Do not install this unit by suspending it, and do not install
it on its side.
While factoring in the weights of the unit and the load that
the unit will bear, select an installation location which is
conducive to fastening the unit securely and which is level
and without unevenness. Fasten the unit securely so that
it will not shake or be rickety when it is at rest or being
rotated. Failure to secure the unit properly or looseness
of the bolts may cause the product to fall off or fall down,
possibly resulting in an accident.
Bolts for installing the unit are not provided with the unit.
Select bolts which are sufficiently strong and made of a
material capable of with standing outdoor use.
The maximum load which the unit can bear is 10 kg
(excluding the housing).
The unit cannot be used with a load in excess of 10 kg.
Upon completion of the pan/tilt head’s installation, mount
the housing. To prevent looseness in the places where
the unit is mounted, be absolutely sure to use parts such
as flat washers and spring washers for its installation.
The power must be off while the installation or connection
work is underway.
Do not set the power switch of the AC adapter to ON until
after checking that no mistakes have been made upon
completion of all the installation and connection work.
A ventilating fan is provided inside the housing. The fan
can be controlled using the H/F button on the controller
but it should normally be left at ON. Furthermore, do
not block it or obstruct the ventilation while the unit is
operating. Otherwise, heat will build up inside, possibly
causing a fire. The ventilating fan is a consumable: as
a general rule, replace it after about 40,000 hours of
operation. (Be absolutely sure to ask your dealer to
replace the fan.)
Steps to be taken prior to installation
The AW-PH650 has function selector switches on its
main unit (pan/tilt head) and housing.
Since it may prove difficult to change the positions
of these switches after installation, refer to
cable
compensation circuit settings (page 14), CPU circuit
board switch settings (page 15) and
settings of
the camera control selector switch inside the housing
(page 24) prior to installation.
Then set the switches to the positions that correspond to
the operating conditions.
Be absolutely sure to use water-proof connecting cables.
Do not install the unit where the temperature will drop
below –20°C or rise above 45°C since operation will
become unstable under these temperature conditions.
Be absolutely sure to use the AC adapter provided
with the unit as the power source of the pan/tilt head.
(Batteries or other power supplies cannot be used.)
The cable for connecting the power supply to the
AC adapter is locally purchased. Read the operating
instructions, and heed all the safety precautions to
connect the cable.
Do not turn the rotating part of the pan/tilt head by hand.
If it is dropped or subjected to strong impact, it may fail or
malfunction.
Install the unit and set a travel range (limiters) to ensure
that it will not come into contact with any objects in the
vicinity when the unit including the housing has swiveled.
Do not operate the controls on the pan/tilt head under
any circumstances while installation or other work is
underway.
Before checking the pan/tilt head’s operation and before
actually using it, check that nobody is within the range of
its rotation.
Do not install the unit in a kitchen or other location where
there is a lot of oil or grease.
Check the following accessories supplied.

Mounting (Pan/tilt head)
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 securely with bolts which are long enough.
The mounting holes have a diameter of 10 mm. Use
sufficiently long bolts with an 8 mm diameter. Do not use
bolts with a diameter smaller than 8 mm. Use hexagon
head bolts or hexagon socket head bolts, for instance,
which can be tightened up securely using a tool and
which are made of a material and with a finish that will
withstand outdoor use.
Be absolutely sure to use parts such as flat washers or
spring washers together with the bolts to prevent the bolts
from coming loose.
How to install
Attach one end of the anti-fall wire to the mounting hole,
and secure the other end to the mounting base or other
sturdy place.
The diameter of the hole where the anti-fall wire is
attached is 6.5 mm. Attach 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, camera
and cable).

Precautions when controlling the
AK-HC1500 from the AW-CB400
The AK-HC1500 supports the AK-HRP150 protocol and
AW-CB400 protocol, and it is the AK-HRP150 protocol
which was set before the AK-HC1500 was shipped from the
factory.
When controlling the AK-HC1500 using the AW-CB400,
follow the steps below to change the protocol setting of
AK-HC1500 from AK-HRP150 to AW-CB400.
When changing the protocol before installation
Refer to the operating instructions of the AK-HC1500,
and change the protocol.
When changing the protocol after installation
Proceed with the installation following the steps given
in the section entitled “Installation”.
Loosen the two top cover open/close bolts of the
camera housing, and open the top cover.
Set the power switch of the AC adapter to ON.
When the power of the AK-HC1500 has been
turned on, refer to the operating instructions of the
AK-HC1500, and change the protocol. (Change the
PROTOCOL setting on the SETTING menu to “4”.)
Set the power switch of the AC adapter to OFF.
Connections with AC adapter
Disconnect the AC power cable which was already
attached.
The cable used is purchased locally. Purchase a water-
proof cable designed to be used outdoors.
Use a cable which has a high enough capacity (AC 220
to 240 V, 2 A or more).
Pass the cable through the rubber bushing for the AC
power input cable, and tighten it securely so that rain
water or drops of water will not seep inside.
[Thickness of compatible cable: 6.5 mm to 8.5 mm
diameter]
Attach the power line (N, L) to the terminal block.
Attach the ground line (FG) to the grounding screw ().

Precautions when using the AK-HC910
The AK-HC910 is capable of outputting HD-SDI signals and Y/PB/PR signals, but when the Y/PB/PR signals are used as the
main line, do not connect any signals to the SDI IN/OUT connector.
Connect signals to the SDI OUT connector only when using HD-SDI signals as the main line.

• Since the iris control of the AK-HRP150 and AW-RP655 is not coordinated, it may vary significantly when it is operated
initially after the controller used to exercise control has been switched.
• The IRIS indicator on the AW-RP655 can be displayed only when the iris data can be imported from the camera; when it
cannot be imported, the CLOSE display appears or no display appears but this does not mean that something is wrong with
the iris control.

Limiters
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.
Multi function controller (AW-RP655) 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.
