INSTALLATION
Cautions:
1. The installation should be made by qualified service personnel or system installers.
2. The connections should comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC 725-51).
3. ONLY CONNECT THIS TO A 24 V AC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY. Be sure to connect
the grounding lead to the GND terminal. (for WV-CP484)
4. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) for
the Input Terminal. (for WV-CP484)
5. Do not use a transformer larger than 10 VA. (for WV-CP484)
■ Connections
Notes:
• Before connecting the power cables, be sure to remove the protection screw for trans-
portation. Otherwise, the camera can be damaged.
• Firmly connect the power cord.
• When the camera is mounted on a pan/tilt table, the power cord should be long enough.
Otherwise, it may be unplugged from the camera.
• Connection of 120 V AC 60 Hz to WV-CP480
Plug the supplied power cord to the AC inlet of the
camera.
• Connection of 12 V DC/24 V AC 60 Hz to WV-CP484
12 V DC
Use the formula below to calculate the power cable and power supply. The voltage sup-
plied to the power terminals of the camera should be within 10.8 V DC and 16 V DC.

Caution for Mounting the Lens
Follow the directions shown in the figure for the
protrusion between a lens and the camera
body. This camera has a mount for use with the
CS-mount lens shipped from the factory.
Use the supplied C-mount adapter when using
the C-mount lens.
A lens less than 450 g {0.99 lbs} can be mount-
ed on the camera. If the lens is heavier, both
the lens and camera should be secured by the

Before Back-focus Adjustment
• Adjustment procedures vary depending on the lens. Refer to the instructions includ-
ed with the lens.
• Reset the back-focus by pressing the L and R buttons simultaneously on the cam-
era, and adjust the back-focus.
• Move the lens focus to the FAR-end when using a fixed-focal lens (lens focus
adjustable type), and adjust the back-focus.
For Adjusting the Focus
• It is recommended that you lower the lighting for the object to be as dim as possi-

AWG 22 - 28, single or stranded wire and near-infrared lights.
For Using General Vari-focal Lenses
1. Aim at the objects 10 meters away or more to adjust the back-focus.
2. For 8x and 10x class lenses, set the zoom to the WIDE-end and the focus to the
9 - 10 mm {3/8"}
FAR-end, and then adjust the back focus.
3. For 2x and 3x class lenses, set the zoom to the TELE-end and the focus to the FAR-
end, and then adjust the back focus.
4. Aim the camera at the targeted objects to place them in the center then coarsely
adjust the zoom angle and the focus of the lens. Finally, perform adjustment of the
back-focus in either ways of using ABF (automatically) or MANUAL-ADJ (manually).
Note: There may be lenses having an extended range in lens focus adjustment, except
Panasonic lenses. When using such a lens, set the lens focus back appropriately
from the applicable end position in the above step 2 and 3 depending on the lens,
and then perform back-focus adjustment. The back-focus will not be properly
adjusted if the lens focus is positioned into the extended range.

2. Light Control Mode Setting (ALC/ELC)
Select a light control mode depending on the lens type mounted. The default setting is ALC.
ALC↓: Is applicable to the auto iris lens. SUPER-D3 is available with this selection.
ELC↓: Is applicable to the fixed or manual iris lens.
Cautions:
1. Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an ALC lens because the ELC
control range is not wide enough under these conditions.
2. Use an ALC type lens if the following phenomena occur:
• Strong smear and/or blooming on highlighted objects such as a spotlight or sunlight
from windows.
• Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition variations.
3. If ELC is selected, SUPER-D3 and SHUTTER are not available and the white balance
mode is automatically set to ATW1 or ATW2 previously set.
4. If ELC is selected and a fixed iris lens is used, the focal depth becomes shallower
than with the use of an ALC lens. Therefore, the range of focus-to-object distance
