Unit Number Setting
A rotary switch is placed on the front panel. It specifies the WJ-MP204C unit number in a PS•Data protocol system, or camera
unit numbers in a Camera Communication Protocol system.
8Setting the unit number
1  Turn off the power switch of the unit.
2  Use a screw driver to rotate the UNIT switch so that the arrow comes to the number you wish.
3  Turn on the power switch.
Notes:
• The unit number can be specified in the setup menu when the UNIT switch is set to 0.
• Position #9 is not allowed to be set, because it is reserved.
• Specify a unique number for each unit when connecting more than one unit in a data communication chain.
DIP Switch Setting
A 6-bit DIP switch mounted on the rear panel specifies communication mode and sync setup. The default position is marked
with an asterisk * in the table below.
Bit 1 specifies the setup for synchronization. Refer to page 23 VS/VD IN and OUT for details. 
Bit 2 is reserved.
Bit 3 specifies the communication protocol used in the system.
Bit 4 is reserved.
Bit 5 specifies the termination in the communication chain. 
Bit 6 specifies RS-485 communication mode conducted via DATA port or RS-485 terminal. Set it to 4-line when PS

used.

Address Assignment
Alarm/Remote Terminal Setting
The rear of the unit is provided with an 11-pin terminal, ALARM/REMOTE.
Pins from #1 to #5 perform as follows.
Pin #1 supplies an active output for the duration specified by the ALARM OUTPUT in the setup. 
The output type is a low-active open collector with a capacity of 16 V DC, 100 mA maximum.
Pin #2 accepts an alarm reset pulse (input) that makes the unit reset the alarm mode. 
A no-voltage make-contact is accepted.
Pin #3 supplies an alarm reset pulse (output) when the unit resets the alarm mode.
The output type is 0 V (active)/5 V for the default setting, or a low-active open collector with controllable capacity of 16 V
DC, 100 mA maximum after changing an internal switch (SW 704).
Pin #4 accepts a spot switching pulse (input) from other units in a multi-unit connection.
A no-voltage make-contact is accepted.
Pin #5 supplies a spot switching pulse (output) to other units when the unit selects a new camera channel in a multi-unit
connection. 
The output type is a low-active open collector with a capacity of 16 V DC, 100 mA maximum.
Pins #6 to #9 are used in many ways depending on the menu settings and the internal connector settings. If internal adjust-
ments are required, please refer to the Service Manual available for this unit.

8Alarm input 
Available when TERMINAL is set to ALARM and TERM. ALARM is set to ON in the setup, and the internal connector remains in
the default position (CN703, ALM IN): 
Pin #6 accepts CH 1 alarm input from the connected sensor.
Pin #7 accepts CH 2 alarm input from the connected sensor.
Pin #8 accepts CH 3 alarm input from the connected sensor.
Pin #9 accepts CH 4 alarm input from the connected sensor.
8Alarm output
Available when TERMINAL is set to ALARM and TERM. ALARM is set to ON in the setup, and the internal connector is
changed to CN702 (ALM OUT): 
Pin #6 supplies CH 1 alarm output when the connected camera detects video motion (VMD) in the image. 
Pin #7 supplies CH 2 alarm output as above.
Pin #8 supplies CH 3 alarm output as above.
Pin #9 supplies CH 4 alarm output as above.
8Spot switching input
Available when TERMINAL is set to REMOTE in the setup, and the internal connector remains in the default position (CN703,
ALM IN):
Pin #6 accepts the switching signal that changes the spot output image to CH 1.
Pin #7 accepts the signal to switch image to CH 2.
Pin #8 accepts the signal to switch image to CH 3.
Pin #9 accepts the signal to switch image to CH 4.
8Spot switching output
Available when TERMINAL is set to REMOTE in the setup, and the internal connector is changed to CN702 (ALM OUT):
Pin #6 supplies a tally output while CH 1 is selected.
Pin #7 supplies a tally output while CH 2 is selected.
Pin #8 supplies a tally output while CH 3 is selected.
Pin #9 supplies a tally output while CH 4 is selected.
Internal Setting
The following functions can be set with internal connectors and switches when you need to change default settings marked
with *. Refer to the Service Manual for internal settings.
• ALARM/REMOTE terminal definition (In*/Out) ............... CN702, CN703
• Alarm reset signal input (0V-5V*/O.C) ........................................ SW704

Notes:
• Use a data grade, shielded and twisted cable suited to
RS-485. The maximum allowable cable length is 4 000
ft (1 200m).
• Termination should be made at both ends of the data
line, while being open at intermediate devices.

Prior to setup
Confirmation
1. Connections and switch settings are complete.
2. Switch on the power of the connected system devices
including the monitor that displays the menus.
3. Turn on the power of the WJ-MP204C. 
4. When setting at the camera site, remove the front cover
from the unit to make access possible to the buttons on
the front panel.
5. When setting with use of a WV-CU360C System
Controller, confirm that the OPERATE indicator is lit on
the Controller, meaning that the unit is ready for opera-
tion. 
To open or close the setup menu 
1. Hold down the SETUP/ESC button on the front panel for
2 seconds. Image display will change to the menu win-
dow on the monitor, or vice versa. 
2. When using a WV-CU360C, hold down the SETUP but-
ton on the controller for 2 seconds. The setup menu will
open or close.On the window, you can select and enter the parameter
using buttons. A sub menu will open when a line having
a [return  ] mark at its end is selected. 
Buttons used in the setup
The following buttons are used in the setup. Operations on
the following pages are explained on the assumption that
the front panel buttons on the WJ-MP204C are used. Check
below which WJ-MP204C front panel buttons are equivalent
to the buttons on the WV-CU360C.
•Data Multiplex Unit WJ-MP204C
[C] button:Moves the cursor downward.
[D]:Moves the cursor upward.
[–]:Decreases the parameter value.
[+]:Increases the parameter value.
[SET]:Validates the selected parameter, or opens a
sub menu when [ ] appears.
[ESC]:Returns the menu to a higher layer.
