serious personal injury if ignored or mishandled.
• Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket.
Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling and causing personal injury.
• Do not install the unit outdoors since it is designed for indoor use. If installed outdoors, the aging of parts
causes the unit to fall down, possibly resulting in personal injury. Also, when it is exposed to rain, an electric
shock may result.
• Should any of the following irregularities be found during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect
the power supply cord from the AC outlet and contact your TOA dealer. Do not attempt to further use the unit
because a fire or electric shock may result.
• If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit.
• If water or a foreign object enters the unit.
• If the unit falls or the unit case breaks.
• If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of core or disconnection).
• If no image is displayed on the screen.
• Do not open nor modify the unit’s case to prevent a fire or electric shock because there are high voltage
components inside the unit. Refer all inspection, adjustment and repair work to the dealer from where the
unit was purchased.
• Do not insert or drop metal pieces or flammable materials into the unit’s ventilation slots as this may result in
fire or electric shock.
• Have the unit periodically checked by the dealer from where it was purchased. Should the unit or its mounts
corrode or structurally deteriorate, the unit could fall down, possibly resulting in personal injury.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The C-CV14-CS Color Camera is a high-resolution surveillance camera equipped with a 1/4” CCD. It is
designed to operate on 24V AC or 12V DC.The CS mount permits the optional lens that is the most
appropriate for each application to be selected.
3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Do not point the camera toward the sun or other strong lighting or reflected light.
• Avoid jarring or striking the camera, as the camera may fail.
• Install the camera in locations where the temperature range does not exceed –10°C to +50°C, and no dew
condensation is formed.
• To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzene, thinner or chemically-treated towel to avoid
damage to the camera’s finish.
• To clean the lens, use a camera blower or lightly wipe with lens cleaning paper.
• Picture quality may suffer if camera cables are wired close to other electrical equipment, such as fluorescent
lamps. In such cases, reroute the wiring.
• Monitor screen pictures may become distorted or roll if the camera is used in locations influenced by strong
electrical or magnetic fields from television transmission antennas, motors or transformers. In such cases,
install the cables inside sheet steel cable conduit.
• Use the external power supply unit of the following rating when the camera is operated on 12 V DC.
12 V DC, over 1.0 A

Notes
Under 5 mm
• To avoid damaging the internal sections of the camera's lens mount, be sure
that the lens flange is less than 5 mm thick as illustrated on the right.
• C-mount lenses must be used in conjunction with the Lens Mounting Adapter
CF-5 (optional).
Lens
• When used 1/3 type lens, an angle of view becomes narrow.
2. Mount the optional camera mounting bracket to a ceiling or wall.
Using an electrical box, fix the camera mounting bracket with its supplied screws. Run the coaxial cable
through the hole in the bracket.
3. Set the camera mounting bracket securely in the threaded hole in the camera mount rotating the bracket’s
pedestal.
Notes
• The camera mount can be mounted to both the top and bottom of the camera. Attach the bracket to either
side depending on installation conditions.
• Use the camera mount fixing screw to attach or detach the camera mount.
4. Set the camera orientation, and secure the camera.
After setting the camera orientation, rotate the lock lever to secure the camera.

7. ADJUSTMENT
1. Switch on the camera power after completing camera connections.
Power is supplied to the camera.
2. Normally,set the Shutter Speed switch to "1/60"(NTSC) or "1/50"(PAL) position.
Flickering of the picture may interfere with the view under fluorescent lamp in the area with power frequency
of 50 Hz(NTSC) or 1/60 Hz(PAL). In such cases, set the switch to "1/100"(NTSC) or "1/120"(PAL) position,
and the image free from flickering can be obtained.
Note
If the Shutter Speed switch of the Mode Setting switch is set to the ON position, sensitivity is reduced
compared to operation in the OFF position. When using the camera in a dark location, or where light flicker
is not an annoyance, set the switch to the OFF position.
3. Connect the monitor to the Video Output terminal to permit a picture to be viewed on the monitor.
4. Adjust the camera angle.
Loosen the camera mounting bracket’s lock lever to point the camera to the desired direction, then retighten
the lock lever to fix the camera securely.
5. Adjust the angle of view with the Zoom ring and adjust the focus with the Focus ring for the best possible
picture reproduction.
Notes
• Since the Iris control (for sensitivity adjustment) is factory-preset to an optimum position for general use,
avoid tampering with it in normal conditions. Turning the control unnecessarily could cause reduced
picture quality or equipment failure. When the Iris control needs to be readjusted to match a specific
subject, first set both the Adjustment switch and the Backlight Compensation switch of the Mode setting
switch to the OFF position, then adjust the control to an optimum level. After adjustment, place a hand
over the lens for several seconds and then release to check the lens for correct iris operation.
• If the focus is adjusted for a subject under good lighting conditions, the subject may go out of focus when
conditions become dark. To avoid this, adjust the lens focus after setting the Adjustment switch of the
Mode setting switch to the ON position. Be sure to switch it back to the OFF position after completing lens
adjustment.
• When a subject appears out of focus because it is closer than the lens’ minimum close-up distance,
adjust the focus as follows:
(Back focal length adjustment)
(1) Attach the lens.
(2) Loosen the Back focal length adjustment ring fixing screw.
(3) Rotate the Back focal length adjustment ring to set it to an optimum position.
(4) Retighten the Back focal length adjustment ring fixing screw.

8.1. Adjustment Switch
Set this switch when adjusting the lens focus.(Provides the same effect as when using the ND filter.)
OFF ON
Standard position :
Set to OFF after lens adjustment completion. Set to this position during normal use.
Adjustment position (during adjustment) :
OFF ON
Use this position when focusing the lens. If the focus is adjusted for a subject under
good lighting conditions, the subject may go out of focus when conditions become
dark. Set the Adjustment switch to ON only when performing focus adjustment.
Note: The color of the screen may periodically vary under fluorescent lighting when the
Adjustment switch is set to ON.
8.2. Backlight Compensation Switch
Set this switch so that the subject is not displayed in black when backlit.
OFF ON
Standard position :
Set to this position during normal use. Backlight Compensation function does not
operate when the switch is set to this position.
OFF ON
Backlight Compensation position (when backlit) :
This position prevents images from being displayed in black when the image is
backlit.
8.3. Shutter Speed Switch
Set this switch to the ON position when annoying screen image flicker is detected.
OFF ON
Standard position :
Set to this position during normal use.
Shutter Speed position :
OFF ON
Annoying screen flicker may result under fluorescent lighting in areas operating with a
power frequency of 50 Hz (NTSC) or 60 Hz (PAL). In such cases, set the Shutter
Speed switch to the ON position to permit a flicker-free picture to be viewed.
Note: If the Shutter Speed switch is set to the ON position, sensitivity is reduced compared
to operation in the OFF position. When using the camera in a dark location, or where
light flicker is not an annoyance, set the switch to the OFF position.
