Panasonic Color Cctv Camera Wv Cw964p Operating Instructions

							INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Warning:• Select a place that is strong enough for the
installation. If you install the camera on a ceiling or
wall, except for accidents caused by fault in the
camera, Panasonic holds absolutely no
responsibility for accidents caused by the camera
falling due to unsuitable installation. Take sufficient
care when installing the camera. If the installation is
not strong enough, be sure to sufficiently reinforce
the location and check that it is safe.
• To prevent the camera from falling, attach the
safety wire to the mounting bracket or the anchor
bolt before starting to install the camera to prevent
it from falling. 
• Always request installation work from a qualified
service person or system installer. Lack of technical
knowledge creates the risk of fire, electric shock,
personal injury, and material damage. 
■ Camera Installation Location 
Install the camera on a concrete ceiling or wall at a
location that is sufficiently strong to support it.
■ About ceiling mounts/brackets
Bolts for mounting the ceiling mount Attachment Pipe
to a ceiling or wall are not provided. You need to
purchase them separately in accordance with the
materials and strength of the place you are installing
the camera. 
■ This camera is designed for use in a hanging con-
figuration only. Using it in an upright or inclined
configuration can cause malfunction and shorten
the life of the camera.
■ Install the camera in a horizontal configuration,
with the dome pointed downwards. 
■ Never install or use the camera in the following
locations. 
• Near a swimming pool or other areas where
chemicals are used
• Food preparation areas and other locations where
there are large amounts of steam vapor and oil, in
flammable atmospheres, other special environments
• Areas where radiation, X-rays, strong electric
waves, or magnetism is generated 
• At sea, in coastal areas, or in areas where corrosive
gas is being generated 
• Areas outside of the allowable ambient operating
temperature range (-40 °C to +50 °C {-40 °F to 122
°F})
• In a motor vehicle, on a boat, or other areas subject
to strong vibration (This camera is not designed for
use in a vehicle.)  •
Near an air conditioner outlet or any areas subject to
sudden changes in temperature. (Such conditions
can cause clouding and condensation formation on
the dome cover.) 
■ Wiring power to the camera 
The camera does not have a power switch. During the
electrical work, configure the power supply to the
camera so it can be turned on and off. A self-cleaning
function is activated (PAN/TILT/ZOOM/FOCUS) when
the camera is turned on.
■ Noise interference considerations 
When using a power line that is greater than 120 V AC
and wiring that is longer than 1 meter, wiring should be
routed using a separate metal conduit. (The metal
conduit must be earth grounded.) 
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
controller, the cameras DIP switches must be
configured to specify the unit number and
communication parameters. (page 13) 
If DIP switch setting is not performed, the
system controller control will not be possible
and camera setup will have to be performed
again. Be sure to check the DIP switch settings
before setting up the camera . 
Note: If you need to connect a ground, be sure to do it
before you connect the main power. Also, when removing
the ground, be sure to disconnect the main power. 
■ 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 7, 10)
■ About the heater 
The camera comes with a built-in heater so it can be
used in cold regions. The heater automatically turns on
when the internal temperature goes below 10 °C {50
°F}. However, snow and frost that collect on the dome
cover may not melt if the temperature falls below -40
°C {-40 °F}. Care needs to be taken regarding the
ambient and internal temperature when using the
camera in cold regions.

							-12- ■About effects on image quality
The camera does not have a wiper. If the camera is
installed in the following conditions image quality may
deteriorate or the image may be invisible. 
(1) In the rain
The picture may be hard to see if the wind blows
rain onto the dome cover while it is raining. 
(2) In the snow
When it snows, snow may collect on the dome
cover and block some of the picture. (The amount
of snow that collects on the dome cover depends
on the quality and amount of the snow.) 
(3) Effects of dust and automobile exhaust 
Airborne dust and automobile exhaust, from the
location where the camera is installed, may cause
dirt to build up on the dome cover and reduce the
quality of the picture. 
■Important hints to help with the installation 
•A self-cleaning function is activated (PAN/TILT/
ZOOM/FOCUS) when the camera is turned on. 
•There is a limit to the number of devices that can be
put together in one configuration. Check the ratings
and outer dimensions before hooking up the
devices.

into the guide holes of the upper base.
•Turn the camera counter-clockwise to the
end, viewed from the bottom.
•Fasten 3 screws (the screws that were
removed in step (1) of “2. Disassembling the
Camera”).
Caution:Tighten the three (3) mounting screws
for the upper base. 
Recommended torque: Approximately 2.45
N/m {24 kgf cm}
Poorly tightened screws may result in water
leaking into the camera or possible fire.
3. Mounting the Bracket
(1) Fix the bracket to the installation surface using
appropriate bolts, nuts or the like (not supplied).
(2) Fix the attachment pipe to the bracket.
(3) Thread cables through the bracket. Connect
cables, referring to CONNECTIONS.
Warning:Seal the cables with plastic or rubber
tape to prevent it from being exposed. 
(4) Fix the upper base to the attachment pipe.
•Fasten 4 screws (the screws that were
removed in step (2) of 2. Disassembling the
Camera) making sure that REAR engraved
on the upper base faces the wall.
•Fill the gap between the bracket and
attachment pipe with waterproof material
such as silicon clay.See instructions of the
bracket for details.
Warning:Carefully apply the sealing so that
water or moisture cannot get inside. If water
gets inside the camera it could cause a
shock or fire. Also, if moisture gets inside the
camera it could cause the dome to become
foggy.

■Attach the front and rear sun
shields (provided) to the camera
1. Hold the front and rear sun shields by the
indentations on the rims and release the hooks from
both sides to separate them. 
A wire is attached to one side to prevent them from
being lost. 
2. Hold the front and rear sun shields near the Upper
Base in position to be mounted.3. Before clamping the sun shield, close the front and
rear sun shields (first latch the hook on the wire
side, and then do the other side). 
* Take care that the camera safety wire does not go
on the inside. 
4. Align the arrow (
Ü) on the rear sun shield with the
START arrow (Ú) on the sun shield and then turn
them to the “LOCK” arrow (Ú) until they click.  
5. Use the screws on the front/rear sun shields to
attach them to the camera. 
Note:To remove the front/rear sunshields from the
camera, do the above procedure in reverse. 
Caution:The camera safety wire is designed to allow
the camera to hang from it. Do not apply force greater
than the weight of the camera to the wire.
