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.

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.

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

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.
