FEATURES

This Color CCTV Camera is a video surveillance device that incorporates a 1/4-type {1/4"} CCD, a 30x zoom lens, preset and pan and tilt capabilities in a dome configuration.

■ Super Dynamic 3 (SUPER-D 3)

SUPER-D 3 can capture clear images of subjects whose illumination is extremely different (page 26).

■ New DSP for High Sensitivity

A new noise reduction system lowers minimum illuminance to 0.5 lux{fc} in the color mode and 0.04 lux{fc} in the black and white mode.

■ Auto Night time Switching to Black and White Mode

The camera can be configured to switch to the black and white mode automatically under low light conditions for clear images, even at night.

■ Digital Flip

Normally, a camera needs to stop when it points straight down during a tilt operation. With digital flip, however, the camera is able to tilt from 0° to 180° in a single motion. This makes it possible to track subjects passing directly under the camera more smoothly.

Digital Flip Operation

if there would be any environmental cause.

*Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. herewith declares that it will not be liable for any damage, whether direct or indirect, caused by using the product for business transaction or security, or malfunctioning of this product.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

■The camera does not have a power switch.

■What to do if OVER HEAT appears on the display.

This message indicates that the inside of the camera has become extremely hot.

Immediately turn off the camera and contact your retailer.

■ What to do if WARM UP-PLEASE WAIT.** appears

on the display.

This message indicates that the inside of the camera is cold.

Please wait for a short time until the heating fan warms up the inside of the camera.

The countdown shown as the numbers in “**” in quotes is a guideline of the time required. When the value reaches “0” the inside of the camera is warm and the on-screen display disappears. The camera is then reset and operation is normal.

■ Note the following to ensure long-term trouble-

free operation

Long operation under high temperatures and high humidity can cause components to deteriorate and shorten camera life.

Make sure the camera is installed in a location where it is not directly exposed to heat from a radiator, heater, etc.

■Avoid using this camera in a food preparation area and other locations where there are large amounts of steam vapor and oil.

■About the Camera Cleaning Function

Prolonged use can lead to noise on the monitor and divergence of preset positions.

If such conditions persist even after you perform camera cleaning (page 38), use the special setup menu to execute the “REFRESH” operation (page 43).

■ Do not allow anything to forcefully hit the dome

cover

Anything hitting the dome cover may damage the camera or cause leaks.

■ This camera is designed for use in a hanging

configuration only.

Do not use it in an upright configuration on a tabletop, floor, etc. Such conditions create the risk of malfunction.

■ CCD color filter burn-in

Intense light concentrated on one spot for a long period can cause deterioration of the CCD internal color filters, and discoloration of the affected part. Even if the camera position is changed from a fixed position, the discoloration at the previous location of the concentrated light will remain on the screen.

-7-

■ Do not point the camera at a strong light source.

Intense light such as that produced by a spotlight concentrated on one part of the screen can cause blooming (rainbow around the strong light) or smearing (vertical stripes above and below the strong light).

Bright Subject

Smearing

Blooming

■ Pictures directly below the camera

A circular object appears in the center of the picture, it is caused by the shape of the dome cover and is not a malfunction.

■ Do not aim the camera at the same object for a

long time.

Burn-in of an image may be caused on the fluorescent screen of CRT.

■ Handle the camera carefully.

Do not drop the camera, or subject it to strong impact or vibration. Such conditions create the risk of malfunction.

■ Consumables

Parts having contacts such as the lens-drive motors, cooling fan motor and slip-rings inside the camera are subject to wear with time. Contact the nearest service dealer about replacement and maintenance of such parts.

■ Cleaning the camera

Turn off the camera and wipe it with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, wipe it off gently with a soft cloth moistened with a weak solution of water and a neutral kitchen detergent. Wring all excess liquid from the cloth before wiping the camera. Next, wipe off all remaining solution with a soft, dry cloth.

Contact a qualified service person before cleaning the lenses. (Lenses do not move during cleaning.)

A dirty dome cover or lens causes deterioration of picture quality. Use lens cleaning paper (like the type available for cleaning eyeglasses or a camera lens) to clean the lens.

The dome cover is particularly susceptible to damage. Gently wipe it with a soft cloth.

■ Downloading (saving) or uploading (recovering)

camera setting information

Camera setting information that can be downloaded to the system controller etc, includes existing preset position settings and menu settings. However, the following items are not included.

