INSTALLATION
Lens Mounting
The CC3770 Series camera can use fixed iris, manual iris, auto iris, or direct drive lenses. Automatic day/night
operation is optimized for use with auto-iris lenses. Cameras are factory-set for CS-mount lenses, but are easily
adjusted for C-mount lenses.
1. C-Mount Lens Only - Loosen the two back focus locking screws. Rotate the back focus adjust-
ment ring fully counterclockwise before installing the C-mount lens (refer to the section on Back Focus
Adjustment).
2. Screw the lens onto the lens mount. Be careful to prevent dust from entering the space between the
lens and the CCD element. If necessary, use clean, compressed air to remove any foreign matter.
3. Auto Iris Lens Only - Connect the auto iris lens to the four-pin iris drive connector located on
the side of the camera. Pin connections for the iris drive connector are as follows.

Camera Mounting
Mounting points are provided on the top and bottom of the camera and are used to mount the camera on a
bracket or tripod. They are designed to accept standard photographic mounting bolts (1/4-inch UNC-20). The
mounting bracket must be capable of supporting the weight of the camera and its lens.
NOTE: Some installation codes dictate that the mounting bracket must be capable of supporting up to four
times the combined weight of the camera and lens.
Figure 3. Camera Mounting
CONNECTIONS
CC3770 Series cameras offer standard power and coax video connectors as well as an RJ45-10 connector that
combines low voltage power and video (coax or UTP). These cameras also have a service connector allowing
a video monitor to be connected locally to the camera using a composite video BNC cable.
Video Connections
To obtain a video output, connect a video coaxial cable terminated with a 75Ω BNC connector to the BNC
socket marked VIDEO OUT on the rear of the camera. Refer to Table A for the type of video coaxial cable to
use.
Table A. Video Coaxial Cable Requirements

Another way to transmit video is over unshielded twisted pair wiring through the RJ45-10 connector. Refer to
the RJ45-10 Connections section. When outputting composite video through the BNC or RJ45-10, do not send
UTP output to a passive UTP receiver. However it is acceptable to use an active UTP receiver for UTP output
in combination with the other video connections.
[ 8 ] Pelco Manual C2915M-E (08/05)
Power Connections
CC3770 Series cameras are available in AC high voltage and AC/DC low voltage types. The voltage required
to operate the camera is clearly marked on the rear panel of the camera. The green POWER LED on the rear
panel indicates that power is connected. Power low voltage cameras only from a UL Listed Class 2 isolated
power supply. Power consumption is 6 watts.
Mains Power Supply
Cameras that are intended to operate directly from the mains supply are fitted with a nondetachable power
supply cord. The voltage of operation is 110 to 240 VAC at 50/60Hz.
WARNING: Refer to the wiring instruction label attached to the supply cord. For instances
where the camera will be connected to a socket outlet, the camera should be connected to an
easily accessible socket outlet near to the camera. For instances where the camera will be
connected to the building installation, the building wiring should incorporate a readily accessible
disconnect device, with a contact separation greater than three millimeters. This device should be
fitted into the live conductor, if that is readily identifiable, or should be 2-pole. All installations shall
be carried out in accordance with the locally applicable installation rules.
WARNING: Fuse (F1) should only be replaced by one of equivalent type and rating
1A (T) HRC 250V
WARNING: This camera is a Class 2 device and therefore does not have an earth connection
in the power cord. The leakage current on these cameras is well within safe limits. However, it is
advisable to connect the coaxial or RJ45-10 cable from the camera to the receiving equipment
(such as a monitor or matrix) before applying power to the camera, so that this small leakage
current has a low resistance path to earth.
Low Voltage Power Supply
Cameras fitted with an automatic-switching low voltage power supply operate at 10.8 to 13.8 VDC (12 VDC
-10% +15%) or 20.4 to 27.6 VAC (24 VAC ±15%) at 50/60Hz. Connections and polarity are indicated above the
screw terminals on the rear panel.
Refer to Table B for the recommended wire gauge and wiring distances.
WARNING: When powering the camera via the screw terminals, ensure that the power
connections to the RJ45-10 connector are not used, and that any connections to the RJ45-10 are
not shorted together. The power supply must be a UL Listed Class 2 isolated type.
CAUTION: AC Operation Only - When wiring more than one camera to the same transformer,
connect the same side of the transformer to the same terminal on all cameras. Failure to connect
all of the cameras the same way will cause the cameras to be out of phase with each other and
may produce a vertical roll when switching between cameras.

