LENS  
The C10DN Series camera supports both manual and auto iris lenses, either fixed focal length or

The camera has a standard CS mount that can accept a C mount lens with a PCMA40 lens adapter.  
To mount the lens onto the camera:  
1. Make sure the lens does not touch the camera imager when installed.  
2. Use clean, compressed air or a clean, dry lens cloth to make sure there is no dust or other foreign  
matter between the lens and the camera imager.  
3. C mount lens: Screw the adapter onto the lens.  
4. Screw the lens onto the lens mount.  
5. Auto iris lens: Connect the 4-pin connector from the lens to the connector on the side of the  
camera.  
6. Perform the lens focusing procedure before using the lens (refer to Lens Focus).  
 
MOUNT  
The C10DN Series camera can be mounted from either the top or bottom, depending on the type of  
camera mount used in your installation. Use a standard 1/4-20 screw. The maximum thread depth is  
0.25 inches (6.4 mm).  
POWER  
Connect 12 VDC or 24 VAC power to the back of the camera using the supplied terminal block. Use a  
Class 2 isolated power source for the C10DN camera that can supply 12 VDC 15% or 24 VAC 15%,  
50/60 Hz. Maximum power consumption is approximately 3.5 W.  
C10DN-7X Camera Only  
The C10DN-7X camera uses a power main supply of 220 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz. This main supply must also  
have a minimum rating of 50 mA.  
CAUTION: Unplug the power cord during installation.

Connect a coaxial video cable to the BNC connector on the back of the camera.
