The WJ-FS616 Video Multiplexer is designed to multiplex the field signals from video cameras and record the camera images on a time lapse VCR. Up to 16 cameras can be connected to the unit for monitoring images in multiscreen, sequence, still or electronic zoom mode on a video monitor screen.

The WJ-FS616 allows you to control camera functions such as lens focussing, zooming, and iris, positioning of the pan/tilt head, etc. This makes the system highly flexible and sophisticated, and allows expansion to up to 64 cameras.

FEATURES

• The pictures of any connected camera can be displayed on full screen or on a 4, 7, 9, 10, 13 and 16 multiscreen as shown below.

(7, 10 and 13 multiscreens are not available for playback pictures.)

In addition, one playback picture can be displayed with camera pictures in 4, 7, 10 and 13 multiscreens.

• The pattern of a spot sequence consisting of up to 32 steps can be programmed by presetting the channel order and individual dwell time. The pattern of a 4, 7, 9, 10, 13, or 16 multiscreen sequence consisting of up to 5 steps can be programmed as shown below.

• Fully charge up the backup battery.

Keep the appliance turned on for at least 48 hours to recharge the backup battery. This procedure is necessary when using the appliance for the first time or after it has been unplugged for a long time from the AC outlet. Insufficient charging of the battery may cause erasure of settings if the AC power supply should fail. The battery, if fully charged, will back up the settings for 72 hours in an ordinary environment.

• We recommend that you note down your settings and retain them. Power or battery failure may erase settings you entered.

• Do not expose the appliance to water or moisture, nor try to operate it in wet areas.

Do take immediate action if the appliance becomes wet. Turn the power off and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Moisture can damage the appliance and also cause electric shock.

• Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the appliance body.

Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance when it is dirty. When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently.

• Do not operate the appliance beyond its specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings.

Do not use the appliance in an extreme environment where high temperature or high humidity exists. Use the appliance at temperatures within −10°C +50°C (14°F - 122°F) and a humidity below 90 %. The input power source for this appliance is 120 V AC 60 Hz.

Video Multiplexer WJ-FS616

■ Connection with the Camera Sites

Connect cameras (or camera site equipment) data multiplexed type to the CAMERA IN connectors 1 through 4 on the rear panel of the Video Multiplexer. Note: Make sure that the cable length between the

camera site and the WJ-FS616 Video Multi-plexer is less than 900 m (3 000 ft) when using RG59/U, BELDEN 9259 or equivalent cables.

Connect none multiplexed type cameras to the CAMERA IN connectors 5 through 16. Note: If you need to change input channels from

the none multiplexed type to multiplexed, install the WV-PB6164 Data Multiplex Boards for the corresponding channels inside the Video Multiplexer. For installations, see page 10.

For cameras equipped with RS-485 communication facility, connect the RS-485 cable as follows. Note: If you use cables assembled from locally pro-

cured materials, it is important that only high quality, data grade cable, suitable for RS-485 “2-wire twisted pair shielded cable” is used, BELDEN 9406 or equivalent. Low grade cable will result in unstable operation of the system.

Check the settings of the camera addresses when using cameras capable of RS-485 communication. Operations from the Multiplexer will not work if the camera addresses are set improperly.

1. Do not use addresses other than 1 through 16 for individual cameras (“17” is not allowed.)

2. Do not set the same address for more than one camera in an RS-485 chain.

■ Connections for RS-485 type camera

There are two options to connect the camera with the Multiplexer, depending on the distance between them. For data multiplexed type cameras, a maximum distance of 900 meters (3 000 ft) is the limit for using coaxial cable such as RG-59/U, BELDEN 9259 or equivalent. If more distance is required, use cameras and Multiplexers with RS-485 communication feature. This will lower signal loss and extend the distance as video signal and data are transmitted separately. Note that you need to set up the communication port as described on page 35 when using the RS485 feature. Note: Recommended for RS-485 communication is

shielded, two-wire, twisted pair, low impedance cable, AWG#22 or thicker.

(1) Connect with single RS-485 camera as shown

below, setting the LINE SELECT switch to “2” or “4”.

(2) Connect cameras in a Daisy Chain

1. Draw up a plan for connection between the cameras and the input channels of the Video Multiplexer, and the assignment of unit addresses to cameras.

Caution:

Check the settings of the camera addresses when using cameras capable of RS-485 communication. Operations from the Multiplexer will not work if the camera addresses are set improperly.

1. Do not use addresses other than 1 through 16 for individual cameras (“17” is not allowed).

2. Do not set a single address for more than one camera in an RS-485 chain.

2. Set the LINE SELECT switch of the Multiplexer to “2”. Also set the switch of the connected equipment if required.

3. Connect one end of the cable as shown to the RS485 terminal of the Multiplexer, and the other end to the first camera in the chain. Repeat this procedure for all cameras to the end of the chain.

4. Set the termination switches of the Multiplexer and cameras at both ends of the chain to ON position. Termination switches of cameras not at the chain ends must be in OFF position.

Cautions:

• Termination is the key to data transmission and reception in the chain. Only the switches at the chain ends must be switched ON, while the other switches are kept OFF.

• Response may slow gradually the higher the equipment number in the chain.

■ Connection with the Monitors

Connect the Monitors to the Spot Output (SPOT OUT) Connector and Multiscreen (MULTISCREEN) Connector on the rear of the Video Multiplexer.

■ Connection with the WV-CU550A

System Controller

If the supplied 6-conductor cable assembly is used, simply plug one end of the cable into the DATA IN port of the Video Multiplexer and the other end into DATA OUT port on the System Controller. If you use cables assembled from locally procured materials, it is important that only high quality, data grade cable, suitable for RS-485 “2-wire twisted pair shielded cable” is used, BELDEN 9406 or equivalent. Low grade cable will result in unstable operation of the system.

● Setting the Termination and Controller Unit

Number

The Termination Switch and the Controller Unit Number Switch are located on the rear of the System Controller. When combined with the WJ-FS616 Video Multiplexer, always keep these switches in the positions shown below.

● Setting the Mode Selection Switch

The Mode Selection Switch, that selects the operation mode of the System Controller, is located on the rear of the System Controller. When combined with the WJ-FS616 Video Multiplexer, always keep these switches in the positions shown below.

■ Connection with the PC

There are two options to communicate with the PC, the first is using RS-232C port and the second is via DATA port.

Connection with the WV-CU550A System Controller

RS-232C

• In page 2 of 2 of the SYSTEM SETUP menu, select the RS-232C MODE and press the SET button to activate the RS-232C port on the rear panel. Then you need to select the parameters of the RS-232C in the COM PORT SETUP menu detailed on page 35.

• Use a cross type RS-232C cable to connect the Multiplexer with the PC.

DATA

In page 2 of 2 of the SYSTEM SETUP menu, select the DATA MODE and press the SET button to activate the DATA port on the rear panel. Then you need to select the parameters of the DATA in the COM PORT SETUP menu detailed on page 35. Use a 6-core modular cable to connect the Multiplexer with the PC.

Caution:

Data disruption may occur if you use both DATA port and RS-232C port at a time. Use only one port to communicate with the PC.
