Notes on Use

Power supply

• The SSC-E433P operates on either DC 12 V or AC 24 V (50 Hz) power. The SSC-E433P automatically detects the power.
• The SSC-E438P must always be operated with an AC 220 - 240 V (50 Hz) power supply.

Handling of the unit
Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or to get combustible or metallic material inside the body. If used with foreign matter inside, the camera is liable to fail, or to cause fire or electric shock.

Operating and storage locations
Avoid aiming the camera at very bright objects such as the sun or electric lights for an expanded period. Avoid operating or storing the unit in the following locations.

Care of the unit

Other

In the event of any problems with the operation of the camera, contact your Sony service representative.

1. Lens mount
   Use to mount an appropriate CS-mount lens.
2. Focal length adjustment
   Use this screw to adjust the focal length (the distance between the lens mounting plane and the image plane).
3. LENS connector (4 pin socket)
   Supplies power and control signals to an auto iris lens.
4. Tripod screws
   The screw holes for attaching the tripod are located on both the top and bottom of the camera. Use a 1/4" UNC-20 screw to attach a tripod to the camera. The tripod must be set up on a flat surface and tightened firmly by hand.
   
   
   Use the mounting screw whose length is 4.5 mm – 7 mm only. Use of other screws may cause improper mounting and damage parts inside the camera.

Switch/Terminal area

5. VIDEO OUT connector (BNC-type)
6. Mode switches
   1. SYNC (INT/LL) switch
      Use to select the synchronization system from INT (Internal) or LL (Line Lock).
   2. AGC ON/OFF switch
      Use to increase the gain of the video amplifier when dark.
   3. BLC ON/OFF switch
      When set to ON, adjusts exposure to compensate for situations where the subject is lit from behind.
   4. CCD-IRIS ON/OFF switch
      When using a manual iris lens, set this to "ON" to automatically adjust the sensitivity according to the incidental light conditions. When using an auto iris lens, set this to "OFF."
   5. WHT PRO/ATW switch
      White balance is automatically adjusted according to the color temperature of the specific light source. When shooting with a special light source such as a sodium vapor lamp, set this to "ATW." When shooting with other light sources such as a fluorescent light, incandescent lamp or natural light, set this to "PRO."
   6. DAY/NIGHT AUTO/OFF switch
      When set to ON, automatically toggles between color and black & white mode. ("AGC" should also be set to ON.)
   7. DAY/NIGHT TIME SHORT/LONG switch
      Use to determine the detection time for the mode change. Set either to S (Short) (about 2 seconds or more) or L (Long) (about 30 seconds or more).
   8. DAY/NIGHT LEVEL HIGH/LOW switch
      The mode toggles between color and black & white at a predetermined level of brightness. Set the level either to LOW (approx. 1 lx) or HIGH (approx. 5 lx).
7. AC 24 V/DC 12 V screw terminals (SSC-E433P)
   Connect to an external power supply of AC 24 V or DC 12 V.
8. AC INLET (SSC-E438P)
   Connect this to a 220 V to 240 V AC power supply.
9. Ground terminal (screw type)
10. Fall-prevention wire rope mounting screw hole
    When installing the camera to a ceiling or wall, secure the supplied fall-prevention wire rope to this hole using the supplied screw.
11. LEVEL adjustment screw
    Use to adjust the iris level when you are using a DC controlled auto iris lens.
12. V PHASE adjustment screw
    Use to adjust the vertical phase of cameras synchronized by Line lock.

Installation

Suitable lenses

The lens must be a CS-mount type lens weighing less than 1 kg. The protrusion behind the mounting surface must be 4 mm or less.

Installation of an Auto Iris Lens Connector

Install the lens connector (not supplied) when using an Auto Iris Lens. This installation should be done only by qualified service personnel or system installers. A lens connector is not included with this camera package.

Fitting the lens

1. Insert the lens plug in the LENS connector.
   When fitting a manual-iris lens, omit step 3.

• Check the lens mount
  Check the lens mount at least once a year to ensure it has not become loose. If conditions warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.

Installing the camera

ATTENTION
If installing the camera on the ceiling, be sure it is secure. If not securely installed, the camera may fall and injury may occur.
If the camera is installed on the ceiling using equipment such as a bracket, housing and motored swivel base (pan/tilt), do the following:

Attaching the fall-prevention wire rope

When you install the camera on a ceiling or a high position, be sure to attach the supplied fall-prevention wire rope to prevent the camera from falling.
Attach the fall-prevention wire rope to the screw hole on the rear of the camera, as in the illustration.

Note
Take care not to short-circuit the power terminal or the cable with the wire rope when you attach it.

1. Secure the wire rope to the junction box on the ceiling.
   Use a screw to match the screw hole of your junction box (not supplied).

Use the supplied screws for installation. If not, the wire rope may not function properly.

Connecting the Camera

1. Select the synchronization system using the sync (INT/LL) switch.
   Note
   Use this switch to set the camera synchronization mode to internal or line lock. The line lock is available only for AC 24 V. When the camera power is DC 12 V, be sure to select the internal mode.
2. Connect to the appropriate power source using a power cord.
   SSC-E438P: to AC 220 - 240 V power source
   SSC-E433P: to a DC 12 V, or an AC 24 V power source
   Notes

Phase Adjustment

Vertical phase (Line lock mode)
The picture may roll vertically if the vertical phase is not set. Use the V PHASE adjustment screw to adjust the vertical phase.

Adjusting the Incident Light Level

Since the incidental light level has been preset at the factory, usually no further adjustment is required. If the picture is too dark, however, or if the picture's highlights are extremely overexposed, adjust the LEVEL adjustment screw with a screwdriver. Turn toward L (low) to make the picture darker. Turn toward H (high) to make the picture brighter.

CCD Characteristics

The following conditions may be observed when using a CCD camera, but are not due to any fault with the camera.
Vertical smear: This phenomenon occurs when viewing a very bright object.
Patterned noise: This is a fixed pattern which may appear over the entire monitor screen when the camera is operated at high temperature.
Jagged picture: When viewing stripes, straight lines, or similar patterns, the image on the screen may appear jagged.
