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.

Set-up and Operation
1) Ensure that the power to the WAT-232S and the peripheral equipment is
turned off before making any connections.
2) Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-232S and attach the CS-mount
lens. Use the optional C-mount adaptor(34CMA-R) when a
C-mount lens is used.
3) Connect the iris control cable to ⑤AUTO-IRIS SOCKET on the WAT-232S
when an auto-iris lens is being used.
4) Connect ⑦VIDEO OUT on the WAT-232S with the monitor, using a coaxial
cable with 75Ω impedance, such as an RG-58/U or an RG-6/U. If the monitor
has an S-terminal, high resolution imaging is possible by connecting with ⑩
Y/C OUT.
※The ⑩Y/C OUT can be used together with the ⑦VIDEO OUT.
※Select a monitor with the same television system as the WAT-232S NTSC
or PAL. A monitor with more than 500TV lines is recommended.
5) Insert the power plug of the power adaptor into ⑫POWER IN on the back
panel of the WAT-232S. Confirm that the power adaptor is not connected to
the power supply before insertion of the power plug into ⑫POWER IN.
6) Turn on the power to the WAT-232S, monitor and all other allied equipment.
When a picture cannot be obtained on the monitor, or a problem occurs,
check and follow the procedure mentioned in the【Problems and Trouble
Shooting】section.
7) After following the procedure below and the picture is still out of focus, open
the iris fully and loosen ④FINE FOCUSING ADJUSTMENT SCREWS with
the hex. wrench and move the lens forwards until a clear picture is obtained.
Adjust the focus and iris to the best position
