Notes:
•An optional cooling fan attached inside the unit is
subject to wear. It needs to be replaced periodical-
ly.
Keep the temperature in the rack below 45 °C
(113 °F) at any time. 
•If the rack is subject to vibration, secure the rear of
the appliance to the rack by using additional mount-
ing brackets (procured locally).
■Installing the Multiplexer Board
To use WJ-HD100 Series or a time-lapse VCR as a
recorder, you need to install a multiplexer board inside the
matrix switcher. Refer to the multiplexer board’s operating
instructions for how to install.
INSTALLATIONS
WARNING
The installations described in the figures should be
made by qualified service personnel or system
installers.
■ Mounting into the Rack
The matrix switcher can be mounted into the rack as
described.
1. Remove the four rubber feet by unwinding the four
screws on the bottom of the matrix switcher.
2. Place the rack mounting brackets on both sides of the
matrix switcher and tighten with the four supplied
screws (M4 X10).
3. Install the matrix switcher in the rack with the rack
mounting brackets secured with four screws (procured
locally).

Connect non-multiplex type cameras to the CAMERA IN
connectors 1 to 16. For cameras equipped with RS-485
communication facilities, connect the RS-485 cable as fol-
lows.
Check the camera addresses when using RS-485 cameras.
Operations from the system controller will be invalid if the
camera addresses are set improperly.
•Use addresses from 1 to 16 for individual cameras.
•Do not set the same address for more than one camera
in an RS-485 chain.
•Before connecting the RS-485 camera(s) to DATA 1, 2
and/or 3, configure the system through WJ-SX150
Administrator Console.■ Connection with the Camera Sites
Connect the data-multiplex type cameras (or camera site
equipment) to the CAMERA IN connectors 1 to 16 on the
matrix switchers rear panel.
Notes:
•Make sure that the cable length is less than 900 m
(3 000 ft) between the camera site and the unit when
using RG-59/U, BELDEN 9259 or equivalent cables. 
•If you use locally procuring cables, it is important to use
only a data-grade cable, which is suitable for RS-485
communication (shielded 2-wire twisted cable). 
•When the cable length is extended, cable compensa-
tion is available. (Refer to pp. 60 and 78.)

■ Connections for RS-485 Type Camera
There are two options to connect the camera with the matrix
switcher, depending on the distance between them. 
One is Home Run wiring and the other is daisy chain
wiring. Home Run wiring has the transmission stability with
less transmission loss, and daisy chain wiring has connec-
tion flexibility with less data ports occupied. For data-multi-
plex type cameras, 900 meters (3 000 ft) is the limit to use
coaxial cable such as RG-59/U, BELDEN 9259 or equiva-
lent.
Note: If more distance is required, use cameras and
matrix switcher with RS-485 communication feature.
Remote control becomes possible.
●Home Run Wiring
1. Connect with a RS-485 camera in Home Run wiring as
shown in the figure.
2. Set the LINE SELECT switch to 2 or 4.
Notes:
•Before connecting RS-485 cameras to DATA1 to 3, data
port setting through WJ-SX150 Administrator Console is
necessary. (Refer to p. 81 Data Port.)
•Recommended for RS-485 communication is AWG#22
or thicker one. The cable should be shielded, two-wire,
twisted pair, and with low impedance.
•Set the LINE SELECT switch to 4 when programming
preset position of WV-CSR600/650 Series camera is
connected to the unit.●Daisy Chain Wiring
1. Draw up a plan for connection between the cameras
and the input channels of the matrix switcher, and the
assignment of unit addresses to cameras.
2. Set the LINE SELECT switch to 2. Also, set the connect-
ed devices switch if required.
3. Connect one end of the cable to RS-485 (CAMERA),
and the other end to the first camera in the chain, as
shown in the figure. Repeat this procedure for all cam-
eras. 
4. Set the termination switches of the cameras at the chain
ends to ON. Cameras termination switches must be set
to OFF except the ones at the chain ends.
Notes:
•Set the same number for the cameras unit address as
and CAMERA IN.
•Check the settings of the camera addresses when
using RS-485 cameras. Operations from the system
controller will be invalid if the camera addresses are set
improperly.
•Do not use addresses other than 1 to 16 for individual
cameras (More than 17 cameras are not allowed).
•Do not set the same address for more than one camera
in an RS-485 chain.
•Termination is the key to data transmission and recep-
tion in the chain. While the other switches are set to
OFF, only the switches at the chain ends must be set to
ON.
•The termination of this units RS-485 camera port is
always set to ON. Connect the unit at the end of the
daisy chain.
•The more equipment there is in the chain, the slower
the response may be.

ated to Unit 1 to 4.

							■ Connection with the Alarm Sensors
Connect the sensor switches to the units alarm port, as
shown in the example.
Notes:
•Alarm inputs that are simultaneous or with very short
intervals will be ignored.
Allow for at least 100 ms interval from one alarm input to
the next.
•Confirm the alarm sensor type (N.O. or N.C.) and con-
figure the system through SETUP MENU (OSD) or WJ-
SX150 Administrator Console.
The factory setting is N.O.
N.O.:Normally Open alarm contact
N.C.:Normally Closed alarm contact
•The alarm pin assigned to the time adjust (TIME) termi-
nal cannot be used as an alarm input terminal.

units rear panel with the modular cable.
Notes:
•Up to four system controllers are connectable.
•Connect them in home run.
•In the factory default setting, the DATA 4 port is a
PS·Data terminal. To connect a terminal-mode system
controller to this port, you need to change the data port
setting through SETUP MENU or WJ-SX150
Administrator Console. (Refer to pp. 60 or 81.)

●To Confirm the Images from a Recorder
Connected to the Unit
The following is the description of the connection between a
recorder and this unit to confirm the images from the
recorder.
1. Set the unit address of the recorder to 1. Then, confirm
that the recorder’s CAMERA GENLOCK is set to OFF in
its SETUP MENU. (Refer to the recorders operating
instructions.)
2. Connect the unit’s CAM OUT 1 to 16 connectors to the
recorder’s VIDEO IN 1 to 16 connectors with a coaxial
cable.
3. Connect the unit’s EXT IN connector to the recorder’s
MULTI SCREEN OUT connector with a coaxial cable.
4. Connect the unit’s DATA HDR connector to the
recorder’s DATA port with a modular cable.
(The control data and alarm signal will be output from
the unit to the recorder.)
5. After the connection, set the unit’s EXT IN to GENLOCK
ON through SETUP MENU or WJ-SX150 Administrator
Console (Refer to pp. 60 or 66).

■Connection with the Alarm Output
Pins #10, 11, 23 and 24 (open collector) turns to 0 V while
the alarm is activated. These terminals can drive external
warning devices such as a buzzer or lamp of up to 100 mA,
16 V DC. If the rating exceeds 100 mA, 16 V DC use a relay
as shown in Example 2.
Alarm signals are output from the terminals until the reset.
