The unit can be connected to one CCU (AK-UCU500/AK-UCU600) via a serial connection.
Eliminate the need for individual ROP cables by connecting up to 99 CCUs via a network hub (100base-TX switching hub).
The unit is equipped with PoE*1, allowing connection to a network device that supports the PoE standard (IEEE802.3af com-
pliant)*2.
The ROP Setup Software can be used to set the camera connections.
*1: Power over Ethernet. Referred to as "PoE" in this manual.
*2: For details on PoE power supply devices for which operation has been verified, consult your dealer or Panasonic representative.

Introduction

Precautions for Use
In addition to the safety precautions given in “Read this first!”, also observe the following instructions.
Handle carefully
Do not drop the unit or expose it to strong impacts or vibrations. Do not carry the unit by the [IRIS] lever. Doing so may cause a fail-
ure or accident.
Use the product in an ambient temperature of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F)
Exposure to temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F) could adversely affect Internal components.
Power off before connecting or disconnecting cables
Connect and disconnect cables when the unit is turned off.
Avoid humidity and dust
Avoid using the product in a very humid or dusty place because a lot of humidity and dust will cause damage to the internal com-
ponents.
Cleaning
Turn the power off and wipe the product with a dry cloth.
To remove stubborn dirt, dip a cloth into a diluted solution of kitchen detergent (neutral detergent), wring it out well, and wipe the
product gently. Then, wipe the product with a cloth dampened with water. Finally, wipe the product with a dry cloth.
NOTE
Avoid using benzine, paint thinners and other volatile fluids.
If a chemical cleaning cloth is to be used, carefully read through the precautions for its use.
Avoid open flames
Do not place candles and other sources open flame near the unit.
Avoid exposure to water
Make sure that the unit is not directly exposed to water. Exposure to water could damage it.
Disposal of the unit
When the unit has reached the end of its service life and is to be disposed of, ask a qualified contractor to dispose of the unit prop-
erly in order to protect the environment.
LCD panels
The pixels of the LCD panel are controlled to obtain high precision with 99.99% of the effective pixels. This leaves less than
0.01% of pixels that may not light or may remain on all the time.
This is normal and will have no effect on the images you shoot.
There may be some unevenness on the screen depending on the image displayed.
Wiping or rubbing the LCD screen with a rough cloth may damage it.
LCD response time and brightness vary with operating temperature.
When the unit is left in a high-temperature and high-humidity location for prolonged periods, the LCD panel characteristics may
change and result in uneven image quality.
Due to the characteristics of LCD panels, prolonged display of bright still images or prolonged operation in high-temperature or
high-humidity environments may result in residual images, luminance reduction, burn-in, banding, or panel defects and degrad-
ation that result in areas of permanently changed brightness.
In addition, avoid prolonged continuous use in the following types of environments.
Confined areas with high temperature and humidity
Near the exhaust vent of air conditioning equipment, etc.
Prolonged use involving the images and environments described above will accelerate deterioration of the LCD panel over time.
To prevent deterioration over time and its related phenomena, we recommend the following.
Do not display bright still images for prolonged periods.
Lower the brightness.
Turn off the power of the unit (and the power of the CCU and hub) when the unit is not in use.
Residual images will gradually disappear as different images are displayed.

Introduction

Precautions for Installation
In addition to the safety precautions given in “Read this first!”, also observe the following instructions.
Be sure to ask your dealer to perform the installation and connection work for the unit.
Cable connections
Be sure to use dedicated ROP cables (Hirakawa Hewtech Corp. 20379-FG-SV-10 cables or equivalent).
If the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the ROP cables to save electricity.
Concerning PoE power supply
The unit complies with the IEEE802.3af standard. Use a compatible Ethernet hub and PoE injector to use a PoE power supply.
For details on Ethernet hubs and PoE injectors for which operations have been verified, consult your dealer.
Grounding
Ground the system via the <SIGNAL GND> terminal on the unit.
A
A. <SIGNAL GND> terminal
Handle carefully
Dropping the unit or subjecting it to a strong impact or vibration may cause a failure or accident.
Do not allow any foreign objects to enter inside the unit.
Allowing water, metal items, food or drink, or other foreign objects to enter inside the unit may cause a fire or electric shock.
Installation location
This unit is designed for indoor use only.
Use the unit on a stable and horizontal surface that is sufficiently capable of supporting its weight.
When the unit will be recessed into a panel or table, make sure that enough space is provided for ventilation and cables.
Do not install the unit in a location where it and the cables can be easily damaged.
Do not install the unit in a cold place where the temperature drops below 0 °C (32 °F) or in a hot place where the temperature rises
above 40 °C (104 °F).
Avoid installing the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or near an outlet from which hot air is blown out.
Installing the unit in a location with a lot of humidity, dust, or vibration may result in a failure.
