Complete the following steps to connect a Varioptic liquid lens to the ISC-178x.
1.
Disconnect the power from the ISC-178x.
2.
If the lens cover is connected, unscrew the lens cover from the ISC-178x.
3.
If a plug is covering the liquid lens connector inside the lens housing, use non-conductive
tweezers to remove the plug.
4.
Connect the lens to the ISC-178x and screw it in firmly.
5.
The Varioptic liquid lens has two cables. Wrap the cable with the 6-pin connector tightly
around the liquid lens housing.
6.
Tuck the 3-pin connector and its branched wire into the folds of the longer cable. The 3-
pin connector is not used.
7.
Use non-conductive tweezers to plug the 6-pin connector of the Varioptic liquid lens into
the liquid lens connector on the ISC-178x. Once the connector is in place, use the
tweezers to press firmly on either side of the wires to ensure a good connection.
8.
Slide the lens cover over the lens and screw it into the ISC-178x housing until it is firmly
in place. The lens cover must be in place for IP67 conformity.
9.
Reconnect the power to the ISC-178x.
When the ISC-178x powers on with a compatible liquid lens connected, the lens will be
detected and the Lens Present attribute will indicate that a compatible lens is present. You can
adjust the focal point by using the Lens Focal Position Raw attribute.
