•
Do not disassemble and/or modify the WAT 233.
•
Do not operate the WAT 233 with wet hands.
•
Use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12V±
±±
±10%,
with a current capacity of more than 250mA for the WAT 233.
The recommended voltage is DC+12V±10%
•
Do not expose the WAT 233 to wetness or high moisture
conditions.
The WAT-233 is designed and approved for indoor use onl . The
WAT-233 is not water-resistant or waterproof. If the location of the
camera is outdoors or in an outdoor like environment, we
recommend that ou use an outdoor camera housing.
•

Keep the WAT-233 dr at all times during storage and operation.
•
Should the camera not work properl , switch off the power
immediatel . Then check the camera according to the “Problems
and Trouble shooting” section.
•
Avoid the striking of hard objects or dropping the WAT 233.
The WAT-233 uses high qualit 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-233 with an monitor using a video/power
single transmission terminal. The WAT-233 is not designed for use
with this t pe of equipment. We also advise ou to read the
operation manual of the monitor ou plan to use before an
connections are made.
•
Do not install the WAT 233 in a position subject to direct
sunlight.
Sunlight shinning directl onto the WAT-233 lens can cause
damage to the CCD.
•
Select a stable place for installation of the WAT 233.
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 233 with the cables connected.
Before moving the WAT-233, alwa s remove the video cable and
power cable from the rear of the camera first.
•
Avoid using the WAT 233 near any strong electro
magnetic field.
After installing into main equipment, if the WAT-233 is exposed to
electromagnetic waves causing the monitored image to become
distorted, we recommend the camera be shielded b appropriate
protective casing.
Problems and Trouble Shooting
If any of the following problems occur when using the WAT 233,
• An optimal picture cannot be obtained, after checking that all the cables and
connections are correctl in place
• Smoke or an unusual odor emerges from the WAT-233
• An object becomes embedded or a quantit of liquid seeps into the camera
housing
• More than the recommended voltage or/and amperage has been applied
to the WAT-233 b mistake
• An thing unusual occurring to an equipment connected to the WAT-233
Disconnect the camera immediately according to the following procedures:
①Switch off the main power suppl to the camera.
②Remove the power and video cables connected to the WAT-233.
③Contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-233 was purchased.

Set up and Operation
1) Ensure that the power to the WAT-233 and the peripheral equipment is
turned off before making an connections.
2) Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-233 and attach the CS-
mount lens. Use the optional C-mount adaptor (34CMA-R) when a C-mount
lens is used.
3) Connect the iris control cable to ④AUTO-IRIS SOCKET on the WAT-
233 when an auto-iris lens is being used.
4) Connect ⑥VIDEO OUT on the WAT-233 with the monitor, using a
coaxial cable with 75Ω impedance, such as an RG-59 or an RG-6/U.
If the monitor has an S-terminal, high resolution imaging is possible b
connecting with ⑧Y/C OUT.
※The ⑧Y/C OUT can be used together with the ⑥VIDEO OUT.
※Select a monitor with the same television s stem as the WAT-233 NTSC or
PAL. A monitor with more than 700TV lines is recommended.
5) Insert the power plug of the power adaptor into ⑨POWER IN on the
back panel of the WAT-233. Confirm that the power adaptor is not connected
to the power suppl before insertion of the power plug into ⑨POWER IN.
6) Turn on the power to the WAT-233, monitor and all other allied
equipment. When a picture cannot be obtained on the monitor, or a problem
occurs, check and follow the procedure mentioned in the【Problems and
Trouble Shooting】section.
7) After following the procedure below and the picture is still out of focus, open
the iris full and loosen ③FINE FOCUS ADJUSTMENT SCREWS with the
hex. wrench and move the lens forwards until a clear picture is obtained.
