Preface

The WV-CF284/WV-CF294 series are surveillance color CCTV cameras equipped with a 1/4- inch CCD solid-state image sensor with 768 of horizontal pixels.

These cameras can be mounted on a ceiling or a wall without any difficulty.

Features

WV-CF284 is provided with the adaptive black stretch function, high resolution of 540 TV lines (horizontal), and minimum illuminance of 0.9 lx (F1.4) thanks to the adoption of the newly-devel- oped digital signal processor.

WV-CF284T has the functions with which WV-CF284 is equipped and is also compatible with the UTP cable due to the integration of a UTP trans manufactured by Vigitoron Inc.

WV-CF294 has the ABF function (One Push AF)* as well as the functions with which WV-CF284 is equipped resulting in fine and simple focus adjustment.

WV-CF294T has the functions with which WV-CF294 is equipped and is also compatible with the UTP cable due to the integration of a UTP transformer manufactured by Vigitron, Inc.

*The ABF function does not cover the full focus range. Manual coarse adjustments for the angle of view and focus are required. After that, the ABF function provides precise focus adjustment automatically.

Precautions

This apparatus has no power switch.

Power is supplied from an external 12 V DC/24 V AC power-supply device. Refer to service personnel for how to turn on/off the power.

To keep on using with stable performance

•Parts of this product may deteriorate and it may shorten lifetime of this product when using in locations subject to high temperatures and high humidity. Do not expose the product to direct heat such from a heater.

•Use the appliance at temperature within –10 °C to +50 °C {14 °F - 122 °F} and humidity below 90 %. (When using the appliance without turning the power off)

Do not drop metallic parts through slots.

This could permanently damage the apparatus. Turn the power off immediately and contact qualified service personnel for service.

Do not rub your hands with the metallic edges.

This could cause injury.

Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.

To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Ask qualified service personnel for servicing.

Handle the camera with care.

Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera could be damaged by improper handling or storage.

Do not touch the dome cover with your bare hands.

A dirty dome cover causes deterioration of picture quality.

Cleaning the camera body

Turn the power off when cleaning of the camera. Use a dry cloth to clean the camera.

Do not use strong abrasive detergent when cleaning the camera body. When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently. Then, wipe off the remaining detergent with a dry cloth.

Otherwise, it may cause discoloration. When using a chemical cloth for cleaning, read the caution provided with the chemical cloth product.

Discoloration on the CCD color filter

When continuously shooting a bright light source such as a spotlight, the color filter of the CCD may have deteriorated and it may cause discoloration. Even when changing the fixed shooting direction after continuously shooting a spotlight for a certain period, the discoloration may remain.

Do not aim the camera at strong light sources.

A light source such as a spot light causes a blooming (light bleeding) or a smear (vertical lines).

•Locations subject to steam and oil smoke such as a kitchen

•Locations near flammable gas or vapor

•Locations where radiation or x-ray emissions are produced

•Locations subject to strong magnetic field or radio waves

•Locations where corrosive gas is produced

•Locations where it may be damaged by briny air such as seashores

•Locations where the temperature is not within –10 °C - +50 °C {14 °F - 122 °F}.

•Locations subject to vibrations (This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)

Installing place

Contact your dealer for assistance if you are unsure of an appropriate place in your particular environment.

Make sure that the installation area is strong enough to hold the camera, such as a concrete ceiling.

Do not install the camera in a humid or dust-laden environment.

Otherwise, lifetime of the internal parts may be shortened.

Be sure to remove this apparatus if it is not in use.

Radio interference

When the camera is used near TV/radio antenna, strong electric field or magnetic field (near a motor or a transformer), images may be distorted and noise sound may be produced.

Mounting screws

It is necessary to procure screws or bolts to mount the camera. Prepare them according to the material and strength of the area where the camera is to be installed. The screws and bolts must be tightened with an appropriate tightening torque according to the material and strength of the installation area.

•Simple day/night mode selector [D/N]

ON: The camera selects black-and- white mode if the picture is dark, or color mode if the picture is bright enough.

OFF: Color picture is displayed normally.

Default setting: OFF

Note: The simple day/night function is established by utilizing the SENSE UP function for B/W images. The IR filter is secured.

•Adaptive Black Stretch selector [B.S.]

ON: The dark area of the object is automatically corrected to lighten it.

OFF: Does not compensate.

Default setting: ON

Important: In the case of "ON" setting, noise may be increased in the dark area of the object.

In addition, darkness and brightness may be emphasized in the vicinity of the boundary between the dark and bright areas.

Installations and Connections

Caution:

ONLY CONNECT THIS TO 24 V AC OR 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY.

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

■ Preparations

Important:

•Procure 4 mounting screws according to the material of the installation area. In this case, wood screws and nails should not be used.

Recommended tightening torque is as follows. M4: 1.6 N·m {16 kgf·cm}

•Required pull-out capacity of a single screw/bolt is 196 N {20 kgf} or more.

•If a ceiling board such as plaster board is too weak to support the total weight, the area shall be sufficiently reinforced.

•The protection sheet attached to the dome cover shall be peeled off after installation.

● Direct mounting

If the camera is directly mounted on a wall/ceiling, align the camera mounting position with the position of the hole through which the cables run and make the hole.

If no hole is made through a wall/ceiling and open wiring along a wall/ceiling is used, process the cover so that the cables can be run through the side of the cover.

● Using a two-gang junction box

When using a two-gang junction box (4" x 4"), procure one locally that meets the dimensions in the figure.

And then, locally procure four cameramounting screws suitable for the installation surface and structure of the wall/ceiling or two-gang junction box.
