the camera.wTurn the flange-back adjusting ring to the
desired position.
Caution:When the C-mount lens is mounted,
do not rotate the ring counterclockwise
by force after it stops. If the ring is rotat-
ed by force, the inner lens or CCD image
sensor may be damaged.
eTighten the focus fixing screw on the side of
the camera.
Caution:Tightening the screw by force will
cause damage to the screw or deviation
of focus.

Caution:
To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use
a UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) for the
DC 12 V or AC 24 V Input Terminal.
Cautions:
• Connect to 12 V DC (10.5 V-16 V) or 24 V
AC (19.5 V-28 V) class 2 power supply
only. Make sure to connect the grounding
lead to the GND terminal when the power
is supplied from a 24 V AC power source.
• To prevent fire or electric shock hazard,
use a UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007)
for the DC 12 V or AC 24 V Input
Terminal.

MAJOR OPERATING CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
qALC Lens Connector
Supplies power and control signals to an auto
iris lens (not supplied).
wFlange-back Adjusting Ring
This ring adjusts the back-focal distance or
picture focus. Rotate this ring clockwise for a
C-mount lens or counterclockwise for a CS-
mount lens.
eLens (option)
rMount Adapter
The camera mounting screw hole is for
mounting the camera onto a mounting brack-
et.  The camera is originally designed to be
mounted from the bottom, however, a top-
mounting type is also available. To mount
from the top, remove the mount adapter from
the bottom of the camera by removing two
fixing screws. Attach the mount adapter to
the top as shown in the diagram, then mount
the camera on the mounting bracket. Make
sure that two original screws are used when
mounting the mount adapter; longer type
screws may damage inner components, too
shorter type screws may cause the camera
drop.
tFocus Fixing Screw
yPower Cord (only for WV-CP240EX)
Connect this power cord to an electrical out-
let of 120 V AC 60 Hz.

CP244EX)
Selects the camera synchronization mode as
either internal sync mode (INT) or line-lock
mode (LL).
INT:Sets to internal 2:1 interlace.
LL:Sets to Line-lock mode.
!0Back Light Compensation Mode Selector
[BLC ON, OFF]
Lets you select the mode according to the
position of the object and light conditions on
the screen.ON:Select this mode when a strong light
such as a spotlight is in the background.

era.
!3Lens Drive Signal Selector [VIDEO, DC]
Lets you select the mode according to the
type of auto iris lens drive signal to be sup-
plied to the lens from the auto iris lens con-
nector.
VIDEO:Select this mode if you are using a
auto iris lens that requires a video drive
signal.
DC:Select this mode if you are using a auto
iris lens that requires a DC drive signal.
!4Video Output Connector [VIDEO OUT]
This connector is for connecting with the
VIDEO IN connector of the video monitor.
Whenever the multiplexed vertical drive (VD2)
signal is supplied to this connector, the cam-
era synchronization mode is automatically set
to Vertical Drive. 4. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents
when cleaning the camera body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera 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.
5. Clean the CCD faceplate with care.
Do not clean the CCD with strong or abrasive
detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped
applicator and ethanol.
6. Never face the camera towards the sun.
Do not aim the camera at bright objects.
Whether the camera is in use or not, never
aim it at the sun or other extremely brightobjects. Otherwise, blooming or smear may
be caused.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond its
specified temperature, humidity or power
source ratings.
Use the camera under conditions where tem-
perature is between –10 °C - +50 °C {14 °F -
122 °F}, and humidity is below 90 %.
The input power source is 120 V AC 60 Hz for
WV-CP240EX, 12 V DC for WV-CP242EX, and
