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 of the connector must be exact.
Be careful not 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-232 and power adaptor may occur
and may also cause fire.

Use a lens with mechanical back that
is less than 5.5mm to the WAT-232.
Set-up and Operation
1) Ensure that the power to the WAT-232 and the peripheral equipment is
turned off before making any connections.
2) Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-232 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-
232 when an auto-iris lens is being used.
4) Connect ⑦VIDEO OUT on the WAT-232 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 ⑪Y/C OUT.
※The ⑪Y/C OUT can be used together with the ⑦VIDEO OUT.
※Select a monitor with the same television system as the WAT-232
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-232. Confirm that the power adaptor is not
connected to the power supply before insertion of the power plug into ⑫
POWER IN.
6) Turn on the power to the WAT-232, 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 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 the required shutter speed mode by the ⑧AE MODE CONTROL.
AE Mode Effect
Automatically selects the shutter speed in a 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.
(Fixes the shutter speed to NTSC1/100, PAL1/120)
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
