Panasonic Network Camera Wv Sw396a Installation Guide

							Step 5
Attach the front and rear sunshields (accessory) to the 
camera.
  q  Put the fingers on the dents of the front and rear sun-
shields to detach the hooks. The sunshields will be 
divided into two parts. 
   For loss prevention, one side of the front and rear 
sunshields are linked together with a wire. 
  w  Locate the front and rear sunshields to the position 
that covers the housing base. 
  e  Joint both sides of front and rear sunshields. 
   Joint the hook and dent on the linked side, and then 
joint the other side.

Main sunshield
Important:
	 •	 Joint	 both	 sides	 of	 the	 front	 and	 rear	 sunshields	 before fitting in the main sunshield. 
	 •	 Do	not	trap	the	safety	wire	inside.
	 •	 The	safety	wire	is	designed	to	support	only	the	weight	 of the camera when the camera falls. 
   Do not put an excessive weight that the safety wire 
cannot support. 
 
Step 6
Fit the front and rear sunshields in the main sunshield. 
Align "h" of the rear sunshield to "g START" of the main 
sunshield. Then, turn the front and rear sunshields toward 
"g LOCK" until a click is heard.

Step 7
Fix the front and rear sunshields on the camera using the 
front/rear sunshield fixing screw (accessory).

Important:
	 •	 When	the	power	of	the	camera	is	turned	on,	the	cam- era will start panning and the position will automati-
cally be initialized. 
 
Note:
	 •	 When	removing	the	front	and	rear	sunshields,	perform	 steps 5 - 7 in the reverse order.

							Connection
Caution:
Before starting connection, make sure that the circuit breaker is switched off. Failure to observe this may cause fire, 
electric shock, injury, or damage to the product.

• Power cable
Connect the power cable to the 24 V AC power supply using the 24 V AC po\
wer supply connector kit (accessory). 
Important:
	 •	 The	 power	 supply	 of	 24	 V	 AC	 shall	 be	 insulated	 against	 120	 V	 AC	 (for	 U.S.	 and	 Canada)	 or	 220	 V	 -	 240	 V	 AC	 (for	 Europe and other countries).
	 •	 Do	not	cut	or	process	the	network	cable	since	the	power	is	superimposed	 when using a PoE+ device for power sup-
ply. Besides, do not put an excessive weight on connected sections.

• How to assemble the power supply connector
Remove approx. 3 mm {1/8  inches} of the outer jacket of 
the cable and twist the cable core to prevent the short cir -
cuit first.
Insert the tip of the cable into the point A of the contact, 
and hold the cable using the cable clamp. 
Procure either of the following tools for clamping. 
Molex manual clamp tool:
   57027-5000 (for UL1015), 57026-5000 (for UL1007)
After clamping the contact and the cable, insert the con-
tact properly into the power supply connector housing. 
Important:
	 •	 Conduct	 the	 electric	 conduit	 work	 after	 processing	 the power supply connector and making sure that the 
camera is operating normally. 
 
    
• Network cable
Connect a LAN cable (category 5e or better, STP*) to the 
network connector. 
* E model only
Important:
	 •	 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 IEEE802.3at standard. 
	 •	 When	 connecting	 both	 of	 the	 24	 V	 AC	 power	 supply	 and the PoE+ device for power supply, 24 V AC will 
be used for power supply. 
   Depending on PoE+ (or PoE) devices, the power sup-
ply indicator may light or the network functions may 
be unavailable. 
   In this case, disable the PoE+ (or PoE) settings. Refer 
to the operating instructions of the PoE+ (or PoE) 
device in use.
 
• Output cable for the monitor used for adjustment
Connect a coaxial cable (BNC) (only for checking if images 
are displayed on the monitor). 
This output is provided only for checking the adjustment 
of the angular field of view on the video monitor when 
installing the camera or when servicing. 
Important:
	 •	 The	monitor	out	connector	for	adjustment	is	provided	 only for checking the adjustment of the angular field 
of view on the video monitor when installing the cam-
era or when servicing. It is not provided for recording/
monitoring use.
	 •	 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.)
 
• External I/O cable
Important:
	 •	 Input	 and	 output	 of	 the	 external	 I/O	 terminal	 2	 and	 3	 can be switched by configuring the setting. The 
default of EXT I/O terminal 2 is "ALARM IN 2" and of 
EXT I/O terminal 3 is "ALARM IN 3". 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 alarm 2" or "Terminal alarm 3" on the 
[Alarm] tab on the "Alarm" page. Refer to the 
Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM) for 
further information. 
	 •	 When	using	the	EXT	I/O	terminals	as	the	output	termi- nals, ensure they do not cause signal collision with 
external signals.

Important:
	 •	 Connect/disconnect	the	audio	cables	and	turn	on	the	 power of the camera after turning off the power of the 
audio output devices. Otherwise, loud noise may be 
heard from the speaker. 
 
• Audio output cable
  Connect a stereo mini plug (ø3.5 mm). (Audio output 
is monaural.) Use an external speaker with amplifier. 
	 •	 Recommended	cable	length:	10	m	{32.8	feet} or less
Note:
	 •	 Make	 sure	 that	 the	 stereo	 mini	 plug	 is	 connected	 to	 this cable. When a monaural mini plug is connected, 
audio may not be heard. 
   When connecting a monaural speaker with amplifier, 
use an optional conversion cable (mono-stereo).

							Initialize the camera
Use the initial set switch to reset the settings of the camera to the default. Important:
	 •	 The	 settings	 including	 the	 network	 settings	 will	 be	 initialized.	 Note	 that	 the	 preset	 position	 settings	 and	 the	 CRT	 key	 (SSL encryption key) used for the HTTPS protocol will not be initialized.
    
Step 1
Open the SDHC/SD memory card slot cover by following 
steps 1 - 3 of the "How to insert an SDHC/SD memory 
card" section (☞ page 15). 
Step 2
Move the initial set switch to the right (ON). 
The factory default is OFF.
Step 3
Move the Initial set switch to the right, and then turn on 
the power of the camera. The camera will start up and all 
the settings including the network settings will be initial-
ized. The initialization will be complete when the live indi-
cator stops blinking orange and lights off. Before initializ-
ing the settings, it is recommended to write down the set-
tings in advance. 
Important:
	 •	 Do	not	turn	 off	the	power	of	the	camera	during	initial-
ization. Otherwise, it may fail to initialize and may 
cause malfunction. 
 
Step 4
Turn off the power of the camera.
