obtained.  
Characteristics  
Realizing a High Picture Quality  
This camera realizes 540 TV lines and S/N50 dB  
by employing a highly sensitive CCD with  
380,000 pixels and a high-resolution video  
processing circuit.  
Enlarged Shooting Range  
The adjustment range of the shooting direction is  
wide and mounting of the camera to the wall is  
possible with the employment of 3 axis rotation  
mechanism.  
Non Camera-Like Design

If the DAY/NIGHT switch is turned on, the  
mode changes automatically to black and  
white in dark places. As the sensitivity  
increases, the image may look grainy and  
white spots may appear.  
Operating Precautions  
To save energy, when it is not being used turn  
the system’s power off.  
When changing modes, bright portions of  
image may be emphasized but this is not a  
failure of the camera.  
This camera has been designed for indoor  
use. It cannot be used outdoors.  
Do not install or use the camera in the  
When the supply voltage of the camera is low,  
the input protection circuit within the camera  
may be triggered and the power of the camera  
may turn off automatically. Make sure to use a  
supply voltage for the camera that is within -10  
% of the rated voltage.)  
Upon switching between the HOME and  
ALARM positions, the camera focus may  
change slightly after the zoom operation  
comes to a stop. This is due to the built-in  
lensperformance and is not a malfunction.  
(TK-C215V12 only)  
When the camera is moved from a cold area  
to room temperature, condensation may occur  
causing the camera to malfunction as a result.  
In this case, turn on the power after waiting for  
a few hours.  
This unit enlarges the rotation angle to  
support wide range set up.  
following places.  
In a place exposed to rain or moisture.  
In a place with vapor or oil soot, for example in  
a kitchen.  
In a temperature outside the operating  
temperature range (-10 f to 50 f).  
Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong  
radio waves or magnetism.  
In a place where corrosive gasses are  
generated.  
In a place subject to vibration.  
In a place with excessive dirt.  
In an environment where there is cold air or  
near the air outlet of an air conditioner.  
If this camera and the cables connected to this  
camera are used where there are strong  
electromagnetic waves or where there is  
magnetism present, for example near a radio  
or TV transmitter, power transformer or an  
electric motor, the picture may produce noise  
and the colors may be affected.  
When the zoom of the lens is set to WIDE end  
and the tilt angle is set around 80Њ,the dome  
cover can be visible into the image depending  
on the rotation angle.  
In this case, adjust the image angle if  
necessary. (A pg. 23)  
This camera incorporates an AGC circuit. As a  
result, when it is used under low light  
conditions, the camera sensitivity is  
automatically boosted and the picture may  
look uneven. This is not a malfunction  
however.  
When this camera is used in the ATW mode,  
the recorded colors may be slightly different  
from the actual colors due to the operational  
principles of the auto-tracking white balance  
circuit. This is however not a malfunction.  
All Interconnecting Equipment must be UL  
Listed.  
Note on consumable parts  
(TK-C215V12 only)  
The following parts are consumable and  
should be replaced after a certain number of  
hours or a count of operations.  
The service lives given below are only typical  
values. They may vary depending on the  
operating environment and conditions. Note  
that the replacement of consumable parts is  
chargeable even when  
If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is  
shot, the image on the screen may have  
vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming) at its  
periphery. This is a characteristic of the CCD,  
and is not a defect.  
they are replaced before the termination of the  
warranty period.

About Connection Cables  
Connect the DC 12 V or the AC 24 V power  
supply to the DC 12 V/AC 24 V terminals on the  
terminal board. To prevent connection errors or a  
cable disconnection, we recommend the use of  
lug plates for the connections. The following table  
shows the connection distances and connection  
cables provided that 2-conductor VVF cables  
(vinyl-insulated vinyl sheath cables) are used.  
The maximum connection distance varies with  
the type of cable used. Please refer carefully to  
the table for each cable during connection.  
* Be sure to turn off the power of devices before  
connecting cables.

CAUTION:  
If thin cables are used (i.e. with a high  
resistance), a significant voltage drop will occur  
when the unit is at its maximum power  
consumption.  
Either use a thick cable to restrict the voltage  
drop at the camera side to below 10 %, or place  
the power supply near to the camera.  
When the voltage is low, the protection circuit  
within the camera may be triggered and the  
power of the camera may turn off automatically.

Electrical Specifications of Alarm Input  
Terminals  
(TK-C215V12 only)  
To prevent penetration of noise in the internal  
circuitry, apply a non-voltage contact signal to  
the ALARM input terminal. Never apply a  
voltage.  
Apply an alarm signal for at least 200 ms. If it is  
shorter, it is not guaranteed that the signal will  
be recognized as an alarm signal.  
Under the alarm status (status when the metal  
contact is “make”), select the contact or  
connecting wire such that the maximum wire  
resistance between the ALARM IN and ALARM  
GND is within 150 K.

White-spot correction  
2. Cover the lens surface using a black sheet  
of paper, etc. so that light does not enter the  
lens.  
As a general characteristic unique to CCDs,  
white-spots may appear on the screen with age.  
In order to reduce this phenomenon, this unit is  
equipped with a white-spot correction feature.  
Switch on the camera power supply and wait for  
at least 30 minutes.  
3. Set the function selection switch 8 to  
[SPOT]. (

[SPOT] button  
The white-spot correction feature of this  
unit does not guarantee the correction of  
all white spots.  
Depending on the characteristic of white  
spots, correction may not be possible.  
When performing white-spot correction,  
accurate data may not be achieved in case  
of highly detailed pixels since correction is  
made using the information of surrounding  
pixels.  
The result of white-spot correction is  
maintained until the next correction is  
performed.
