1. Set all the power switches of the connected components and the power switch of the AC adapter to ON.

2. Set this unit’s OPERATE switch to ON. Power will be supplied to the pan/tilt head system connected to this unit, and the camera’s initial settings will be performed in sequence.

 It takes about 5 seconds to perform the camera’s initial settings for each camera.

The pan/tilt head system cannot be controlled until these settings are completed.

 Be sure to set power switches on all connected equipment and AC adapters to

ON before setting the control panel’s OPERATE switch to ON.

When the pan/tilt head system is connected (or changed) and its power is turned on for the first time, the connected cameras will be initialized. Upon completion of the initialization, adjust or set the following items. After the items are adjusted or set, proceed to the section entitled “Setting the travel range (limiters) of the pan/tilt head”. Once the adjustments are made, there is no need for any re-adjustments unless changes are made to the pan/tilt head, camera or lens. (The items to the re-set or re-adjusted differ depending on the unit which is changed.)

 Adjusting the minimum start speed of the pan/tilt

head

When the pan/tilt head is to be operated manually using the joystick, its minimum start speed is automatically adjusted to ensure that the pan/tilt head will start moving smoothly in response to the angle to which the PAN/TILT lever is tilted. (This will reduce the amount of play in the PAN/TILT lever.)

1. Use the CONTROL button to select the pan/tilt head whose minimum start speed is to be adjusted.

2. Press the MODE button while holding down the MEMORY button.

3. The MODE button lamp starts flashing, and the standby status is established.

4. Press the MODE button to start the adjustment.

5. While the minimum start speed is being adjusted, the lamps of both the MEMORY button and MODE button flash.

6. The adjustment is completed when the lamps of both the MEMORY button and MODE button go off.

7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for the other pan/tilt heads.

If the lamps of both the MEMORY button and MODE button light up and the adjustment process ends, check whether the camera mounted on the pan/tilt head is balanced properly and whether the pan/tilt head cable or other parts are making contact with any objects in the vicinity before proceeding again from step 2. When the joystick is operated while the minimum start speed is being adjusted, the adjustment will be forcibly terminated and only that portion of the setting performed up until that point will be stored in the memory.

Adjusting the backlash compensation

Play in the gears may give rise to backlash when the pan/tilt head is moved. This adjustment serves to provide compensation for reducing the amount of this backlash. (Backlash: For instance, after the pan/tilt head has moved from right to left and then come to a standstill, there is a delay in the start of the movement when it moves in the opposite direction. This happens because of play in the gears. The same phenomenon also occurs when the head moves from left to right, up to down or down to up.)

1. Use the CONTROL button to select the pan/tilt head whose backlash compensation is to be adjusted.

2. Press the MENU button while holding down the MEMORY button.

3. The MENU button lamp starts flashing, and the standby status is established.

4. Press the MENU button to establish the setting mode. The lamps of both the MEMORY button and MENU button start flashing. If the joystick is operated at this point, the adjustment will be forcibly terminated.

5. Press the PRESET 1 to 8 buttons to set the compensation amounts. This amount is lowest for the PRESET 1 button and highest for the PRESET 8 button. When the PRESET 10 button is pressed, the compensation is set to OFF. When the PRESET 1 to 8 and 10 buttons are pressed, the lamps of both the MEMORY button and MENU button stop flashing, and the setting mode is exited.

The same backlash compensation values are applied to both panning and tilting.

 Use the OFF setting if backlash is not a concern. When making an adjustment, be

absolutely sure to move the pan/tilt head, and perform actual operations to check whether the compensation amount is appropriate before deciding on the proper amount. If this amount is excessive, the pan/tilt head will start returning in the opposite direction as soon as it has been made to come to a standstill.

6. If the compensation amount is inadequate, repeat steps 2 to 5, and find the optimum setting.

7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for the other pan/tilt heads.

Adjusting the minimum start speed of the lens zoom

Perform this adjustment to ensure that the lens zoom will function smoothly in response to the angle to which the ZOOM lever is tilted when it is used to zoom the lens.

1. Use the CONTROL button to select the pan/tilt head whose lens zoom minimum start speed is to be adjusted.

2. Press the IRIS button while holding down the MEMORY button.

3. The IRIS button lamp starts flashing, and the standby status is established.

4. Press the IRIS button to establish the setting mode. The lamps of both the MEMORY button and IRIS button start flashing. If the joystick is operated at this point, the adjustment will be forcibly terminated.

5. Press the PRESET 1 to 8 buttons to set the compensation amounts. This amount is lowest for the PRESET 1 button and highest for the PRESET 8 button. When the PRESET 10 button is pressed, the compensation is set to OFF. When the PRESET 1 to 8 and 10 buttons are pressed, the lamp of the IRIS button stops flashing, and the setting mode is exited.

6. Move the ZOOM lever slowly and, while monitoring the image on the monitor, check whether the lens zoom starts moving smoothly. If the lens zoom fails to starts moving smoothly, repeat steps 2 to 5 and find the optimum value.

7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for the other pan/tilt heads.

Setting the travel range (limiters) of the pan/tilt head

Depending on where it has been installed, there may be obstacles within the travel range of the pan/tilt head system with which the system may come into contact. The pan/tilt head system may malfunction or an accident may occur if the system comes into contact with such an obstacle.
