Operation Manual
This Operation Manual covers safety, camera functions, installation and the
correct operating procedure for the WAT-231S2. First, we ask you to read
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.
Guide to the Safety Symbols
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
may incur injury and cause damage to peripheral objects in the
immediate surroundings.
Cautions for Safety
The WAT-231S2 is designed to be used safely; however, it may lead to a
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-231S2.
•
Do not operate the WAT-231S2 with wet hands.
•
Use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12V
±
±
±
±
10%, with a current capacity of more than 250mA for the
WAT-902H2/3 SUPREME.
The recommended voltage is DC+12V
±
10%
•
Do not expose the WAT-231S2 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-231S2 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-
231S2.
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-231S2 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-231S2.
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-231S2 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-231S2 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.
Problems and Trouble Shooting
If any of the following problems occur when using the WAT-231S2,
•
An optimal picture cannot be obtained, after checking that all the cables
and connections are correctly in place
•
Smoke or any unusual odor emerges from the WAT-231S2.
•
An object becomes embedded or a quantity of liquid seeps into the camera
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:
①
Switch off the main power supply to the camera.
②
Remove the power and video cables connected to the WAT-231S2.
③
Contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-231S2 was
purchased.
