PREFACE

Panasonic introduces a totally new programmable Sequential Switcher, WJ-SQ508, which can be used in a Panasonic system 300 or in a stand alone system. Using multiple (up to 8) units in a master/slave configuration, the WJ-SQ508 8-position Sequential Switcher will provide switching of up to 64 cameras. It also provides remote control capability, when used with the optional WV-CU300 System Controller. The WJ-SQ508 features two switching modes. In Mode 1, conventional sequential camera switching is performed, white in Mode camera’s dwell time can be programmed, between 0.5 and 30 seconds, using on-screen programming.

2, each individual

FEATURES

Provides two separate sequence dwell time modes;

Program Mode: Dwell time for each channel is individually programmable

Normal Mode: Dwell time for all channels is the same

Programmable of the switching order of the connected cameras.

Password entry and on-screen menu for programming and setup.

Twelve (12} character alphanumeric display for each video input

Master/slave configuration with 8 units enables expansion for systems use with up to 64 camera locations

The WJ-SQ508 also includes an adjustable fast scanning feature that can switch between 66.8 msec and 400.8 msec

per camera to a video recorder during an alarm condition. This enables recording of pictures at a rate of nearly 13 cameras a second during an alarm. The WJ-SQ508 also features a conventional alarm mode, in which sequential switching is stopped, and an individual camera is linked to the recorder and/or monitor. With on-screen programming,

a built-in alphanumeric titler allows easy superimposition of a name or location for each camera, to simplify camera

site programming. The versatile WJ-SQ508 can be the

foundation of any growing surveillance system.

Two monitor output modes: Sequential/Alarm and Sequential/Spot Two alarm activation modes: Mode 1: Quick Scan Alarm activated internal switching, adjustable between

66.8 msec, and 400.8 msec, and EXT.

Mode 2; Spot Alarm

Conventional alarm activation All functions of the WJ-SQ508, except for

programming, can be remotelly controlled by the System Controller WV-CU300

PRECAUTIONS

Do not attempt to disassemble the instrument, In order

to prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or

covers. There are no user-seviceable parts inside. Do refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Do not abuse the instrument. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. It could be damaged by improper handing or storage. Do handle the instrument with care.

Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the instrument body. Do use a dry cloth to clean the instrument when dirty.ln case the dirt is hard to remove, use mild detergent and wipe gently.

Do not expose the instrument to water or moisture, and do not operate in wet area. Do take immediate action if ever the instrument does become wet. Turn the power off and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Moisture can damage the instrument and also create the danger of electric shock.

All necessary procedures with regard to the installation of this product should be made by qualified service

personnel or system installers.

Do not use the instrument in an extreme environment where high temperature or high humidity exist. Use the

instrument under conditions where temperatures are

within 14°F-122°F (—10°C - +50°C), and humidity is

below 95’/i.

1. Power ON/OFF Switch (POWER ON/OFF)

When this switch is depressed, the unit turns on and Power Indicator (2) lights up.

Because of the back up memory this unit has, the previous working conditions will be recalled when the power of this unit is turned on,

2. Power Indicator (POWER)

3. Sequence Switch (SEQUENCE)

This is a push-push type switch with LED indicator. When this switch is pressed, sequential switching starts, according to the dwell time set by the Dwell Time control (5). The LED indicators on the Spot Switches(4) turn on and off to show which input is being supplied to both the Spot/Sequence Video Output Connector (23) and the Alarm/Sequence Video Output Connector (22).

- 3 -

Note;

1. The above switching is called a normal sequential switching and the Program Switch (20) should be off during this mode.

2. If the Program Switch (20) is on, programmed

switching is being performed,

3. The inputs where the LEDs of the Bypass Switches (19) are off will be skipped. Also the input will be skipped when the AUTO SKIP is ON, (See page 10 for AUTO SKIP SETTING)

4. The sequence mode will not be released unless one of the Spot Switches (4) Is selected.

4. Spot Switches (1/2

These switches are push-push type switches with LED indicators. When the one of these switches is pressed, the normal/programmed sequence mode will be released, and the selected input will be supplied to the Spot/Sequence Video Output connector (23).

5. Dwell Time Control (TIME)

This control is used for setting up the dwell time of cameras under normal sequence mode.

The maximum dwell time is approximately 30 sec at L position and the minimum dwell time is approximately

0. 5.sec at S position. When this control is set to EXT position, the dwell time

is controlled by the external switching pulse which is fed to the External Timing Connector (32).

Note:

1. No sound can be heard when the dwell time is less than 1 second,

2. Time Lapse VTR can be used for the external switching pulse.

6. Master Indicator (MASTER)

FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM

44. Cable-loss Compensation Switches (CABLE COMP, 1/2-/8, L/M/S) These switches are used to set the most suitable

position of the cable-loss compensator for each camera input signal. The video output signals at the Alarm/Sequence Video Output Connector (22) and the Spot/Sequence Video Output Connector (23) are compensated. The suitable switch position and its approximate cable length are as follows: S: up to 1.300ft (394m) M: 1.300ft (394m) to 2.300ft (697m) L; 2.300ft (697m) to 3.000ft (909m)

(with RG-59U, BELDEN 9259 or. equivalent)

Note:

When this switch is set improperly, the camera may not be controlled properly.

45. Video Output Connectors (VIDEO OUT) The video input signals connected to the Video

Input Connectors (21) are looped through to these

connectors.

The following diagram shows a simplified signal flow of the WJ-SQ508.

• When the WJ-SQ508 is in the sequence mode, the output signals from ALARM/SEQ VIDEO OUT and SPOT/SEQ VIDEO OUT are sequential video signals.

• When the ALARM IN/QUICK SCAN IN is activated, the alarmed video signal is provided to the ALARM /SEQ VIDEO OUT.

However, the sequential video signal is still provided to the SPOT/SEQ video out.
