[Precautions for use] This product is designed to be used indoors. This product is not operable outdoors. This product has no power switch. When turning off the power, disconnect the power supply from the 12 V DC power supply or the PoE device. (When using both the 12 V DC power supply and the PoE device for power supply, disconnect both the connections.) To keep on using with stable performance Do not use this camera in hot and humid conditions for a long time.
Code label The code labels (accessory) are required at inquiry for trouble. Use caution not to lose these labels. It is recommended to paste one of the labels onto the CD-ROM case. Discoloration on the color filter of the MOS image sensor • When continuously shooting a bright light source such as a spotlight, the color filter of the MOS image sensor may have deteriorated and it may cause discoloration.
Precautions for Installation Panasonic assumes no responsibility for injuries or property damage resulting from failures arising out of improper installation or operation inconsistent with this documentation. This camera is designed to be used indoors. This product is not operable outdoors. Do not expose this camera to direct sunlight for hours and do not install the product near a heater or an air conditioner. Otherwise, it may cause deformation, discoloration and malfunction.
Screw tightening • The screws and bolts must be tightened with an appropriate tightening torque according to the material and strength of the installation area. • Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver may damage the screws or cause tightening excessively. • Tighten screws at a right angle to the surface. After tightening screws, perform checks to ensure that the tightening is sufficient enough so that there is no movement or looseness. Procure fixing screws separately.

(☞ Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM)) z Detach the dome cover.
Connection Caution: • ONLY CONNECT 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY (UL 1310/CSA 223) or LIMITED POWER SOURCE (IEC/EN/UL/CSA 60950-1). Before starting the connection, turn off the power of this camera and the devices to be connected. Check and prepare the required devices and cables for connection.
IMPORTANT: • Connect/disconnect the audio cables and turn on the power of the camera after turning off the power of the audio output devices. Otherwise, loud noise may be heard from the speaker. c Connect Audio output connector an external speaker with amplifier to the audio output connector (for use of the audio transmission function). SF549 SF539 Connect a stereo mini plug (ø3.5 mm) (audio output is monaural).
e After the cable connection, connect the external I/O terminal plug to the external I/O terminals of the camera. External I/O terminals IMPORTANT: • Do not connect 2 wires or more directly to a terminal. When it is necessary to connect 2 wires or more, use a splitter. • Input and output of the EXT I/O terminal 2 and 3 can be switched by configuring the setting. "Off" is selected by default.
When using 12 V DC power supply* q Loosen the screws of the power cord plug (accessory). w Connect the cable of the 12 V DC power sup(12 V DC) (GND) ply* to the power cord plug. Strip 3 mm - 7 mm {1/8 inches - 9/32 inches} from the end of the wire, and twist the stripped part of the wire sufficiently to avoid short circuit. Specification of cable (wire): 16 AWG - 24 AWG, Single core, twisted • Check whether the stripped part of the wire is not exposed and is securely connected.
When using PoE (IEEE802.3af compliant) Connect a LAN cable (category 5 or better, straight, STP*) between a PoE device (such as a hub) and the network connector of the camera. * For Europe IMPORTANT: • Use all 4 pairs (8 pins) of the LAN cable. • The maximum cable length is 100 m {328 feet}. • Make sure that the PoE device in use is compliant with IEEE802.3af standard. • When connecting both the 12 V DC power supply and the PoE device for power supply, 12 V DC will be used for power supply.

Installation Camera mounting Installation shall be conducted after turning off each device. z Detach the dome cover. (☞ Page 17) x Connect the cables to the camera. (☞ Pages 23 - 28) As necessary, use a cable tie (accessory) to assemble the cables. c Mount the camera. (The illustration represents the case in which a two-gang junction box is installed.) Fix the camera with 4 screws (M4, locally procured). 83.
Adjustment Perform the following procedures before adjusting the camera angle. SF549 SF548 Detach the inner dome from the camera by picking the front and rear sides. Note: • Do not touch the lens. Pick the portion marked in the illustration as well as the opposite side. z Adjust the camera angle. When determining the camera angle, repeat fine adjustments by gradually moving the panning table, tilting table, and azimuth adjustment ring.
Vertical position (Tilting) Loosen the tilting lock screws (x2), and rotate the tilting table to adjust the tilting direction. (Adjustable range: ±75 °) Since a variable focal lens is used, it is possible to change the angular field of view. This lens can also be rotated in the reverse direction, but the image azimuth is reversed. In this case, the image azimuth can be modified when the panning table is rotated to the direction of clockwise panning (180 °).
x Adjust the angular field of view and the focus. Adjust the angular field of view in accordance with the distance between the camera lens and a photographic subject. These adjustments shall be performed together with the camera angle adjustment. Auto focus (AF) button Zoom lock knob Loosen Tighten Focus ring * Do not move the focus ring. q Loosen the zoom lock knob and move the knob between TELE and WIDE to obtain the appropriate angle of view.
Note: • If the zoom lock knob is fully turned in the "W" direction, the periphery may become dark. In such a case, turn the zoom lock knob in the "T" direction for readjustment. • If the zoom lock knob is slightly tightened before the zoom is adjusted, the knob will become stable, making fine adjustments easier to perform. • When shooting in the following place or the following subjects, focus may not be adjusted automatically. In this case, adjust the focus manually from the setup menu.
Attaching the dome cover Attach the dome cover to the camera. SF549 SF548 The following procedure is required when using WV-SF549 or WV-SF548. Refer to page 35 when using WV-SF539 or WV-SF538. z Attach the inner dome to the camera in the same manner as the procedure in page 30. Make sure that the tilting lock screws of the camera and the holes on the inner dome are correctly fit together. x Attach T ON FR P TO the dome cover using the bit for tamperproof screw (accessory).
SF538 Attach the dome cover to the camera. SF539 The following procedure is required when using WV-SF539 or WV-SF538. Refer to page 34 when using WV-SF549, WV-SF548. z Align the indication "OPEN" to the marker Marker of the camera to attach the dome cover. Dome alignment indication "OPEN" AF LOCK OPEN ADJUST Dome cover Dome section x Remove the cover film from the dome cover except the dome section. c Adjust the direction of the inner dome.
