WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the pres­ence of uninsulated "dangerous volt­age" within the product's enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to con­stitute a risk of electric shock to per­sons.

The exclamation point within an equi­lateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important oper­ating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompa­nying the appliance.

The serial number of this product may be found on the bot­tom of the unit.
You should note the serial number of this unit in the space
provided and retain this book as a permanent record of your
purchase to aid identification in the event of theft.

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used properly, i.e., in strict accor­dance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. It has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing
device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference when operated in a commercial
environment.

PREFACE

• The Panasonic WV-BM500 is a desk-top closed
circuit Video Monitor especially designed for sur­veillance and studio applications.
WV-BM500 features a 5” screen (diagonal actual
visual size) and produces sharp, black-and-white
pictures with horizontal resolution of more than 700
lines at center.
Front mounted controls permit fast picture adjust­ment. Standard BNC-type input and output con­nectors enables WV-BM500 to be used with other
CCTV monitors or Panasonic Video Tape
Recorder.

• Model WV-BM503 is a triple monitor combination
with rack-mount chassis that fits the EIA standard
19” rack.

FEATURES

WV-BM500 / WV-BM503

• 5’’ screen (diagonal actual visual size).

• Horizontal resolution 700 lines at center.

• Short H. AFC time constant for VTR playback.

• Bridging input and output connectors for video
and composite sync.

• Available as individual desk top monitor WV­BM500, or triple rack mount version WV-BM503.

• DC restoration.

• Internal and External Sync mode.

PRECAUTIONS

• This unit is designed for indoor use. Operable
ambient temperature range must not range
beyond 14°F - 122°F(−10°C - +50°C), and permis-

sible humidity is less than 90%. Avoid using the
monitor under direction sunIight.

• The input power source must be 120V AC 60 Hz .

• Do not block the ventilation slots on the rear panel
and side cover.

• When mounting the Model WV-BM503 in an EIA
standard 19” rack, be careful to insure that the
interior temperature of the rack does not exceed

5. Height (4)
This recessed screwdriver control should be
adjusted simultaneously to give proper vertical
height consistent with good vertical linearity.
Adjustment should be made to extend the picture
limits approximately 1/10” beyond the top and bot­tom edges of the mask at over scanning operation.

6. Vertical Linearity (6)
This recessed screwdriver control should be
adjusted to give proper vertical linearity.

7. Focus (8)
The clearest picture is produced when this screw­driver control is adjusted.

8. DC Restoration (10)
DC restoration circuit provides a stable reference
for the black level. Set the switch to ON position to
prevent excessive contrast and preserve shadow
detail.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

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

CONNECTIONS

Power Cable

1. Keep the camera Power switched OFF during
installation.

2. Connect the Power Cord (16) to a 60 Hz grounded
electrical outlet 120V AC .

Video Cable

1. Use the RG-59/U (3C-2V), RG-6/U (5C-2V). RG­11/U (7C-2V) or RG-15/U (10C-2V) coaxial cable.

2. Up to 10 monitors can be hooked up in this config­uration before signal loss occurs. Total cable
length should not exceed 500 feet (150m).

3. Wiring Precautions

• Do not bend coaxial cable into a curve whose
radius is smaller than 10 times of its diameter.

• Never crush or pinch the cable
All these will change the impedance of the cable
and cause poor picture quality

External Sync

When a non-composite video signal is connected to
the monitor, it will be necessary to connect an external
composite sync signal to the monitor.

1. Connect the Sync Input Connector (14) on the
video monitor to the sync signal source by means
of a 75Ω coaxial cable.

2. Set the Sync Selector Switch (13) at EXT position.

NOTE:

1. Non-composite video signal is a signal without
sync.

2. External sync should be composed of mixed H.
Sync and V. sync signals, not H. and V. drive
pulse signals. Composite Sync Level:

4.0 Vp-p (2.0 Vp-p − 5.0 Vp-p)

SYSTEM CONNECTION

1. Single Monitor Connection

2. Multiple Monitor Connection

Internal Sync Connection

• Connect the Video Input Connector (11) on the

monitor to the Video Out Terminal of cameras with
75-ohm coaxial cables.

External Sync Connection

• When a non-composite video signal is connected

to the video monitor, it must also have an external
composite SYNC signal connected to the video
monitor.

• Set the Sync Selector Switch (13) at EXT position.

• Loop through connection of sync signal is the

same as the case of Video Signal.
