Cautions for Safety
The WAT-910HX is designed to be used safely; however, if not used
safely, it may lead to a physical accident caus ed by fire and electric
shock. Therefore, please keep and read t he “Cautions for safety” below
for protection against accidents.
• Do not disassemble and/or modify the WAT-910HX.
•
Do not operate the WAT-910HX with wet hands.
•
Use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12V
10%, with a current capacity of more than 250m A for
the WAT-910HX.
The recommended voltage is DC+12V±10%
• Do not expose the WAT-910HX to wetness or high
moisture conditions.
The WAT-910HX is designed and approved for indoor use
only. The WAT-910HX is not water-resistant or waterpr oof.
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-910HX from condensation.
Keep the WAT-910HX dry at all times during storage and
operation.
• 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-910HX.
The WAT-910HX uses high quality electrical parts and
precision components.
• Do not connect any power supply directly to the video
out terminal of the unit.
Do not connect the WAT-910HX with any monitor using a
video/power single transmiss ion terminal. The WAT910HX is not designed for use with thi s type of
equipment. We also advise you to read the oper ation
manual of the monitor you plan to use bef ore any
connections are made.
• Do not install the WAT-910HX in a position subject to
direct sunlight.
Sunlight shinning directly onto t he WAT-910HX lens can
cause damage to the CCD.
• Select a stable place for installation of the WAT-910HX.
Use a support of durable strength around an i nstallation
position on a ceiling or wall when a cam era stand or tripod
is used.
• Do not move the WAT-910HX with the cables
connected.
Before moving the W AT-910HX, always remove the vide o
cable and power cable from the rear of the camera first.
• Avoid using th e WAT-910HX near any strong electro-
magnetic field.
After installing into main equipment, i f the WAT-910HX is
exposed to electromagnetic waves causing the monitored
image to become distorted, we recommend the c amera be
shielded by appropriate protect ive casing.
Problems and Trouble Shooting
If any of the following problems occur when using the WAT-9 10HX,
• An optimal picture cannot be obtained, after checking that all the
cables and connections are correct ly in place
• Smoke or any unusual odor emerges fr om the WAT-910HX
• An object becomes embedded or a quantit y of liquid seeps into the
camera housing
• More than the recommended voltage or/an d amperage has been
applied to the WAT-910HX by mi stake
• Anything unusual occurring to any equipm ent connected to the
WAT-910HX
Disconnect the camera immediately according t o the following
procedures:
①Switch off the main power supply to t he camera.
②Remove the power and video cables c onnected to the WAT-910HX.
③Contact the distributor or dealer fr om which the WAT-910HX was
purchased.
The WAT-910HX is in conform ity with EMC test standards carried out
by authorized organizations i n Japan.
E I A FCC Part15 class B
CCIR EN61000-6-3/EN50130-4
※Please use
an auxiliary power supply (eg: UPS) to this camer a to comply
with EN50130-4 of EMC standards.
Do not modify the WAT-910HX. A modified camera may
not conform to EMC test standards.
Using the contents figures below, check to make sure al l parts are
present before use.

Use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12V±10%, with a
current capacity of more than 250mA. Use the optional D C 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 drawi ng on the right below).
The wiring of the connector must be e xact.
Be careful not to touch the other terminal while
wiring. Protect the wiring porti on by using insulation
tape after wiring. If the above care and attentio n is
not adhered to, damage to the WAT-910HX and
power adaptor may occur and may also c ause fire.
Before connecting the auto-ir is lens, please make sure that t he pin

1) Ensure that the power to the WAT-910HX and the peripheral
equipment is turned off before making any c onnections.
2) Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-910HX and attach the
CS-mount lens. Use the optional C-mount adapt or (30CMA-R) when
a C-mount lens is used.
3) Connect the iris control cable to ⑤AUTO-I RIS SOCKET on the
WAT-910HX when an auto-iris lens is being used.
4) Connect ⑦VIDEO OUT on the WAT-910HX with the monitor, using
a coaxial cable with 75Ω impedance, such as an RG-59 or an
RG-6/U.
※Select a monitor with the same televis ion system as the WAT-
910HX EIA or CCIR. A monitor with more than 600TV lines is
recommended.

No change will occur if a video iris lens or manual
iris lens is fitted.
※ When an auto iris lens is used, set SHUTTER to 1/60 (1/50) , set
SENS UP to OFF and set AGC to OFF by ⑧OSD OPERATION
DIAL. Then adjust ③IRIS LEVEL VOLUME until an acceptable
light level is attained.

8) When detailed settings are required or an adequate image is not
obtained, set the functions on the screen by ⑧OSD OPERATION
DIAL.
