7. Do not place this appliance on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The appliance may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance.
Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance.
Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer
’s instructions, and should use a

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
8. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to
insure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, these openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface. This appliance should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This appliance
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
9. This appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For appliance designed
to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.
10. This appliance system is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third (grounding) pin). This plug
will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
11. For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it form the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
12. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this appliance where the cord will be abused by
persons walking on it.
13. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the appliance.
14. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
15. Never push objects of any kind into this appliance through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
16. Do not attempt to service this appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
17. Unplug this appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following condi-
tions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
c. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to normal operation.
e. If the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance
– this indicates a need for service.
18. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
19. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this appliance, ask the service technician to perform routine safety
checks to determine that the appliance is in safe operating condition.
E-3
To prolong the service life of the RM-P210, do not use it or
store it in the following places.
A place subject to extremely high or low temperatures.
A place subject to excessive vibration.
A place subject to excessive dust.
A place subject to high humidity.
A place near to a strong source of noise.
Do not apply strong vibrations or impact to the RM-P210
during installation or transportation.
If the supply voltage is too high or low, the ser vice life of the
RM-P210 may be reduced or it may not be able to provide
an optimum performance.
Do not connect or disconnect the camera cable connector
while the RM-P210 is ON.
After turning the RM-210 OFF, wait at least 10 seconds
before turning it ON again.
Noise may interfere with the video when the RM-210 is in-
stalled near a source of strong magnetism, such as a radio
or TV transmitting antenna, power transformer or motor.
While the values set by using the menus are retained in the
memory even after the unit is turned off, those set using the
front panel switches and controls are retained for about 10
days only and then the factory-set defaults are reset.
As the LCD contrast is reduced at low temperatures, it should
be re-adjusted before use in such conditions.
: Item “6A: CONTRAST” on page 25.
When a transceiver or cellular phone is used near to a RM-
210 or to a camera connected to it, noise may interfere with
the video. However, this is not a malfunction.
INTRODUCTION
Cable extension up to 100 meters
The cable between the camera and the RM-P210 Remote
Control Unit can be extended up to 100 meters using the
optional VC-P110 series camera cables. Even when the
cable is extended, the power to the camera is supplied from
the RM-P210 so there is no need to provide a separate
power supply for the camera.
Genlock Function Built In
Genlocking is possible using a composite video (VBS) or a
black burst (BB) signal. The SC and H phases can be ad-
justed from the front panel.
FEATURES
PROVIDED ACCESSORIES AND DOCUMENTS
PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
When an intercom is used, radio interference may occa-
sionally affect any system that is connected to the RM-P210.
In such a case the INTERCOM G (GND) terminal provided
to the RM-P210 should be grounded.
In a multiple camera setup, if the adjustments made to the
different cameras deviate significantly, the cameras may not
be able to function satisfactorily. Be sure to adjust the cam-
eras accordingly before using them with the RM-P210.
Use camera cables with standard lengths, as specified.
Otherwise, the camera cable compensation may not be able
to work efficiently.
The RM-P210 can be connected to the following cameras:
● GY-DV550
● KY-D29
● KY-D29W
● KY-27C
● KY-19
For the viewfinder to be used with each camera model, see
page 7. The controllable functions vary depending on the
camera model.
: "Functions Available Depending on Camera
Models" on page 28.
When connecting the RM-P210 to the camera, do not con-
nect a local remote controller to the camera.
If the RM-P210 is rack-mounted, be sure to insert venti-
lated panels above and below it in order to improve ventila-
tion. Do not stack two RM-P210 units or place any object on
top of a RM-P210 unit.
To save power consumption, turn the RM-P210 OFF when
it is not in use.
Power cord Instructions
Camera control using serial communication
The camera control signals are sent by the serial data trans-
mission method.
The camera and the RM-P210 are connected by two data
lines so that the CPUs incorporated in the camera and the
RM-P210 are in intercommunication, thus facilitating accu-
rate camera control operations.
Multiple output circuits
In addition to two composite video output circuits (VBS),
the R/G/B component signals, Y/R-Y/B-Y component sig-
nals or separate Y/C signals (for S-VHS VCR) can be se-
lected according to the purpose or application.
