Caution
250D.
The WAT-250D 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-250D with any monitor using a
video/power single transmission terminal. The WAT-250D 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-250D in a position subject to direct
•
sunlight.
Sunlight shinning directly onto the WAT-250D lens can cause
damage to the CCD.
Select a stable place for installation of the WAT-250D.
•
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-250D with the cables connected.
•
Before moving the WAT-250D, always remove the video cable
and power cable from the rear of the camera first.
Avoid using the WAT-250D near any strong
•
electromagnetic field.
After installing into main equipment, if the WAT-250D 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-250D,
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-250D
•
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-250D by mistake
Anything unusual occurring to any equipment connected to the WAT-250D
•
Disconnect the camera immediately according to the following
procedures:
①Switch off the main power supply to the camera.
②Remove the power and video cables connected to the WAT-250D.
③Contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-250D was
purchased.

Power Supply
If any other power adaptor besides the AD901-120/230 is used, please use
a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12V±10%, with a current
capacity of more than 250mA.
Use the optional DC plug if the shape or polarity of the DC plug of the power
adaptor to be used is not compatible with the camera (See the drawing on
the right).
Warning Caution
The wiring on the connector must be exact.
Be careful no to touch the other terminal while wiring.
Protect the wiring portion by using insulation tape after
wiring. If the above care and attention is not adhered to,
damage to the WAT-250D and power adaptor may
occur and may also cause fire.

Set-up and Operation
1) Ensure that the power to the WAT-250D and the peripheral equipment
is turned off before making any connections.
2) Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-250D and attach the
CS-mount lens. Use the optional C-mount adaptor(30CMA-R) when a
C-mount lens is used.
3) Connect the iris control cable to ⑤AUTO-IRIS SOCKET on the WAT-
250D when an auto-iris lens is being used.
4) Connect ⑧VIDEO OUT on the WAT-250D with the monitor, using a
coaxial cable with 75Ω impedance, such as an RG-58/U or an RG-6/U.
Select a monitor with the same television system as the WAT-250D:
NTSC or PAL. A monitor with more than 500TV lines is recommended.
5) Insert the power plug of the power adaptor to ⑪POWER IN on the back
panel of the WAT-250D. Confirm that the power adaptor is not connected
to the power supply before insertion of the power plug into ⑪POWER
IN.
6) Turn on the power to the WAT-250D, monitor and all other allied
equipment. When a picture cannot be obtained on the monitor, 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 ④FOCUSING 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

on the lens.
Video Auto-iris Lens Adjust the focus on the lens.
Adjust the iris level on the camera, then
DC Auto-iris Lens
adjust the focus on the lens. See below.
Iris Level Adjustment (for DC auto-iris lenses only)
Adjust ③IRIS LEVEL VOLUME placed on the side
of the unit until an acceptable light level is attained.
No change will occur if a video iris lens or manual
iris lens is fitted.
8) Select any required shutter speed mode by the ⑦AE MODE
CONTROL.
AE Mode
Automatically selects the shutter speed in the range
EI between NTSC1/60-1/100000, PAL1/50-1/100000
according to the lighting condition.
Reduces the flickering phenomena occurring on the
FL
monitor screen caused by fluorescent or mercury lamps.
OFF Fixes the shutter speed to NTSC1/60, PAL1/50.
※In EI mode, intense light may leave a trail on the screen longitude.
This smearing is a natural phenomenon and is not due to equipment
failure or fault.
9) Adjust the required white balance settings by the ⑨WHITE BALANCE
or ⑩PUSH-LOCK WHITE BALANCE.
