PREFACE  
Panasonic's GP-US522/532 Industrial Digital Signal  
Processing Color 3-CCD Camera overcomes space limita-  
tions that have complicated many video applications.  
The GP-US522/532 incorporates Three 380 000-pixels (768  
(H) x 494 (V)) Interline Transfer CCDs to give you a remark-  
able 800 lines (750 lines for GP-US532) of horizontal reso-  
lution and a S/N ratio is 62 dB. This means a color picture  
with high visual information content, for excellent image  
detail.  
Because it features digital signal processing, the GP-  
US522/532 provides an exceptionally stable picture.

PRECAUTIONS  
1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera or  
camera control unit.  
8. Clean the faceplate with care.  
Do not clean the faceplate with strong or abrasive  
detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applica-  
tor and ethanol.  
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or  
covers.  
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.  
Ask a qualified service person for servicing.  
9. Put the lens cap on the camera after using the  
camera.  
2. Handle the camera and the camera control unit with  
care.  
After using the camera, turn the power of the camera  
control unit off, and put the lens cap on the camera  
head.  
Do not abuse the camera and the camera control unit.  
Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera could be dam-  
aged by improper handling or storage.  
10. Do not connect units other than the camera head to  
the GP-US522CUA camera control unit.  
3. Do not expose the camera or camera control unit to  
rain or moisture, or try to operate it in wet areas.  
Turn the power off immediately and ask a qualified ser-  
vice person for servicing. Moisture can damage the  
camera and the camera control unit, and also create  
the danger of electric shock.  
Other connections may result in improper operation.  
11. Do not operate the camera and the camera control  
unit beyond the specified temperature, humidity, or  
power source ratings.  
Use the camera and the camera control unit under con-  
ditions where temperature is between 0°C - +45°C  
(32°F - 113°F), and humidity is below 90%. The input  
power resource is 12 V DC.  
4. Do not drop anything inside the camera or camera  
control unit.  
Dropping a metal part for example inside the camera  
and camera control unit could permanently damage  
the unit.  
12. Ask a qualified service person for installation.  
All necessary procedures with regards to installation of  
this product should be made by qualified service per-  
son or system installer.  
5. Do not crush or pinch the camera cable.  
Avoid tight bends in the camera cable.  
Cautions  
6. Never face the camera toward the sun.  
Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether the  
camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun or other  
extremely bright objects. Otherwise, blooming or smear  
may be caused.  
1. Connecting or disconnecting the camera cable  
to/from the camera control unit or camera head  
must be done after turning off the power of the  
camera control unit.  
2. Use GP-CA522/4 (4 m/13 ft) camera cable only  
for connection between the camera head and  
camera control unit. Do not extend the cable.  
7. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when  
cleaning the camera or the camera control unit  
body.  
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera or the camera con-  
trol unit when dirty.  
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent  
and wipe gently.

3. Connect the power cable between the DC 12 V input  
terminals and the 12 V DC power supply unit (obtained  
locally).  
• The maximum cable length between camera control  
unit and power supply unit is calculated as follows:  
3. Connect the power cable between the DC 12 V input  
terminals and the 12V DC power supply unit (obtained  
locally).  
11.5 V DC < VA - (R x 0.42 x L) < 16 V DC  
L : Cable length (meter)  
Cautions :  
R : Resistance of copper wire (/meter)  
1. Connect to 12 V DC (11.5 V - 16 V) class 2 power  
supply only.  
VA  
: DC output voltage of power supply unit  
2. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL  
listed wire VW-1, Style 1007 cable for 12 V DC  
input terminals.  
L standard = VA - 12 / 0.42 x R (meter)  
L minimum = VA - 16 / 0.42 x R (meter)  
L maximum = VA - 11.5 / 0.42 x R (meter)  
Cautions :  
1. Connect to 12 V DC (11.5 V - 16 V) class 2 power  
supply only.  
2. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL  
listed wire VW-1, Style 1007 cable for 12 V DC  
input terminals.

Mounting the Lens  
Caution :  
Keep the POWER ON/OFF switch of the camera con-  
trol unit in the OFF position throughout the installation.  
Lens Mount  
1. Remove the front cap of the camera head and confirm  
that the surface of the optical filter of the camera head  
is clean.  
If the surface of the optical filter is dirty clean it with a  
blower brush which is for film camera lenses (available  
at your local camera store).  
2. Mount the C-mount lens by turning it clockwise onto  
the lens mount of the camera head.  
Cautions:  
• Do not use any lens which has more than 1/8"  
(3.5mm) of protrusion for lens mounting. (GP-  
US522)  
• Do not open the lens iris wider than the F2.8 stops.  
(GP-US522)  
• Do not open the lens iris wider than the F2.2 stops.  
(GP-US532)  
Special C-mount:  
Less than 1/8”  
(Less than 3.5mm)

Smear  
When the camera is aimed towards spotlights or other  
bright lights or light reflecting objects, smear or blooming  
may appear.

blooming.
