Operating precautions

Handle the units carefully.

Dropping the units or subjecting them to strong impact may give rise to malfunctioning or accidents.

Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cables.

Be absolutely sure to turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cables.

Do not use the units outdoors.

Maintenance

Wipe the units using a dry cloth. To remove stubborn dirt, dip a cloth into a diluted solution of kitchen detergent, wring them out well, and wipe the units gently.

<Caution>

Avoid using benzine, paint thinners and other volatile fluids.

If a chemical cleaning cloth is to be used, carefully read through the precautions for its use.

Indoor Pan/Tilt Head AW-PH400

Introduction

The stand-alone indoor pan/tilt head can be rotated through 300 degrees in the vertical direction and 400 degrees in the horizontal direction.

Operations can be performed at high speeds of up to 90 degrees per second.

Equipment such as a camera and lens with a total weight of 17.6 lbs (8 kg) can be mounted on the unit.

The camera can also be rotated using the AW-RL400 roll unit available as an option.

The shooting positions and settings for up to 50 positions can be registered as preset memory data.

NOTE

The AW-PH400 cannot be controlled from the AW-RP301, AW-RP305, AW-RP501, AW-RP505, AW-RP605 or AW-RP605A controller.

In order to protect the environment when the pan/tilt head is to be discarded at the end of its service life, ask a specialized contractor to dispose of it properly.

The AW-PH400 uses a manganese dioxide-lithium battery (CR2032).

Before discarding the pan/tilt head or its printed circuit boards, be absolutely sure to remove the battery.

Be absolutely sure to dispose of the removed battery in accordance with the applicable domestic laws and regulations.

Do not throw out the battery along with the general household garbage.

For the procedure to remove the battery, refer to the section on replacing the battery in “Replacing the consumable parts” (page 19).

Replace the lithium battery here.

Indoor Pan/Tilt Head AW-PH400

Installation precautions

≥ Do not install the unit on any of its sides.

 

≥ Avoid using the unit in the kitchen and other locations with lots of steam and oily vapors.

 

≥ Mount the camera on the pan/tilt head only when you have finished installing it.

 

≥ The maximum load-bearing capacity of this unit is 17.6 lbs (8 kg).

 

It cannot be used if the load to be borne exceeds 17.6 lbs (8 kg).

 

≥ Do not use a lens which will impair or upset the unit’s balance.

PH400-AW

 

Even if the load borne by the unit is less than 17.6 lbs (8 kg), it cannot be used if the unit will be set off-balance by the lens

 

mounted on it.

 

≥ Do not install the unit outdoors or in places where the temperature will be hotter than 113°F (45°C) or colder than 32°F (0°C).

 

Use the unit in places where the humidity is below 90%.

 

≥ Purchase the mounting screws separately since they are not supplied with the unit.

 

≥ Do not hold or lift the unit by its rotating part. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

 

≥ Do not turn the unit’s rotating part by hand. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

 

≥ Dropping the unit or subjecting it to strong impact may give rise to malfunctioning.

 

≥ Leave a clearance of at least 3.3 ft (1 meter) from around the monitor when installing the unit.

 

≥ When mounting the camera on the unit, take sufficient steps to ensure that it will not become detached from the unit or fall

 

onto the floor.

 

≥ Install the unit in such a way that the equipment mounted on it and its cables will not come into contact with anything when the

 

pan/tilt head swivels, and set definite movement limits.

Indoor Pan/Tilt Head AW-PH400

Installation (Be sure to ask your dealer to install the unit.)

$ Installing the pan/tilt head

When installing the pan/tilt head, follow the instructions below carefully.

In order to prevent accidents resulting when the product becomes dislodged or falls down, be absolutely sure to proceed as instructed. Do not install the pan/tilt head on its side since its prescribed operation and performance cannot be ensured.

After the pan/tilt head has been installed, mount the camera on it.

When installing the pan/tilt head, use the four mounting holes to secure the pan/tilt head firmly.

Use the M6 hexagon head bolts (including one short bolt) for installation.

Use hexagon head bolts which are longer than the thickness (t) of the mounted member + 25 mm.

As shown in the figure, use flat washers, spring washers and hexagon nuts for the hexagon head bolts.

Use a wrench of the appropriate size to tighten up the hexagon head bolts.

When installing the pan/tilt head on the ceiling, attach the wire together with the bolts, and then anchor them securely to a rigid part of the ceiling.

Use a wire which is strong enough to bear the weight of the entire pan/tilt head (pan/tilt head, camera and lens cable).

Install the pan/tilt head in such a way that the equipment and cable attached to it will not make contact with any surrounding objects when the head is swiveled.
