PREFACE
Panasonic�s WV-CP254H digital signal processing color CCD camera introduces a new level of high picture quality and high resolution through the use of a 1/3-inch interline transfer CCD image sensor having 752 horizontal pixels (picture elements), and digital signal processing LSI�s. This model offers cutting-edge technology for advanced video surveillance.

This knob adjusts the back-focal distance or picture focus. e Lens (option)

Cut the iris control cable at the edge of the lens connector to remove the existing lens connector and then remove the outer cable cover of the supplied connector as shown in the diagram. The pin assignment of the lens connector is as follows: Pin 1: Power source; +9 V DC, 50 mA max. Pin 2: Not used Pin 3: Video signal; 0.7 V[p-p]/40 k� Pin 4: Shield, ground
Pin 3 Pin 1 Pin 4 Pin 2 Rib

o Automatic Light Control/Electronic Light r Mount Adapter The camera mounting screw hole is for mounting the camera onto a mounting bracket. The camera is originally designed to be mounted from the bottom, however, a top-mounting type is also available. To mount from the top, Control Selector (ALC, ELC) Lets you select the mode according to the lens type used. ALC: Select this mode when an auto iris lens (ALC lens) is used with this camera. ELC: Select this mode when a fixed iris lens or manual iris lens is used with this camera.

FEATURES
1. The following functions are built in. (1) Auto Light Control (ALC)/Electronic Light Control (ELC) (2) Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Automatic Tracing White Balance (ATW) (3) Camera synchronization mode selectable between internal (INT), Line-locked (LL) and Multiplexed Vertical Drive (VD2). 2. Minimum Illumination of 1.0 lx (0.1 foot-candle) at color mode, 0.15 lx (0.015 foot-candle) at black and white mode with F1.4 lens. 3. Signal-to-noise ratio of 50 dB (min) (at AGC OFF, weight ON) 4. Horizontal resolution of 480 lines 5. Auto iris lens control selectable between video signal and DC power supply. 6. Auto black-and-white mode enables the camera to switch between color and black and white picture in response to light input.

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 Synchronization Mode Selector (INT, LL) 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. y Back Light Compensation Mode Selector (BLC ON, OFF) 3. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or try to operate it in wet areas. Turn the power off immediately and ask a qualified service person for servicing. Moisture can damage the camera and also create the danger of electric shock. Lets you select the mode according to the position of the object and light conditions on the screen. ON: Select this mode when a strong light such as a spotlight is in the background. OFF: Normal picture The factory default setting is ON. u AGC Level Selector AGC level can be selected with this selector. AGC automatically controls the gain of Image brightness level. HI: This setting raises more the gain and brightness of images under low light conditions. LOW: Normal position

Cautions: 1. Shrinking the cable-entry seal is a one-time procedure. Do not shrink the cable-entry seal until it has been ascertained that the unit is functioning. 2. CONNECT THIS TO 24 V AC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY ONLY. Be sure to connect the grounding lead to the GND terminal. 3. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) for the Input Terminal. 4. The connections should comply National electrical Code (NEC). with

!0 Lens Drive Signal Selector (VIDEO, DC) Lets you select the mode according to the type of auto iris lens drive signal to be supplied to the lens from the auto iris lens connector. VIDEO: Select this mode if you are using a auto iris lens that requires a video drive signal. DC: Select this mode if you are using a auto iris lens that requires a DC drive signal. !1 Auto-Tracing White Balance mode (ATW) Selector The ATW mode can be selected with this selector. ATW1: Normal picture ATW2: ATW in sodium lamp mode !2 Day/Night Mode Selector This function switches the condition of pictures from color to black and white in low light conditions. COLOR FIX: Color picture reverts to blackand-white picture when an external day/night switching signal is received (refer to Day/Night connections). Note: When using this unit with infrared rays or lighting of which color temperature is 3 000 K or less, select this mode without fail, and short-circuit the Day/Night input terminals if you select the black-and-white picture. (The AUTO mode may cause hunting.)
