Installation precautions
In addition to heeding the points presented in the “Safety precautions”, observe the following
precautions as well.
Concerning the installation location
After conferring in detail with your dealer, choose a sturdy
ceiling or other surface, and install the unit.
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.
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
In cold locations where the temperature will drop below
0 °C
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 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
What to avoid to ensure that the unit will perform stably
over a prolonged period
Using the unit for a prolonged period in a location with
high temperature and humidity levels will cause its parts
to deteriorate and shorten its service life.
Do not expose the unit directly to the heat given off in the
installation location or heat from a heater or other such
appliance.
The accessory parts provided with the unit must be
used without fail to install the unit.
Be absolutely sure to use the mounting brackets and
mounting screws provided with the unit to install the unit.
Separately obtain the screws used to mount the
installation surface bracket.
This unit does not come with the screws used to mount the
installation surface bracket.
Obtain the hexagon head bolts (M6), spring washers, flat
washers and, if necessary, nuts.
Tightening the installation screws
Tighten up the screws and bolts to an extent that is
commensurate with the materials and structures in the
installation location.
After tightening up the screws and bolts, visually inspect
for any ricketiness or play, and check that the unit is
secured properly in place.
Use the specified tools and tighten the screws firmly.
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not
leave it lying around, but be absolutely sure to dispose
of it properly.
When installing or disposing of the unit, be absolutely
sure to hold it by its pedestal area.
An accident may occur if its rotating part is held or rotated
by hand.
Do not attach a filter, hood, extender or other parts to
the unit.
Be absolutely sure to use size “R6” or “LR6” dry
batteries for the wireless remote control.
Do not use any other kind of batteries.
Install the unit near the main power outlet, and position
it in such a way that its power plug can be plugged into
and unplugged from the outlet easily.
Do not connect a regular LAN line or telephone line to
the CONTROLLER connector on the unit.
Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

Operating precautions
Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.
To produce pictures with eye-pleasing colours, shoot
under the proper lighting conditions.
The pictures may not appear with their proper colours
when shooting under fluorescent lights. Select the proper
lighting as required.
What happens with high-brightness subjects
Shooting very bright objects may give rise to the smear
effect, which is a phenomenon inherent to CCD cameras.
Smear: This is a type of distortion characterized by
bright vertical stripes appearing on very bright
or shiny subjects, which include light bulbs or
incandescent lamps.
When using the automatic functions
When using the ATW (auto tracking white adjustment)
function under fluorescent lights, the white balance may
vary.
In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto
setting. In cases like this, select the manual setting, and
focus manually.
The appropriate brightness may not be obtained when
shooting bright objects using the auto settings for the
gain and iris. In cases like this, set the shutter speed to
manual, and adjust.
Zooming and focusing
When the focus is set to manual, the subject may go out
of focus during zooming. Therefore, the unit comes with a
function which compensates for this. (Focus compensation
during zooming function)
This function was set to ON at the factory.
If the function has been set to OFF, either adjust the focus,
as required, after zooming or set the focus to auto.
Aspect ratio of the composite video signals
When 1080i or 720p has been selected as the video
format, the aspect ratio of the composite video signals is
fixed at 16:9 (squeeze).
Concerning the zoom position when the power is turned
on
When the unit’s power is turned on, the zoom, focus and iris
return to the positions they occupied immediately before the
power was turned off. (This happens for the focus and iris
when they were set manually.)
However, this position may not be restored if, for instance,
the power cable was disconnected during operation.
Do not approach the moving parts!
Under no circumstances should you bring your fingers or
other parts of your body near the moving parts since doing
so may result in injury.
The unit comes with safe modes.
The safe modes are functions designed to protect people
and property from injury and the pan-tilt head unit from
damage.
For further details, refer to “Safe modes” (page 54).
Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting
the cables.
Always be sure to turn off the power before connecting or
disconnecting the cables.
Handle the unit carefully.
Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong impact or
vibration. Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.
When the unit is not in use
Turn off the unit’s power when it is not in use. When the
unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it lying
around, but be absolutely sure to dispose of it properly.
Do not touch the optical system parts.
The optical system parts are the very heart of the
camera. Under no circumstances must they be touched.
In the unlikely event that they have become dusty, remove
the dust by using a camera blower or by wiping them
gently with a lens cleaning paper.
Refrain from attaching a filter, hood, extender or other
parts to the unit.
Do not mount a filter, hood, extender or other parts on the
unit.
Hold the pedestal when carrying the unit around.
Do not hold the unit by its camera part or pan-tilt head.
Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.
Do not turn the rotating parts by hand.
Turning the rotating parts by hand may cause the unit to
malfunction.
Use the unit in an environment with minimal moisture
and dust.
Avoid using the unit in an environment with high
concentration of moisture or dust since these conditions
will damage the internal parts.
Operating temperature range
Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the
temperature drops below 0 °C or hot locations where
the temperature rises above +40 °C since these
temperatures downgrade the picture quality and
adversely affect the internal parts.
Disposal of the unit
When the unit has reached the end of its service life and
is to be disposed of, ask a qualified contractor to dispose
of the unit properly in order to protect the environment.
