PRODUCT WARRANTY AND REPAIR
WARNING
The Sidewinder series of IP66/IP67 rated cameras provide a fully sealed, moisture free
environment for the internal electronic and mechanical components. If the camera
housing cover or seals become compromised due to being struck by objects or damaged
during handling, the cameras should be taken out of service IMMIDIATELY, so that the
camera can be returned to WTI for repair. This will help prevent further EXPENSIVE
internal corrosion damage from occurring. Below are some examples of Damage that will
compromise the sealing integrity of the camera.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Sidewinder SW720 24VAC Series is a pan-tilt-zoom camera system that provides
standard definition or High Definition 720p/1080p color video over 75 Ohm video
coaxial cables. The camera provides 360 degree continuous rotation in both the pan and
tilt axes, and provides an optical zoom magnification of 36 times in the standard
definition model and 20 times or 30 times in the high definition model. A self-cleaning
hydrophilic coating is provided on the front lens window of the camera to ensure clear,
crisp video images and to reduce maintenance. An electrically conductive Indium-Tin-
Oxide coating is provided on the inside of the front lens window to heat it and prevent
fogging.
The Sidewinder SW720 series of 24VAC cameras operates on AC power within a
voltage range of 18VAC to 30VAC measured at the camera and an operating frequency
of 47Hz to 63Hz. Power, control and video signals are brought out of the side of the
camera on an 18 Pin MS style male connector.
Camera PTZ control is implemented using an RS-485 serial data port which supports
several industry standard camera control protocols, including Pelco D protocol and
COHU protocol. Standard definition models are provided with an NTSC 1Vpp video
output. High definition models are provided with 3 75 Ohm 1Vpp analog video outputs in
Y-Pb-Pr format.
The Sidewinder SW720 series of 24VAC cameras are also available with an electric
brake option to hold the camera in position during transport.

INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDED TOOLS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION
1) Tie wraps to secure cable runs.
2) Set of open end wrenches including 7/16” for mounting bolts.
3) Cordless power drill for mounting some brackets.
4) Safety cable recommended (prevents camera falling during overhead
installations).
5) Self-sealing connector tape to weatherproof all cable connections.
INSTALLATION PLANNING
1) The maximum cable length that should be planned for is
2) The Sidewinder SW720 camera draws up to 50 Watts maximum, which translates
to about 3.0 Amps at the low line voltage limit of 18VAC. The maximum cable
run using 4 x #20 power wiring is 150 feet.
3) Be sure to verify that there are no physical obstructions that might prevent the
camera from turning freely in all directions.
4) Be sure to verify that there are no physical obstructions in the way of any required
viewing directions.

DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING
MECHANICAL DIMENSIONS
Side Egress
SW720 Series 24VAC WTI ~ Page 11 of 26

MOUNTING
The Sidewinder SW720 camera should normally be mounted in an upright orientation, as
shown above. The camera may also be mounted upside down if desired, but a cover of
some sort should be placed over the bottom of the camera, extending out to about 6
inches past the camera all around, to prevent debris, dirt or snow and ice from
accumulating on the bottom of the camera housing, since the conical shaped profile of the
camera will no longer be able to naturally shed material to the sides. The camera may
NOT be mounted with the base facing horizontally.
Figure 2
The base of the Sidewinder SW720 camera has four 5/16-18 screw holes that are equally
spaced, 90 degrees apart, on a 4.75” diameter circle, as shown in figure 2. If mounting
screws other than those provided with the camera are used, the length of the mounting
screws should be selected so that the screws penetrate no more than 0.75 inches into the
base.

MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
WTI manufactures several different mounts for the Sidewinder SW720 that allow the
camera to be attached to pole tops, horizontal poles, vertical poles and walls.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
AC POWER CONNECTIONS
The AC Power connections should be connected to a low impedance source with a
nominal voltage of 24VAC, operating at a frequency of 47Hz to 63Hz. The camera will
operate within the range of 18VAC to 30VAC measured at the camera MS connector
with the camera operating. The camera draws 50 Watts maximum, which translates to
about 3.0 Amps at the worst case low line voltage of 18VAC. Careful attention should be
given to the power wiring to avoid excessive voltage drop, which will result in unreliable
operation of the camera.
The 24VAC power connections require the use of heavier gauge wiring and shorter cable
lengths than a similar 120VAC model, as the 24VAC camera model draws approximately
5 times as much current through the cable wiring, due to the reduced operating voltage.
Four power connection terminals are provided on the MS connector to allow paralleled
power wiring. Cable runs of up to 150 feet require paralleled #20 AWG wiring
(equivalent to #17 AWG) for reliable operation. Longer runs should use correspondingly
larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the cables. Runs of 300 feet can use
#14 AWG wiring and runs of 500 feet can use #10 AWG or #12 AWG wiring.
ANALOG VIDEO CONNECTIONS
The Standard Definition camera model provides a 1Vpp NTSC compatible video output
with a 75 Ohm drive impedance on Pins L and A of the 18 pin MS connector (see wiring
chart).
The video outputs for the High Definition HD and HD30 720p/1080p camera model are
1Vpp with a 75 Ohm drive impedance in Y-Pb-Pr format.
PTZ SERIAL CONTROL PORT
An RS-485 port is provided on the SW720 camera for PTZ and other camera control
functions. There are internal 120 Ohm termination resistors for both the TX and RX
signal pairs. The factory shipped default state for the 120 Ohm terminations is for both
the TX and RX terminations to be enabled. Applications that involve multiple cameras on
the same RS-485 communications lines will require that the terminations on all cameras
but one be turned off.
