Frequently Asked Questions - WVBM500 PANASONIC

How to connect a camera to the WVBM500 monitor?

Use a BNC cable to connect the camera's video output to the monitor's VIDEO IN input. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted.

Why is the image black and white?

Check that the input signal is PAL (compatible) and that the COLOUR setting is not at minimum. If the problem persists, test with another video source.

How to adjust brightness and contrast?

Use the BRIGHT (brightness) and CONTRAST buttons on the front panel. Adjust to your visual preferences.

The monitor does not turn on, what to do?

Check that the power cord is properly connected and that the wall outlet works. If the problem persists, contact an authorized Panasonic technician.

Can I clean the screen with a liquid product?

No, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid any chemical or abrasive products that could damage the screen surface. Always unplug the device before cleaning.

What type of video cable to use?

The monitor accepts BNC cables with 75 ohm impedance. A quality cable is recommended to avoid signal loss.

Is there an audio output?

No, the WVBM500 model does not have audio input or output. It is a video-only monitor.

How to know if the monitor is compatible with my camera?

Most analog cameras with composite PAL output are compatible. Check that the camera delivers a 1 Vpp signal at 75 ohms.

The monitor emits a humming noise, is it normal?

A slight hum is normal for CRT screens. If it becomes loud or unusual, check connections and power supply. Do not open the casing.

ENGLISH VERSION

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK), NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is interned to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience.

A 5 amp fuse is fitted in this plug.

Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amp and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.

If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained.

A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer.

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY.

THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMP SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below.

If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

WARNING: This apparatus must be earthed.

The serial number of this product may be found on the bottom of the unit.

You should note the serial number of this unit in the space provided and retain this book as a permanent record of your purchase to aid identification in the event of theft.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code.

Green-and-yellow:

Earth

Blue:

Neutral

Brown:

Live

As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.

The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

This model conforms of the EC directive (for radio interference) 87/308/EEC.

This apparatus was produced to BS 800:1987.

For Australia

THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

The model numbers listed in this Operating Instructions have no suffixed attached to it.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

The following installation should be made by qualified service personnel or system installers.

Mounting into EIA Standard 19" Rack

Model WV-BM500 can be mounted into EIA 19" rack as shown below.

Note: Rack Mounting requires the purchase of optional WV-Q64 Rack Angle Bracket.

CONNECTIONS

Power Cable

1. Keep the camera Power switched OFF during installation.
2. Connect the Power Cord (16) to a 50Hz grounded electrical outlet 220-240V AC.

Video Cable

1. Use the RG-59/U (3C-2V), RG-6/U (5C-2V). RG-11/U (7C-2V) or RG-15/U (10C-2V) coaxial cable.
2. Up to 10 monitors can be hooked up in this configuration before signal loss occurs. Total cable length should not exceed 500 feet (150m).

3. Wiring Precautions

4. Do not bend coaxial cable into a curve whose radius is smaller than 10 times of its diameter.

5. Never crush or pinch the cable All these will change the impedance of the cable and cause poor picture quality

Recommended maximum cable length

Cable		RG-59/U(3C-2V)	RG-6U(5C-2V)	RG-11/U(7C-2V)	RG-15/U(10C-2V)
Recommended maximum cable length	(m)	500	750	1000	1250
	(ft)	1650	2475	3300	4125

External Sync

When a non-composite video signal is connected to the monitor, it will be necessary to connect an external composite sync signal to the monitor.

1. Connect the Sync Input Connector (14) on the video monitor to the sync signal source by means of a 75 coaxial cable.
2. Set the Sync Selector Switch (13) at EXT position.

NOTE:

1. Non-composite video signal is a signal without sync.
2. External sync should be composed of mixed H. Sync and V. sync signals, not H. and V. drive pulse signals. Composite Sync Level: 4.0 Vp-p (2.0 Vp-p - 5.0 Vp-p)

SYSTEM CONNECTION

1. Single Monitor Connection

2. Multiple Monitor Connection

Internal Sync Connection

• Connect the Video Input Connector (11) on the monitor to the Video Out Terminal of cameras with 75-ohm coaxial cables.

External Sync Connection

• Set the Sync Selector Switch (13) at EXT position.
• Loop through connection of sync signal is the same as the case of Video Signal.
