nBefore Installing
Before installing the pan/tilt head, be sure to make the
following settings and changes.
lSetting the Mounting Direction Switches
and Setting Others in Case of Using
Contact Type Controller, RS232C
To mount the pan/tilt head upright, or to control the
pan/tilt head with a contact type controller or RS-232C,
make the following settings.
(This is unnecessary in case of controlling a suspend-
ed pan/tilt head from a control panel.)
• Remove the cover screws from the pan/tilt head and
carefully remove the cover.
(Be careful of the tally Indicator leads when removing
the cover.)
• Set switches SW1, SW2, and SW3 on the front PCB as
follows:
Pan/tilt head suspended:Set SW1 and SW2 to the
down position.  (Default)
Pan/tilt head upright:Set SW1 and SW2 to the up
position.
Pan/tilt head controlled with control panel:Set SW3
to the down position.  (Default)
Pan/tilt head controlled with contact type controller
with RS-232C:Set SW3 to the up position.
• Place the cover back on and fasten it with the screws.
(Be careful not to get the leads caught.)

lSetting the Cable Compensation Circuit
If the pan/tilt head is connected to the controller with
coaxial cables (5C-2V), the maximum allowable dis-
tance between them is 500 meters.  If the cable length
between them is more than 300 meters, however, set
the cable compensation circuit switch to the ON posi-
tion as described below.
• Remove the 4 screws from Control Connector Panel !2
and pull out the panel toward yourself.
• Set the switch on the PCB on the back of the panel to
the ON position.
• Mount Control Connector Panel !2 back and fasten it
with the screws.
lChanging Others
Changing the Position of Control Connector Panil
The position of Control Connector Panel !2can be
changed if necessary.
• Remove the blank panel in the position where you
wish to mount Control Connector Panel !2
.
• Remove the screws from Control Connector Panel
!2and pull out the panel up front.
• Disconnect all the 6 connectors on the PCB on the
back of the panel.
• Take Control Connector Panel to the desired posi-
tion, and connect the PCB connectors back as
before.
• Fasten Control Connector Panel !2 and the blank
panel with the screws.
Changing the Direction of Control Connector Panel.
The direction of Control Connector Panel !2can be
changed by 180° if necessary.
• Remove the screws from Control Connector Panel
!2and pull out the panel up front.
• Turn the panel 180°, and place it back in position.
• Fasten the panel with the screws.
Changing the Direction of Camera Connector Panel 
The direction of Camera Connector Panel ican be
changed by 180° if necessary.

• Turn the panel 180°, and place it back in position.
• Fasten the panel with the screws.
nMounting the Pan/tilt Head
Observe the following instructions for mounting the
pan/tilt head.
Failure to observe these instructions could cause the
pan/tilt head to come off or drop, possibly resulting in
an accident.
• To mount the pan/tilt head, use the 4 mounting holes
and fasten the head securely.
• Have M6 hex bolts ready for mounting the head.
• The hex bolts must be long enough to meet the
requirement “mounting material thickness (t) plus 25
mm or longer.”
Camera Connector 
Panel iControl Connector 
Panel !2
• Use plain and spring washers and hex nuts with the
hex bolts as shown in the figure.
• Use a wrench of the size that fits the hex bolt head to
tighten the hex bolts.
• To mount the pan/tilt head suspended, pass wire
through the anti-drop wire hole and fasten the pan/tilt
head to a ceiling or other firm object, securing it with
the wire.
• Have a wire ready strong enough to bear the overall
weight of the pan/tilt head, camera and lens.
*In mounting the pan/tilt head, never forcibly turn the
head or tilting arm in the arrow directions by hand.

							lConnecting Other Controllers
P/T CONTROL IN (CONTACT/RS-232C)
Connect it in case of controlling the pan/tilt head with a
contact type controller, or via an RS-232C.  Have a
cable ready which meets the signal requirements
specified in the pin assignment table below.  TThe
cable must have a nominal cross section of 0.3 mm
2or
more and meets the UL specifications.
The applicable connector is a bellows type 28-pin
(1.27-mm pitch) plug.
Note:When using a contact type controller or an RS-
232C, the switches must be set as specified in the
item on the use of contact type controller, RS-
232C in the section BEFORE INSTALLING at page
9.

It is recommended that the limiters (operating range)
be set before use.
Depending on where the pan/tilt head is installed, the
camera might contact an obstacle present in the oper-
ating range.
In such a case, the limiters may be set to prevent the
camera from contacting such an obstacle.
The limiters can be set from the control panel at four
points: upper limit, lower limit, left limit, and right limit.
Once the limiters are set, the set positions remain valid
even if power is switched off.
