Caution
231S2.
The WAT-231S2 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-231S2 with any monitor using a
video/power single transmission terminal. The WAT-231S2 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.

•
sunlight.
Sunlight shinning directly onto the WAT-231S2 lens can cause
damage to the CCD.
Select a stable place for installation of the WAT-231S2.
•
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-231S2 with the cables connected.
•
Before moving the WAT-231S2, always remove the video
cable and power cable from the rear of the camera first.
Avoid using the WAT-231S2 near any strong electro-
•
magnetic field.
After installing into main equipment, if the WAT-231S2 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-231S2 and the peripheral equipment is
turned off before making any connections.
2) Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-231S2 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-
231S2 when an auto-iris lens is being used.
4) Connect ⑩VIDEO OUT on the WAT-231S2 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 ⑩VIDEO OUT.
※Select a monitor with the same television system as the WAT-231S2
NTSC or PAL. A monitor with more than 600TV lines is recommended.

5) Insert the power plug of the power adaptor to ⑫POWER IN on the back
panel of the WAT-231S2. 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-231S2, 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
