this Operation Manual thoroughly, then install and operate the WAT-231S2
as advised In addition, for future reference, we also advise safekeeping of
this manual
Please contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-231S2 was
purchased, if you do not understand the installation, operation or safety
instructions laid out in this manual Not understanding the contents of the
Operation Manual sufficiently may cause damage to the camera

The definitions of the symbols used in this operation manual are:
When you do not adhere to or take notice of the “Danger” sign, it
may lead to a serious accident such as death or injury caused by
fire or electric shock
When you do not adhere to or take notice of the “Warning” sign,
it may cause severe damage such as a physical injury
When you do not adhere to or take notice of the “Caution” sign, it

Cautions for Safety
The WAT-231S2 is designed to be used safely; however, it may lead to
physical accident caused by fire and electric shock if not used correctly
Therefore, please keep and read the “Cautions for safety” below for
protection against accidents
• Do not disassemble and/or modify the WAT-23 S2.
• Do not operate the WAT-23 S2 with wet hands.
• Use only the AD90 - 20/230 or equivalent power adaptor
for the WAT-23 S2.
The recommended voltage is DC+12V±10%
• Do not expose the WAT-23 S2 to wetness or high moisture
conditions.
The WAT-231S2 is designed and approved for indoor use only
The WAT-231S2 is not water-resistant or waterproof 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-23 S2 from condensation.
Keep the WAT-231S2 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-
23 S2.
The WAT-231S2 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-231S2 with any monitor using a
video/power single transmission terminal The WAT-231S2 is
not designed for use with this type of equipment We also
advise you to read the operation manual of the monitor you
plan to use before any connections are made
• Do not install the WAT-23 S2 in a position subject to direct
sunlight.
Sunlight shinning directly onto the WAT-231S2 lens can cause
damage to the CCD
• Select a stable place for installation of the WAT-23 S2.
Use a support of durable strength around an installation
position on a ceiling or wall when a camera stand or tripod is
used
• Do not move the WAT-23 S2 with the cables connected.
Before moving the WAT-231S2, always remove the video
cable and power cable from the rear of the camera first
• Avoid using the WAT-23 S2 near any strong electro-
magnetic field.
After installing into main equipment, if the WAT-231S2 is
exposed to electromagnetic waves causing the monitored
image to become distorted, we recommend the camera be
shielded by appropriate protective casing

housing
• More than the recommended voltage or/and amperage has been applied
to the WAT-231S2 by mistake
• Anything unusual occurring to any equipment connected to the
WAT-231S2
Disconnect the camera immediately according to the following procedures:
①Switch off the main power supply to the camera
②Remove the power and video cables connected to the WAT-231S2

12) Correction of white blemish by ⑯WHITE BLEMISH CORRECTION
BUTTON The WAT-231S2 is manufactured using high-grade CCD
devices that are selected by tough standards by the manufacturer
However, it is impossible to prevent the white blemishes from occurring
after shipment because the white blemish phenomena can be caused
by cosmic rays The WAT-231S2 has a white blemish correction circuit
to help control the white blemish phenomena Correct according to the
following procedures, if white blemishes are present
[PROCEDURE]
1 Completely cover the lens to prevent light entering
2 Set to MWB or PWB by ⑦WHITE BALANCE MODE SELECTOR
3 Set to AGC ON by ⑬FUNCTION SWITCHES
4 Press the ⑯WHITE BLEMISH CORRECTION BUTTON using a fine
stick or piece of wire
5 After 5 seconds, the white blemishes are automatically detected, and
then recorded to the camera
[ATTENTION]
1) Make sure that the lens is completely shielded from light before
correction of the white blemishes If the lens is not covered properly
and light can enter into the lens on to the CCD face, the correction of
the white blemish may not be detected correctly
2) Make sure that ⑦WHITE BALANCE MODE SELECTOR ”MWB or
PWB” is selected If any other position is selected; the data cannot
be saved to the camera
