WAT-241.
The WAT-241 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-241 with any monitor using a
video/power single transmission terminal. The WAT-241
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.

•
direct sunlight.
Sunlight shinning directly onto the WAT-241 lens can
cause damage to the CCD.
Select a stable place for installation of the WAT-241.
•
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-241 with the cables connected.
•
Before moving the WAT-241, always remove the video
cable and power cable from the rear of the camera first.
Avoid using the WAT-241 near any strong electro-
•
magnetic field.
After installing into main equipment, if the WAT-241 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-241,
An optimal picture cannot be obtained, after checking that all the

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 below).
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-241 and power adaptor may occur and may
also cause fire.

Set-up and Operation
1) Ensure that the power to the WAT-241 and the peripheral
ii
equipment is turned off before making any connections.
2) Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-241 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-241 when an auto-iris lens is being used.
4) Connect ⑧VIDEO OUT on the WAT-241 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-241: NTSC or PAL. A monitor with more than 500TV lines is
recommended.
5) Insert the power plug of the power adaptor to ⑩POWER IN on the
back panel of the WAT-241. Confirm that the power adaptor is not
connected to the power supply before insertion of the power plug
into ⑩POWER IN.
6) Turn on the power to the WAT-241, 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 ④FOCUSING ADJUSTMENT
