Operation Manual
This Operation Manual covers safety, camera functions, installation and the
correct operating procedure for the WAT-600CX. First, we ask you to read
this Operation Manual thoroughly, then install and operate the WAT-600CX
as advised. In addition, for future reference, we also advise safekeeping of
this manual.
Please contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-600CX 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-600CX 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-600CX.
•
Do not operate the WAT-600CX with wet hands.
•
Use only the AD-156 with the WAT- 600CX set
.
•
Do not use the WAT- 600CX under unusual environmental
conditions.
The WAT-600CX is designed and approved for indoor use only.
The WAT-600CX is not water-resistant, dustproof, or
explosion proof. 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-600CX from condensation.
Keep the WAT-600CX 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-
600CX.
The WAT-600CX uses high quality electrical parts and
precision components.
•
The WAT-400RX must be used with the WAT-600CX.
Only the WAT-400RX should be attached to the WAT-600CX
BNC terminal. Connecting a monitor directly to this terminal
will not provide a picture.
•
Do not install the WAT-600CX in a position subject to
direct sunlight.
Sunlight shinning directly onto the WAT-600CX lens can
cause damage to the CCD.
•
Select a stable place for installation of the WAT-600CX.
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-600CX with the cables connected.
Before moving the WAT-600CX, always remove the cable(s)
from the rear of the camera first.
•
Avoid using the WAT-600CX near any strong
electromagnetic field.
After installing into main equipment, if the WAT-600CX 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-600CX,
•
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-600CX
•
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-600CX by mistake
•
Anything unusual occurring to any equipment connected to the WAT-
600CX
disconnect the camera immediately according to the following
procedures:
①
Switch off the main power supply to the camera.
②
Remove the cable(s) connected to the WAT-600CX.
③
Contact the distributor or dealer from which the WAT-600CX was
purchased.

Maximum cable length for operation of the WAT-600CX depends on which
lens is used. For example, 100m is the maximum cable length for the
WAT-600CX when an auto-iris lens with a current consumption of 50mA
is applied.
Wiring Diagram
The following diagram is the basic connection of the WAT-600CX, WAT-
400RX, AD-156 and monitor.
Set-up and Operation
1)
Ensure that the power to the WAT-600CX and the peripheral equipment
is turned off before making any connections.
2)
Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-600CX and attach the
CS-mount lens. Use the optional C-mount adaptor (30CMA-R) when a
C-mount lens is used.
3)
Connect the iris control cable to
⑤
AUTO-IRIS SOCKET on the WAT-
600CX when an auto-iris lens is being used.
4) Connect
⑨
VIDEO OUT/POWER IN of the WAT-600CX to the
“CAMERA” connection terminal of the WAT-400RX. Use a coaxial cable
with 75
Ω
impedance, such as an RG-58/U. The maximum cable length
for the WAT-600CX attached to a manual iris lens is 150m using an
RG-58/U cable.
5)
Connect the VIDEO OUT (MONITOR) on the WAT-400RX to the video
signal input terminal of a monitor using a coaxial cable with 75
Ω
impedance, such as an RG-58/U.
※
Select a monitor with the same television system as the WAT-600CX:
NTSC or PAL. A monitor with more than 600TV lines is recommended.
※
Do not connect the WAT-600CX or the WAT-400RX with any monitor
using a video in/power out single transmission terminal. The
WAT-600CX and the WAT-400RX are not designed for use with this
type of equipment and receiving power through a monitor will cause
damage to both the WAT-600CX and the WAT-400RX.
6) Connect the attached AC adaptor (AD-156) to the POWER IN connector
of the WAT-400RX.
7) When a monitor test of the camera angle of view and functional settings
at the location is required, connect

8)
Turn on the power to the WAT-600CX, monitor and all the other allied
equipment. When a picture cannot be obtained on the monitor, check
and follow the procedure mentioned in the “Problems and Trouble
Shooting” section.
