Before You Use the Product 13 ENGLISH Installing the Product (Installation) • Distance between tapped holes: 114 mm (4.49 in.) • Tapped hole diameter: 6 mm (0.24 in.) • Mounting plate thickness: 1 mm (0.04 in.) Install the camera securely. ●When installing the camera on the ceiling, contact your Canon dealer. ●When installing the camera on the ceiling, check that the ceiling is strong enough to bear the weight of the camera including the installation bracket. Installation in a weak location could result in the camera falling and causing serious injury. ●At least once a year, check for looseness in the camera installation mount. (If the optional wide-angle converter is used, check the converter mount also.) * The Wide-angle Converter WL-37 cannot be used on the VC-C50iR. aWARNING Using a Tripod The screw mount for a tripod is located in the center of the underside of the camera. The permissible camera installation angles are ±20° from the horizontal. (±15° when the optional wide-angle converter is used.) NOTE Less than 6.0 mm (0.24 in.) Mounting screw30 mm (1.18 in.) or wider●Do not overtighten the mounting screw. If excessive force is used to tighten the mounting screw, camera head movement may be impeded, or other malfunctions may result. ●Always use a tripod mounting screw that is less than 6.0 mm (0.24 in.) in length. The use of screws 6.0 mm (0.24 in.) long or longer could damage the camera. Also, the tripod seat used should be at least 30 mm (1.18 in.) in diameter. NOTE Mounting plate ScrewVC-C50iR Screw VC-C50i Installation Install in a flat and stable location.VC-C50iR Installation Firmly tighten the 2 screws (not supplied).
Before You Use the Product 14 Using the Wide-angle Converter The optional Wide-angle Converter WL-37 can be used to provide wide-angle shots (approx. 0.74× the normal focal distance). Mount the wide-angle converter correctly so that it is level and fitted securely onto the camera. When mounted correctly, the wide-angle converter should turn roughly 3 times before stopping. Connecting the Components Wide-angle Converter The Wide-angle Converter WL-37 cannot be used on the VC-C50iR. If the converter is used on the VC-C50iR, the mount will gradually loosen and the converter will fall off the camera. aWARNING ●The camera may not operate correctly if a wide-angle converter other than the WL-37 is used. ●The permissible range of camera installation angles with the wide-angle converter mounted on the camera is ±15° from the horizontal. ●The wide-angle converter cannot be used in night mode.

Before You Use the Product 15 ENGLISH Attaching the Multiconnector to the Camera 1. Raise the levers on each side of the multiconnector plug. 2. Push the multiconnector plug into the multiconnector socket. 3. Push the multiconnector plug in fully. ■The multiconnector plug is locked into the socket on the rear of the camera. Connecting to the Multiconnector Use the procedure below to plug leads (AWG No.28-18) into the multiconnector plug. 1. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver all the way into the slot next to the lead fastening hole. ■The inside of the lead fastening hole opens. 2. With the screwdriver still inserted, push the end of the lead into the lead fastening hole. 3. Holding the lead securely so that it does not come out of the lead fastening hole, pull out the screwdriver. ■The lead is secured inside the lead fastening hole. Use the same procedure to connect all the required leads. Lead To remove the multiconnector, push the levers on both sides downwards at the same time. A10 B1B10 A10 B1B10 A10 B1B10

The negative terminal is connected to the camera’s own internal ground and the positive terminal is pulled up to 5 volts at 10 kohm via a protection diode. Connecting the respective leads to the positive and negative terminals and then shorting across the terminals (ON) or not (OFF) generates an interrupt for the internal controller. The power supplies and grounds for connected sensors and switches should be connected to electrically segregated terminals. When an ON state is detected, an event occurrence is posted to the host PC. External device output terminals These comprise ON and OFF terminals for the alarm and light terminals, with equivalent terminals in both directions for the respective combinations. The two terminals can be switched between conductive and resistive states using the internal controller. In addition, an optical connector is used in the output terminal and is separate from the internal circuits in the camera. The load connected to the output terminal should be within the following ratings: Rated values between output terminals Max.

Before You Use the Product 18 Turning the Power ON and OFF The VC-C50i/VC-C50iR camera does not have a power switch. You can switch the camera on by plugging the AC adapter into a wall outlet. When power to the camera is switched on, the LED on the camera turns green. If the monitor is switched on, an image appears on the screen. Monitor Camera AC adapter to AC outlet AC cable ●Whenever you turn the camera on, the first use of the PC or wireless controller to control the camera initializes the camera head position. (Initialization takes several seconds.) The LED on the camera flashes green (at 1-second intervals) during initialization. ●Never touch the camera head during initialization. This could prevent successful initialization and cause faults. ●Wait at least five seconds before turning the power back on after shutting it off. Turning it on too quickly may result in a malfunction. Observe the precautions given in “a Safe Use of Equipment/a IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” (→ P.7–9).

19 ENGLISH Controlling the Camera from the Wireless Controller The Wireless Controller WL-V5 is optional. While the wireless controller buttons are being used, the LED on the camera blinks green (at 0.1-second intervals). Nomenclature Whenever possible, switch the camera off when it is not in use (→ P.26) as this reduces power consumption. If the camera will not be used for an extended period, unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet (→ P.18). If you turn the power off, the date and time will be cleared.

When the cameras are switched off, pressing this button begins individual camera control. Battery cover See P.20 for information on loading the batteries.
20 Controlling the Camera from the Wireless Controller The wireless controller requires two AA-type batteries. 1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Insert the batteries. ■Taking care that the poles (+ and –) are correctly positioned. 3. Replace the battery cover. Operable Range of the Wireless Controller Use the wireless controller within the range described below, facing it toward the sensor for the wireless controller. The operable range of the wireless controller varies depending on the amount of charge remaining in the batteries and interference from other objects. (This applies equally to the VC-C50iR.) Loading the Batteries into the Wireless Controller Observe the following precautions when handling batteries. Failure to do so could result in the batteries bursting or emitting heat, sparks or corrosive fluid. ●Do not throw the batteries into a fire, and do not heat, short-circuit or attempt to disassemble the batteries. ●Do not attempt to recharge the batteries. aWARNING 90°(16.4 ft.) 30°5 m 30°90°
