Introduction
≥ When the AW-PB309 WEB card is installed in the AW-E300, 600 or 800A convertible camera, JPEG
compression is implemented for the camera’s images, the images are converted into IP packet data
after which they can be delivered over a network.
≥ The image quality and size can each be set to one of three levels.
≥ The images can be viewed by a personal computer using a regular browser which means that no
special plug-in software is required.
≥ By combining the convertible camera with the AW-PH350 indoor pan/tilt head, the pan/tilt head and
camera can be controlled over the network.
(A dedicated software cable is required. Contact your local dealer for details.)
Precautions for use
¥ Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cable!
Before connecting or disconnecting the cable, ensure that the power is turned off.
¥ Handle the card carefully!
Do not drop the card or subject it to strong shock or vibration. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.
¥ Use the card in locations with a low humidity and minimal dust.
Avoid locations with a high humidity or high dust concentrations where the internal mechanism is
more susceptible to damage.
¥ Use the card within the operating temperature range!
Avoid using the card at temperatures below 14eF (–10eC) or above 113eF (+45eC) since the picture
quality will deteriorate and/or the internal parts will be adversely affected.

Parts and their functions
1 RST: Initial reset switch
When this switch is held down for 3 or more seconds, the settings
can be reset to the factory settings.
It is capable of initializing the IP address and canceling the
password.
2 RDY: Ready LED
When this is lighted, it means that the card is operating normally. It
goes off during initialization, resetting and other such processes.
3 LINK/RX: Ethernet connection status display LED
This lights when the Ethernet connector is connected; it goes off
during data communication.
4 10BASE-T: Ethernet connector
This is used for the Ethernet (10Base-T) connection. Connect a
straight-type, UTP category 5 cable here.
5 RS232C: RS-232C serial control connector (EIA/TIA-232)
This connector is for serial control. It is connected to the pan/tilt
head when the camera and pan/tilt head (such as AW-PH350) are
to be controlled.

Before use
Since the WEB card is a device which is connected to a network, read through the following points to
ensure proper use.
1) The image updating interval is not a fixed one.
≥JPEG compression is implemented for the camera images at fixed intervals but the image updating
interval as seen from the terminal end via the network varies from one status to another.
≥If the network is congested, the image updating interval is lengthened.
≥Depending on the differences in the subjects, too, the file size for JPEG-compressed image differs,
and the image updating interval at the terminal end changes.
≥The volume of data transferred from the WEB card remains constant. This means that any
improvement in the image quality or increase in size will lengthen the image updating interval for the
images at the terminal end. Conversely, any decrease in the image quality or reduction in size will
shorten the interval.
2) The response time is not constant.
≥When the pan/tilt head and camera are controlled, the response time taken after operation until the
image actually changes is not constant because of differences in the network conditions.
≥Depending on the network conditions, the response may be significantly delayed.
3) Turning the WEB card’s power ON and OFF
≥If the WEB card’s power is turned OFF while checking an image on the browser, an error message
will not be displayed, and the image will be frozen.
≥When the WEB card’s power is turned back ON, the image may not be automatically updated,
therefore the data should always be re-loaded manually.
4) Effective image area in horizontal direction
≥When the camera’s video output is used as the reference, the left and right edges are marginally cut
off before JPEG compression is implemented.

Installation Ask your dealer to install the card in the camera.
Bear in mind the following points when installing the card.
≥ Be absolutely sure to ask your dealer to install the card.
≥ Before installing the card, disconnect the camera’s power supply.
≥ Before handling the card, touch a metal part of the camera to release any static stored in
the body.
Wearing anti-static wrist straps is even safer.
Touching the card without first releasing this static may cause malfunctioning.
≥ Do not allow the metal parts of the card come in contact with any other metal parts.
1. Turn the power to the camera off and remove
the power connector and other cables from
the camera.
2. Loosen the 4 screws on the rear panel of the
camera, then remove the panel itself.
3. Loosen the 2 screws on the optional card slot
cover, then remove the cover.
4. Align the WEB card with the guide rail at the
bottom of the camera and tab at the top, and
insert it. Slide it all the way in securely.
5. Secure the card using the 2 screws.
If the screws have been lost or misplaced, use
the accessory screws (6 mm long) instead.
6. Firmly secure the rear panel with the 4
screws.
If the screws have been lost or misplaced, use
the accessory screws (8 mm long) instead.
7. Connect the necessary cables, then plug in
the power connector and turn on the power.
