Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this product.

(These instructions are for TK-C925U/TK-C925E/TK-C926EG.)

Before beginning to operate this unit, please read the instruction manual

carefully in order to make sure that the best possible performance is obtained.

䡵 Realizing a High Picture Quality

This camera realizes 540 TV lines (standard) and S/N50 dB (standard) by

employing a highly sensitive CCD with 380,000 pixels (TK-C925U) or 440,000

pixels (TK-C925E/TK-C926EG) and a high-resolution video processing circuit.

䡵 Day/Night surveillance

When the light is low, the camera automatically switches to high-sensitive

mode (B&W mode) to allow for day/night surveillance.

䡵 CRT/LCD monitor compatible

This camera is compatible for both CRT/LCD monitors. You can make settings

that are easier to view according to the type of monitor used.

䡵 Realizing sharper video images

The super detail function allows you to take sharper images.

Introduction

Storage and Location of Use

䢇 This camera has been designed for indoor use. When you use it outdoors,

be sure to use a housing or the like.

䢇 Do not install or use the camera in the following places.

● In a place exposed to rain or moisture.

● In a place with vapor or oil, for example in a kitchen.

● When the ambient temperature rises above or falls below the acceptable

range (from -10 I to 50 I)

● In a place at which corrosive gases are emitted.

● Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves or magnetism.

● In a place subject to vibration.

● In a place with excessive dirt.

䢇 Using this unit or cables connected to this unit at places at which strong

radio waves and magnetism are emitted (e.g. near a radio, TV, transformer

or motor) may give rise to noises in the image and changes in its color.

Maintenance

䢇 Turn off the power before performing maintenance.

䢇 Clean the camera with a soft cloth. Wiping it with thinner or benzene may

melt the surface or cause it to fog. For tough stains, wipe using a cloth that

is dipped into a neutral detergent diluted with water, followed by wiping with

a dry cloth.

Energy Conservation

䢇 When the camera is not in use for a long time, turn off the power of the

system for safety and energy conservation reasons.

Operating Precautions

11

Others

䢇 This camera comes with a built-in AGC circuit. The sensitivity increases

automatically at a dark place and the screen may appear grainy. This is not

a malfunction.

䢇 While the AGC is activated, if a transceiver which causes strong

electromagnetic wave is used near the camera, the picture may suffer from

beat.

䢇 Please use the camera more than five meters from such transceivers.

䢇 You may hear some noise during power on and when the screen is

switched between the color and the black and white mode, because of the

movement of the optical filter switching motor. Also, the image will be

somewhat distorted.

䢇 The beat may sometimes appear on the screen if gain is raised when the

line lock is in use, but the phenomenon takes place due to the fluctuation of

power frequency and is not a malfunction.

䢇 When this camera is used in the White Balance ATW (automatic tracking)

mode, the color tone may differ slightly from the actual color due to the

principle of the automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a

malfunction.

䢇 If a high brightness object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the

screen may have white vertical tailings. This is a characteristic of the CCD

known as the smear phenomenon and is not a malfunction.

䢇 When a high brightness object is shot, sometimes undulations can be

observed on the vertical lines of the object. However, this phenomenon is

peculiar to the camera and is not a malfunction.

䢇 Caution for operating the VIDEO IRIS lens

If the LEVEL dial of the VIDEO IRIS lens is set to a low level (L position), a

malfunction - such as the hunting phenomenon where the iris opens and

closes involuntarily - can occur. In such a case, first set the LEVEL dial on

the lens to the H position, and then adjust it to an optimum level while

checking the video signal.

䢇 The cable stopper on the terminal block can come off sometimes.

Therefore, be sure to take enough time and fix the cable securely.

䢇 This camera achieves optical performance by using specified lens (1/3

inch size) conformed to CCD size. However, some general lens may not

meet this specification (effective image circle is small or optic displacement

is big). When such lens are used, negative effects such as shading may

occur.

1. Check the mounting method of the lens before mounting

● This camera is set to CS-mount lens before shipment. To use a C-mount

lens, loosen the back focus fastening screw with a screwdriver, turn the

back focus adjustment ring with your finger or the screwdriver and change

the mounting method.

● For the dimension (a) of the lens mounting section as illustrated in the

diagram, use the value that is shown in the table below.

Note:

● Never use one that exceeds the dimension (a) as it will damage the inner

part of the camera and will not allow normal installation. This will result in a

malfunction.
