• ⑭ ELECTRONIC SHUTTER ON/OFF SWITCH: The switch for selecting electronic shutter mode.

• ⑮ AE MODE CONTROL: The switch for the shutter speed mode control according to the object.

If any other power adaptor besides the AD-901 is used, please use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+12V±10%, with a current capacity of more than 250mA.

Use the optional DC plug if the shape or polarity of the DC plug of the power adaptor to be used is not compatible with the camera. The wiring on the connector must be exact. Be careful not to touch the other terminal while wiring. Protect the wiring portion by using insulation tape after wiring. If this care and attention is not adhered to, damage to the WAT-902H2/3 ULTIMATE and power adaptor may occur or may cause fire.

The polarity is DC+12V for the center pin and COMMON (GND) for the outer part of the plug.

Before connecting the auto-iris lens, please make sure that the pin configuration is correct by confirming with the following table. If the configuration of your iris connector is different, the plug and pins will need to be rewired.

Connect the iris cable to the ⑤ AUTO-IRIS SOCKET on the camera.

1. Ensure that the power to the WAT-902H2/3 ULTIMATE and the peripheral equipment is turned off before making any connections.

2. Remove the lens mount cap from the WAT-902H2/3 ULTIMATE and attach the CS-mount lens. Use the optional C-mount adaptor (30CMA-R) when a C-mount lens is used.

3. Connect the iris cable to ⑤ AUTO-IRIS SOCKET on the WAT-902H2/3 ULTIMATE when an auto-iris lens is being used.

4. Connect ⑧ VIDEO OUT on the WAT-902H2/3 ULTIMATE with the monitor, using a coaxial cable with 75Ω impedance, such as an RG-58/U or an RG-6/U. Select a monitor with the same television system as the WAT-902H2/3 ULTIMATE (EIA or CCIR). A monitor with more than 600TV lines is recommended.

5. Insert the power plug of the power adaptor into ⑩ POWER IN on the back panel of the WAT-902H2/3 ULTIMATE. Confirm that the power adaptor is not connected to the power supply before insertion of the power plug into ⑩ POWER IN.

6. Turn on the power to the WAT-902H2/3 ULTIMATE, monitor and all other allied equipment. If a picture cannot be obtained on the monitor, or a strong smell of burning is present, or smoke is visible, check and follow the procedure mentioned in the Problems and Trouble Shooting section.

7. Focusing: Follow the operations mentioned below while looking at the screen on the monitor for focusing:

• Manual Lens: Adjust the focus and iris to the best position on the lens.

• Video Auto-iris Lens: Adjust the focus on the lens.

• DC Auto-iris Lens: Adjust the iris level on the camera, then adjust the focus on the lens (see Iris Level Adjustment).

※When an auto-iris lens is used, set ⑫ AGC/MGC SELECTION SWITCH to AGC (HI or LO) and set ⑮ AE MODE CONTROL to any position other than 8 (EI OFF). If manual gain (MGC) or Electronic Iris (EI) are needed, change the switch settings according to your requirements. (Note: The PDF has conflicting advice. One part says set AGC to OFF, another says AGC HI/LO. Generally for auto-iris, camera’s auto gain (AGC) and electronic shutter (EI) might interfere or complement, depending on the desired outcome. For initial setup with DC auto-iris, using the lens’s iris control is primary, so disabling camera’s EI (AE Mode Control not 8 or 9) and potentially setting AGC to a fixed level or ‘LO’ might be preferable for stability, then adjust as needed).

8. Select any required gamma by the ⑨ GAMMA CORRECTION SWITCH.

9. Select any required gain control by the ⑫ AGC/MGC SELECTION SWITCH.

10. If MGC is selected, set the gain to any required environment by ⑪ MGC VOLUME ADJUSTING.

11. Select any required back light area by ⑬ BACK LIGHT switch.

12. Set the shutter mode by ⑭ ELECTRONIC SHUTTER ON/OFF SWITCH and then the shutter speed by ⑮ AE MODE CONTROL.

For DC auto-iris lenses, adjust the ③ IRIS LEVEL VOLUME placed on the side of the unit until an acceptable light level is attained on the monitor. Turn the volume towards ‘+’ to open the iris and towards ‘-‘ to close it. No change will occur if a video iris lens or manual iris lens is fitted.

When an auto-iris lens is used, it is generally recommended to set the ⑫ AGC/MGC SELECTION SWITCH to an AGC setting (e.g., LO or HI) and set the ⑮ AE MODE CONTROL to a position other than 8 (EI OFF), for example, FL (flickerless) or a fixed shutter speed if EI is not desired. Adjust these settings according to your requirements.

Select the required gamma using the ⑨ GAMMA CORRECTION SWITCH. The modes and their effects are:

※Select LO position for normal use. In a low light environment or dark viewing, HI mode is recommended.

Select the required gain control using the ⑫ AGC/MGC SELECTION SWITCH. The modes, ranges, and their effects are:

When the ⑫ AGC/MGC SELECTION SWITCH is set to MGC (Manual Gain Control), use the ⑪ MGC VOLUME ADJUSTING to set the gain. The gain can be manually adjusted in a range between 5dB to 60dB. In a low light environment, when illumination of the object is important, increase the manual gain. Lower the gain control for a clearer picture with less noise.

Select the required back light area by using the ⑬ BACK LIGHT switch to one of its 4 positions. The positions typically correspond to:

1. Default (OFF)

2. Center

3. Lower

4. Center + Lower

The switch has positions to select these areas. Refer to the markings on the camera body for exact switch settings corresponding to these areas.

1. Set the shutter mode using the ⑭ ELECTRONIC SHUTTER ON/OFF SWITCH.

• When shutter mode is OFF, the shutter speed is fixed to EIA 1/60 sec. or CCIR 1/50 sec.

• When shutter mode is ON, select the shutter speed mode using the ⑮ AE MODE CONTROL.

2. Select the required shutter speed using the ⑮ AE MODE CONTROL switch to one of its 10 positions (when Electronic Shutter is ON). The speeds are:

※In EI mode, intense light may leave a trail on the screen longitude. This smearing is a natural phenomenon and is not due to equipment failure.