Color/Black-White Switching
CC3770 Series cameras can switch between color and black-white operation automatically or via an external
switching device. By default, this switching will occur automatically. When the camera is powering up, it defaults
to black-white mode. After 10 seconds, the camera switches to color mode.
Automatic Color/Black-White Switching
The camera operates in color mode when the scene illumination is bright, and it will automatically switch to
black-white mode when the scene illumination is reduced for a set period of time. This time delay is incorporated
to prevent the camera from performing unwanted switching operations at times when the illumination of the
scene is temporarily changed (for example, vehicle headlights, broken cloud cover at sunrise and sunset, or
when used with a pan/tilt head that moves between scenes of varied illumination).
For automatic color/black-white switching, the AGC DIP switch must be set to On. The user can select the point
at which the camera switches from color to black-white operation using the Day/Night DIP switch. Refer to the
Switch Settings section.
Manual Color/Black-White Switching
The camera can be switched between color and black-white operation manually using an external switching
device. The remote switch should be connected to pins 4 and 7 of the RJ45-10 connector on the rear of the
camera and must be connected in parallel with a 10 kΩ resistor as shown in the figure below. The camera
detects that a 10 kΩ resistor has been connected between pins 4 and 7 of the RJ45-10 connector and disables
automatic color/black-white mode switching. The cable length must be no more than 1,000 feet (300 meters).
The cable must not contribute more than 300 Ω to the overall resistance of the circuit.
Figure 4. Color/Black-White Remote Switching Connection
Table C. Color/Black-White Manual Switching Modes
Resistance < 300 Ω
Resistance = 10 kΩ ±15%
Resistance > 15 kΩ
Switch closed - forces camera into black-white mode
Switch open - forces camera into color mode
No switch connected - camera uses automatic color/
black-white switching
CAUTION: When using IR lamps or when the scene is illuminated by a light source with high
IR content, manual color/black-white switching must be used to prevent the camera from oscillating
between color and black-white modes.
Pelco Manual C2915M-E (08/05)

RJ45-10 Connections
The RJ45-10 connector allows video (composite and twisted pair) and power connections to be made to the
camera using a single Cat5-style cable.
NOTE: The PCM150 camera mount is designed for the CC3770 Series camera. It comes with preconfigured
auxiliary connectors and cables as well as an easy-to-wire adapter plate.
Before installation, identify the RJ45-10 connector leads to be used. To create the connection you will need a
Cat5 cable with the appropriate number of pairs and an 8-way or 10-way RJ45-10 connector. You will also need
a crimping tool capable of cutting, stripping, and crimping RJ50 (10P10C) connectors.
Wire the cable and connectors according to Table D. (More information about wiring each pair of leads appears
in the text below the table.) Then plug the auxiliary connector into the camera.

The following instructions apply to 10-way connectors. When using an 8-way connector, refer to tables C and D.
Composite Video Out
Pins 2 and 3 provide a composite video output signal.
NOTE: The RJ45-10 composite video out is only intended to be used to route the video signal to a break-out
box where a conventional coaxial connection will be made.
[ 12 ] Pelco Manual C2915M-E (08/05)
To send composite video through the RJ45-10 connector:
1. Connect composite video out to pin 3.
2. Connect composite video ground to pin 2.
Manual Color/B-W Switch
The camera can be switched between color and black-white operation manually using an external switching
device. The remote switch should be connected to pin 4 and pin 7 and the switch must be connected in parallel
with a 10 kΩ resistor as shown in Figure 4. The cable length must be no more than 1,000 feet (300 meters).
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Pins 5 and 6 allow video to be transmitted over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring to equipment fitted with a
suitable receiver. Ensure that connection polarity is observed in relation to the connected twisted pair receiver.
To implement UTP, you must use 5-pair unshielded twisted cable, Cat5e, or an equivalent. The camera has a
built-in transmitter for UTP. However, you must provide a UTP receiver. Your maximum cable distance depends
on whether you install a passive or active receiver. When outputting composite video through the BNC or RJ45-
10, do not send UTP output to a passive UTP receiver. However it is acceptable to use an active UTP receiver
for UTP output in combination with the other video connections.
To send UTP video through the RJ45-10 connector:
1. Connect UTP+ video output to pin 6.
2. Connect UTP- video output to pin 5.
24 VAC/12 VDC Power Connection
Pins 8 and 9 allow connection to a power supply of 10.8 to 13.8 VDC (12 VDC -10% +15%) or 20.4 to 27.6 VAC
(24 VAC ±15%) at 50/60 Hz. Correct connections and polarity must be observed.
WARNING: When powering the camera via the RJ45-10 connector, ensure that the power
connections to the screw terminals on the rear of the camera are not used. The power supply
must be a UL Listed Class 2 isolated type.
Service Connection
The service connector allows a video monitor to be connected locally to the camera using a 2.5 mm plug to
composite video BNC cable.
Figure 6. Service Connector
NOTE: Inserting the plug into the service connector disconnects video from the composite BNC connector
on the rear panel of the camera.

