PRECAUTIONS
In case of problem
Protect from humidity and dust
Do not use the camera if smoke or a strange odour comes from the
unit, or if it seems not to function correctly. Disconnect the power
cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized
Service Centre).
To prevent damages to the camera, do not install it where there is
greasy smoke or steam, where the dampness may get too high, or
where there is a lot of dust.
Protect from high temperatures
Do not open or modify
Do not install close to stoves, or other heat generating devices, such
as spotlights, etc., or where it could be subject to direct sunlight, as
that could cause deformation, discoloration or other damages.
Do not open the cabinet, as it may be dangerous and cause damage
to the unit. For internal settings and repairs, consult your dealer (or a
Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).
Be careful when installing close to the ceiling, in a kitchen or boiler
room, as the temperature may raise to high levels.
Do not put objects inside the unit
Install where the temperature range will stay between –10˚C and 50˚C.
(no condensation)
Make sure that no metal objects or flammable substance get inside
the camera. If used with a foreign object inside, it could cause a fire,
short-circuits or damages.
Cleaning
If water or a liquid gets inside the camera, disconnect the power cord
immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service
Centre). Be careful to protect the camera from rain, sea water, etc.
• Dirt can be removed from the cabinet by wiping it with a soft
cloth. To remove stains, wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a
soft detergent solution and wrung dry, then wipe dry with dry soft
cloth.
Be careful when handling the unit
• Do not use benzine, thinner or other chemical product on the
cabinet, as that may cause deformation and paint peeling. Before
using a chemical cloth, make sure to read all accompanying
instructions. Make sure that no plastic or rubber material comes in
contact with the cabinet for a long period of time, as that may
cause damage or paint peeling.
To prevent damages, do not drop the camera or subject it to strong
shock or vibration.
Install away from electric or magnetic fields
If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric motor,
transformer, audio speakers the magnetic field they generate will
distort the image.

PARTS NAMES
Concerning auto-iris lenses
DC type auto-iris lens
A lens without amplifier circuit that operates only on a DC power source. In general, this type of lens is
referred to as DC type coil lens or DC type non-amplifier lens.
H

(Set the Auto-iris lens switch to the DC position.)
L

LENS
VIDEO type auto-iris lens
VIDEO
A lens with amplifier circuit that operates on video signal and DC power source. In general, this type of lens is
referred to as EE amplifier type lens.
ALC and LEVEL volume level controls are available on the lens for iris adjustments.
(Set the Auto-iris lens switch to the VIDEO position.)
Compatible auto-iris lenses
1/3 inch Sanyo DC type lens
VCL-CS8LY: Standard angle, f= 8 mm
VCL-CS4LY: Wide angle, f= 4 mm
VIDEO type lens
Standard angle, f= 9 mm
Telephoto angle, f= 12 mm
VCL-CS2LY: Ultra-wide angle, f= 2.8 mm
More telephoto angle, f= 16 mm
If using a VIDEO type auto-iris lens
• Set the ALC and LEVEL controls on the lens to adjust the iris. Normally the ALC volume should be turned
all the way to Av (Average).
• Depending on the type of lens used, the lens may not perform properly. In such a case, adjust the LEVEL
volume on the lens casing to correct.

MOUNTING THE LENS
Please use a DC type auto-iris lens (sold separately).
Checking the lens mount
Do not use a lens if length “L” is more than 9 mm. If not, that may damage the camera and prevent
proper installation.
L
Remove the lens mount cap from the camera.
Install the auto-iris lens.
CS mount type lens
1
Carefully align the lens mount with the camera opening, then turn the lens slowly to install it.
C mount type lens
To allow for flange-back adjustment, install the C-mount adaptor (option) on the lens mount, then
C mount type lens
carefully align the lens mount with the camera opening and turn the lens slowly to install it.
2
Connect the lens plug to the lens iris output connector (LENS) on the side of the camera.
When using lenses from other makers, the plug shape may not correspond to the terminal on the camera.
In such a case, remove the original plug and using a soldering iron, connect the supplied lens iris plug
according to the diagram. (Refer to page 8.)

Flange-back adjustment
If the pick-up surface is not correctly positioned with relation to the lens focal point, the picture will be out of focus
(in particular when using auto-iris power zoom lenses, sold separately). If that is the case, adjust the flange-back
position as described below.
1
Before installing the lens, check that the two flange-back lock screws have been tightened.
If the flange-back lock screws are loose, the CS mount ring will not be secured and it will not be possible to
adjust the flange-back.
2
Fully install the lens, then loosen the two flange-back lock screws.
Set the zoom lens to the maximum telephoto position (TELE), then set the focus using the focus ring on the lens.
Set the zoom lens to the maximum wide angle position (WIDE), then set the focus by turning the CS mount ring.
1, 3
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the image stays in focus when changing from a telephoto shot to a wide angle shot.
When the setting is complete, tighten the two flange-back lock screws.

• If used under fluorescent light, the image may flicker. In such a
case, change to incandescent lighting or set the EI/AI switch to
the AI position and use an auto-iris lens.
• When shooting bright subjects, pay attention to the light angle in
order to avoid or minimize the smear phenomenon effect.
• If conditions are outside the electronic iris operation range or more
than the maximum illumination, it will cause saturation of the CCD.
In that case, use a manual iris lens.

If more than two cameras are used, please repeat this procedure
for all the cameras.
CAUTION:
• When using the high speed electronic shutter, the EI/AI switch
must be set to the AI position.
• Using the high speed electronic shutter indoors with low lighting,
will give darker pictures. In such a case, add some lights to make
sure the lighting is sufficient. If the lighting is very bright, pay

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before taking the camera for repairs, please check below to make sure that the camera is used correctly. If it still does not perform correctly,
please consult your dealer or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre.
No picture on the monitor screen
• Is the power turned on to all connected devices? Is the voltage correct?
• Are all the signal connecting cables correctly connected?
• Is the lighting sufficient?
• Has the lens cap been removed?
• Is the lens type (DC or VIDEO) correctly selected?
Depending on the type of lens, the A. I. LENS switch must be set accordingly.
• Is the iris control correctly set?
A: When using a DC type lens, the LEVEL volume should be adjusted.
B: When using a VIDEO type lens, the LEVEL volume (on the lens) should be adjusted.
The picture is not clear
• Is the monitor correctly adjusted?
• Is the flange-back position correctly set?
• Is the lens focus correctly adjusted?
• Are the lens surfaces clean?
If there is dust or finger prints on the lens, the image quality will deteriorate. To clean the lens use a soft cloth or a commercially available lens
cleaning set.
