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.

Installation
(The installation work must be performed by your dealer without fail.)
$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.
