Optional Heater Unit WV-CW5H (option)
Installing  the  heater  unit  enables  the  camera  to  operate  in  a  low-temperature  environment  below 
–30  °C.  The  heater  turns  on  automatically  when  the  temperature  inside  the  camera  drops  below 
+10  °C  and  turns  off  when  the  temperature  rises.  A  small  fan  inside  the  unit  will  minimize  conden-
sation on the surface of the enclosure caused by changes in ambient temperature unless tempera-
tures change too rapidly.  Important:
	 •	 When	using	12	V	DC	power	supply,	the	optional	heater	unit	is	unavailable	(WV-CW504).	
	 •	 Turning	the	heater	on	and	off	may	disturb	the	camera	images.	
	 •	 The	power	supply	of	the	camera	shall	be	turned	off	when	mounting	or	dismounting	the	heater.	
    When servicing, pay attention to high temperature on the surface of the heater unit. Disconnect 
the harness and wait until the heater unit cools. 
	 •	 When	 the	camera	 is	installed	 and	operated	 in	low	 temperatures	 below	–10	°C,	normal	 images	
may not be obtained immediately after startup. In such a case, wait approxilately 60 minutes or 
more. 
How to install the heater unit
  q  Remove the camera’s enclosure and mount it in the specified position with the supplied screw. 
  w  Connect the heater unit cable to the connector of the camera. 
Important:
	 •	 After	 mounting	 the	heater	 unit,	arrange	 the	harness	 cable	as	shown	 in	the	 drawing	 so	as	not	 to	
be tangled around the enclosure, safety wire, and equipment inside the camera.
