The camera is originally designed to be mounted from the bottom, however, a topmounting type is also available. To mount from the top, remove the mount adapter from the bottom of the camera by removing two fixing screws. Attach the mount adapter to the top as shown in the diagram, then mount the camera on the mounting bracket. Make sure that two original screws are used when mounting the mount adapter; longer type screws may damage inner components, too shorter type screws may cause the camera drop. t Focus Fixing Screw

WARNING: � This apparatus must be earthed. � To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. � The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus. � All work related to the installation of this product should be made by qualified service personnel or system installers.

PREFACE
Panasonic�s WV-CP240EX/CP242EX/CP244EX series digital signal processing color CCD cameras introduce a new level of high picture quality and high resolution through the use of a 1/3-inch interline transfer CCD image sensor having 768 horizontal pixels (picture elements), and digital signal processing LSI�s. This model offers cuttingedge technology for advanced video surveillance.

FEATURES
1. The following functions are built in. (1) Auto Light Control (ALC)/Electronic Light Control (ELC) (2) Automatic Gain Control (AGC) +15 dB and Automatic Tracing White Balance (ATW) (3) Camera synchronization mode selectable between internal (INT), Line-locked (LL) for WV-CP240EX and WV-CP244EX and Multiplexed Vertical Drive (VD2). 2. Minimum illumination of 1.5 lx {0.15 foot-candle} at F1.4 3. Signal-to-noise ratio of 50 dB (Equivalent to AGC Off) 4. Horizontal resolution of 480 TV lines 5. Auto iris lens control selectable between video signal and DC power supply.

y Power Cord (only for WV-CP240EX) Connect this power cord to an electrical outlet of 120 V AC 60 Hz. u DC 12 V Input Terminal [DC 12V IN] (only for WV-CP242EX) This terminal is for connecting the 12 V DC power supply cord. i AC 24 V Input Terminal [AC 24V IN] (only for WV-CP244EX) This terminal is for connecting the 24 V AC 60Hz power supply cord.

!4 Video Output Connector [VIDEO OUT] This connector is for connecting with the VIDEO IN connector of the video monitor. Whenever the multiplexed vertical drive (VD2) signal is supplied to this connector, the camera synchronization mode is automatically set to Vertical Drive.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera. To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Ask a qualified service personnel for servicing. 2. Handle the camera with care. Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera could be damaged by improper handling or storage. 3. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or try to operate it in wet areas. This product is designed for indoor use or locations where it is protected from rain and moisture. Turn the power off immediately and ask a qualified service personnel for servicing. Moisture can damage the camera and also create the danger of electric shock.

o Synchronization Mode Selector [INT, LL] (only for WV-CP240EX and WVCP244EX) Selects the camera synchronization mode as either internal sync mode (INT) or line-lock mode (LL). INT: Sets to internal 2:1 interlace. LL: Sets to Line-lock mode. !0 Back Light Compensation Mode Selector [BLC ON, OFF] Lets you select the mode according to the position of the object and light conditions on the screen.

Cautions: � Connect to 12 V DC (10.5 V-16 V) or 24 V AC (19.5 V-28 V) class 2 power supply only. Make sure to connect the grounding lead to the GND terminal when the power is supplied from a 24 V AC power source. � To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) for the DC 12 V or AC 24 V Input Terminal.
