A digital video signal processing system is packed in a

compact, lightweight body while assuring high picture
quality, high reliability and high performance.

• System setup and adjustments can be easily
performed by following the setup menu.

• Connection to peripheral devices, such as a RCU, a
ROP and a lens and the camera pan/tilt unit enables a
wide variation of system configurations.

• Option cards may also be installed.

K The following cards are not available for AW-E750,

AW-E655, AW-E650, AW-E350;

· AW-PB301 Component Studio Card:

SPECIAL NOTES ON OPERATION

ENGLISH

• Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting
cables.

• Connection or disconnection of any studio cable,
RCU cable or other cable to any unit of equipment
must be performed while power is off.

• While the camera is in automatic mode;

Shooting of bright objects in ELC operation mode

may result in a smeared picture unique to the CCD.

The ATW function under fluorescent illumination can

adversely change the white balance.

• There is a cooling fan inside.
Do not cover the port or otherwise block ventilation

during operation. Internal heat buildup can cause a
fire.

It is an expendable part, and must be replaced about

every 30 000 hours. (Whenever fan replacement
is necessary, be sure to ask the store where you
purchased the set.) (AW-E750, AW-E655)

- 6 (E) -

PRECAUTIONS

DON’TS

• Do not attempt to disassemble the camera, Remote
Control Unit (RCU) or other units. In order to prevent
electric shock, do not remove screws or covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking,
etc. The camera contains sensitive components
which could be damaged by improper handling or
storage.

• Do not let the lens remain uncapped when the
camera is not in use. If the lens is not installed,
do not leave the lens mount hole uncovered.

• Do not touch the surface of the lens or prism.

• Do not use strong of abrasive detergents when
cleaning the camera body.

• Do not aim the camera toward the sun, no matter
whether it is turned on or not.

• Do not expose the camera, Remote Control Unit
(RCU) or other units to rain or moisture, and do not
try to operate the equipment in wet conditions.
Do not operate the camera or RCU if it becomes wet.

• Do not operate the camera, Remote Control Unit
(RCU) or other units outdoors during a lightning
storm.

• Do not use the camera in an extreme environment
where high temperatures or high humidity exist.

• Do not leave the camera, Remote Control Unit
(RCU) or other units turned on when not in use.
Do not unnecessarily turn the camera power on and
off repeatedly. Do not block the ventilation slots.

• Do not cover the port otherwise block ventilation
during operation. Internal heat buildup can cause a
fire.

- 7 (E) -

DOS

• Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Handle the camera with care.

• Protect the precision made lens by placing the lens
cap over when the camera is not in use. If the lens
is not installed, protect the surface of the prism by
placing the body cap into the lens mount hole.

• Use a mild blower or lens cleaning tissue designed
for coated lenses, to clean the surface of the lens or
prism in the event that it should become dirty.

• Use a dry cloth to clean the camera if it is dirty. In
case the dirt is hard to remove, use mild detergent
and wipe gently.

• Use caution when operating the camera in the
vicinity of spot lights or bright lights, as well as light
reflecting objects and surfaces.

• Take immediate action if ever the camera or RCU
should become wet. Turn the power off and have the
unit checked by an authorized service facility.

• Follow normal safety precautions to avoid personal
injury.

• Use the camera in an environment where the
temperature is within –10 °C to +45 °C and the
relative humidity is within 30 % to 90 %.

• Always turn the power off when the camera is not
going to be used. Operate the camera and RCU only
when there is adequate ventilation.

PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Concerning the mounting screws and drop-prevention wire

The connection and installation should be done by
qualified service personnel or system installers.
Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel.

Attach the drop-prevention wire as a way to prevent
the camera from dropping.

p When the unit is to be mounted onto a Panasonic

pan-tilt head, use the mounting screws and drop­prevention wire that are supplied with the pan-tilt head.

p When the unit is to be mounted onto a surface other

than a pan-tilt head, provide your own drop-prevention
wire and camera mounting bracket. For details of the
parts to be provided, refer to page 11.

p Attach the drop-prevention wire to the camera mounting

screw hole (Inch screw).

The camera cannot be installed or used in the
following locations.

p Outdoor locations and locations where the camera may

be exposed to dripping, splashing or sprayed water

p Locations such as swimming pools where chemicals are

used

p Locations such as a kitchen where the high levels of

steam and oily vapors are present and locations with
flammable atmospheres or other unusual conditions

p Locations where radioactive rays, X-rays or strong radio

waves or magnetic fields are generated

p Locations where the temperature may be outside the

camera’s operating ambient temperature (–10 °C to
45 °C) range

p Locations near the air outlet of an air conditioner or near

a door where the camera will be exposed to incoming

outside air or other locations where the temperature is
subject to sudden change (since these locations may
cause the lens area to cloud over and/or condensation
to form)

p Locations that are subject to significant vibration, such

as on top of a car

p Locations with high levels of humidity or dust

When the camera is not going to be used, do not leave
it in place but be absolutely sure to remove it from its
mounting, and put it away.

Do not run the camera cable near the wiring of electric
lights.

This may result in noise interference.

Concerning electromagnetic interference

The camera’s images may become distorted or noise
interference may result if the camera is used near a TV
or radio transmission antenna or in strong electrical or
magnetic fields (such as one generated by motors,
transformers, etc.).

Using outdoors

The camera is designed to be used indoors.
When using outdoors, be absolutely sure to use the
AW-PH650 outdoor pan-tilt head.

Parts to be provided by the customer for installation

When the unit is to be mounted onto a Panasonic pan-tilt
head, use the mounting screws and drop-prevention wire
that are supplied with the pan-tilt head.
Provide the following parts when the unit is to be mounted
onto a surface other than a pan-tilt head.

 Drop-prevention wire* (sold separately): 1

(*Be absolutely sure to use the drop-prevention wire.)

Drop-prevention wires in three different lengths (300 mm,
450 mm and 600 mm) are available as optional
accessories.

Preventing the camera from falling or coming off

p When attaching a camera to the pan/tilt head

(AW-PH360/AW-PH400/AW-PH405/AW-PH650),
follow the directions in the Operating Instructions to
fix the camera firmly in position.

In addition, link the camera to the pan/tilt head

using the drop-prevention wire and the mounting
screws to help ensure the camera does not fall.

p When attaching the camera on any mounting or

other pan/tilt head (AW-PH360/AW-PH400/
AW-PH405/AW-PH650), check that the mounting
can safely bear the total mass of the camera,
lens, connection cables, etc., fix the camera firmly

Notes

p When installing the mounting bracket or attaching one

end of the drop-prevention wire to the ceiling or a wall, be
absolutely sure to use the anchor bolts, and ensure that
the withdrawal strength of the installation surface is at least
ten times the total mass of all units installed, including the
mounting bracket, camera, lens, and cables.

p Ensure that the total mass, including the mounting bracket,

camera, lens and cables, does not exceed 8 kg.

p Ensure that a drop-prevention wire is installed in such a

way that the drop distance does not exceed 150 mm.
