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-525EX/535EX and power adaptor
may occur and may also cause fire.

Set-up and Operation
1) Ensure that the power to the WAT-525EX/535EX and the peripheral
equipment is turned off before making any connections.
2) Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-525EX/535EX 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-
525EX/535EX when an auto-iris lens is being used.
4) Connect ⑦VIDEO OUT on the WAT-525EX/535EX 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-525EX/535EX: EIA or CCIR. A monitor with more than 600TV lines
is recommended.
5) Insert the power plug of the power adaptor to ⑧POWER IN on the back
panel of the WAT-525EX/535EX. Confirm that the power adaptor is not
connected before insertion of the power plug into ⑧POWER IN.
6) Turn on the power to the WAT-525EX/535EX, 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.
Manual Lens Adjust the focus and iris to the best position.
Video Auto-iris Lens Adjust the focus on the lens.
DC Auto-iris Lens Adjust the iris level, then focus. See below.
Iris Level Adjustment (for DC auto-iris lenses only)
Adjust ③IRIS LEVEL VOLUME placed on the side of
the unit until the object comes to be optimally bright.
No change will occur if a video iris lens or manual iris
lens is fitted.
8) Remove the camera casing and select any required shutter speed by the
⑪AE MODE CONTROL to one of its 10 positions. (Shutter mode is set
to 9 (OFF) upon shipment.)
