5. CONNECTIONS AND OPERATIONS  
Notes on connecting  
• Power plugs of connected equipment must be disconnected before installations.  
• A 75-ohm coaxial cable with connector (3C-2V or 5C-2V) is required for standard  
connection.  
• For details of wiring and operation of equipment to be connected, refer to their  
operation manuals.  
• Lens, power supply with cable, connectors and coaxial cable are not supplied with  
the camera.

AC 120V  
(
) Power cord recommended is twisted pair line  
with a minimum wire size of 18 AWG.  
*
24V AC UL Listed Class 2 power supply / 12V DC power supply  
CAUTION: Never input 24V AC and 12V DC at the same time.  
Do not overload power supply  
The recommended power supplies for this camera are 6 watt minimum for each 24V  
AC UL Listed Class 2 power supply or 12V DC power supply.

5-2. Line-Lock Control  
• Matching the vertical synchronization with the power frequency is called the Line-Lock.  
• This function is activated when the SYNC menu is selected to LL.  
• When two or more cameras are switched by the video switcher for viewing by a monitor TV, the  
vertical sync.phase can be locked with the power frequency, and a stable vertical sync.is obtained  
without being disturbed at the time of switching.

Note:  
• The camera is synchronized to the power frequency of 60 1 Hz covering a normal fluctuation of  
the power frequency. However, the camera may not cover a large fluctuation caused from the  
power generated by an engine generator, etc.  
• It takes about 10 seconds or more until a stable synchronization is obtained after the power is  
turned on.This is normal, because several seconds are required to stabilize the camera against  
power noise.  
• Refer to "7. LINE-LOCK PHASE" for adjustment.  
5-3. Operation  
1. Mount the lens to the camera.  
2. Mount the camera to the camera mount.  
Caution: If the lens weight is more than 2.2 lbs (1 kg) mount the lens to the camera mount.  
Refer to section 6 for lens types and connection.  
3. Connect the cables and support equipment to obtain a picture.  
4. Adjust the lens aperture (if applicable).

Back-Focus Adjusment  
Back-Focus is adjusted at the factory to accommodate most standard lenses.  
However, at times, slight adjustment to the IK-6550A back-  
focus is necessary.  
Focus Lock Screw  
Loosen the Focus Lock Screw. Achieve a clear image by  
rotating the focus ring.  
Afterwards, tighten the Focus Lock Screw.

IRIS  
This camera supports two types of auto-iris lens: Video-

7. LINE-LOCK PHASE  
If two or more cameras within a system have  
different AC line phases are switched by the video  
switcher, the picture on the monitor TV will fluctuate  
vertically.  
Connect 24V AC input lines of all cameras so that  
they all share the same phase.  
If you still have vertical fluctuation, adjust the  
V.PHASE controller.

10. NOTES ON USE AND INSTALLATION  
• Do not aim the camera at the sun  
Never aim the camera at the sun even with the camera power off.  
• Do not shoot intense light  
Intense light such as a spotlight may cause a bloom or smear. A vertical stripe may appear on  
the screen. However, this is not a malfunction.  
• Treat the camera with care  
Do not drop the camera or subject it to strong shock of vibration.  
• Never touch internal parts  
Do not touch the internal parts of the camera other than the parts specified.  
• Do not splash water on the camera  
Install the camera where the camera can be kept dry. If the camera gets wet, turn off the power  
and contact your dealer.  
• Keep the camera installation away from video noise  
If cables are wired near electric lighting wires or a TV set, noise may appear in images. In this  
event, relocate cables or reinstall equipment.  
• Check the ambient temperature and humidity  
Avoid using the camera where the temperature is hotter or colder than the specified operating  
range. Doing so could affect the internal parts or cause the image quality to deteriorate. Special  
care is required to use the camera at high temperature and humidity.  
• Should you notice any trouble  
If any trouble occurs while you are using the camera, turn off the power and contact your dealer.  
If you continue to use the camera when there is something wrong with it, the trouble may much  
worse and an unpredictable accident may occur.
