PREFACE
The Panasonic Camera Drive Unit WV-PS11B is spe-
cially designed to drive specified cameras such as WV-
BP70 or WV-CP100.
This simple system is specially designed for surveil-
lance and security needs at offices, factories, schools,
hospitals, public or residential buildings, etc.
FEATURES
• Stable DC power is supplied to the specified cam-
era by a regulator in the camera drive unit.
• A single coaxial cable connects the specified cam-
era and camera input of the camera drive unit.
• Three signals, video, DC power and vertical drive
pulses, are carried by a single coaxial cable (used
with the WV-BP70 or WV-CP100 camera.).
• Audio signals can be transmitted from the speci-
fied camera to the camera drive unit (used with the
WV-CP100 or WV-CF20 camera.).
• VD/SYNC input and output connectors for synchro-
nizing in the parallel operation.
• Built-in protection circuit protects the appliance in
case of wrong connection.

PRECAUTIONS
• Do not block the ventilation opening or slots on the
cover to prevent the appliance temperature from
rising.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the appliance.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Handle the appliance with care.
Do not abuse the appliance. Avoid striking, shak-
ing, etc. It could be damaged by improper han-
dling or storage.
• Do not expose the appliance to rain or moisture.
Avoid trying to operate it in wet areas.
Take immediate action if ever the unit becomes
wet. Turn the power off and refer servicing to quali-
fied service personnel. Moisture can damage the
appliance, and cause danger due to electric
shock.
• Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the appliance body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the unit when dirty. In case
the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and
wipe gently.
• Do not drop any metallic parts through slots.
This action could damage the appliance perma-
nently. Turn the power off immediately and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Use the appliance under conditions where temper-
atures are within –10°C - +50°C (14°F - 122°F), and
humidity is below 90%. The input power source is
120V AC 60 Hz.
Do not operate the appliance in an extreme envi-
ronment where is out of its specified temperature or
humidity range, or power source ratings.

qPower On/Off Switch (POWER, ON/OFF)
This switch is used to turn the camera drive unit
and connected specified camera power on or off.
The indicator lights up when the power of the cam-
era drive unit is on.
wCamera Input Connector (CAMERA IN)
This connector accepts either a color or B/W com-
posite video signal from the specified camera. It
also supplies DC power and vertical drive pulses
or synchronizing signals to the camera, and
receives video and audio signal from the camera.
eVideo Output Connector (VIDEO OUT)
The video signal of the specified camera is provid-
ed at this connector for input into the video monitor.
rAudio Output Connector (AUDIO OUT)
The audio signal of the specified camera is provid-
ed at this connector for input into the video monitor
(used with the WV-CF20 or WV-CP100 camera.).
tVD/SYNC Input Connector (VD/SYNC IN)
The VD (Vertical Drive) pulse or VS (Video Sync)
signal is supplied to this connector for synchroniz-
ing the system.
yVD/SYNC Output Connector (VD/SYNC OUT)
The VD (Vertical Drive) pulse or VS (Video Sync)
signal is provided at this connector for synchroniz-
ing other system component.

CONNECTIONS
Cautions:
• Set the POWER switch of the camera drive unit to OFF (l) during connections. If the power of the camera drive
unit is ON during connections, the protection circuit that protects it in case of wrong connection will operate and
prevent the camera from functioning.
• Connect only a specified camera, WV-BP70, WV-CF20 or WV-CP100. If another camera is connected, the cam-
era drive unit will not operate due to activation of the protection circuit.

1. Connect the coaxial cable between the camera
and CAMERA IN connector of the camera drive
unit. The approximate maximum cable length is as
follows:
Coaxial DC R/1000 ft. of Maximum
Cable Type Inner Conductor Cable Length
RG-59/U Less than 30 Ω200 m (660 ft.)
RG-6/U Less than 12 Ω500 m (1650 ft.)
The maximum DC resistance of the cable between
the camera and camera drive unit is 20 Ω.
2. Connect the coaxial cable between the video moni-
tor and VIDEO OUT connector of the camera drive
unit. The approximate maximum cable length is as
follows:

Note:
If the length of the coaxial cable between the
camera drive unit and the video monitor
exceeds the distance shown in the above
table, a cable loss compensator should be
used between the camera drive unit and the
video monitor.
3. After connecting the specified camera to the cam-
era drive unit, connect the audio cable between the
monitor and AUDIO OUT connector of the camera
drive unit.
