Panasonic Color Cctv Camera Wv Cf224ex Operating Instructions

							2. Preparations
• When planning to use a junction box, pro-
cure one locally that meets the dimensions
in the figure. 
• When directly mounting on the wall/ceiling,
prepare a space which is ø135 mm {ø5-
5/16} or larger.
3. Cable route
• When using a junction box, cables will go
behind the junction box via the cable
access hole on the camera panel.
• When directly mounting on the wall/ceiling,
you need to cut out the panel cover to
make a sideway exit for cables.Installation Plans & Preparations
The camera can be installed on a junction box
or directly on the wall/ceiling.
1. Locally procure four camera-mounting
screws suitable for the installation surface
and structure of the wall/ceiling or junction
box.  There are four 4.5 mm {3/16} diame-
ter screw holes  and a guide hole on the
camera panel.

PREFACE
The WV-CF224EX is a 1/4-inch CCD color cam-
era designed for use in video surveillance sys-tems. The camera features a high picture quali-
ty thanks to the use of digital signal processing
LSIs, and easy  mounting on the ceiling or wall.
1.This product should be installed and con-
nected by qualified service personnel or
system installers in conformity with NEC.
2.Use a class 2 power source supplying 12 V
DC or 24 V AC.
3.To prevent fire or electric shock hazard,
use a UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) to
connect the power supply to the camera.
4.Be sure to use a ceiling board/wall having
enough strength to support this camera. 
5. Do not attempt to disassemble the
camera.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove
screws or covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Ask qualified service personnel for servic-
ing.
6. Handle the camera with care.
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking,
shaking, etc. The camera could be dam-
aged by improper handling or storage.7. Do not expose the camera to rain or
moisture, or try to operate it in wet
areas.
This product is designed for indoor use or
locations where it is protected from rain
and moisture.
Turn the power off immediately and ask a
qualified service personnel for servicing.
Moisture can damage the camera and also
create the danger of electric shock.
8. Do not use strong or abrasive
detergents when cleaning the camera
body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera body
when it is dirty.
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a
mild detergent and wipe gently.
Afterwards, wipe off the remained part of
the detergent in it with a dry cloth.
9. Clean the lens faceplate with care.
Do not clean the lens with strong or abra-
sive detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton
tipped applicator and ethanol.

INSTALLATION
The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equilateral trian-
gle, is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated dan-
gerous voltage within the products
enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The serial number of this product may be found on
the surface of the unit.
