• Do not install the WAT-910HX in a position subject todirect sunlight.
Sunlight shinning directly onto the WAT-910HX lens cancause damage to the CCD.
• Select a stable place for installation of the WAT-910HX.
Use a support of durable strength around an installation
position on a ceiling or wall when a camera stand or tripod
is used.
• Do not move the WAT-910HX with the cables
connected.
Before moving the WAT-910HX, always remove the video
cable and power cable from the rear of the camera first.
• Avoid using the WAT-910HX near any strong electromagnetic field.
After installing into main equipment, if the WAT-910HX is
exposed to electromagnetic waves causing the monitored
image to become distorted, we recommend the camera beshielded by appropriate protective casing.

Using the contents figures below, check to make sure all parts arepresent before use.

(Dirt, water or oil deposits on the image sensor will cause an unclear
picture on the monitor. Attach the lens cap to protect the lens and theCCD from contamination and damage.)④FINE FOCUS ADJUSTMENT SCREWS・There are 3 hex. adjustment screws each placed at intervals of 120゜for fine focusing of the lens.
⑤AUTO-IRIS SOCKET・This socket is for the video/DC auto-iris lens cable connector.
(Video/DC: Auto selected by the camera)⑥TRIPOD MOUNTING SCREW HOLES・Mounting holes for stands. The size of these threads are 1/4”, 20threads, 4.5±0.2mm, which is the same as any standard camera

⑦VIDEO OUT (BNC)
・The terminal for composite video signal output⑨I/O CONNECTOR・The control terminal for the Motion Detection.
⑩POWER IN・The terminal designed for connection with the DC-plug of the poweradaptor.

Power Supply
Use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12V±10%, with acurrent capacity of more than 250mA. Use the optional DC plug if theshape or polarity of the DC plug of the power adaptor to be used is notcompatible with the camera (See the drawing on the right below).

CautionThe wiring of the connector must be exact.
Be careful not to touch the other terminal whilewiring. Protect the wiring portion by using insulation
tape after wiring. If the above care and attention isnot adhered to, damage to the WAT-910HX andpower adaptor may occur and may also cause fire.
