Operation Manual

This Operation Manual covers safety, camera functions, installation and the
correct operating procedure for the WAT-2200. First, we ask you to read this
Operation Manual thoroughly, then install and operate the WAT-2200 as advised.
In addition, for future reference, we also advise safekeeping of this manual.

If you do not understand the installation, operation or safety instructions
expressed in this manual, please contact the distributor or dealer from where the
WAT-2200 was purchased. Not understanding the contents of the Operation
Manual sufficiently may cause damage to the camera, personal belongings
and/or result in injury.

Guide to the Safety Symbols

Symbols used in this operation manual:

“Danger”, may lead to a serious accident such as death or injury
caused by fire or electric shock.

“Warning”, may cause severe damage such as a physical injury.
“Caution”, may incur injury and cause damage to peripheral objects

in the immediate surroundings.

Cautions for Safety

The WAT-2200 is designed to be used safely. If not used safely, it may lead to a
physical accident caused by fire and electric shock. Therefore, please keep and
read the, “Cautions for safety” below for protection against accidents.

• Do not disassemble and/or modify the WAT-2200.

• Do not operate the WAT-2200 with wet hands.

• Use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12V±

±±

±10%,

with a current capacity of more than 250mA

for the WAT-2200.

The recommended voltage is DC+12V±10%. Also, we advise the
Use of an “inline fuse” power line to protect the camera and
peripheral equipment, where applicable.

• Do not expose the WAT-2200 to wetness or high moisture

conditions.

The WAT-2200 is designed and approved for indoor use only. The
WAT-2200 is not water-resistant or waterproof. If the location of the
camera is outdoors or in an outdoor like environment, we
recommend that you use an outdoor camera housing.

• Protect the WAT-2200 from condensation.

Keep the WAT-2200 dry at all times during storage and operation.

• Should the camera not work properly, unplug the power

immediately. Then check the camera according to the “Problems
and Trouble shooting” section.

• Avoid the striking of hard objects or dropping the WAT-2200.

The WAT-2200 uses high quality electrical parts and precision
components and may inadvertently be damaged if not cared for
properly.

•

Do not connect any power supply directly to the video
out terminal of the unit.

Do not connect the WAT-2200 with any monitor using a video/
power single transmission terminal. The WAT-2200 utilizes
HD-SDI output and is not designed for use with this type of
equipment. We also advise you to read the operation manual of
the monitor you plan to use before any connections are made.

• Do not install the WAT-2200 in a position subject to direct

sunlight.

Sunlight shinning directly onto the WAT-2200 lens can cause
damage to the sensor.

• Select a stable place for installation of the WAT-2200.

Use an appropriately rated mount durable and strong for all
installation position.

• Do not move the WAT-2200 with the cables connected.

Before moving the WAT-2200, always remove the video cable and
power cable from the rear of the camera first.

• Avoid using the WAT-2200 near any XXX (“strong” deleted)

electro-magnetic field.

In the event of exposure to electromagnetic waves (causing the
monitored image to become distorted) we recommend the camera
be shielded by an appropriate protective casing.

Problems and Trouble Shooting

Trouble Shooting:

Disconnect the camera immediately should any of the following occur:

•

An optimal picture cannot be obtained, after checking that all the cables and
connections are correctly in place

•

Smoke or any unusual odor emerges from the WAT-2200

•

An object becomes embedded or a quantity of liquid seeps into the camera
housing

•

More than the recommended voltage or/and amperage has been applied to the
WAT-2200 by mistake

•

Anything unusual occurring to any equipment connected to the WAT-2200

Required Action:

①①①①Switch off the main power supply to the camera.

②Remove the power and video cables connected to the WAT-2200.
③Contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-2200 was purchased.

About EMC

authorized organizations in Japan.

FCC Part15 class B
EN61000-6-3/EN50130-4

※

Please use an auxiliary power supply (eg: UPS) to this camera to comply
with EN50130-4 of EMC standards.

Power Supply

Use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12V, with a current capacity of
more than 250 mA. Use the optional DC plug if the shape or polarity of the DC
plug of the power adaptor to be used is not compatible with the camera (See the
drawing below).

The wiring of the connector must be exact.
Be careful not to touch the other terminal while wiring.
Protect the wiring portion by using insulation tape or
shrink tubing after wiring.
To prevent inadvertent disconnection while in use, please
secure the connector to the power terminal on the camera
by turning “A” in the figure to the right in the clockwise
direction. If the above care and attention is not adhered to,
damage to the WAT-2200 and power adaptor may occur and may also cause fire.

Set-up and Operation

1) Ensure that the power to the WAT-2200 and the peripheral equipment is
turned off before making any connections.

2) Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-2200 and attach the CS-mount
lens. Use the optional C-mount adaptor (34CMA-R) when a C-mount lens is
used.

3) Connect the iris control cable to ⑥DC-IRIS SOCKET on the WAT-2200 when
a DC auto-iris lens is being used. If the aperture is not stable, please adjust by
using the camera setting adjustment software.

4) Connect ⑤VIDEO OUT on the WAT-2200 with the monitor, using a high­frequency coaxial cable with 75Ω impedance.

5) Insert the power plug of the power adaptor into ⑦POWER IN on the back
panel of the WAT-2200. Confirm that the power adaptor is not connected to
the power supply before insertion of the power plug into ⑦POWER IN.

6)

Turn on the power to the WAT-2200, monitor and all other allied equipment.
When a picture cannot be obtained on the monitor, or a problem occurs,
check and follow the procedure mentioned in the【Problems and Trouble
Shooting】section.

7) Adjust the focus and iris until optimal image clarity though the lens is
achieved. If the picture is still out of focus, open the iris fully and loosen
③CS Mount Set SCREWS with the hex wrench and move the lens forwards
until a fully focused and clear picture is obtained.

Manual Lens

Adjust the focus and iris to the best position on the
lens.

Motorized Zoom Lens

Back focus is required via CS Mount. Set Screw
adjustment as well as possible. Adjust the iris level on
the camera, then adjust the focus on the lens. See
below.

DC Auto-iris Lens

Adjust the iris level on the camera, then adjust the
focus on the lens. See below.

8) When detailed settings are required or a clear image is not obtained, connect
the remote control to ⑧REMOTE CONTROL TERMINAL, then set the
functions on the screen by ⑨OPERATION BUTTON

※Please connect the optional serial communication cable to ⑧REMOTE

CONTROL TERMINAL to change the camera settings with the software
if needed.
