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. When you use it outdoors, be sure  
to use a housing or the like.  
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.  
• When the ambient temperature rises  
above or falls below the acceptable  
range (from –10°C to 50°C).  
• Near a source of radiation, X-rays,  
strong radio waves or magnetism.  
• In a place subject to vibration.  
Observe the following when carrying out  
camera maintenance.  
Turn the power OFF before proceeding  
A DSP (Digital Signal Processor) features  
a Extended Dynamic Range (ExDR) and  
enables to shoot both bright and dark  
locations.  
Before starting an important recording,  
be sure to perform a test recording in  
order to confirm that a normal  
recording is possible.  
to carry out maintenance.  
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.  
The unit is to be powered by a DC 12 V  
or an AC 24 V power supply. (TK-C1430E)  
The AC 24V power supply should conform  
to the following: Isolated power supply  
only  
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 where  
it is dropped because of bad installation  
due to failure to observe the installation  
instructions correctly.Please be careful  
when installing the camera.  
The use of a CCD with a SENSE UP (X32)  
function realized the minimum luminous  
flux density for subject of 0.9 lx (F1.2,  
50%, AGC 20dB) and 0.03 lx (at SENSE  
UP (X32)).Furthermore, we realized 0.03  
lx (F1.2, 50% AGC 20dB) thanks to the  
function of B/W mode.  
TK-C1431EG: Connect the power cable to  
the commercial power supply of 220V –  
240V.  
A motion detector function detects the  
motion inside an image and emits alarm  
signals.  
The motion detector is not a feature  
which prevents theft, fire, etc. Even if  
an accident should occur resulting in  
damage, we do not accept any liability.  
• In a place with excessive dirt.  
Caution for operating the video iris lens.  
If the video iris lens is set to an extremely  
low level, a malfunction – such as the  
hunting phenomenon where the iris opens  
and closes in voluntary – can occur.  
In such a case, first set the “LEVEL”  
potentiometer on the lens to the H position  
(iris open), and then adjust it to an optimum  
level. (page 20)  
The cable stopper on the terminal block  
can come off sometimes. Therefore, be  
sure to take enough time and fix the cable  
securely.  
When a highly bright subject is shot,  
sometimes undulations can be observed  
on the vertical lines of the subject.  
However, this phenomenon is peculiar to  
the unit and is not a sign of malfunction.  
The beat may sometimes appear on the  
screen if gain is raised when the line lock  
is in use, but the phenomenon takes place  
due to the fluctuation of power frequency  
and is not a malfunction.  
You may hear some noise when the  
screen is switched between the colour  
and the black and white mode, because  
the optical filter moves. Also, black vertical  
bands will appear on the screen.  
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 colours 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. However, this is not a  
malfunction.  
While the AGC is activated, if transceiver  
which causes strong electromagnetic  
wave is at close distance, picture might  
suffer from beat.  
So please use the camera more than three  
meters from such transceivers.  
When this camera is used in the ATW  
mode, the recorded colours may be slightly  
different from the actual colours due to the  
operational principles of the auto-tracking  
white balance circuit. However, this is not  
a malfunction.  
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.  
The equipped Y/C terminals and RS-  
422A/RS-485 terminals allow intended  
compatibility with diversified systems.  
Day/Night surveillance  
When the light is low, the camera pictures  
can be switched automatically to black  
and white pictures.  
Electronic zoom  
The 10x electronic zoom allows  
monitoring in far greater detail.
