Panasonic Color Cctv Cameras Wv Cl920a Operating Instructions

							-11- !4Alarm Output Terminal (ALARM OUT/GND)
Connects to the alarm input connector (terminal) of
an external device. When the camera detects
motion, the alarm output signal is supplied to the
connected external device (Open collector output:
16 V DC, 100 mA max).
!5Day/Night Input Terminal (DAY/NIGHT IN/GND)
This terminal is used for connecting the camera to
an external day/night detecting sensor.
!6AC Inlet Socket
Plug the power cord (supplied as a standard
accessory) into this socket and connect it to an AC
outlet.
!7AC/DC Compatible Input Terminal
(DC 12V IN/AC 24V IN, GND)
This terminal is for connecting the 12 V DC or 24 V
AC power supply cord.Caution:Connect to 12 V DC (10.8 V-16 V) or 24 V
AC (19.5 V-28 V) class 2 power supply only. Be
sure to connect the grounding lead to the GND
terminal when the power is supplied from a 24 V
AC power source.

A. WV-CL920A (120 V AC 60Hz)
1. Plug the AC power cord (supplied as standard
accessory) into the AC Inlet Socket.
2. Connect the AC power cord to a 120 V AC 60 Hz
outlet.
Notes:
•Connect the power cord firmly.
•The power cord should be long enough for panning
and tilting.
If the cable is too short, the power cord plug may
be pulled off the camera when the camera pans or
tilts.
B. WV-CL924A (12 V DC/24 V AC)
Cautions:
1. Connect to 12 V DC (10.8 V - 16 V) or 24 V AC
(19.5 V - 28 V) class 2 power supply only.  Be sure
to connect the grounding lead to the GND terminal
when the power is supplied from a 24 V AC power
source.
2. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL
listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) for the Input
Terminal.
3. The connections should comply with National
Electrical Code (NEC).
The WV-CL924A has an AC/DC compatible input termi-
nal. The 12 V DC or 24 V AC power supply cord can beconnected to this terminal. The camera detects the
power source automatically.
1. 12 V DC Power Supply
Connect the power cord
to the AC/DC compatible
input terminal on the rear
panel of the camera.

Caution for Mounting the Lens
The lens mount should be a CS-mount (1”-32UN). In
case of a C-mount, it should be a C-mount adapter and
the lens weight should be less than 450 g(0.99 lbs). If
the lens is heavier, both the lens and camera should be
secured by using the supporter.
The protrusion at the rear of the lens should be as
shown below:
CS-mount: Less than 4 mm (5/32”)

Mounting the Lens
Caution:
Before you mount the lens, loosen the fixing screw
on the side of the camera, and rotate the flange-
back adjusting ring counterclockwise until it stops.
If the ring is not at the end, the inner glass or CCD
image sensor may be damaged.
1. Mount the lens by turning it clockwise on the lens
mount of the camera.
2. Connect the lens cable to the auto iris lens connec-
tor on the side of the camera. 
						

							The following adjustment should be made by qualified
service personnel or system installers.
1. Loosen the screw on the side of the camera.
2. Turn the flange-back adjusting ring to the desired
position.
Note:Adjusting a focus in the visible rays may be
soft-focused with the near-infrared light.