•Patrol function (page 35)

•Area title function (page 37)

•Blemish compensation pattern (page 42)

•RS485 settings (page 21)

•Password settings (page 45)

Be sure the camera is not moving and aimed at something that moves very little (like a wall) before downloading camera preset data to the system controller etc. or uploading downloaded data to the camera.

Uploading of WV-CW964 preset data to other models (e.g. WV-CS854, WV-CS854A, WV-CS854B and WVNS324) may cause an error and failure of the uploading process.

■ Self-diagnosing Function

If abnormal operation due to external noise or some other reason continues for more than 30 seconds, the camera will automatically reset itself and restore normal operation. Reset operation the same initialization routine that is performed when the camera is turned on. If the reset is required too often, it could mean that the camera is installed in a location where there is a large amount of external noise. This can cause malfunction of the camera, so you should contact a qualified service person or system installer as soon as possible.

■ Combining devices

There is a limit to the number of devices that can be put together in one configuration. Check the specifications and outer dimensions before hooking up the devices. For more information, see the “Panasonic CCTV System Catalogue” or consult your retailer.

■Install the camera in a horizontal configuration, with the dome pointed downwards.

■Never install or use the camera in the following locations.

•Near a swimming pool or other areas where chemicals are used

•Food preparation areas and other locations where there are large amounts of steam vapor and oil, in flammable atmospheres, other special environments

•Areas where radiation, X-rays, strong electric waves, or magnetism is generated

•At sea, in coastal areas, or in areas where corrosive gas is being generated

•Areas outside of the allowable ambient operating temperature range (-40 °C to +50 °C {-40 °F to 122 °F})

•In a motor vehicle, on a boat, or other areas subject to strong vibration (This camera is not designed for use in a vehicle.)

•Near an air conditioner outlet or any areas subject to sudden changes in temperature. (Such conditions can cause clouding and condensation formation on the dome cover.)

■Wiring power to the camera

The camera does not have a power switch. During the electrical work, configure the power supply to the camera so it can be turned on and off. A self-cleaning function is activated (PAN/TILT/ZOOM/FOCUS) when the camera is turned on.

■ Noise interference considerations

When using a power line that is greater than 120 V AC and wiring that is longer than 1 meter, wiring should be routed using a separate metal conduit. (The metal conduit must be earth grounded.)

Important:

•Before setting up the camera for a configuration where the camera's RS485 data port is used for camera control (pan, tilt, etc.) by the system controller, the camera's DIP switches must be configured to specify the unit number and communication parameters. (page 13)

If DIP switch setting is not performed, the system controller control will not be possible and camera setup will have to be performed again. Be sure to check the DIP switch settings before setting up the camera.

Note: If you need to connect a ground, be sure to do it before you connect the main power. Also, when removing the ground, be sure to disconnect the main power.

■ Beware of high humidity.

If the camera is installed when humidity is very high, moisture may collect in the camera and cause the dome to become foggy. If the dome becomes foggy, remove it when the humidity is low and eliminate the moisture inside the camera, and then replace the dome. (page 7, 10)

■ About the heater

The camera comes with a built-in heater so it can be used in cold regions. The heater automatically turns on when the internal temperature goes below 10 °C {50 °F}. However, snow and frost that collect on the dome cover may not melt if the temperature falls below -40 °C {-40 °F}. Care needs to be taken regarding the ambient and internal temperature when using the camera in cold regions.

■ About effects on image quality

The camera does not have a wiper. If the camera is installed in the following conditions image quality may deteriorate or the image may be invisible.

(1)In the rain

The picture may be hard to see if the wind blows rain onto the dome cover while it is raining.

(2)In the snow

When it snows, snow may collect on the dome cover and block some of the picture. (The amount of snow that collects on the dome cover depends on the quality and amount of the snow.)

(3)Effects of dust and automobile exhaust

Airborne dust and automobile exhaust, from the location where the camera is installed, may cause dirt to build up on the dome cover and reduce the quality of the picture.

■Important hints to help with the installation

•A self-cleaning function is activated (PAN/TILT/ ZOOM/FOCUS) when the camera is turned on.

•There is a limit to the number of devices that can be put together in one configuration. Check the ratings and outer dimensions before hooking up the devices.
