February 4, 2000 TM-5LC Super-Miniature Cylindrical CCD Camera Operation Manual 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Product Description The PULNiX TM-5LC is a miniature monochrome shutter camera with automatic electronic exposure control. Designed for self-contained miniature camera applications, the TM-5LC provides a robust and low-cost solution for replacing remote-head cameras. The TM-5LC has a built-in automatic shutter (electronic iris or electronic exposure control) to provide a wide dynamic range.
INTRODUCTION infrared. It requires only 1.0 lux of minimum illumination and 0.5 lux minimum illumination at maximum gain. In general, such a low light camera allows use of a higher lens F-value and provides greater depth of field and sharper images. • High Resistance To Image Burning Since the CCD is highly resistant to image burning, the camera may be exposed to bright objects for a long period of time. It must be noted, however, that a “smear” phenomenon may occur when shooting a very bright object.
INTRODUCTION 1.4 TM-5LC System Configuration Figure 1 (below) presents a typical system configuration in which a display monitor or a computer with grabber board is used. FIGURE 1.
INSTALLATION 2 INSTALLATION The following instructions are provided to help you to set up your video camera system quickly and easily. It is suggested that you read through these instructions prior to unpacking and setting up your camera system. 2.1 Getting Started 2.1.1 Unpacking Instructions It is recommended that the original packing cartons for the cameras and lenses be saved in case there is a need to return or exchange an item.
INSTALLATION 2.2 Camera Setup 2.2.1 Power Cable The TM-5LC has a power cable with color-coded flying leads attached to the back of the camera (see Figure 3 in Appendix). The lead functions are as follows: Lead Color Yellow Gray White Coax Black Function +12V DC GND Video Out GND 2.2.2 Power Supply and Power Cable Setup 2.2.2 (a) Power Supplies PULNiX recommends the following power supplies: K25-12 110V AC/12V DC 2.1A power supply P-15-12 220V AC/12V DC 2.1A power supply K50-12 110V AC/12V DC 4.
INSTALLATION Note: The “K” series power supplies are designed primarily for OEM users who will be mounting the power supply inside a protective enclosure. For use in exposed situations, the PD-12 and PD-12U are recommended. 2.2.3 Attaching the Camera Lens The TM-5LC camera accepts a specialized miniature 1/4" format size Tamron lens mount. To attach the Tamron lens to the camera, carefully engage the threads and rotate the lens clockwise until it firmly seats on the mounting ring.
