 t  Mount  the  supplied  base  cover  on  the 
camera mount bracket.  
Important:
	 •	 To 	prevent 	the 	cables 	from 	being 	caught	
when the base cover is attached, keep the 
cables inside the cable guide. 
  y  Use  the  bit  for  tamperproof  screw  (acces-
sory)  to  tighten  the  fixing  screws  provided 
on both sides of the base cover.

x   Remove the enclosure and inner 
dome from the main body by loos-
ening the three fixing screws. 
    Loosen  the  three  fixing  screws  by  using 
the provided bit for tamperproof screw. 
    Detach  the  inner  dome  while  pushing  the 
parts with the "PUSH" indication. 
Important:
	 •	 Do	 not	hold	 the	inner	 dome	 when	carrying	
the  camera.  Otherwise,  the  camera  part 
may fall and it may damage the camera. 
Note:
	 •	 Perform	 the	same	 procedure	 when	replac-
ing  with  the  optional  dome  cover  WV-
CW4S. 
c    Secure the camera to the bracket 
with the camera fixing screw (red, 1 
position). 
Important:
	 •	 The	 camera	fixing	screw	 shall	be	securely	
tightened.  Otherwise,  water  exposure  may 
cause  damage  or  malfunction  of  camera, 
or  camera  dropping  may  result  in  injury. 
(Recommended tightening torque: 
    0.78 N·m)
v   Remove the screw (blue, 1 position) 
for transport protection with a 
Phillips screw driver. 
Press the parts with the 
PUSH indication.

Adjust the camera
z
   Be sure to view the monitor for adjustment when the camera angle is adjusted. \
    Connect  the  monitor  for  adjustment  (e.g.  a  small  LCD)  to  the  monitor  output  connector,  and 
adjust the camera angle. 
    When  determining  the  camera  angle,  repeat  fine  follow  the  adjusting  procedure  of  q, w,  and 
e shown below. 
  q Loosen the panning lock screw and rotate the camera head horizontally to adjust panning, 
and tighten the panning lock screw. 
  w Loosen  the  tilting  lock  screws  and  rotate  the  camera  head  vertically  to  adjust  tilting,  and 
tighten the tilting lock screw. 
  e Rotate the tilt adjusting table, and adjust the azimuth angle of the ima\
ge. 
Important:
	 •	 The	panning	lock	screw	and	the	tilting	lock	screw	shall	be	securely	tightened.	
    (Recommended tightening torque: 0.59 N·m)
Note:
	 •	 The	 video	output	 to	the	 BNC	 connector	 will	be	interrupted	 while	an	adjusting	 monitor	is	con-
nected to the monitor output connector.
	 •	 At	the	same	time	for	the	pan	and	tilt	adjustments,	make	focus	adjustments	of	Step	2.

x Adjusts the focus.
    Focus adjustment shall be performed when camera 
angle adjustment are performed. 
    Adjust  the  focus  by  following  the  adjusting  proce-
dure of q, w, and e shown below. 
  q Loosen  the  zoom  lock  knob  and  move  the 
knob  between  TELE  and  WIDE  to  obtain  the 
appropriate  angle  of  view,  and  then  tighten  the 
zoom lock knob. 
  w Loosen  the  focus  lock  knob,  make  coarse 
adjustment  of  the  focus,  and  then  tighten  the 
focus lock knob. 
  e Perform  major  adjustment  of  back  focus 
through  the  setup  menu  or  perform  major 
adjustment by following Steps 3 and 4 below (+ Operating Instructions (PDF)). 
Note:
	 •	 Reset	 the	back	 focus	 position	 to	the	 CS	mount	 default	 position	 before	the	back	 focus	 adjust-
ment. (Hold down the right and left buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds or more, or move the 
cursor  to  "MANUAL-ADJ"  of  "BACK-FOCUS  SETUP"  in  the  setup  menu  and  press  the  right 
and left buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds or more after pressing the setting button.)
c    Press the [ABF1] button after adjusting the view angle while viewing the m\
onitor 
for adjustment. 
    The ABF operation indicator (+ page 12) lights, the focus position is displayed in the lower part 
of the screen, and the back focus is automatically adjusted.

