2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TOA C-CV454 series are outdoor Day/Night cameras equipped with a 1/3" CCD.
A lineup of cameras with three types of lenses, Wide, Standard, and Tele allows accurate monitoring over a
wide range from near to distant subjects depending on the installation location.
Noise reduction function enables clear image to be viewed in lower noise under poor lighting conditions.
It functions as a color camera in the daytime and as a high-sensitivity monochrome camera in darkness,
making it ideal for installation in locations that require around-the-clock monitoring.
Its dust-proof and waterproof (IP66) construction permits it to be mounted to an outdoor wall or ceiling without
using a special device.
Angle of the camera unit can be adjusted freely regardless of installation location, allowing a wider area to be
viewed.
The C-CV454 series' power is supplied from 24 V AC or 12 V DC external power source.
3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Do not direct the camera lens to the sun, strong lighting, or reflected light. If strong light enters the lens, this
may cause the CCD's internal color filter to deteriorate, leading to image discoloration.
• Do not give the camera a great shock or vibration to avoid camera damage.
• It is recommended that the camera be always used in locations where the ambient temperature ranges from
-10°C to +50°C and humidity levels of less than 90% to ensure that no condensation is formed.
• To clean, wipe with a dry soft cloth. Never use benzene, thinner or chemically processed towel as the
camera's plastic or other parts may be deformed or discolored.
• When dust has settled on the camera's lens, lightly clean using a commercial camera blower or cleaning
paper.
• Installing the camera cables in close proximity to fluorescent lamps or other electrical appliances can
downgrade the picture quality. In such cases, change the wiring.
• If there is a strong electric or magnetic field near the camera, such as television transmission antennas,
motors or transformers, this may distort or roll the monitor picture. In such cases, run the entire wiring route
through metal conduit tubing.
• When using an optional microphone unit, avoid installing it near air-conditioner outlet vents or in such high-
noise.
• When the camera shoots a subject projected by an infrared illuminator in a dark place, its mode may
frequently switch between color and black-and-white. This is due to intensive light from the infrared
illuminator. In such cases, change the illuminator’s projection angle to reduce the amount of light on the
subject.
• When operating on 12 V DC, use the external power supply rated at 12 V DC and over 1.0 A.

6. Adjust the camera's angle of view.
Adjust the angle of view with the Zoom ring and 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 switch to the OFF position, then adjust the
control to an optimum level. After adjustment, cover the lens with your hand for several seconds and then
release to check the lens for correct iris operation.
• If the focus is adjusted when the subject is bright, the subject may go out of focus when it grows 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 the camera shoots a subject projected by an infrared illuminator in a dark place, its mode may
frequently switch between color and black-and-white.
This is due to excessively strong light from the infrared illuminator. In such cases, change the illuminator’s
projection angle to reduce the amount of light on the subject.
• Turning the Iris control toward the "L" position may cause the camera not to switch to black-and-white
mode smoothly.

7. After completing all the adjustments, disconnect the cable connected to the monitor output terminal in Step 2.
8. Tighten both the camera mounting and bracket mounting bolts, then replace the front cover.
Note: If the front cover is not secured enough, waterproof effect is reduced, causing unit failure.
9. Insert the sunshade from the front side of the camera unit as shown below, then secure it with two
sunshade fixing screws.
