Panasonic Color Cctv Camera Wv Cs574 Operating Instructions

							-11-
Important: 
Before setting up the camera for a configuration
where the cameras RS485 data port is used for
camera control (pan, tilt, etc.) by the system con-
troller, the cameras DIP switches must be con-
figured to specify the unit number and communi-
cation parameters. (This page) 
If DIP switch setting is not performed, the system
controller control will not be possible and cam-
era setup will have to be performed again. Be
sure to check the DIP switch settings before set-
ting up the camera.■Heat radiation
The surface of the camera radiates heat. Ventilation
holes should be provided when installing the camera in
an enclosed ceiling or confined location where heat can
build up. 
■Beware of high humidity.
If the camera is installed when humidity is very high,
moisture may collect in the camera and cause the
dome to become foggy. If the dome becomes foggy,
remove it when the humidity is low and eliminate the
moisture inside the camera, and then replace the
dome. (page 9)
Ventilation holes
DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
In a configuration where the cameras RS485 data port is used for camera control (pan, tilt, etc.) by the system con-
troller, the cameras DIP switches must be configured to specify the unit number and communication parameters. 
The camera mounting base needs to be removed to access the DIP switches. See steps 1 to 3 on page 16for infor-
mation about how to remove the camera mounting base.

lost.2. Rotate the camera base unit in the direction indicat-
ed by the arrow and remove it. 
3. Using the camera mounting base as a template,
mark the locations of the four mounting holes on the
ceiling. 
If you are using the top cable exit configuration,
mark the location of the cable hole on the ceiling
and drill the hole. 
4. Affix the camera mounting base onto the ceiling. 
Use screws (M4) at the locations you marked above
to secure the mounting base to the ceiling. 
If you do not plan to install the camera right away,
affix the dust protection sheet that comes with the
camera to the mounting base to keep dust off of it.
