or system installers. Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel.
3. When mounting the camera onto a pan-tilt head
(AW-PH400), do not use the anchoring rubber piece
supplied with the pan-tilt head.
If this rubber piece is used, the camera’s ventilation
holes will be blocked, causing the temperature inside the
camera to rise and possibly resulting in a malfunction.
Do not use the anchoring
rubber piece when
mounting the AW-HE870
camera.
Indoor Pan/tilt Head AW-PH400
Notes
For the specifications of the camera mounting screw
holes, refer to “Major operating controls and their
functions” on page 15.
When using the camera mounting screw holes on the
camera’s top surface (when mounting the camera by
suspending it), take care not to block the ventilation
holes of the cooling fan.
When using the camera mounting screw holes on the
camera’s top surface (when mounting the camera by
suspending it), attach the drop-prevention wire to the
camera mounting screw holes on the camera’s bottom
surface.
Do not mount the camera upside down because this
will cause the temperature inside the camera to rise,
possibly resulting in a malfunction.
When mounting the camera onto a pan-tilt head,
mount it securely after obtaining a full understanding
of the mounting procedure in the operating
instructions of the pan-tilt head.

Notes
Three-value synchronizing signals of
the HD format are not supported.
When using external synchronization,
only the output signal for the selected
video output format (Format) will be
synchronized (1080i, 720p, or 480i).
When selecting an HD format
(1080i or 720p), neither the VIDEO
OUT signal (composite signal)
nor the Y/C signal output from the
AW-CA50T8 S-Video terminal will
be synchronized with the external
synchronizing signal.
To synchronize the VIDEO OUT
signal (composite signal) or
the Y/C signal output from the
AW-CA50T8 S-Video terminal with
the external synchronizing signal,
use “480i” as the video output
format (selected from the camera
menu).
