Operation Manual
This Operation Manual covers safety, camera functions, installation and the
correct operating procedure for the WAT-232S. First, we ask you to read this
Operation Manual thoroughly, then install and operate the WAT-232S as advised.
In addition, for future reference, we also advise safekeeping of this manual.
Please contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-232S was
purchased, if you do not understand the installation, operation or safety
instructions laid out in this manual. Not understanding the contents of the
Operation Manual sufficiently may cause damage to the camera.
Guide to the Safety Symbols
The definitions of the symbols used in this operation manual are:
When you do not adhere to or take notice of the “Danger” sign, it
may lead to a serious accident such as death or injury caused by
fire or electric shock.
When you do not adhere to or take notice of the “Warning” sign, it
may cause severe damage such as a physical injury.
When you do not adhere to or take notice of the “Caution” sign, it
may incur injury and cause damage to peripheral objects in the
immediate surroundings.
Cautions for Safety
The WAT-232S is designed to be used safely; however, if not used safely, it may
lead to a physical accident caused by fire and electric shock. Therefore, please
keep and read the “Cautions for safety” for protection against accidents.
•
Do not disassemble and/or modify the WAT-232S.
•
Do not operate the WAT-232S with wet hands.
•
Use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12V
±
±
±
±
10%,
with a current capacity of more than 250mA for the WAT-232S
The recommended voltage is DC+12V
±
10%.
•
Do not expose the WAT-232S to wetness or high moisture
conditions.
The WAT-232S is designed and approved for indoor use only. The
WAT-232S is not water-resistant or waterproof. If the location of
the camera is outdoors or in an outdoor like environment, we
recommend that you use an outdoor camera housing.
•
Protect the WAT-232S from condensation.
Keep the WAT-232S dry at all times during storage and operation.
•
Should the camera not work properly, switch off the power
immediately. Then check the camera according to the “Problems
and Trouble shooting” section.
•
Avoid the striking of hard objects or dropping the WAT-
232S.
The WAT-232S uses high quality electrical parts and precision
components.
•
Do not connect any power supply directly to the video out
terminal of the unit.
Do not connect the WAT-232S with any monitor using a
video/power single transmission terminal. The WAT-232S is not
designed for use with this type of equipment. We also advise you
to read the operation manual of the monitor you plan to use before
any connections are made.
•
Do not install the WAT-232S in a position subject to direct
sunlight.
Sunlight shinning directly onto the WAT-232S lens can cause
damage to the CCD.
•
Select a stable place for installation of the WAT-232S.
Use a support of durable strength around an installation position
on a ceiling or wall when a camera stand or tripod is used.
•
Do not move the WAT-232S with the cables connected.
Before moving the WAT-232S, always remove the video cable and
power cable from the rear of the camera first.
•
Avoid using the WAT-232S near any strong electromagnetic
field.
After installing into main equipment, if the WAT-232S is exposed to
electromagnetic waves causing the monitored image to become
distorted, we recommend the camera be shielded by appropriate
protective casing.
Problems and Trouble Shooting
If any of the following problems occur when using the WAT-232S,
•
An optimal picture cannot be obtained, after checking that all the cables and
connections are correctly in place
•
Smoke or any unusual odor emerges from the WAT-232S
•
An object becomes embedded or a quantity of liquid seeps into the camera
housing
•
More than the recommended voltage or/and amperage has been applied
to the WAT-232S by mistake
•
Anything unusual occurring to any equipment connected to the WAT-232S
Disconnect the camera immediately according to the following procedures:
①
Switch off the main power supply to the camera.
②
Remove the power and video cables connected to the WAT-232S.
③
Contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-232S was purchased.
About EMC
The WAT-232S is in conformity with EMC test standards carried out by
authorized organizations in Japan.
NTSC FCC Part15 class B