v   To perform fine adjustment of the back focus after the ABF operation indi\
cator 
goes off and automatic back focus is adjusted, use the right or left button. 
Note:
	 •	 No	operation	for	10	seconds	or	more	automatically	clears	the	focus	position	indicator.	
	 •	 To	 change	 the	angle	 of	view	 by	moving	 the	zoom	 adjustment	 ring,	also	move	 the	focus	 lock	
knob to adjust the focus. 
	 •	 The	 originally	 adjusted	focus	may	be	slightly	 off	depending	 on	the	 iris	state	 resulting	 from	the	
focal depth of the lens. In such a case, open the aperture by darkening the subject as much as 
possible in the same way of taking picture, and then adjust the focus. Defocus can be prevent-
ed. 
	 •	 Use	 of	"ABF"	 of	"BACK-FOCUS"	 in	the	 setup	 menu	 (+  Operating  Instructions  (PDF))  allows 
users to adjust the focus optimally in the range of the capability to automatically follow the vari-
ation in illuminance.
	 •	 The	 out-of-focus	 level	in	the	 near-infrared	 light	region	 may	be	higher	 than	that	in	the	 visible	 light	
region. 
    Setting  "C/L  ↔  B/W"  of  "BACK-FOCUS  SETUP"  to  "AUTO"  or  "PRESET"  in  the  setup  menu 
(+ Operating Instructions (PDF)) allows users to adjust the focus in both the near-infrared light 
and visible light regions (The variation in illuminance is not followed after focus adjust\
ment.).

b   Mount the enclosure and inner 
dome.
    Tighten  the  screws  that  have  been  loos-
ened  in  Step  2  in  page  22  using  the  sup-
plied driver bit.
    (Recommended tightening torque:  
0.78 N·m)
Important:
	 •	 Attach	 the	inner	 dome	 in	accordance	 with	
the lens direction to not to change the lens 
direction. 
	 •	 Check 	if 	the 	tabs 	of 	the 	inner 	dome 	are	
firmly fit. 
	 •	 Remove 	the 	cushioning 	(pink 	sheet) 	from	
the  inside  of  the  dome  and  the  protection 
sheet from the outside of the dome.
Note:
	 •	 Defocus	 may	be	caused	 by	the	 reinstalled	 enclosure.	 When	using	a	system	 controller	 (option),	
adjust  the  back-focus  on  the  setup  menu  after  attaching  the  enclosure.  (+  Operating  Instruc-
tions (PDF))
	 •	 When	 not	using	 a	system	 controller,	 by	using	 the	[ABF2]	 button	back-focus	 adjustment	is	avail-
able after attaching the enclosure. The procedure for the use of the [ABF2] button is as speci-
fied below. 
  q Press the [ABF2] button. → The ABF operation indicator will start blinking. 
  w While the indicator is blinking (for around 3 minutes), attach the enclosure to the camera. 
  e When the indicator changes to steady light, back-focus will be adjusted automatically. After 
the back-focus is adjusted, the indicator will go out. 
  * Do not aim the camera to objects continuously moving. 
  * If the indicator blinks again after changing to steady light, back-focus adjustment may have 
failed. In this case, check the back-focus on the LCD monitor. 
    To adjust the back-focus again, perform Step q to e again.

Waterproof treatment for the cable joint sections
Adequate waterproof treatment is required for the cables when the camera with exposed cables is 
installed by means of the camera mount bracket or it is installed under the eaves. The camera body 
is waterproof, but the cable ends are not waterproof. 
Be sure to use the supplied butyl tape at the connection parts of the power cord and video output 
cable  to  apply  waterproof  treatment  in  the  following  procedure.  Failure  to  observe  this  may  cause 
water leakage resulting in malfunction.

Stretch  the  tape  by  approx.  twice  (see  the  illustration  below)  and  wind  it  around  the  cable.  Insuffi-
cient tape stretch causes insufficient waterproofing. Note:
	 •	 To	 install	this	product	 outdoors,	 be	sure	 to	waterproof	 the	cables.	 The	camera	 body	is	water -
proof (IEC IP66 or equivalent) only when installation specified in this document and appropriate 
waterproofing are properly performed. The bracket is not waterproof. 
	 •	 The	cable	shall	be	wound	with	butyl	tape	in	a	half-overlapping	manner.

When using video output cable
Dobled length
Stretch the tape to about twice.

Important:
	 •	 If	 open	wiring	 is	conducted,	 be	sure	 to	use	 conduits	 and	run	the	cables	 inside	the	tubes	 to	pro-
tect the cables from direct sunlight. 
	 •	 When	 the	conduit	 is	connected	 at	the	 lateral	 or	bottom	 position,	 either	of	the	 arrow	 marks	 on	
the bracket shall be the top position.
	 •	 When	 the	conduit	 is	connected	 from	the	top,	 the	arrow	 mark	on	the	 attachment	 shall	be	either	
of the right or left position. 
    
    
	 •	 For	 installation	 on	the	 wall,	 do	not	 connect	 the	dehumidifying	 device	at	the	 upper	 side	to	pre-
vent water from being stored in the dehumidifying device. 
    If water remains inside, the dehumidifying device cannot function properly. 
	 •	 Installation	 work	shall	be	such	 that	there	 is	no	 intrusion	 of	water	 into	the	architecture	 through	
the conduits having been joined.
