14. Check if the cable length compensation (6) selector is set to the correct length. The length set must be the
same as the length of the system cable (0-300m/900ft max.) connecting monitor and camera.
Remark: If the length of the system cable is more than 200m/600ft, a mains power adapter (optional should
be used (the max. cable length is 300m/900ft). Connect the adaptor to the mains and to the external supply
socket (7) at the back of the camera.

Focus adjustment
1
• Adjust the focus ring of the camera lens to obtain optimal image sharpness.
Remark: If still no sharp object image is obtained, you should adjust the
back-focus of the camera.
Back-focus adjustment
Caution: Back-focus adjustment is only necessary when no sharp object
image is obtained with the focus adjustment ring.
• Set focus adjustment ring to Far or Infinity (1).
CL 66610005_304B.AI
• Aim the camera at an object at least 15 metres/45 feet away.
Remark: When bright light sources are positioned within thecamera view field; dim the light source.
• Loosen the back-focus locking ring (2).
• Rotate the lens, including the CS-mount ring, until the video image on the monitor is sharp.
• Tighten the back-focus locking ring (2), while keeping the lens in place.

Camera sound on/off
Use switch (9) to enable or disable the built-in camera microphone.
Outdoor use
The camera switches to specific settings optimised for outdoor use
when connecting an auto-iris lens.
For outdoor use a protective cover has to be used to protect the camera.
When the camera is used outdoors an auto-iris lens is recommended.

Using a different lens
The CS-mount of the camera allows you to use other lenses. The field of view (= covered area) of
an 8mm lens is half of the field of view of the 4mm lens (see figure below).

The auto-iris lenses are recommended when the
camera is used in environments with variable light
conditions (eg. outdoors). By means of the auto-iris the
amount of light going through the lens is regulated.

If the cable length between the monitor and camera is more than 200m/600ft a mains power adapter should
be used (see accessories).

Tips for maintenance
Cleaning
You can clean the outside of the camera with a moist fluff-free cloth or shammy leather cloth.
When cleaning the camera lens a special cleaning cloth should be used. Do NOT use cleaning fluids based
on alcohol, methylated spirit, ammonia, etc..
Never touch the glass of the camera lens to prevent its delicate coating from damaging.
Avoid direct contact with water.
