Turning AONB DAY & NIGHT function  
switches the image to black-and-white in a  
dark place. When switching between colored  
and black-and-white images, the bright  
portions of the screen are enhanced and the  
clarity of the screen may deteriorate. Overall  
the sensitivity increases in the case of black-  
and-white images, therefore the scene may  
appear grainy and white spots may become  
visible. This is not a malfunction.  
Precautions for proper use  
of this product  
Storage and Location of Use  
Do not install this unit at the following  
locations.  
Places that are exposed to vapor or oil, such  
as kitchens.  
Places that exceed the ambient temperature  
range (-10 I to 50 I).  
Places at which corrosive gases are emitted.  
Places where radiation or X-rays and strong  
radio waves or magnetism are present.  
Places that are subject to vibration.  
When the power source voltage drops (such  
as during lightning or upon turning on the air-  
conditioner) distortion or noise may occur in  
the image.  
When this unit is moved from a cold to a  
warm place, dew condensation may occur,  
which may result in camera malfunctioning.  
In this case, leave this unit at room  
temperature for about 1 hour before turning  
on the power.  
Using this unit or cables connected to this  
unit in places where strong radio waves and  
magnetic fields are present (e.g. near a radio,  
TV, transformer or motor) may increase the  
noises in the image and color changes .  
The rotation angle of this unit has been  
enlarged to enable installation at a wide  
variety of locations. When the zoom function  
of the lens is set to Wide and the tilt angle set  
close to 70°, a portion of this unit may be  
visible on the shooting screen depending on  
the rotation angle.  
Do not install this unit at a place that is  
directly exposed to cold air or near the outlet  
of an air-conditioner. The dome cover may  
become foggy when there is a drastic change  
in temperature.  
When this occurs, adjust the angle of view  
accordingly. (A Pg. 25)  
Although this unit is IP66-compliant, water-  
proof under all kinds of environment is not  
guaranteed.  
To prevent fogging due to changes in  
temperature, make sure to insert the supplied  
silica gel into the designated location.  
(A Pg. 24)  
Others  
This unit comes with a built-in AGC circuit.  
When the AGC function is turned on, the  
sensitivity increases automatically at a dark  
place and the screen may appear grainy. This  
is not a malfunction.  
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 power supply and voltage for  
the camera that is within -10 % of the rated  
voltage.  
When using the Automatic Tracking White  
balance (ATW) mode, the color tone may  
differ slightly from the actual color. This slight  
color variation is caused by the principle of  
Auto Tracking White balance circuit and is not  
a camera malfunction.  
All Interconnecting Equipment must be UL  
Listed.  
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  
lens performance and is not a malfunction.  
(TK-C215VP12U/E only)  
When shooting an object with high brightness  
(lamps, etc.), vertical lines may appear in the  
image on the screen (smear phenomenon)  
and bleeding may be found around the high  
brightness object (blooming phenomenon).  
These are due to the characteristics of the  
CCD and not malfunctions.

mode as with pressing the [RESET] button.  
(Default setting: ATW)  
When there is a new alarm input while the lens  
is at the alarm position, the lens continues to  
remain in the alarm position for 15 seconds  
upon the last alarm input.  
STATE:  
Upon input of an alarm, the lens moves to the  
preset zoom/focus position (alarm position).  
The lens remains in the alarm position for 15

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.

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

Video signal cables  
Connect the coaxial cables (BNC) to the video  
signal output connector (BNC).  
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.

The camera unit can be panned, tilted or rotated.  
Adjust the camera in the direction of the object.  
Note:  
Note:  
Moving the camera beyond its adjustable  
range may cause failure in maintaining the  
performance of this camera.  
Before touching the camera unit, make sure  
to touch the metal surface of the [MONITOR]  
terminal to discharge any static electricity  
from your body. Static electricity may cause  
the camera to malfunction.  
As this camera has a wide tilt/rotation range,  
a part of this camera may appear on the  
screen depending on the angle of view and  
orientation.  
Do not hold the lens unit when adjusting the  
direction of the camera. Applying force on the  
lens unit may damage it.  
Before adjusting the shooting direction of the  
camera, ensure that the pan fastening screw  
is loosened. Moving the lens unit without  
loosening the pan fastening screw may  
damage the lens unit.
