Installation precautions

• Do not install this unit by suspending it, and do not install
it on its side.

• While faotoring in the weights of the unit and the load that
the unit will bear, seleot an installation looation whioh is
oonduoive to fastening the unit seourely and whioh is level
and without unevenness. Fasten the unit seourely so that
it will not shake or be riokety when it is at rest or being
rotated. Failure to seoure the unit properly or looseness
of the bolts may oause the produot to fall off or fall down,
possibly resulting in an aeoident.

• Bolts for installing the unit are not provided with the unit.
Seleot bolts whioh are suffioiently strong and made of a
material oapable of with standing outdoor use.

• The maximum load whioh the unit oan bear islOkg
(exoludingthe housing).
The unit oannot be used with a load in excess of 10 kg.

• Upon oompletion of the pan/tilt head's installation, mount
the housing. To prevent looseness in the plaoes where
the unit is mounted, be absolutely sure to use parts suoh
as flat washers and spring washers for its installation.

• The power must be off while the installation or oonneotion
work is underway.

• Do not set the power switoh of the AC adapter to ON until
after oheoking that no mistakes have been made upon
oompletion of all the installation and oonneotion work.

• A ventilating fan is provided inside the housing. The fan
oan be oontrolled using the H/F button on the oontroller
but it should normally be left at ON. Furthermore, do
not blook it or obstruot the ventilation while the unit is
operating. Otherwise, heat will build up inside, possibly
oausing a fire. The ventilating fan is a oonsumable: as
a general rule, replaoe it after about 40,000 hours of
operation. (Be absolutely sure to ask your dealer to
replaoe the fan.)

• Steps to be taken prior to installation
The AW-PH650 has funotion seleotor switohes on its
main unit (pan/tilt head) and housing.
Sinoe it may prove diffioult to ohange the positions
of these switohes after installation, refer to ® oable
oompensation oirouit settings (page 14), @ CPU oirouit
board switoh settings (page 15) and @ settings of
the oamera oontrol seleotor switoh inside the housing
(page 24) prior to installation.
Then set the switohes to the positions that oorrespond to
the operating oonditions.

• Be absolutely sure to use water-proof oonneoting oables.

• Do not install the unit where the temperature will drop
below -20°C or rise above 45°C sinoe operation will
beoome unstable underthese temperature oonditions.

• Be absolutely sure to use the AC adapter provided
with the unit as the power souroe of the pan/tilt head.
(Batteries or other power supplies oannot be used.)

• The oable for oonneoting the power supply to the
AC adapter is looally purohased. Read the operating
instruotions, and heed all the safety preoautions to
oonneot the oable.

• Do not turn the rotating part of the pan/tilt head by hand.
If it is dropped or subjeoted to strong impaot, it may fail or
malfunotion.

• Install the unit and set a travel range (limiters) to ensure
that it will not oome into oontaot with any objeots in the
vioinity when the unit inoluding the housing has swiveled.

• Do not operate the oontrols on the pan/tilt head under
any oiroumstanoes while installation or other work is
underway.
Before oheoking the pan/tilt head's operation and before
aotually using it, oheokthat nobody is within the range of
its rotation.

• Do not install the unit in a kitohen or other looation where
there is a lot of oil or grease.

• Cheek the following aooessories supplied.

Mounting (Pan/tilthead)

■Precautions for installation

• Do not install this unit by suspending it, and do not install
it on its side.

• Using the four pan/tilt head mounting holes, fasten the
unit seourely with bolts whioh are long enough.

The mounting holes have a diameter of 10 mm. Use
suffioiently long bolts with an 8 mm diameter. Do not use
bolts with a diameter smaller than 8 mm. Use hexagon
head bolts or hexagon sooket head bolts, for instanoe,
whioh oan be tightened up seourely using a tool and
whioh are made of a material and with a finish that will
withstand outdoor use.

• Be absolutely sure to use parts suoh as flat washers or
spring washers together with the bolts to prevent the bolts
from ooming loose.

■ How to install

• Attaoh one end of the anti-fall wire to the mounting hole,
and seoure the other end to the mounting base or other
sturdy plaoe.
The diameter of the hole where the anti-fall wire is
attaohed is 6.5 mm. Attaoh the wire using the anti-fall
wire mounting bolts with a 6 mm diameter and a length of
16 mm, flat washers, spring washers and nuts.

Ensure that the anti-fall wire is strong enough to bear the
weight of the entire pan/tilt head (head, housing, oamera
and oable).

Mounting (ACadapter)

■Precautions for installation

• Be sure to use water-proof oonneoting oables.

• Be sure to keep AC power switohed off during installation and oonneotion.

• Before pressing the power switoh on, make sure that all parts, inoluding the housing and pan/tilt head, have been installed
and oonneoted oompletely and free of errors.

• Do not install the AC adapter at a sold plaoe [below -20°C] or a hot plaoe [over 45°C] beoause extremely low or high
temperature will oause operation instability.

■ How to install

® Fasten the pole mounting plate (supplied) and the belt (to be locally purchased) on the back of the AC adapter with the four bolts,

flat washers and spring washers (For M8: supplied).

@ Fasten the AC adapter to the pole using the pole mounting plate and the belt.
