WARNING: Under light load conditions and high input power voltage, output voltage from the
WCS1-4 power supply may reach 32 VAC. Pelco recommends that all equipment connected to the
WCS1-4 power supply be rated to handle 32 VAC. Pelco’s Spectra domes and Esprit integrated
positioning systems meet this requirement. Pelco cannot be liable for any damages resulting from
incorrect wiring of the WCS1-4 power supply.
