Operation Manual

This Operation Manual covers safety, camera functions, installation and the
correct operating procedure for the WAT-400D. First, we ask you to read this
Operation Manual thoroughly, then install and operate the WAT-400D as
advised. In addition, for future reference, we also advise safe keeping of this
manual.

Please contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-400D was
purchased, if you do not understand the installation, operation or safety
instructions laid out in this manual. Not understanding the contents of the
Operation Manual sufficiently may cause damage to the camera.

Guide to the safety symbols

The meanings of the symbols used in this operation manual are:

When you do not adhere to or take notice of the “Danger” sign, it
may lead to a serious accident such as death or injury caused

Dange r

by fire or electric shock.

When you do not adhere to or take notice of the “Warning” sign,

Warni ng

it may cause severe damage such as a physical injury.

When you do not adhere to or take notice of the “Caution” sign,
it may incur injury and cause damage to peripheral objects in the

Cauti on

immediate surroundings.

Cautions for safety

The WAT-400D is designed to be used safely; however, electrical goods
may lead to a physical accident caused by fire and electric shock if not used
correctly. Therefore, please keep and read the “Cautions for safety” for
protection against accidents.

• Do not disassemble and/or modify the WAT- 400D.

Dange r

•

Warni ng

Cauti on

Do not operate any current-carrying part with wet hands.

• Use only the AD-156 with the WAT- 400D

• Do not use the WAT- 400D under unusual environmental

conditions.

The WAT-400D is specified as waterproof. However, the
WAT-400D is not compliant with dust-proof and explosion­proof standards.

• Should the camera not work properly, switch off 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- 400D.

The WAT-400D uses high quality electrical parts and
precision components.

• The WAT-400RX must be used with the WAT-400D.

Connect the WAT-400RX with the AD-156, monitor, and the
WAT-400D.

• Do not install the WAT- 400D in a position subject to direct

sunlight.

Sunlight shinning directly onto the WAT-400D lens can cause
damage to the CCD.

• Select a stable place for installation of the WAT- 400D.

Use a support of durable strength around an installation
position on a ceiling or wall when a camera stand or tripod is
used.

• Do not move the WAT- 400D with the cables connected.

Before moving the WAT-400D, always remove the video
cable and power cable from the rear of the camera first.

.

• Avoid using the WAT- 400D near any strong

ielectromagnetic field.

Avoid emission sources of electromagnetic waves when the
WAT-400D is installed into main equipment.

• Dry the WAT- 400D well after use.

When the WAT-400D is used in seawater, flush well with pure
water, and then wipe. If the WAT-400D is steeped in water for
many hours or left without wiping after use, the surface of the
WAT-400D may become white.

EMC Conformity

The WAT-400D is in conformity with EMC test standards carried out by
authorized organizations in Japan.

NTSC FCC Part15 class B

P A L EN61000-6-3 / EN50130-4

Dange r

Do not modify the WAT-400D. A Modified camera may not
conform to EMC test standards.

Waterproof Conformity

The external body of the WAT- 400D is in conformity with the following
waterproof standard.

※Waterproof capability of the WAT-400D is confirmed according to the

above conditions. This waterproof standard does not cover the quality of
the operation under unusual condition.

JIS C 0920 (IEC60529)
Degrees of protection provided by enclosures: IPX8

t(Water pressure: 2kgf/cm2, Test time: 2 hours)

For ④VIDEO OUT/POWER IN, this part is not included in the

Cauti on

compatible range of the waterproof standard. Treat the
connecter area for waterproofing if needed.

Problems and Trouble Shooting

If any of the following problems occur when using the WAT- 400D,

•

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-400D.

•

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-400D by mistake.

•

Anything unusual occurring to any equipment connected to the WAT-400D.

Disconnect the camera immediately according to the following
procedures:

①Switch off the main power supply to the camera.
②Remove the power and video cables connected to the WAT-400D.
③Contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-400D was

purchased.

Check to make sure all parts are present before use.

Receiver (WAT- 400RX)

WAT- 400D AC adaptor (AD-156)

Description of parts

①VIDEO OUT (MONITOR)

・・・・BNC for connecting with the monitor. Use a cable with 75Ω impedance,

such as RG-58/U.

②POWER IN (POWER IN)
・・・・The terminal for connecting the AD-156.

③BNC for connection of the WAT-400D (CAMERA)

・・・・BNC for connecting with ④VIDEO OUT/POWER IN.

④VIDEO OUT/POWER IN

・・・・The BNC coaxial cable for video out and power in.

⑤BRACKET MOUNTING SCREWS

・・・・The screws for mounting the bracket to the camera.

⑥BRACKET

・・・・The bracket for fixing to the camera.

⑦TRIPOD MOUNTING SCREW HOLES

・・・・Mounting holes for stands. The size of these threads are 1/4”, 20 threads,

4.5±0.2mm, which is the same as any standard camera tripod (U1/4”).

⑧HOUSING MAIN BODY
・・・・This case is uses aluminum and is given alumite treatment

⑨FRONT GLASS (Tempered glass)
・・・・Dirt, water or oil deposits on the front glass will cause an unclear picture

on the monitor and scratches might become permanent damage. Do not
dismount the front glass.

Set-up and Operation

1) Ensure that the power to the WAT-400D and the peripheral equipment
is turned off before making any connections.

2) Connect the BNC ④VIDEO OUT/POWER IN of the WAT-400D to

③BNC to the WAT-400RX. When extending the cable beyond 10 meters,
use a coaxial cable with 75Ω impedance, such as an RG-58/U.
The maximum cable length is 200m using RG-58/U.

3) Connect ①VIDEO OUT (MONITOR) on the WAT-400RX with the
monitor, using a coaxial cable with 75Ω impedance, such as an
RG-58/U. Select a monitor with the same television system as the

WAT-400D: NTSC or PAL. A monitor with more than 500TV lines is
recommended.

4) Connect the attached AC adaptor (AD-156) to ②POWER IN on the
WAT-400RX.

5) Turn on the power to the WAT-400D, monitor and all other allied

equipment. When a picture cannot be obtained on the monitor, check

and follow the procedure mentioned in the【Problems and Trouble
Shooting】section.

6) When a change of installation position is required, set ⑥BRACKET
to your required position after removing ⑤ BRACKET MOUNTING
SCREWS from the WAT-400D, then retighten ⑤BRACKET MOUNTING
SCREWS firmly. Angular settings for ceiling and wall are also available.