CAMERA SETUP
Lens Setup and Focus Procedures
Video Drive or Direct Drive (DC) Auto Iris Lens
1. Set the ESC switch and AGC switch to OFF.
2. Adjust the lens for the optimum picture.
Video Drive - Refer to the lens instructions and adjust the lens for the optimum picture (video output
level of 1 V peak-to-peak).
Direct Drive - Use an appropriate screwdriver to turn the lens level potentiometer (refer to Figure 1) fully
clockwise. Next, slowly adjust the potentiometer counterclockwise until the optimum picture is obtained
(video output level of 1 V peak-to-peak).
3. Set the AGC switch to ON.
4. To focus, fully open the iris by covering the lens with a suitable neutral density (ND*) filter.
5. Select the scene to be viewed.
6. If the viewed scene is 6.5 feet (2 m) away or farther, set the lens focus to infinity (far).
7. Use the back focus adjustment ring (refer to the Back Focus Adjustment section) and focus on the
selected scene.
8. Remove the ND filter and set the lens focus as required.
Fixed Lens
1. Set the ESC switch and AGC switch to ON.
2. To focus, set the lens focus to infinity (far) and view an image greater than 6.5 feet (2 m) away.
3. Focus the image with the back focus adjustment ring (refer to the Back Focus Adjustment section).
4. Set the lens focus as required.
Manual Iris Lens (not to be used for automatic day/night operation)
1. Set the ESC switch and AGC switch to OFF.
2. To focus, open the iris fully and set the lens focus to infinity.
3. View an image greater than 6.5 feet (2 m) away.
4. Focus the image with the back focus adjustment ring (refer to the Back Focus Adjustment section).
5. Adjust the lens focus and set the iris for the best picture quality. The largest aperture gives the best light
sensitivity, the smallest aperture the greatest depth of field.
6. Set the ESC switch and AGC switch to ON.
Zoom Lens
1. Set the lens focus to infinity (far) and fully open the iris by covering the lens with a suitable neutral
density (ND*) filter.
2. Zoom out to the widest field of vision and view a distant object.
3. Adjust the back focus adjustment ring until the object is in focus (refer to the Back Focus Adjustment
section).
4. Next zoom fully in and adjust the lens focus until the object is again focused.
Repeat these steps until the full zoom range may be viewed with the minimum loss of focus.
Figure 7. AGC and ESC Switch Settings
(White indicates switch position)
*NOTE: For best results outdoors use an ND3 (neutral density) filter.
[ 14 ] Pelco Manual C2915M-E (08/05)
Back Focus Adjustment
Before adjusting the back focus on a CC3770 camera equipped with an auto-iris lens, apply an external ND 3.0
filter. Using this filter drives the lens to its most open position, reducing the depth of field to its worst-case
condition. The ND filter also attenuates the light levels so that the camera switches to night (black-white mode)
after a delay of about 10 seconds. Once the lens is wide open and the camera has switched to black-white
mode, the lens/camera combination can be critically focused to the scene. If this procedure is not followed, an
apparent focus shift may be encountered when the camera switches from day (color) mode to night (black/
white) mode.
The back focus adjustment is located at the front of the camera and is accessible from either side of the case.
To adjust the back focus:
1. Loosen the two back focus locking screws (one on each side).
2. Turn the back focus ring counterclockwise until the CCD sensor assembly is as far away from the back
of the lens as possible.
3. Switch the camera from day to night mode, then back to day mode.
4. Turn the back focus ring clockwise until focus is achieved. Confirm that focus is correct by switching
between day and night mode.
5. When the back focus adjustment is satisfactory, tighten the locking screws. Do not over-turn or force the
back focus adjustment ring.
NOTE: Always turn the back focus ring such that during focussing, the CCD sensor assembly is brought
towards the back of the lens (that is, clockwise). If the point of best-focus is passed, repeat the back focus
procedure from step 2.

