Insert/remove an SD memory card (WV-SF549/WV-SF539 only)
IMPORTANT:
	 •	 Before	inserting	the	SD	memory	card,	turn	off 	the	power	of	the	camera	first.	
	 •	 When	inserting	an	SD	memory	card,	make	sure	the	direction.	
	 •	 Before	 removing	 the	 SD	 memory	 card,	 select	 "Not	 use"	 for	 "SD	 memory	 card"	 on	 the	 [SD	 memory card] tab of the setup menu first. Turn off the power after "Not use" selection, and then 
unload the SD memory card. When the SD memory card is inserted or removed with the power 
on, data in the SD memory card may be damaged. 
   (☞ Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM))

Connection
Before starting the connection, turn off the power of this camera and the devices to be connected. 
Check and prepare the required devices and cables for connection. Note:
	 •	 Since	 the	 connector	 storage	 section does not have a suffi-
cient space, use audio cables 
and a LAN cable that do not 
exceed the sizes described in 
the illustrations.
 
z Connect the RCA pin cable to the monitor out connector for adjustment (\
only used for adjust-
ment of the angular field of view).
IMPORTANT:
	 •	 The	monitor	out	connector	for	service	is	provided	only	for	checking	the	adjustment	of	the	angu- lar field of view on the video monitor when installing the camera or whe\
n servicing. It is not pro-
vided for recording/monitoring use. 
	 •	 When	checking	the	adjustment	of	the	angular	field	of	view	on	the	video	monitor,	be	sure	to	use	 the RCA jack of the main body for connection with video monitor. 
	 •	 Black	 bands	 may	 appear	 at	 the	 top	 and	 bottom	 or	 right	 and	 left	 of	 the	 screen.	 (That	 does	 not	 affect the adjustment because the angular field of view is not changed.)
	 •	 The	 video	 output	 on	 the	 monitor	 for	 adjustment	 does	 not	 guarantee	 the	 video	 performance	 or	 image quality.
 
x Connect the microphone to MIC/LINE IN (for use of 
the audio reception function).

  Connect a stereo mini plug (ø3.5 mm) (audio 
output is monaural). 
	 •	 Recommended	cable	length:	10	m	  {33 feet} or less
v Connect the cables of external devices to the 
EXT I/O terminal plug (accessory). 
  q  When connecting an external device, remove 
8 mm - 9 mm {5/16 inches - 11/32 inches} of 
the outer jacket of the cable and twist the cable 
core to prevent the short circuit first. 
Specification of cable (wire):  
20 AWG - 26 AWG, Single core, twisted
  w  Push down the button of the desired terminal 
on the external I/O terminal plug with a ballpoint 
pen, and release the button when the cable of 
the external device is fully inserted into the ter -
minal hole. 
  *  Check whether the stripped part of the wire is 
not exposed and is securely connected.

 e  After the cable connection, connect the exter -
nal I/O terminal plug to the external I/O termi-
nals of the camera. 
     IMPORTANT:
	 •	 Do	not	connect	2	wires	or	more	directly	to	a	terminal.	When	it	is	necessary	to	connect	2	wires	 or more, use a splitter.
	 •	 Input	 and	 output	 of	 the	 EXT	 I/O	 terminal	 2	 and	 3	 can	 be	 switched	 by	 configuring	 the	 setting.	 "Off" is selected by default. It is possible to determine whether or not to\
 receive input from EXT 
I/O terminal 2 and 3 (ALARM IN2, 3) by selecting "Off", "Alarm input", "Alarm output" or "AUX 
output"	 for	 "Terminal	 2"	 or	 "Terminal	 3"	 on	 the	 [Alarm]	 tab	 on	 the	 "Alarm"	 page.	 Refer	 to	 the	Operating Instructions  (included in the CD-ROM) for further informati\
on.
	 •	 Connect	an	external	device	with	verifying	that	the	ratings	are 	within	the	specifications	below.
	 •	 When	using	the	EXT	I/O	terminals	as	the	output	terminals,	ensure	they	do	not	cause	signal	col- lision with external signals. 
 
