Features
The camera uses a high-resolution
380,000 pixel (U type) / 440,000 pixel (E
type), high-sensitivity CCD to realize high
picture quality with horizontal resolution
of 535 TV lines and S/N50dB.
Dome-type design allows application in
various locations.
Built-in backlight compensation feature to
improve the quality of video taken under
backlight conditions.
A 4inch square electrical box compatible
Built-in white-spot correction feature
Before starting an important recording,
be sure to perform a test recording in
order to confirm that a normal recording
is possible.
We do not accept liability for the loss of
a recording in the case of it becoming
impossible to record due to a problem
in the video camera, VCR or video tape.
We do not accept liability for any
damage to the camera in cases when
it is dropped because of incomplete
installation due to not observing the
installation instructions correctly.
Please be careful when installing the
camera.
Operating Precautions
To save energy, when it is not being used
turn the system's power off.
This camera has been designed for indoor
use. It cannot be used outdoors.
This camera has been designed
exclusively to be hung from the ceiling. It
may malfunction if it is placed on a surface
or if it is tilted.
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 soot, for
example in a kitchen.
· In a temperature outside the operating
temperature range (­10°C to 50°C).
· Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong
radio waves or magnetism.
· In a place where corrosive gasses are
generated.
· In a place subject to vibration.
· In a place with excessive dirt.
If this camera and the cables connected
to this camera are used where there are
strong electromagnetic waves or where
there is magnetism present, for example
near a radio or TV transmitter, power
transformer or an electric motor, the picture
may produce noise and the colors may be
affected.
This camera incorporates an AGC circuit.
As a result, when it is used under low light
conditions, the camera sensitivity is
automatically boosted and the picture may
look uneven. This is not a malfunction
however.
The white balance setting when used
under a fluorescent lamp should be ATW
(Auto White).
When this camera is used in the ATW
mode, the recorded colors may be slightly
different from the actual colors due to the
operational principles of the auto-tracking
white balance circuit. This is however not
a malfunction.
English
E-5
If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp)
is shot, the image on the screen may have
vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming) at
its periphery. This is a characteristic of the
CCD, and is not a defect.
Do not touch the dome cover of the lens
directly with your hand, contamination of
this cover will lead to a deterioration of the
picture quality.
Observe the following when carrying out
camera maintenance.
·Turn the power OFF before proceeding
to carry out maintenance.
· Clean the dome cover lens using a lens
wiper cloth (or a tissue).
If it is contaminated seriously, clean the
contaminated part with a cloth (or a tissue)
which has been soaked in a solution of
water and a neutral detergent.
Safety Precautions
· Installation of this unit requires expertise.
Please contact your dealer for details.
· The ceiling to mount the TK-C205 has to
be strong enough to support ten times the
weight of this product.
If the ceiling is not strong enough, make
sure to apply reinforcement to the ceiling
before installation.
· Be sure to tighten the screws and nuts se-
curely, Insufficient tightening may cause the
unit to fall from its mount.
· The unit is to be powered by a DC 12 V or
an AC 24 V power supply.
The AC 24 V power supply should conform
to the following:
Class 2 only (U type)
Isolated power supply only (E type)
