PREF ACE

FEATURES

The WJ-MP204 Data Multiplex Unit enables you to remote
control multiple surveillance cameras, check alarm set­tings, operate the cameras and control other system com­ponents when combined with the WV-CU360 System
Controller with Panasonic Security Data mode
capability.

The WJ-MP204 offers the following functions:

• Panasonic Security Data mode (with WV-CU360 con­nected)

• Camera Communication mode (with WJ-SX350 con­nected via RS-485)

• Camera channel selection

• Alarm resetting and suspension

• Communication and system setup

Remote control of the cameras using the WV-CU360
System Controller with Panasonic Security Data mode
capability, including:

• Camera settings

• Pan/Tilt Head and Camera Housing (Wiper, Defroster,
etc.)

• Motorized Zoom Lens (Focus, Zoom, Iris, etc.)

• Camera setup

Camera Spot function

Allows you to display on the monitor any camera image
selected on the WJ-MP204 Data Multiplex Unit or the WV­CU360 System Controller.

Alarm function

Performs the following operations in response to alarm
input to the WJ-MP204 Data Multiplex Unit:

• Activates the camera preset function and displays the
image of the camera at the preset position on the moni­tor.

• Outputs an alarm signal from the Alarm/Remote con­nector to external devices to notify them of the alarm.

• Accepts alarm input multiplexed with video signal from
the camera.

Using up to four Data Multiplex Units in daisy-chain con­nection allows expansion of the system to include up to 16
cameras. The distance between the system and the cam­eras can be extended by connecting an AV Codec or simi­lar device. The WJ-MP204 and other devices compatible
with Panasonic Security Data mode have the logo

.

3, 4)

The video signal connected to the Camera Input
Connector (CAMERA IN 1, 2, 3, 4) is looped through to
these connectors.

!1 Video Input Connector (SPOT IN)

Used when multiple Data Multiplex Units are connect­ed.
Note: To connect multiplex Data Multiplex Units, set

DAISY MODE in the System menu to ON.

!2 Video Output Connector (SPOT OUT)

This connector supplies the video output signal for the
spot monitor. It is also used when connecting multiple
Data Multiplex Units.

!3 VS/VD Input Connector (VS/VD IN)

Accepts the video sync signal (VS), or a vertical drive
signal (VD) supplied by external devices to synchro­nize the Data Multiplex Unit with other devices.

The installation described below should be made by quali­fied service personnel or system installers.

■ Mounting in the Rack

Remove the four rubber feet by removing the four screws
from the bottom of the WJ-MP204.

● Mounting One WJ-MP204 with the WV-

Q204/1

1. Fix the mounting brackets (large and small) on both
sides of the WJ-MP204 with the eight supplied screws
(M3x8).

● Mounting two WJ-MP204s With the WV-

Q204/2

1. Place the joint metals on the WJ-MP204s as shown
below and fix them with the supplied screws (M3x6).
Note: Remove the two screws from the rear of each

WJ-MP204s and fasten it with the eight supplied
screws (M3x8).

2. Install the WJ-MP204s with the rack
mounting brackets on the rack using
four screws (not supplied).

Cautions:

• Do not block the ventilation opening or slots in the
cover to prevent the appliance from overheating.
Always keep temperature in the rack within +45°C
(113°F).

• Secure the rear of the appliance to the rack by using
additional mounting brackets (procured locally), if the
rack is subject to vibration.

• Do not use tapping screws for installing the WJ-MP204
on the rack with the rack mounting brackets.

ALARM CONTROL FUNCTIONS

■ Alarm Input

The Data Multiplex Unit processes the following alarms.
(As to setting, see page 14, 18 and 19.)

• Camera Site Alarm

Alarm multiplexed with video signals from the camera.

• Terminal Alarm

Alarm received from the ALARM/REMOTE connector.

■ Alarm Operation

ALARM MODE set to ON on the Setup menu (See pages
14 and 18 for details.)

• Alarm indicator blinks.

• Alarm data is transmitted to the system controller and
other system units.

MONITOR SPOT set to ON on the Setup menu (See pages
14 and 18 for details.)

• The camera pictures change automatically to the spot
where the alarm is activated.

• The camera pictures change to the preset position
when the alarm is activated in Panasonic Security Data
mode.

ALARM DISPLAY set to ON on the Setup menu (See pages
14 and 18.)

• [ALARM∗∗∗] appears on the screen. [ALARM∗∗∗]
blinks in alarm ON mode.

Note: The figure shown in the place of [∗∗∗] after the

word ALARM is a channel number.

■ Alarm Reset

● Mode After Alarm Reset

• The camera picture remains as it is until the alarm is
reset.

• [ALARM∗∗∗] disappears. The figure shown in the place
of [∗∗∗] after the word ALARM is a camera number.

• Alarm signal output stops.

• The alarm indicator stops blinking.

• Reset signal is supplied from the alarm reset output.

● Manual Reset

The following are the steps to reset the alarm.

• Press the ALARM RESET button on the System
Controller WV-CU360. (in Panasonic Security Data
mode only)

• Press the ALARM RESET button on the WJ-MP204.

• Signal is sent to the alarm recover input connector.

• Alarm reset command is sent to the RS-485 terminal (in
camera communication mode only).

● Auto Reset

An alarm is automatically reset when the programmed
alarm output time is over. The alarm indicator changes from
blinking to steady light (See pages 14 and 18).

Note: To go the alarm indicator off, take any one of the

steps for manual reset.

■ Alarm Suspend

Alarms will be ignored when the ALARM/SUSPEND button
is pressed. The alarm suspension mode is reset when the
ALARM/SUSPEND button is pressed again. The alarm sus­pend indicator remains lighted during alarm suspend
mode.

ALARM OUTPUT set to EXT or 1S-5MIN on the Setup menu
(See pages 14 and 18.)

• Alarm signal is supplied from the alarm output connec­tor. This permits controlling external devices in case of
an alarm.

• Camera site alarm is available to each channel.
Each alarm signal can be supplied independently from
ALARM/REMOTE connector by shifting the internal con­nector.
