$ Setting the cable compensation circuit of video signals

(COMP switch of the COMP printed circuit board is set to “OFF” in the default setting.)

1 When using the AW-RP501 controller or the AW-HB505 multiport hub (for

transmissions using composite signals)

When this controller (or multiport hub) has been connected to the pan/tilt head, it is
permissible for the connecting cables to be up to 1640 ft. (500 m) long when a
10BASE-T straight cable (UTP category 5) and coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281) are
used. However, when the cable length exceeds 984 ft. (300 m), follow the steps
below to set the cable compensation circuit to “1”. (Default setting: OFF)

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

2. Set the COMP switch on the COMP printed circuit board at the back of the panel to
“1”.

3. Return the panel to its original position and secure it in place using the four screws.

2 When using the AW-RP605A controller

When this controller has been connected to the pan/tilt head, it is permissible for the
connecting cables to be up to 3333 ft. (1000 m) long when a 10BASE-T straight cable
(UTP category 5) and coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281) are used. However, when the
cable length exceeds 1640 ft. (500 m), follow the steps below to set the cable
compensation circuit to “2”. (Default setting: OFF)

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

2. Set the COMP switch on the COMP printed circuit board at the back of the panel to
“2”.

3. Return the panel to its original position and secure it in place using the four screws.

3 When using the AW-RP400 controller

When this controller has been connected to the pan/tilt head, it is permissible for the
connecting cables to be up to 1640 ft. (500 m) long when a 10BASE-T straight cable
(UTP category 5) and coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281) are used.
Since the AW-RC400 cable compensation unit is capable of providing cable
compensation for distances up to 1640 ft. (500 m), there is no need to change the
setting established for the pan/tilt head’s cable compensation circuit.

4 When using a personal computer as the controller (for transmissions using

component signals) and the configuration described in 1

A separate cable compensation unit is required if the cables used to connect the

Be absolutely sure to set the limiters (travel range) of the pan/tilt head before use.
Depending on where the pan/tilt head system has been installed, obstacles may be
present within the travel range with which the camera may come into contact. Contact with
any such obstacle by the camera may cause malfunctioning or accidents.
In this case, contact can be prevented by setting the limiters directly before any such
obstacle.
The controller is used to set the limiters.
The positions of four limiters — namely, the upper, lower, left-most and right-most limits of
the travel range — can be set.
Once they have been set, the positions will not be lost even after the power has been
turned off.

$ Replacing the battery

The battery lasts for about 5 years.
The pan/tilt head stores the preset
positions, limiter positions and other data in
its memory. Although this data is retained
even after the power has been turned off, it
will be lost when the power is turned off
once the battery has reached the end of its
service life.

Replace the battery once it has lost its
effectiveness. (The pan/tilt head uses a
CR2032 manganese dioxide-lithium
battery.)

Removing the battery

1. Remove the four cover screws, and
remove the head cover.

2. Press the battery in the direction shown
by the arrow in the figure, and slide it.

3. From this position, lift the battery from
the bottom of its arrow area.

4. Once the arrow part of the battery has
been removed from the battery holder,
pull the battery forward and out to
remove it completely.

Installing the new battery

1. With the “+” pole of the new battery
turned toward you, insert the end into
the battery holder from the direction of
the arrow.

2. While pushing the battery in the direction
of the arrow, push it right into the holder.

$ Replacing the motor

Replace the motor if it is not working
properly.

• Consult your dealer on how to replace the
motor.

$ Replacing the gear

Replace the gear when its preset stop
accuracy has deteriorated.
