PREFACE
A single CCD chip is employed in the Panasonic
WV-BL200/WV-BL204 closed circuit TV camera to
provide a wide array of benefits to the user.
Since the charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor
eliminates bulky tubes, the camera is extremely
compact and lightweight.
The CCD camera has superb resistance to burn-in,
introduces no geometric distortion, is not affected by
magnetic fields, has long life, and is highly resistant to
damage from vibration and shock.
This camera has been specially designed for surveil-
lance, security, and observation of special and dan-
lightweight,
gerous locations where a compact,
highly reliable camera is needed.
FEATURES
oO
1/2 inch Interline CCD image sensor with 577(H)
x 581(V) pixels.
420 lines of horizontal resolution.
0.5 lux of minimum scene illumination at F1.4,
2856° K
48 dB of signal to noise ratio.
Either optional standard C-mount or special
C-mount (CS mount) Auto Iris Control lens can be
used with. |
Selectable internal sync (INT) or line-lock sync
(LL) mode,
Gen-lock capability with a composite video signal
(VS (Video and Sync)).
Selectable automatic gain control
(Max. gain up : approx. 12dB) or OFF.
Selectable Auto Iris Control signal for the lens
either a video signal or DC control signal.
(AGC) ON

PRECAUTIONS
1.
-Turn power off and
Do not attempt to disassemble
the camera.
To prevent electric shock, do
not remove screws or cover.
There are no_ user-serviceable
parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.
. Handle this camera with care.
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid
striking, shaking it. The camera
could be damaged by improper
handing or storage.
. Do not expose the camera to
rain or moisture, avoid operation
in wet areas.
Do take immediate action if the
camera should becomes wet.
request
servicing to qualified service
personnel. Moisture can damage
the camera and also create the
danger of electric shock.
4. Never aim the camera at the sun.
Whether the camera is in use or
not, never aim it at the sun or an
extremely bright object as this
could cause smear.
5. Do not use the camera beyond its temperature,
humidity or power source ratings.
(a) Designed for indoor use.
Ambient temperature must not range beyond
—30°C - +60°C.
Avoid using the camera when humidity is
above 90%.
The input power source
must be 240V AC 5bOHz f
for WV-BL200/A and ‘
WV-BL200/B, 220V AC
50Hz for WV-BL200/C
and WV-BL200/G_ or
24V AC 50Hz for WV-
BL204.

1 Automatic Iris Lens (Option)
2 Camera Mounting Screw Hole
This threaded hole (1/4’’ - 20) is used to mount
the camera onto a mounting bracket or tripod.
Auto Iris Level Control (ALC LEVEL, L(low)/
H (High))
This control adjusts the controt level of the auto
iris control when the lens selection switch (8) is
set to the DC position and the auto iris lens
which requires the DC control voltage such as
WV-LA12B2 etc., is mounted on the camera.
Note: Adjust this contro! while setting the AGC
ON/OFF Switch to OFF position.

Note : When the Lens Selection Switch (8) is set
to VIDEO position, the auto iris control
level should be adjusted by the lens.
AGC ON/OFF Switch (AGC ON/OFF)
This switch is used to select the gain of the video
amplifier as follows;
ON: When the lens iris is fully open at low
light shooting, a clear picture is obtained
by automatic increase of the gain.
OFF: A natural and low-noise picture is obtain-
ed at low light shooting.

Connector (11).
DC: Choose this position when the auto iris
control lens requiring DC control
signal such as WV-LA4.5, WV-LAG,
WV-LA12, WV-LA18, WV-LA36, WV-
LA6B2, WV-LA12B2 etc., is mounted
on the camera.
Choose this position when the auto iris
control lens requiring video signal such
as WV-LA8B, WV-LA16B,WV-LA25B,
WV-LA5OB etc., is mounted on the
camera,

Power Cord
AC 24V In Terminal Strip
Accepts AC 24V power source (19.5V - 28V).
Be sure to connect grounding lead to the GND
terminal,
To prevent fire or shock hazard, the UL
listed wire VW-1, style 1007 should be used
for the cable for AC 24V Input Terminal.

Auto Iris Lens Connector
Supplies the power and either. the video signal or
DC control signal to the Auto Iris Lens.
The 4-pin connector for the lens which originally
has different type of connector is a standard
accessory (Part No. YFE4191J100).
Power Indicator
Gen-lock Termination Switch
(G/L 750hms, ON/OFF)
When looping through the gen-lock video input
signal, set this switch to OFF position and all
other cases, set this to ON position.
SYNC Selection Switch (INT, LL)
This switch is used to select the camera synchro-
nization mode,
INT : When no signal is supplied to the GEN-
LOCK connector, the camera synchro-
nization mode is set to internal 2:1
interlace,

Whenever the GENLOCK video signal is
supplied to the GENLOCK connector,
the camera synchronization mode _ is
automatically set to external synchro-
nization.
LL:
The
camera
synchronization
mode
is
set
‘to

for
gen-lock
operation.
Flange-back Adjusting Ring
Used to adjust the back focus or picture focus by
rotating this ring to clockwise for C-mount lens or
counterclockwise for special C-mount (CS mount)
lens,
CAUTION: 1. Always set this ring to fully clock-
wise before mounting the lens.
2. Do not turn this ring too much
to counterclockwise when the C-
mount lens is mounted as this
could damage the inner glass CCD
image sensor,

CONNECTION
Power Cable
Keep the camera power switched OFF during in-
Sstallation.
A. WV-BL200
1. Connect the AC Power Cord (9) to a 50Hz
electrical outlet 220V or 240V AC.
B. WV-BL204
1. A power supply of 24V AC 50Hz is required.

Te
Use a video monitor whose resolution {s at least
equal to the camera’s.
Terminate the camera output with 75-ohm
resistor at the furthest end of its cable run.
A. Use 75-ohm coaxial cable, (RG-59/U,
RG-6/U, RG-11/U, RG-15/U)
B. Always set the last monitor's termination
switch to 75 ohms, and set the termination
switches of intermediate monitors to HIGH
(Hi-Z).
