• Install the pan/tilt head after carefully reading the
Operating Instructions for Pan/tilt Head.
• Have four hex bolts (M6 x 4) ready for mounting the
pan/title head.  Select bolts of a length appropriate to
the material and structure of the mounting base and the
overall weight applied to it.  Fasten the bolts securely
with plain washers, spring washers, and hex nuts.  If
the bolts are not securely tightened, the pan/tilt head
might fall to cause injuries or accidents.  In case of sus-
pending the pan/tilt head, locally purchase a wire rod
strong enough to hold the pan/tilt head, camera, and
lenses, pass it through the wire hole opened in a firm
board, such as of the ceiling, for example, and fasten it
securely.
• The switches on the pan/tilt head have been preset
before shipment from the factory on the assumption
that the pan/tilt head would be suspended from the
ceiling.  If the pan/tilt head is mounted on a board, for
example, be sure to shift the mounting direction switch-
es on the pan/tilt head.  Unless this is done, pan/tilt
directions will be reversed and pan/head operation lim-
iter data cannot be properly stored in the memory.  For
details on shifting these switches, refer to the
Operating Instructions for Pan/tilt Head.INSTALLATION OF PAN/TILT HEAD
Have a strong enough wire rod head and fasten it
securely to a firm board, such as of the ceiling.
