Install the unit after conferring in detail with your dealer. Install the unit on a ceiling that is strong enough (such as a concrete ceiling).

If the unit is to be installed on a ceiling which is not strong enough, reinforce the ceiling sufficiently first.

Do not install or use the unit in the following kinds of locations.

  • On walls (where the unit would be installed sideways)
  • In locations (including places such as under the eaves of a building) where the unit would be directly exposed to rain or water
  • In locations such as kitchens where there are high concentrations of steam and grease
  • In outdoor locations or hot places where the temperature will exceed 40^ C ( 104^ F )
  • In cold locations where the temperature will drop below 0^ C (32°F)
  • In locations where the humidity will exceed 90%
  • In locations where chemicals are used such as near swimming pools
  • At sea, in coastal areas or in locations where corrosive gases are emitted
  • In locations where radiation, X-rays, or strong radio waves or magnetic fields are generated
  • In locations where the unit would be subject to a great deal of vibration such as on board a vehicle or ship (the unit is not designed to be used in vehicles)
  • In locations where the temperature is subject to sudden changes such as near the air outlet of an air conditioner or near a door which allows the outside air to come in

What to avoid to ensure that the unit will perform stably over a prolonged period

Be absolutely sure to use the specified brackets and screws to install the camera.

  • Do not mount the unit by employing any methods other than those specified.
  • Do not remodel the mounting bracket or mounting screws provided with the unit.

Before installation, always disconnect the power plug

When installing, always use the supplied components.

Do not disassemble or modify the wall mount adaptor.

Tightening up the mounting screws

  • Tighten up the screws and bolts securely to the degree that is appropriate for each of the materials used in the mounting location and structures.
  • After tightening up the screws and bolts, check that there is no unsteadiness and that the parts have been tightened securely.
  • Use the specified tools and tighten the screws firmly.
  • Tighten up the screws using the specified torque driver. Do not use electrical drivers or impact drivers.

When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it lying around, but be absolutely sure to remove it properly.

For details on how to remove the unit, refer to “Removing the camera” (page 14).

When installing, transferring or disposing of the unit, be absolutely sure to hold it by its pedestal area.

Problems may result if the camera head is held or rotated.

Do not attach a filter, hood, extender or other parts to the unit.

Use the dedicated AC adaptor and power cable provided with the unit.

Connect the AC adaptor and power cable to the power inlet securely.

Installing the AC adaptor

  • Do not place the adaptor directly onto a ceiling panel or other such surface.

Extreme danger is posed when water has collected on the surface as a result of leaking rain, for instance.

Secure the adaptor firmly to the bottom or other surface of a reinforcing member made of channel steel where dust and other foreign matter will not accumulate.

(Refer to page 12.)

  • Secure the adaptor firmly so that there will be no chance that it will fall off or fall down.

Secure it using a strength which can withstand the mass of the AC adaptor.

Install the accessory AC adaptor near the main power outlet, and position it in such a way that its power plug can be plugged into and unplugged from the outlet easily.

When connecting the AC adaptor to a power outlet on the ceiling or on any other surface where dust may collect, wipe off the dust on the power plug at periodic intervals as an anti-tracking measure.

Power switch

The unit does not have a power switch. The power turns on when its power plug is connected to a power outlet. When the power is turned on, the pan, tilt, zoom and focusing operations are performed. Before proceeding with maintenance, be absolutely sure to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.

Connecting the power cable

Be absolutely sure to connect the power cable of the AC adaptor through a circuit breaker using one of the following methods.

(1) Connect the power cable through a power control unit.
(2) Connect the power cable to a circuit breaker in a power distribution panel with a contact distance of 3.0mm (1/8 inches) or more.

Use a circuit breaker which is capable of shutting off all the poles of the main power supply with the exception of the protective ground conductor.

(3) Install the AC adaptor near the power outlet, and connect it through the power plug.

If there is a possibility of noise interference

Either wire the cables so that the power cable (ceiling light cord) of AC 100V^ [AC 220V^* ] or more, and the signal cable are placed at least 1 meter (3.3 ft) apart. Alternatively run each cable through its own metal conduit. (The metal conduits must be grounded.)

  • : For AW-HE38HWPC, AW-HE38HKPC

**: For AW-HE38HWE, AW-HE38HKE

Radio signal interference

If the unit is positioned near a TV or radio transmitting antenna or a strong electrical field or magnetic field (such as that generated by a motor, transformer or power lines), its images may be distorted and/or the images may be affected by noise.

When connecting the cables, ensure that the connector areas will not be subject to any load.

Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

Allowing the generated heat to escape

The unit allows the heat generated inside to escape from its surfaces.

Do not install the unit in a location where it will be surrounded by walls or other surfaces and where heat will be trapped. In addition, the heat is dissipated to the bottom panel which will warm up over time: This is normal and not indicative of any trouble.

PoE+ power supplies

Use a PoE+ (IEEE802.3at) compatible hub or power supply device.

Be absolutely sure to read through the "Read this first!" (page 5) and "Installation precautions" (pages 6 to 7).

The procedure given here is for the kind of installation where the unit is suspended from an overhead surface, but the same steps are followed for a stand-alone installation.

