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.

PREPARATIONS AND CONNECTIONS  
Concerning the coaxial cable  
To connect the camera to peripheral devices, use a coaxial cable with BNC plug.  
Cable type RG-6U (5C-2V), 500 m maximum.  
Cable type RG-11U (7C-2V), 600 m maximum.  
If the type of peripheral devices connected, the type of cable used and/or the cable length  
are not as specified, the image and synchronization signals may not be transmitted  
correctly.  
CAUTION:  
Use CCTV/Video grade coaxial cable. Due to its construction, an RG-59U cable will not  
transmit the signal properly when installed through conduits or through the air, and  
therefore cannot be used.  
Installing the BNC plug (sold separately)

1 Cut the extremity of the coaxial cable (sold separately), as illustrated.  
2 Insert the cable through the adaptor, then turn the shielding mesh over.  
3 Loosen the center wire securing screw of the plug, then install the cable in the BNC  
plug, so that the center wire is threaded through the plug center opening.

CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION  
Basic connections for monitoring or recording  
The peripheral devices (VCR, monitor, etc.) and cables are sold separately.  
(Example of connection to a monitor)  
1 Make the video signal connection between the camera and the monitor or time lapse  
VCR.  
2 Plug the AC adaptor to a wall outlet.  
Adjust the picture on the monitor using the Brightness and Contrast controls.  
NOTE: (Fig. 1)  
Make sure the AC adaptor is not  
connected to the wall outlet before  
connecting it to the 12 V DC input  
terminals.  
When making the connections be careful  
to respect the polarity and not to  
shortcut the terminals.  
Multiple cameras connection  
You can use multiple cameras by connecting them a camera switcher or a quad unit (sold  
separately), then conducting the surveillance from one location by splitting the monitor screen  
to view the image from each camera, or by switching the image from each camera on the  
monitor screen. For detailed information, please refer to the installed devices instruction  
manuals.

CAUTION:  
If the base is installed on a wall or if for any other reason the cable cannot be run behind  
the installation surface, break-off the tab (C) with nippers to allow the cable to go through.  
Camera installation  
1 Install the base on the ceiling, etc., using the four supplied tapping screws (A).  
This camera is not waterproof. It cannot be installed outside.  
When installing the base, make sure to verify that the installation surface will allow full  
tightening of the screws. Plaster board, etc., may not give a strong enough installation,  
and it is recommended to use a reinforcement, or other method so that the screws are  
anchored securely.

Backlight compensation setting  
When the subject is backlit, set the BLC switch to 1 (ON).  
The backlight compensation will measure the light in the center area of the image and the lens  
iris will be automatically set for optimum image quality. The subject contained in this area will  
be clear and bright.  
When the sides of the subject background are very bright, and the subject itself is dark.  
In this case, the backlight compensation default setting may not give good results. To  
obtain a better image, set the BLC switch to 1 (ON), then turn the LEVEL volume control  
to the right until the desired correction level is obtained.

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS  
Line phase adjustment  
When using a camera switcher to connect two cameras or more to one monitor, there may be  
a vertical roll of the images when switched, if the phases differ. In such a case, adjust as  
described below.  
Using the camera switcher, switch the display on the monitor from camera 1 to camera  
2.  
Adjust the L-PHASE volume control on camera 2 until the vertical roll of the image stops.  
If more than two cameras are used, please repeat this procedure for all the cameras.  
NOTE:  
If the vertical roll cannot be corrected by adjusting the L-PHASE volume on camera 2, try  
adjusting the L-PHASE volume on camera 1. If it still cannot be corrected, please check that  
the polarity of the power cords of all connected devices is correct.
