Installation precautions

OAvoid using the pan-tilt head in kitchens or other places where there is excessive steam

and oil fumes.

OMake sure that the installation of the pan-tilt head has been completed before mounting

the camera onto it.

OThis pan-tilt head has a maximum load capacity of 8.8 lb (4 kg).

Do not use it for loads over 8.8 lb (4 kg).

ODo not use a lens that will cause the camera to be poorly balanced. Such a lens should

not be used even if the load capacity is under 8.8 lb (4 kg).

ODo not install the pan-tilt head outdoors or in any place where the temperature is over

113°F (45°C) or below 14°F (–10°C). Further, it should be used where the ambient humidity is less than 90%.

OScrews for mounting the pan-tilt head are not provided with the stand and must therefore

be purchased separately. They should be selected with due consideration given to the location where the pan-tilt head is to be mounted and its load capacity.

OTo supply power to the pan-tilt head, use only the AC adapter (AW-PS300) designed for

use with this pan-tilt head.

OWhen handling the pan-tilt head, be sure to hold it by the base.

Do not lift the pan-tilt head by the head or tilting arm. Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.

ODo not turn the head or tilting arm by hand.

Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.

ODropping the pan-tilt head or subjecting it to a strong shock may cause malfunctioning or

an accident.

OInstall the pan-tilt head so that a clearance of at least one meter is left around the

monitor.

OWhen mounting a camera onto the pan-tilt head, take due care to prevent the camera

from slipping out of position or dropping.

OInstall the pan-tilt head and set the limiters so as to ensure that none of the components

mounted on the pan-tilt head or cables will make contact with any other objects in the vicinity when the pan-tilt head rotates.

Precautions for use

This pan-tilt head uses a manganese dioxide-lithium battery (CR2032). Be absolutely sure to remove this battery when disposing of the pan-tilt head or printed circuit boards. Be sure to dispose of any batteries removed according to the applicable regulations of the country concerned. Do not dispose of this type of battery as household garbage. For details on how to remove the battery, refer to the section on replacing the battery in “Replacement of consumable parts” (page 32).

$Setting the installation direction selector switch and landing

characteristics

Set the switches as follows to perform a stand-alone installation and/or to select the landing characteristics. (Suspended installation and soft landing are the factory settings.)

1. Remove the four head cover screws, and remove the cover slowly. (Take care not to disturb the tally LED lamp wiring connections when removing the cover.)

2. Set the SW2, SW3 and SW4 switches on the front printed circuit board as follows.

For suspended installation:

Set SW3 and SW4 to their left-side positions (HANGING). (Factory setting)

For stand-alone installation:

Set SW3 and SW4 to their right-side positions (TOP).

For a soft landing:

Set SW2 switch No.4 to its top (ON) position. (Factory setting)

For a precise landing:

Set SW2 switch No.4 to its bottom (OFF) position.

3. Upon completion of the settings, return the rotary head cover to its original position, and secure it with the screws (while taking care not to pinch the wires).

<Notes>

OBefore setting the switches, make absolutely sure that the power of the AC adapter

which is to be connected to the pan-tilt head is set to OFF.

OThe landing characteristics are not changed simply by selecting the switch positions.

They are changed only after the power is turned off and back on again after the switches have been set.

$Setting the cable compensation circuit

A maximum length of up to 3,280 feet (1,000 meters) is allowed for the cable between each pan-tilt head and the multi-function controller (AW-RP605) (when BELDEN 8281 coaxial cables are used). However, if the cable length is to exceed 1,640 feet (500 meters), set the cable compensation circuit to ON by following the steps below. (Factory setting: OFF)

1. Remove the four screws of the base connector panel, and pull the panel out toward you.

2. Set the COMP switch on the COMP printed circuit board on the back side of the panel to ON.

3. Return the panel to its original position, and secure it using the screws.
