Installation Instructions
Installation precautions
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for accident or damage during installation if procedure in this manual is not 
followed.
To installation personnel
Read the “Installation Instructions” thoroughly and then perform the operation correctly and safely.
Also, always read the “Read this first!” (→ page 4) of this manual as they contain important information.
After the installation, give the “Installation Instructions” to the customer to save for future use.
Ensure that the installation work complies with 
the technical standards governing electrical 
equipment.
This unit is for indoor use only.
It cannot be used outdoors.
Avoid installation in a location where the unit will be exposed to 
direct sunlight for extended periods or near a cooling or heating 
appliance.
Otherwise, deformation, discoloration, malfunctioning and/or 
problems in operation may result. Operate the unit where it will not 
be splashed or sprayed by water.
Use the unit with an installation where the unit 
is suspended from an overhead surface or with 
a stand-alone installation.
Do not use the unit on its side or tilted at an angle.
<NOTE>
• Be absolutely sure to use the four bracket mounting screws (M4) for 
mounting the mount bracket. These are supplied with the unit.
Do not use wood screws, nails, etc.
In the case of a concrete ceiling, secure the unit using anchor bolts 
(for M4) or AY plug bolts (for M4).
Recommended clamping torque 
M4 : 1.47 N · m {15 kgf · cm}
• The withdrawal strength of the mounting location for each screw 
must be at least 236 N {24 kgf}.
• When mounting the unit on a ceiling made of plasterboard, for 
instance, if it is not strong enough to support its weight, either 
reinforce the ceiling adequately or use the WV-Q105A direct ceiling 
mount bracket, which is sold separately.
• When using a mount bracket which is sold separately, read the 
handling instructions.
• Do not hold the camera head while undertaking the installation work. 
Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

Concerning the installation location
Install the unit in a stable location which will not be susceptible to 
shaking. If the unit is installed in a location which is susceptible to 
shaking, this will cause the unit’s images to shake in turn.
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.
Through the adoption of the Direct Drive system and Panasonic 
proprietary technology, we have achieved quietness and high 
precision in panning and tilting.
In order to get the most from the characteristics of the Direct Drive 
system, install in a stable location that does not shake and that has 
sufficient stiffness. Shaking of the installation location can be the 
cause of performance deterioration and malfunctions in the camera.
If the camera is installed in a location with insufficient stiffness, 
the pan and tilt control characteristics may be adversely affected, 
leading to unstable operation.
•  In environments such as the following, there may be unusual operation 
sounds during pan and tilt, and operational errors may occur.
If you are concerned about unstable pan and tilt operations after 
installation, please contact your dealer.

deterioration and malfunctions>

small diameter

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 85%
•  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 (this 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
