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.

WARNING:

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

The lightning flash with arrowhead sym­bol, within an equilateral triangle, is
interned 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.

ENGLISH VERSION

FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CARE­FULLY.

WARNING

THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code.

Green-and-yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live

As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows.

The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to
the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth
symbol

I or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

For U.K.

-1-

THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted
only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed
through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the
equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide con­nection to earth. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of
fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that
the power point is earthed and that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power
point, consult a qualified electrician.

9. Built in Digital Motion Detector

1. 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 a
qualified service person for servicing.

2. Handle the camera with care.

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

3. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture,
or try to operate it in wet areas.

Turn the power off immediately and ask a qualified
service person for servicing. Moisture can damage
the camera and also create the danger of electric
shock.

4. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the camera body.

Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when dirty.
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild
detergent and wipe gently.

5. Clean the CCD faceplate with care.

Do not clean the CCD with strong or abrasive
detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped
applicator and ethanol.

6. Never face the camera towards the sun.

Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether
the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun
or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise,
blooming or smear may be caused.

7. Do not operate the camera beyond the
specified temperature, humidity or power
source ratings.

Use the camera under conditions where tempera­ture is between

−10°C - +50°C (14°F - 122°F), and
humidity is below 90%. The input power source is
220 - 240V AC 50Hz for WV-CL830 and DC
12V/AC 24V for WV-CL834.

Video Cable

1. It is recommended to use a monitor whose resolu­tion is at least equal to that of the camera.

2. Set the termination switch to the 75

Ω position on

the last monitor.

A. Use a 75Ω coaxial cable.
B. Set the termination switch to the 75Ω position

on the last monitor and to the Hi-Z position on
the other monitors. Do not change the posi­tions after setting.

C. The maximum extensible coaxial cable length

between the camera and the monitor is shown

3. Wiring precautions:

• Do not bend the coaxial cable into a curve whose
radius is smaller than 10 times the cable’s diame­ter.

• Never staple the cable even if with circular sta­ples. Impedance mismatching will occur.

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

Installation of Auto Iris Lens Connector

Install the lens connector (YFE4191J100) when using a
video drive ALC lens.

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

(1) Cut the iris control cable at the edge of the lens

connector to remove the existing lens connector
and then remove the outer cable cover as shown
in the diagram below.

The pin assignment of the lens connector is as fol­lows:

Pin 1: Power source; +9V DC, 50mA Max.
Pin 2: Not used
Pin 3: Video signal; 1.3 V[p-p]/40 kΩ
Pin 4: Shield, ground

Note: When the iris control cable is too thick to

lock the connector cover with the connector
base, cut off the rib on the connector.

(Select VIDEO for LENS DRIVE of the CAM
SET UP menu.)