	 •	 ALARM	OUT,	AUX	OUT Output specification: Open collector output (maximum applied voltage: 2\
0 V DC)
Open: 4 V - 5 V DC by internal pull-up
Close: Output voltage 1 V DC or less (50 mA or less)
	 •	 ALARM	IN Input specification: No-voltage make contact input (4 V - 5 V DC, inter\
nally pulled up)
OFF: Open or 4 V - 5 V DC
ON: Make contact with GND (required drive current: 1 mA or more)
b Connect a LAN cable (category 5 or better,  
STP*) to the network connector.
  * E models only
n  Connect the power supply. 
IMPORTANT:
	 •	 The	 12	 V	 DC	 power	 supply	 shall	 be	 insulated	 from the commercial AC power.

When using 12 V DC power supply*
 q   Loosen the screws of the power cord plug 
(accessory). 
  w  Connect the cable of the 12 V DC power sup-
ply* to the power cord plug.
   Strip 3 mm - 7 mm {1/8 inches - 9/32 inches} 
from the end of the wire, and twist the stripped 
part of the wire sufficiently to avoid short circuit. 
Specification of cable (wire):  
16 AWG - 24 AWG, Single core, twisted
	 •	 Check	 whether	 the	 stripped	 part	 of	 the	 wire	 is	 not exposed and is securely connected.
  e  Tighten the screws of the power cord plug. 
(Recommended tightening torque: 0.339 N·m 
{0.25 lbf·ft})
  r  Connect the power cord plug to the 12 V DC 
power supply terminal. 
  *  FOR UL LISTED MODEL(S), ONLY CONNECT  12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY.
    
IMPORTANT:
	 •	 Be	sure	to	use	the	power	cord	plug	provided	with	this	product.	
	 •	 Be	sure	to	fully	insert	the	power	cord	plug	(accessory)	into	the	12	V	DC	power	supply	terminal.	 Otherwise, it may damage the camera or cause malfunction. 
	 •	 When	installing	the	camera,	make	sure	that	excessive	force	is	not	applied	to	the	power	cable.
	 •	 Be	 sure	 to	 use	 an	 AC	 adaptor	 compliant	 with	 the	 Specifications	 regarding	 power	 source	 and	 power consumption. (☞ Page 43)

When using PoE (IEEE802.3af compliant)
Connect a LAN cable (category 5 or better, straight, STP*) between a PoE device (such as a hub) 
and the network connector of the camera.
* E models onlyIMPORTANT:
	 •	 Use	all	4	pairs	(8	pins)	of	the	LAN	cable.	
	 •	 The	maximum	cable	length	is	100	m	{328	feet}.	
	 •	 Make	sure	that	the	PoE	device	in	use	is	compliant	with	IEEE802.3af	standard.	
	 •	 When	 connecting	both	the	12	V	DC	power	supply	and	the	PoE	device	for	power	supply,	12	V	 DC will be used for power supply. Depending on the PoE device used, the power supply lamp 
may not light and the network connections may not be possible. In this c\
ase, disable the PoE 
device setting, and refer to the operating instructions of the PoE device in use. 
	 •	 When	the	LAN	cable	is	disconnected	once,	reconnect	the	cable	after	about	2	seconds.	When	 the cable is quickly reconnected, the power may not be supplied from the PoE device.

	 •	 The	video	monitor	is	used	for	checking	the	adjustment	of	the	angular	field	of	view	when	install- ing the camera or when servicing. It is not provided for recording/monitoring use. 
	 •	 Use	a	switching	hub	or	a	router	which	is	compliant	with	10BASE-T/100BASE-TX.	
	 •	 Power	 supply	 is	 required	 for	 each	 network	 camera.	 When	 using	 a	 PoE	 device	 (hub),	 12	 V	 DC	 power supply is unnecessary.
