PREFACE
The WJ-FS616C Video Multiplexer is designed to multiplex
the field signals from video cameras and record the camera
images on a time lapse VCR.
Up to 16 cameras can be connected to the unit for monitor-
ing images in multiscreen, sequence, freeze or electronic
zoom mode on a video monitor screen.
The WJ-FS616C Video Multiplexer allows you to control
camera functions such as lens focussing, zooming, and iris,
positioning of the pan/tilt head, etc. This makes the system
highly flexible and sophisticated, and allows expansion to
up to 64 cameras.
FEATURES
• The images of any connected camera can be displayed
on full screen or on a 4, 7, 9, 10, 13 and 16 multiscreen
as shown below.
(7, 10 and 13 multiscreens are not available for play-
back images.)
In addition, one playback image can be displayed with
camera images in 4, 7, 10 and 13 multiscreens.
• The pattern of a spot sequence consisting of up to 32
steps can be programmed by presetting the channel
order and individual dwell time.
The pattern of a 4, 7, 9, 10, 13, or 16 multiscreen
sequence consisting of up to 5 steps can be pro-
grammed as shown below.
• Electronic zoom and freeze image functions are avail-
able. The zoom area can be selected with the direction
buttons.
• Up to 16 camera images multiplexed by the field rate
are available at the REC OUT connector for recording
on the time lapse VCR. Alarm priority recording is sup-
ported.
• Camera functions such as pan/tilt, lens zoom, focus
and iris, and camera setup can be controlled via a
coaxial cable or RS-485 interface.
• The WJ-FS616C has a versatile alarm mode to optimize
its multiscreen output, spot output, and record output.
• REC, PLAY, REW, FF, etc. can be controlled from the
front panel of the video multiplexer, via the RS-232C
interface or the wired remote control terminal of the
Panasonic Time Lapse VCR.
• The WJ-FS616C can be controlled from a PC or the WV-
CU550C and WV-CU360C System Controller via RS-
232C or RS-485 interface.

■Mounting into the Rack
The video multiplexer can be mounted into the rack as
described below.
1. Remove the four rubber feet by removing the four
screws on the bottom of the video multiplexer.
2. Place the rack mounting brackets on both sides of the
video multiplexer and tighten with the four supplied
screws (M4 X10).
3. Install the video multiplexer with the rack mounting
brackets in the rack securing it with four screws (pro-
cured locally).
Cautions:
• The cooling fan inside the video multiplexer is sub-
ject to wear and needs to be replaced periodically.
• Do not block the ventilation opening or slots on the
cover to prevent the appliance from overheating.
Always keep the temperature in the rack within 45˚C
(113˚F).
• If the rack is subject to vibration, secure the rear of
the appliance to the rack by using additional mount-
ing brackets (procured locally).

For cameras equipped with RS-485 communication
facility, connect the RS-485 cable as follows.
Note: If you use cables assembled from locally pro-
cured materials, it is important that only high quality,
data grade cable, suitable for RS-485 communica-
tion (shielded 2-wire twisted pair cable) is used,
BELDEN 9406 or equivalent.
Low grade cable will result in unstable operation of
the system.
Check the settings of the camera addresses when
using cameras capable of RS-485 communication.
Operations from the multiplexer will not work if the cam-
era addresses are set improperly.
• Do not use addresses other than 1 through 16 for
individual cameras (“17” is not allowed.)
• Do not set the same address for more than one
camera in an RS-485 chain.
■Connection with the Camera Sites
Connect cameras (or camera site equipment) data mul-
tiplexed type to the CAMERA IN connectors 1 through 4
on the rear of the video multiplexer.
Note: Make sure that the cable length between the
camera site and the WJ-FS616C video multiplexer
is less than 900 m (3 000 ft) when using RG-59/U,
BELDEN 9259 or equivalent cables.
Connect none multiplexed type cameras to the CAM-
ERA IN connectors 5 through 16.
Note: If you need to change input channels from the
none multiplexed type to multiplexed, install the
WV-PB6164 Data Multiplex Boards for the corre-
sponding channels inside the video multiplexer. For
installations, see page 12.

■Connections for RS-485 type camera
There are two options to connect the camera with the
multiplexer, depending on the distance between them.
For data multiplexed type cameras, a maximum dis-
tance of 900 meters (3 000 ft) is the limit for using coax-
ial cable such as RG-59/U, BELDEN 9259 or equivalent.
If more distance is required, use cameras and multi-
plexer with RS-485 communication feature. This will
lower signal loss and extend the distance as video sig-
nal and data are transmitted separately.
Note that you need to set up the communication port as
described on page 42 when using the RS-485 feature.
Note: Recommended for RS-485 communication is
shielded, two-wire, twisted pair, low impedance
cable, AWG#22 or thicker.
(1) Connect with a RS-485 camera in “Home Run” wiring as
shown below, then set the LINE SELECT switch to “2” or
“4”.
(2) Connect cameras in a Daisy Chain
1. Draw up a plan for connection between the cameras
and the input channels of the video multiplexer, and the
assignment of unit addresses to cameras.
Cautions:
Check the settings of the camera addresses when
using cameras capable of RS-485 communication.
Operations from the multiplexer will not work if the cam-
era addresses are set improperly.
• Do not use addresses other than 1 through 16 for
individual cameras (“17” is not allowed).
• Do not set a single address for more than one cam-
era in an RS-485 chain.
2. Set the LINE SELECT switch of the multiplexer to “2”.
Also set the switch of the connected equipment if
required.
3. Connect one end of the cable as shown to the RS-485
terminal of the multiplexer, and the other end to the first
camera in the chain. Repeat this procedure for all cam-
eras to the end of the chain.
4. Set the termination switches of the multiplexer and cam-
eras at both ends of the chain to ON position.
Termination switches of cameras not at the chain ends
must be in OFF position.
Cautions:
• Termination is the key to data transmission and
reception in the chain. Only the switches at the
chain ends must be set to ON, while the other
switches are set to OFF.
• Response may slow gradually the higher the equip-
ment number in the chain.

■Connection with Alarm Sensors
Connect the sensor switches to the ALARM/REMOTE port on the rear of the video multiplexer as shown in the example
below.
Notes:
• Alarm inputs simultaneously or at very short intervals will be ignored. Allow for an interval of at least 100 ms from one
alarm input to the next.
• Connect Pin#5, Alarm/Remote Select Input to Pin#12, GND.
■Connection with External Remote Control Switches
Connect the switches (dry contact or open collector input) to the ALARM/REMOTE port on the rear of the video multiplexer
as shown in the example below.
Notes:
• Pin#6, Sequence SW for Spot Output and the Pin#8, Alarm Recover Input can also accept DC voltages of 5 V (high
level) and 0 V (low level) besides the switch contact signals.
The multiplexer recognizes falling edge (high to low transition) as an input.
• Pin#5, Alarm/Remote Select Input must be open.
