■ Connections
Notes:
• Before connecting the power cables, be sure to remove the protection screw for transportation. Otherwise, the camera can be damaged.
• Firmly connect the power cord.
• When the camera is mounted on a pan/tilt table, the power cord should be long enough.
Otherwise, it may be unplugged from the camera.
• Connection of 120 V AC 60 Hz to WV-CP480
Plug the supplied power cord to the AC inlet of the
camera.
• Connection of 12 V DC/24 V AC 60 Hz to WV-CP484
12 V DC
Use the formula below to calculate the power cable and power supply. The voltage sup-
plied to the power terminals of the camera should be within 10.8 V DC and 16 V DC.
10.8 V DC ≤ V
A
− 2(R x I x L) ≤ 16 V DC
L : Cable length (m)
R : Resistance of copper wire (Ω/m)
V
A : DC output voltage of power supply unit
I : DC current consumption (A). See specifications.
Resistance of copper wire [at 20 °C {68 °F}]
24 V AC
The recommended cable length and thickness are shown in
the table for reference. The voltage supplied to the power
terminals of the camera should be within 19.5 V AC and
28 V AC.
• Video Cable Connections
GEN-LOCK Input
Connect an external sync source to the
GEN-LOCK input connector. When looping through, use a branch connector
(not supplied). Set the termination switch
to 75 Ω when the camera is at the line
end, or set it to HI-Z in other cases.
VIDEO OUT
Connect the video output connector to the monitor or other system device with the procured coaxial cable. The maximum extensible length is shown in the table.
• External Terminal Connections
ALARM OUT
Connect an external device such as a buzzer, recorder, etc.
Specifications are: open collector output: 16 V DC, 100 mA max.
OFF: High, inactive
ON: Low, active
DAY/NIGHT IN
Connect an external device such as an
optical sensor.
Specifications are: pulled-up input: 5 V DC,
2 mA min.
OFF: Open contact, inactive
ON: Closed contact, active
Notes:
• To validate the sensor inputs, select
EXT for BW on the BW MODE menu.
• Use a relay unit if the voltage or current
of the connected device exceeds the ratings.
Cautions:
1. The installation should be made by qualified service personnel or system installers.
2. The connections should comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC 725-51).
3. ONLY CONNECT THIS TO A 24 V AC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY. Be sure to connect
the grounding lead to the GND terminal. (for WV-CP484)
4. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) for
the Input Terminal. (for WV-CP484)
5. Do not use a transformer larger than 10 VA. (for WV-CP484)

Caution for Mounting the Lens
Follow the directions shown in the figure for the
protrusion between a lens and the camera
body. This camera has a mount for use with the
CS-mount lens shipped from the factory.
A lens less than 450 g {0.99 lbs} can be mounted on the camera. If the lens is heavier, both
the lens and camera should be secured by the
supporter.
Mounting the Lens
1. Mount the lens.
2. Connect the lens cable to the auto iris connector on the side of the camera.
Mounting the Camera
• Mounting from the Top
Remove the mount adapter from the bottom
of the camera by removing the two fixing
screws. Attach the mount adapter to the top
as shown in the figure, then mount the camera on the mounting bracket.
Caution:
Be sure to use two original fixing screws for
the mount adapter.
Longer screws may damage the inner components. Or shorter screws may cause the
camera to fall down.
Flange-back (Back-focus) Adjustment
Before adjustment, read the Hints column below.
This adjustment is available only if SETUP-SW LOCK is set to OFF in the BACK-FOCUS
SETUP menu.
1. Aim the camera at the targeting objects and if applicable adjust the zoom angle.
2. Press the SET button.
→ A bar graph with "I" cursor and INDICA-
TOR (4-digit number) will be overlaid on
the camera picture.
→ Back focus will be automatically adjust-
ed.
3. If needed, perform manual adjustment using
the L and R buttons to obtain the best focus
on the targeted object while observing the
picture. See INDICATOR for reference.
The bar graph will disappear if no operation is
performed for around 10 seconds.
This adjustment can be also performed on the setup menu.
Refer to 16. Back-focus Setting for details.
Important: Do not use the ABF function for continuous or repetitive purposes (ex. auto-
focus etc.). This function is to be used to correct defocus caused by switching between
color and black - and - white when/after installing the camera.

Hints
Before Back-focus Adjustment
• Adjustment procedures vary depending on the lens. Refer to the instructions included with the lens.
• Reset the back-focus by pressing the L and R buttons simultaneously on the camera, and adjust the back-focus.
• Move the lens focus to the FAR-end when using a fixed-focal lens (lens focus
adjustable type), and adjust the back-focus.
For Adjusting the Focus
• It is recommended that you lower the lighting for the object to be as dim as possible when adjusting the focus with an auto iris lens. This will make the iris open and
will result in an accurate focus even though the lighting conditions vary. This may
be slightly different from the best focus point in a specific lighting condition.
• Compared with cases under visible lights, using near-infrared lights may somewhat
deviate the focus. It is recommended that you select AUTO or PRESET for C/L ← →
B/W in the BACK-FOCUS SETUP menu to obtain a proper focus for each of visible
and near-infrared lights.
For Using General Vari-focal Lenses
1. Aim at the objects 10 meters away or more to adjust the back-focus.
2. For 8x and 10x class lenses, set the zoom to the WIDE-end and the focus to the
FAR-end, and then adjust the back focus.
3. For 2x and 3x class lenses, set the zoom to the TELE-end and the focus to the FARend, and then adjust the back focus.
4. Aim the camera at the targeted objects to place them in the center then coarsely
adjust the zoom angle and the focus of the lens. Finally, perform adjustment of the
back-focus in either ways of using ABF (automatically) or MANUAL-ADJ (manually).
Note: There may be lenses having an extended range in lens focus adjustment, except
Panasonic lenses. When using such a lens, set the lens focus back appropriately
from the applicable end position in the above step 2 and 3 depending on the lens,
and then perform back-focus adjustment. The back-focus will not be properly
adjusted if the lens focus is positioned into the extended range.
