5. Notes to users Power supply Connect a 9V DC voltage (8.5 to 9.5V) from an external regulated DC power supply. Use a stable power supply without ripple and noise. Prior to turning on the power switch , check that the polarities of the power cable are correct , referring to the connection diagram (Page 11 , 12) To protect CCD (sensor) Do not touch the glass surface of the CCD sensor to avoid deterioration in picture...

Phenomena inherent to CCD imaging device Following are phenomena inherent to a CCD imaging device , and not defects. Smear and blooming When strong light (lamp , fluorescent lamp , reflected light , etc.) is shot , pale bands are displayed vertically above and below the light. In this case , change the angle of the camera so that such strong light does not enter the camera through the lens.

8. Installation When installing the camera in a housing or unit of equipment, secure with two M2 screws inserted into the 2.5 mm diameters holes of the SENS board base plate. 1. Use the SENS board holds to install the camera. Avoid using only the Main board, due to risk of damage to the board connector.
9. Typical connection BE-IR30 Housing ZHR-7 Note1 : When more than one video monitor is connected in series , set the 75 termination switch on the last unit to ON. Note2 : Supply voltage range : 8.5 to 9.5V Be sure to check the polarities of the power source before turning on the external DC power supply.

BE-IR31 Housing ZHR-7 Note1 : When more than one video monitor is connected in series , set the 75 termination switch on the last unit to ON. Note2 : Supply voltage range : 8.5 to 9.5V Be sure to check the polarities of the power source before turning on the external DC power supply.
11. Function setting and changes When changing the function settings , perform the work with thorough care. Be sure to use anti-static measures such as a grounding band. Also observe safety precautions when soldering to avoid burn and fire hazards. Hitachi Denshi assumes on liability for damage or injury resulting from such work.
11-2 Gamma response The factory setting is gamma on. If necessary , the gamma response can be changed as follows. Change the gamma response by changing the chip part. Gamma( )response 0 : Part code Description Location of chip capacitors (Main board side B) BE-IR30 / 31 11.
11-3 Auto electronic shutter on / off Factory setting for auto electronic shutter is off. If necessary , it can be set to on. Absent the R259 , R260 chip to set the auto electronic shutter to on. Auto electronic shutter 0 : Part code Description Location of chip resistors (Main board side B)
11-4 Changes to fixed shutter mode The fixed shutter mode can be changed by replacing the chip parts indicated below. Mode R259 R260 Normal mode Auto electronic Remove Remove Absent shutter mode 1/100 Remove CCIR 1/120 ↑ ↑ 1/250 ↑ ↑...
