interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
WARNING:
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK , DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
For the customers in Canada
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
Pour la clientèle canadienne
Cet appareil numerique de la Classe B est conforme a la norme

PRECAUTIONS
In case of problem
Protect from humidity and dust
Do not use the camera if smoke or a strange odour comes from the
unit, or if it seems not to function correctly. Disconnect the power
cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized
Service Centre).
To prevent damages to the camera, do not install it where there is
greasy smoke or steam, where the dampness may get too high, or
where there is a lot of dust.
Protect from high temperatures
Do not open or modify
Do not install close to stoves, or other heat generating devices, such
as spotlights, etc., or where it could be subject to direct sunlight, as
that could cause deformation, discoloration or other damages.
Do not open the cabinet, as it may be dangerous and cause damage
to the unit. For internal settings and repairs, consult your dealer (or a
Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).
Be careful when installing close to the ceiling, in a kitchen or boiler
room, as the temperature may raise to high levels.
Do not put objects inside the unit
Install where the temperature range will stay between –10˚C and
50˚C.
(no condensation)
Make sure that no metal objects or flammable substance get inside
the camera. If used with a foreign object inside, it could cause a fire,
short-circuits or damages.
If water or a liquid gets inside the camera, disconnect the power cord
immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service
Centre). Be careful to protect the camera from rain, sea water, etc.
Cleaning
• Dirt can be removed from the cabinet by wiping it with a soft
cloth. To remove stains, wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a
soft detergent solution and wrung dry, then wipe dry with dry soft
cloth.
Be careful when handling the unit
To prevent damages, do not drop the camera or subject it to strong
shock or vibration.
• Do not use benzine, thinner or other chemical product on the
cabinet, as that may cause deformation and paint peeling. Before
using a chemical cloth, make sure to read all accompanying
instructions. Make sure that no plastic or rubber material comes in
contact with the cabinet for a long period of time, as that may
cause damage or paint peeling.
Install away from electric or magnetic fields
If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric motor,
transformer, audio speakers the magnetic field they generate will
distort the image.

These settings are for when using a 1/3 inch CS mount DC (without EE internal amplifier) type lens. However,
if due to installation conditions or environment the settings may need to be modified for best results (see
"SETTINGS"). To access the controls, remove the cover fixing screw, then remove the cover.

CONCERNING AUTO-IRIS LENSES
DC type auto-iris lens
VR301
A lens without amplifier circuit that operates only on a DC power source. In general, this type of lens is
referred to as DC type coil lens or DC type non-amplifier lens.
(Set the A.I. LENS switch to the DC position.)
DC
VIDEO
VIDEO type auto-iris lens
A. I.
LENS
A lens with amplifier circuit that operates on video signal and DC power source. In general, this type of lens is
referred to as EE amplifier type lens.
ALC and LEVEL volume level controls are available on the lens for iris adjustments.
(Set the A.I. LENS switch to the VIDEO position.)
Compatible auto-iris lenses
1/3 inch Sanyo DC type lens
VCL-CS8LY: Standard angle, f= 8 mm
VCL-CS4LY: Wide angle, f= 4 mm
VIDEO type lens
Standard angle, f= 9 mm
Telephoto angle, f= 12 mm
VCL-CS2LY: Ultra-wide angle, f= 2.8 mm
Greater telephoto angle, f= 16 mm
If using a VIDEO type auto-iris lens
• Set the ALC and LEVEL controls on the lens to adjust the iris. Normally the ALC volume should be turned
all the way to Av (Average).
• Depending on the type of lens used, the lens may not perform properly. In such a case, adjust the LEVEL
volume on the lens casing to correct.

Notes on the electronic shutter:
The automatic gain control can be turned HI or NORM
using the AGC switch 4 in the camera setup section.
• Using the high speed electronic shutter indoors with low lighting,
will give darker pictures. In such a case, add some lights to make
sure the lighting is sufficient. If the lighting is very bright, pay
attention to the light angle in order to avoid or minimize the
smear phenomenon effect.
HI: Auto gain control fuction on (+6 dB)
NORM: Auto gain control (normal gain)

• Use a manual or fixed iris lens and set the lens aperture to the
shortest F stop. Set the switch (1 – 3) to the up position.
Note: In the AGC switch position HI, noise may be noticed in dark
places of dimly lit objects. In the AGC switch position NORM,
the noise will be reduced, but the sensitivity will also be
reduced to half in this case.
• The electronic iris is suitable for normal indoor use. When the
switch (1 – 3) is set to the up position, do not use an auto-iris lens.
• If used under fluorescent light, the image may flicker. In such a
case, change to incandescent lighting or set the switch (1 – 3) to
the down position and use an auto-iris lens.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before taking the camera for repairs, please check below to make sure that the camera is used correctly. If it still does not perform correctly, please
consult your dealer or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre.
No picture on the monitor screen
• Is the power turned on to all connected devices? Is the voltage correct?
• Are all the signal connecting cables correctly connected?
• Is the lighting sufficient?
• Has the lens cap been removed?
• Is the lens type (DC or VIDEO) correctly selected?
Depending on the type of lens, the A. I. LENS switch must be set accordingly.
• Is the iris control correctly set?
The picture is not clear
• Is the monitor correctly adjusted?
• Is the flange-back position correctly set?
• Is the lens focus correctly adjusted?
• Are the lens surfaces clean?
If there is dust or finger prints on the lens, the image quality will deteriorate. To clean the lens use a soft cloth or a commercially available lens
cleaning set.
SERVICE
This camera is a precision instruments and if treated with care, will provide years of satisfactory performance. However, in the event of a problem,
the owner is advised not to attempt to make repairs or open the cabinet. Servicing should always be referred to your dealer or Sanyo Authorized