BLC (Backlight Compensation) - Switch Setting 3
The BLC (Backlight Compensation) feature compensates for backlit scenes by
enhancing objects in the center of the scene that would previously have been in
silhouette. BLC will only function with a manual iris lens when the Electronic Shutter
Control feature is switched on. For direct drive and auto iris lenses, BLC will still func-
tion even though the Electronic Shutter Control feature is switched off. Choose between
the following settings:
ON - Enables the BLC mode.
OFF (Default setting) - Disables the BLC mode.
[ 16 ] Pelco Manual C2915M-E (08/05)
Flickerless - Switch Setting 4
The flickerless setting can reduce the flicker caused by certain lighting conditions. The
Electronic Shutter Control must be off for the correct operation of the flickerless function.
Choose between the following settings:
ON - Enables the Flickerless mode.
OFF (Default setting) - Disables the Flickerless mode.
INT/LL Synchronization Selection - Switch Setting 5
Line lock (LL) locks the frame rate to the power supply frequency. Eliminates vertical roll
caused by multiple cameras connected to the same switching device. Each camera
output is synchronized to the frequency of the power supply. Set the camera synchroni-
zation mode to one of the following:
INT - Disables line lock and cameras will synchronize internally. Regardless of the DIP
switch setting, cameras switch to this mode when a DC power supply is detected.
LL (Default setting) - Line locks frame rate of cameras.
White Balance - Switch Setting 6
Two white balance modes can be selected using this switch. For the majority of
applications, the AUTO setting will provide excellent color rendition and is the default
setting. However, there may be instances where it is necessary to set the white balance
manually. To do this, set the switch to MAN.
To adjust the white balance manually, position a white object in the camera’s field of
view. Once positioned, press and hold the WB Set button on the rear of the camera until
the white balance converges to give the correct rendition of white.
Day/Night - Switch Setting 7
Adjusts the light level at which the camera automatically switches between color and
black-white operation. Choose between the following settings:
DUSK (Default setting) - Camera switches between color and black-white operation at
higher light level.
DARK - Standard switching between color and black-white operation.

Camera Synchronization
When using more than one camera power supply, a brief vertical roll may occur on the monitor when a camera
view is switched. To eliminate this vertical roll, it is necessary for the cameras to be synchronized. If the cameras
are connected to certain Pelco matrix products, the cameras will automatically lock to the pulse signal that is
transmitted up-the-coax. If not, it will be necessary to synchronize manually.
Cameras can be line locked or synchronized internally. Select the preferred method using the INT/LL DIP
switch on the rear of the camera (refer to the Switch Settings section).
If a camera is connected to a DC power supply, the camera will switch to Internal (INT) mode, regardless of the
DIP switch setting.
Internal (INT) mode should be selected when a noisy AC power supply is being used.
It may be necessary to have two people in communication when line locking cameras: one person at the
camera and another person at the monitor to observe the vertical roll and the effect of any adjustments made at
the camera.
To line lock the cameras, do the following:
1. Set the INT/LL DIP switch to LL.
2. Choose a reference camera to which all other cameras will be phased.
3. Select a camera and synchronize it to the reference camera, using the advance and retard buttons on
the rear of the camera (refer to Figure 1) to adjust the point on the AC cycle at which the cameras trigger.
4. Each time an adjustment is made, switch back and forth between the camera you are adjusting and the
reference camera. Repeat this process as many times as necessary until the roll between the cameras is
no longer noticeable.
5. Adjust the phase of all other cameras by repeating steps 3 and 4. Always adjust to the reference camera
selected in step 2.
NOTE: The preferred method for camera phase adjustment is to use a dual trace oscilloscope to align the
vertical sync pulses of the reference camera to the selected camera or cameras.
