Optional Heater Unit WV-CW5H (option)
Installing  the  heater  unit  enables  the  camera  to  operate  in  a  low-temperature  environment  below 
–30 °C {–22 °F}. The heater turns on automatically when the temperature inside the camera drops 
below +10 °C {50 °F} and turns off when the temperature rises. A small fan inside the unit will mini-
mize  condensation  on  the  surface  of  the  enclosure  caused  by  changes  in  ambient  temperature 
unless temperatures change too rapidly.  Important:
	 •	 When	using	12	V	DC	power	supply,	the	optional	heater	unit	is	unavailable.	
	 •	 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	{14	 °F},	 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.
