MOUNTING
1. Lens Mounting
AW-E750, AW-E655, AW-E650
• Use the lens extension cable AW-CA12T12A
(6”/15 cm) if your lens cable is too short.
Rotate the lens fixing ring knob counterclockwise
and remove the lens mount cap. Mount the lens on
the camera and rotate the lens fixing ring knob
clockwise in order to fix the lens securely. Connect
the camera cable to the IRIS connector on the back
panel of the camera.AW-E350
• A 1/3-inch C mount type of lens can be used.
Be absolutely sure that a lens whose mount
threads extend no more than 4.3 mm from the lens
mount surface is used. Use of any other kind of
lens may damage the camera unit.
• Some lenses need to be attached in a different
way. Therefore, reference should also be made to
the operating instructions that accompany the
lens.
Remove the lens mount cap, align the lens with the
thread ridges on the lens mount and screw it
securely into place.
Connect the lens cable to the IRIS connector.

Operating Instructions to fix the camera firmly in position.
In addition, link the camera to the pan/tilt head using the
safety chain and the mounting screws to help ensure the
camera does not fall.
OWhen attaching the camera on any mounting or other
pan/tilt head, check that the mounting can safely bear the
total weight of the camera, lens, connection cables, etc., fix
the camera firmly in position using the prescribed tool, and
