Dip Switch Settings; Communication Parameters (Dip Switch 2) - Panasonic WV-CS954 Mode D'emploi

Notes:
• If you need to connect a ground, be sure to do it before
you connect the main power plug. Also, when
removing the ground, be sure to disconnect the main
power plug.
• The camera does not have a power switch, so it
turns on as soon as the power cord is plugged into
a power outlet. A self-cleaning function is activated
(PAN/TILT/ZOOM/FOCUS) when the camera is
turned on.

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

In a configuration where the camera's RS485 data port is used for camera control (pan, tilt, etc.) by the system
controller, the camera's DIP switches must be configured to specify the unit number and communication parameters.
The camera mounting base needs to be removed to access the DIP switches. See steps 1 and 2 on page 15 for
information about how to remove the camera mounting base.

Switches 2 through 4: Communication Parameters
■ Heat radiation
The surface of the camera radiates heat. Ventilation
holes should be provided when installing the camera in
an enclosed ceiling or confined location where heat
can build up.
■ Beware of high humidity.
If the camera is installed when humidity is very high,
moisture may collect in the camera and cause the
dome to become foggy. If the dome becomes foggy,
remove it when the humidity is low and eliminate the
moisture inside the camera, and then replace the
dome. (page 7, 10)
