PRECAUTIONS
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
120 V AC 60 Hz for WV-CL920 and 12 V DC/24 V
AC for WV-CL924.
Caution:
To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a
UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) for the 12 V
DC or 24 V AC Input Terminal.

CONNECTIONS
A. WV-CL920 (120 V AC 60Hz)
1. Plug the AC power cord (supplied as standard
accessory) into the AC Inlet Socket.
2. Connect the AC power cord to a 120 V AC 60 Hz
outlet.
Notes:
• Connect the power cord firmly.
• The power cord should be long enough for panning and tilting.
If the cable is too short, the power cord plug may
be pulled off the camera when the camera pans or
tilts.
B. WV-CL924 (12 V DC/24 V AC)
The WV-CL924 has an AC/DC compatible input terminal. The 12 V DC or 24 V AC power supply cord can be
connected to this terminal. The camera detects the
power source automatically.

Connect the power cord to
the AC/DC compatible
input terminal on the rear
panel of the camera.

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; +9 V DC, 50 mA Max.
Pin 2: Not used
Pin 3: Video signal; 1.3 V [p-p]/40 kΩ
Pin 4: Shield, ground
(2) Solder the lens cable to the pins of the supplied
connector.

Mounting the Lens
Caution:
Before you mount the lens, loosen the fixing screw
on the side of the camera, and rotate this ring
upward until it stops. If the ring is not at the end,
the inner glass or CCD image sensor may be damaged.
1. Mount the lens by turning it clockwise on the lens
mount of the camera.
2. Connect the lens cable to the auto iris lens connector on the side of the camera.
Caution for Mounting the Lens
The lens mount should be a CS-mount (1”-32UN). In
case of a C-mount, it should be a C-mount adapter and
the lens weight should be less than 450 g (0.99 lbs). If
the lens is heavier, both the lens and camera should be
secured by using the supporter.
The protrusion at the rear of the lens should be as
shown below:
CS-mount: Less than 4 mm (5/32”)
