• Signal processing: Automatic Light Control (ALC),
Automatic Gain Control (AGC), Automatic Tracing
White Balance (ATW), etc.
• Synchronization: Internal, Line-Lock, (only when
24 V AC or 220 V - 240 V AC supplied) and
Multiplexed Vertical Drive (VD2)
• Minimum illumination: 1.0 lx (0.1 foot-candle) at
WIDE

1. This product should be installed and connected by
qualified service personnel or system installers in
conformity with local codes.
2. Use a class 2 power source supplying 12 V DC or
24 V AC.
3. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL
listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) to connect the
power supply to the camera. (WV-CW244FE)
4. Be sure to use a ceiling board/wall having enough
strength to support this camera.
5. Handle the camera with care.
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking,
etc. The camera could be damaged by improper
handling or storage.
6. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera body when
dirty.
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild deter-
gent and wipe gently. Afterwards, wipe off the
remaining detergent with a dry cloth.
7. Clean the lens faceplate with care.
Do not clean the lens with strong or abrasive deter-
gents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator
and ethanol.
8. Never face the camera towards the sun.
Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether
the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun
or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise,
blooming or smear may be caused.
9. Do not operate the camera beyond its specifica-
tions.
Use the camera under conditions where tempera-
ture is between –10 °C to +50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F),
and humidity is below 90 %. The input power
source for WV-CW240S is 220 V - 240 V 50 Hz, and
for WV-CW244FE is 24 V AC 50 Hz or 12 V DC.
10. Use a monitor whose resolution is at least equal to
that of the camera.

INSTALLATION
■Installation Plans & Preparations
●WV-CW244FE
“F” stands for flush mounting. This model can be
installed on the wall or ceiling prepared with a 95 mm
diameter hole.
1. Space
Prepare a space larger than ø160 mm.
2. Flush-mount hole
Drill a hole having a 95 mm diameter on the wall or
ceiling.
3. Attachment fixing screws
Locally procure four screws (M4) that are suitable
for the installation surface to fix the attachment on
the surface.
4. Cable route
Cables will go behind the wall or ceiling.
