Use a circuit breaker which is capable of shutting off all the poles of the main power supply with the exception of the protective ground conductor.

(3) Install the AC adapter near the power outlet, and connect it through the power plug.

If there is a possibility of noise interference

Either wire the cables so that the power cable (ceiling light cord) of AC 220 V or more, and the signal cable are placed at least 1 m apart. Alternatively run each cable through its own metal conduit. (The metal conduits must be grounded.)

Radio signal interference

If the unit is positioned near a TV or radio transmitting antenna or a strong electrical field or magnetic field (such as that generated by a motor, transformer or power lines), its images may be distorted and/or the images may be affected by noise.

When connecting the cables, ensure that the connector areas will not be subject to any load.

Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

Allowing the generated heat to escape

This unit allows the heat generated inside to escape from its surfaces.

Do not install the unit in a location where it will be surrounded by walls or other surfaces and where heat will be trapped. In addition, the heat is dissipated to the bottom panel which will warm up over time: This is normal and not indicative of any trouble.

IMPORTANT

p The product name and its electrical ratings are

marked on its bottom panel.

Operating precautions

Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.

To produce pictures with eye‑pleasing colours, shoot under the proper lighting conditions.

The pictures may not appear with their proper colours when shooting under fluorescent lights.

Select the proper lighting as required.

To ensure a stable performance in the long term

Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts to deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.

(Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C)

Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air directly toward the installation location.

Image persistence on the MOS sensor colour filters

If parts of the MOS sensor are exposed continuously to spotlights or other bright lights, the colour filters inside the

MOS sensor will deteriorate, and the parts concerned may become discolored.

Do not point the camera at strong lights.

When parts of the MOS sensor are exposed to spotlights or other strong lights, blooming (a phenomenon where the edges of strong lights become blurred) may occur.

Blooming

Troubleshooting

Symptom

The pictures are too light or too dark

Cause and remedial action

The subjects appear distorted

p If a subject has suddenly crossed in front of the camera, it may

appear slightly distorted because this camera uses a MOS image sensor.

This is normal and not indicative of any problem.

p The subjects sometimes appear distorted owing to the

characteristics of the wide-angle lens used. This is normal and not indicative of any problem.

When the flash is fired during shooting, only the top or bottom of the screen becomes lighter

p With a MOS image sensor, the shooting timing differs slightly

between the top left and bottom right of the screen. This means that when the flash is fired, the bottom of the screen will become lighter in the field concerned and the top will become lighter in the next field.

This is normal and not indicative of any problem.

When fine lines or cyclical patterns are shot, flickering is seen or colouring is added to them

systematically on each image sensor. It is noticeable when the spatial frequency of a subject and the pixel pitch are brought into proximity so change the camera angle or take other such action.
