Installation

LENS MOUNTING

The C10CH Series camera supports both manual and auto iris lenses, either fixed focal length or varifocal. It also supports both DC and video

drive lenses. It automatically senses an auto iris lens as soon as you plug in the connector. The camera has a standard CS mount that can accept

a C mount lens with a PCMA40 lens adapter.

After mounting a DC drive auto iris lens, but before using the camera, perform the DC drive auto iris automatic adjustment procedure (refer to

DC Iris Level on page 20). Also perform this procedure each time you change the lens.

WIRING AN AUTO IRIS LENS

Auto iris lenses are controlled through the 4-pin drive connector (type D4-152N). Figure 2 identifies the pin connections for the auto iris lens

connector on the side of the camera.

CAMERA MOUNTING

The C10CH Series camera can be mounted from either the top or bottom, depending on the type of camera mount used in your installation. Use a

standard 1/4-20 screw. The maximum thread depth (top) is 0.188 inches (4.7 mm). To extend the thread depth (top) to 0.25 inches (6.4 mm), use

the camera mount spacer (supplied). The maximum thread depth (bottom) is 0.25 inches (6.4 mm).

The C10CH Series camera can be fitted with most Pelco lenses and mounted into most Pelco domes and enclosures, resulting in the greatest

possible number of combinations. This means you can find a solution for nearly any application.

When selecting a lens, dome, or enclosure for this camera, consider how the physical dimensions of each component may affect camera

installation and operation.

NOTE: To simplify lens and enclosure selection, Pelco offers ImagePak options for the C10CH Series camera. Select the lens and the dome or

enclosure, and Pelco will build and test it for you. Contact Pelco or your dealer for more information.

Lens Focusing

After mounting the lens, you must focus your C10CH Series camera. You will adjust both the back focus (on the camera) and the fine focus (on the

lens).

NOTE: The back focus has already been adjusted using a standard CS mount lens. However, you might need to adjust it again to match the

mounted lens.

1. Auto iris only: Cover the auto iris lens with a suitable neutral density (ND) filter; this opens the iris fully. For best results, use an ND3 filter.

2. Manual iris only: Open the iris completely. Figure 7 shows the manual iris, varifocal, and lens focus locking screws for a sample lens.

Refer to your lens documentation for more information.

b. Change AGC to either LOW or HIGH.

c. Select EXIT to save the AGC setting.

4. Aim the camera at the farthest object in the field of view. Make sure it is at least 6.5 ft (2 m) away.

5. Fixed focal length lens only:

a. ^{Set the lens focal length to far (}∞).

b. Adjust the back focus.

c. Use a 1.5-mm Allen wrench to loosen the back focus locking screw.

d. Turn the lens until the image is focused. Tighten the back focus locking screw clockwise.

WARNING: Do not overtighten the back focus locking screw because you may damage the camera.

(Back focus is a coarse adjustment. You will make the fine focus adjustment in the next step.)

e. Adjust the lens focus to achieve the best fine focus.

d. Adjust the lens focus to achieve the best fine focus.

e. Repeat steps c and d until the focus is correct.

7. Manual iris only: Adjust the iris for the best picture quality. The largest aperture gives the best light sensitivity; the smallest aperture

gives the greatest depth of field.

8. Tighten all lens locking screws.

WARNING: When tightening the lens locking screws, do not overtighten or force any screw.

9. Auto iris only: Remove the ND filter.

10. If necessary, reset the AGC setting to its previous value.

Camera Synchronization

Camera synchronization may affect installations that use two or more AC power supplies for multiple cameras. Due to different power phases,

a brief vertical roll may appear on the monitor when switching between cameras. To eliminate this vertical roll, adjust the phase control to

synchronize the cameras to one another.

It may be necessary for two people to communicate when synchronizing cameras, one at the camera and the other at the monitor, to observe the

vertical roll and the effect of any camera adjustments.

To synchronize cameras, complete the following steps:

1. Choose a reference camera to which all other cameras will be phased.

2. Access V-PHASE ADJ menu for a camera. Press the button up and down to adjust the vertical phase until the camera is synchronized to the

reference camera.

A dual trace oscilloscope is recommended, but not required, to adjust camera phase. Align the vertical sync pulses of the reference camera

to the selected camera.

3. After making each adjustment, switch back and forth between the adjusted camera and the reference camera. Repeat this process until the

roll between the cameras disappears completely.

4. Adjust the phase of all other cameras by repeating steps 2 and 3. Always adjust to the reference camera selected in step 1.

5. As soon as you finish customizing this and all other camera settings, save your custom settings into the CUSTOM profile. This protects

them if the camera loses power or if it must be restarted (refer to Profiles on page 18 for more information).

To adjust phase control:

1. Select LINE SYNC on the FUNCTION SETTINGS menu. The LINE SYNC menu appears.

2. Switch the LINE SYNC setting to AUTO.

3. Select V-PHASE ADJ. The V-PHASE ADJ menu appears.

4. Press the button up or down to change the PHASE VALUE. On the C10CH-6 (NTSC) camera, the range is 0 (zero) to 52. On the C10CH-6X

(PAL) camera, the range is 0 (zero) to 62.

5. Press the center of the button to return to the LINE SYNC menu.

6. Select EXIT to close the setup menus.

7. As soon as you finish customizing this and all other camera settings, save your custom settings in the CUSTOM profile. This protects them

if the camera loses power or if it must be restarted (refer to Profiles on page 18 for more information).

Manual White Balance Calibration

In some installations, use manual white balance to render the most accurate image color possible. Mixed color applications may affect the

amount of color adjustment. For example, a small white object on a large blue surface may have a reddish tint. Manual white balance uses a

calibration image to identify the correct white level. The camera then uses this white level when adjusting overall image color.

NOTE: Manual white balance is recommended only for indoor applications that have a single primary light source.

For example a C10CH camera is installed in a pan/tilt enclosure inside a clothing store, in a shopping mall. A variety of colors are located

throughout the store. Overhead lights provide the primary illumination, but some light also enters the store from the mall. As the camera pans a

section filled with blue clothing, the camera may redden the image to compensate for the blue. When properly calibrated, the camera will not try

to adjust scenes with predominant amounts of red or blue.

To calibrate the manual white balance, complete the following steps:

1. Focus the camera on a neutral color scene. Select a neutral scene with the following characteristics:

•

Little or no black

Not predominantly red

Not predominantly blue

No direct light source, such as a lamp or a window

2. Select WHITE BALANCE on the FUNCTION SETTINGS menu.

3. Select AUTO. This calibrates the white balance gain to the neutral scene.

4. Change WHITE BALANCE from AUTO to MANUAL. This locks the white balance

gain into camera memory.

NOTE: If you change WHITE BALANCE from MANUAL to a different mode, the stored manual white balance settings are erased. You will

have to perform this procedure again.

5. Select EXIT to close the setup menus.

6. Focus the camera on the target scene.

7. As soon as you finish customizing this and all other camera settings, save your custom settings into the CUSTOM profile. This protects

them if the camera loses power or if it must be restarted (refer to Profiles on page 18 for more information).
