ODo not install the pan/tilt head on any of its sides.
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-PS300A) designed
for use with this pan/tilt head. The pan/tilt head cannot be powered by batteries or any
other source of power.
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 3.3 ft. (1 m) 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.

Precautions for use
OIn order to protect the environment when the pan/tilt head is to be discarded at the end
of its service life, ask a specialized contractor to dispose of it properly.
OThis pan/tilt head uses a manganese dioxide-lithium battery (CR2032).
Be absolutely sure to remove this battery when disposing of the pan/tilt head or printed
circuit boards.
Be sure to dispose of any batteries removed according to the applicable regulations of
the country concerned.
Do not dispose of this type of battery as household garbage.
For details on how to remove the battery, refer to the section on replacing the battery in
“Replacement of consumable parts” (page 47).
OTo prevent malfunction because of contact with any objects in the vicinity when the
pan/tilt head rotates, the unit is set to be shifted to the safe mode and the unit’s tally
lamp blinks if the overload to it happens.
In the safe mode, neither pan nor tilt operate.
To release the safe mode, turn off the power of the AC adapter connected to the pan/tilt
head to dissolve the overload, then turn on the power again.

							$Controller selection switch / installation direction switch /
landing characteristics settings
The following switches are set when determining controller selections, stand alone
settings and landing characteristics settings.
(RP501 / suspended installation / soft landing are the default 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 SW1, SW2 and SW4 switches on the front printed circuit board as follows.
For AW-RP301/AW-RP305/AW-RP501/AW-RP505/AW-RP400:
Set SW1 switch to its right-side position (RP501). (Factory setting)
For AW-RP605A:
Set SW1 switch to its left-side position (RP605).
For suspended installation:
Set SW2 to its left-side position (HANGING). (Factory setting)
For stand-alone installation:
Set SW2 to its right-side position (DESKTOP).
For a soft landing:
Set SW4 switch No.4 to its top position (ON). (Factory setting)
For a precise landing:
Set SW4 switch No.4 to its bottom position (OFF).
3. Upon completion of the settings, return the head cover to its original position, and
secure it with the screws (while taking care not to pinch the wires).

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 controller selection and 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.