If the ceiling panel is not strong enough to bear the unit's weight, use the kind of mount bracket that is supported by anchor bolts between the concrete ceiling and ceiling panel. The unit supports the WV-Q105A direct ceiling mount bracket which is used solely for combination cameras. Use this bracket to install the unit. (See page 12.) In a case like this, the holes ( 60 mm [ø 2-3/8 inches]) for installing the direct ceiling mount bracket on the ceiling must be drilled in the ceiling panel. It is also recommended that you provide an inspection space or opening for access purposes in the area near where the equipment is installed in order to facilitate installation and the wiring connections work. See page 36 for details of the accessories.

The unit is in the standby condition when the AC adaptor is connected. The primary circuit is always "live" as long as the AC adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.

■When using the WV-Q105A (optional accessory)

It is recommended that you provide an inspection opening or other such space for access purposes in the area near where the equipment is installed in order to facilitate installation and the wiring connections work.

Before mounting the mount bracket, check that the installation location is strong enough to withstand the total mass (approx. 2.0kg [4.41 lb]) which will be exerted once the camera is mounted.

When installing the unit on a ceiling, ensure that there is at least 100mm (3-15/16 inches) of space above the ceiling panel in the place where the unit will be used.

The unit can be installed on a ceiling panel with a thickness ranging from 5 mm (3/16 inches) to 40 mm (1-9/16 inches).

The drop-prevention wire (supplied with the WV-Q105A) must be used when mounting the direct ceiling mount bracket.

PANASONIC AW-HN38H - ■When using the WV-Q105A (optional accessory) - 1

When installing the unit on a ceiling

1 Refer to the Operating Instructions of the WV-Q105A direct ceiling mount bracket, and attach the WV-Q105A as well as the drop-prevention wire angle and drop-prevention wire supplied with the WV-Q105A to the anchor bolts.

Mounting the anchor bolts and direct ceiling mount bracket ()

This job is facilitated if the direct ceiling mount bracket is loosely secured to the ceiling panel in one place, and the direct ceiling mount bracket and anchor bolts are vertically aligned before the nuts are tightened up.

2 First, remove the screws which were loosely fastened in step 1, and then align the camera mount bracket of the AW-HE38 with the screw holes in the WV-Q105A direct ceiling mount bracket and mount it in place.

  • Use the mounting screws (the M4-L60 Phillips head screws with adhesive) supplied with the WV-Q105A as the mounting screws.
  • Fasten the AC adaptor securely to the bottom or other surface of the reinforcing member made of channel steel where dust and other foreign matter will not accumulate.
  • Do not place the AC adaptor directly onto the ceiling panel or other such surface.

To ensure a stable performance in the long term

Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts to deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.

(Recommended temperature: Max. 35^ [95°F])

Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air directly toward the installation location.

Image persistence on the MOS sensor color filters

If parts of the MOS sensor are exposed continuously to spotlights or other bright lights, the color filters inside the MOS sensor will deteriorate, and the parts concerned may become discolored. The discoloration may be noticeable when the direction of fixed monitoring is changed.

Do not point the camera at strong lights.

When parts of the MOS sensor are exposed to spotlights or other strong lights, blooming (a phenomenon where the edges of strong lights become blurred) may occur.

PANASONIC AW-HN38H - Do not point the camera at strong lights. - 1

Concerning the color reproduction of MOS sensors

Depending on the color tones of the subjects, the color reproduction may deteriorate: This is normal and not indicative of any trouble.

What happens with high-brightness subjects

Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed at the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take some other remedial action.

When using the automatic functions

  • If "Full Auto" has been selected as the setting for Scene on the camera menu, for example, all the auto settings will be turned on, and manual operations will no longer be possible for some of the items.
  • When using the ATW (auto tracking white adjustment) function under fluorescent lights, the white balance may vary.
  • In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto setting. In cases like this, select the manual setting, and focus manually.
  • The appropriate brightness may not be obtained when shooting bright objects using the auto settings for the gain and iris.

In cases like this, set the shutter speed to manual, and adjust.

Zooming and focusing

When the focus is set manually, out-of-focusing may occur during zooming.

After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the focus to auto.

When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with zooming after setting the focus position at the Tele end where the focusing accuracy is higher.

(However, if the distance from the unit to the subject is less than 1.0 meter [3.28 ft], the subject may shift out of focus at the Wide end.)

If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted the focus at the Wide end, out-of-focusing may occur.

Concerning the zoom position when the power is turned on

When the unit is turned on, the zoom, focus, and iris return to their positions from before the unit entered standby mode.

(This happens for the focus and iris when they were set manually.)

The operation will be performed with the [Preset Scope] settings applied in such cases.

However, this position may not be restored if, for instance, the power cable was disconnected during operation.

Operating temperature range

Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature drops below 0^ (32°F) or hot locations where the temperature rises above 40^ (104°F) since these temperatures downgrade the picture quality and adversely affect the internal parts.

Concerning the HDMI interface standard

The unit has been certified as HDMI-compatible, but on rare occasions images may not be displayed depending on the HDMI device which has been connected to the unit.

Color bars

Color bars are used to adjust the color phase, and the widths and positions of these bars may differ from other models.

Concerning IP video refresh speed and operations from the web screen

The IP video refresh speed may be reduced and operations from the web screen may be slower, depending on the network environment used, performance of the personal computer or the mobile terminal, subjects and access count.
