$Transmission signal selection setting
The switches on the COMP and CONNECTOR printed circuit boards must be set to
correspond to the signals to be transmitted and components to be connected to the
pan/tilt head.
(When shipped, the analog settings are supported.)

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.OAnalog/IEEE1394 card settings

$Setting the cable compensation circuit of video signals
(COMP switch of the COMP printed circuit board is set to “OFF” in the default setting.)
1When using the AW-RP501 controller or the AW-HB505 multiport hub (for
transmissions using composite signals)
When this controller (or multiport hub) has been connected to the pan/tilt head, it is
permissible for the connecting cables to be up to 1640 ft. (500 m) long when a
10BASE-T straight cable (UTP category 5) and coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281) are
used. However, when the cable length exceeds 984 ft. (300 m), follow the steps
below to set the cable compensation circuit to “1”. (Default setting: OFF)
1. Remove the four screws on the base connector rear panel, and pull out the panel
toward you.
2. Set the COMP switch on the COMP printed circuit board at the back of the panel to
“1”.
3. Return the panel to its original position and secure it in place using the four screws.
2When using the AW-RP605A controller
When this controller has been connected to the pan/tilt head, it is permissible for the
connecting cables to be up to 3333 ft. (1000 m) long when a 10BASE-T straight cable
(UTP category 5) and coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281) are used. However, when the
cable length exceeds 1640 ft. (500 m), follow the steps below to set the cable
compensation circuit to “2”. (Default setting: OFF)
1. Remove the four screws of the base connector rear panel, and pull out the panel
toward you.
2. Set the COMP switch on the COMP printed circuit board at the back of the panel to
“2”.
3. Return the panel to its original position and secure it in place using the four screws.
3When using the AW-RP400 controller
When this controller has been connected to the pan/tilt head, it is permissible for the
connecting cables to be up to 1640 ft. (500 m) long when a 10BASE-T straight cable
(UTP category 5) and coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281) are used.
Since the AW-RC400 cable compensation unit is capable of providing cable
compensation for distances up to 1640 ft. (500 m), there is no need to change the
setting established for the pan/tilt head’s cable compensation circuit.
4When using a personal computer as the controller (for transmissions using
component signals) and the configuration described in 1
A separate cable compensation unit is required if the cables used to connect the
pan/tilt head and controller are to be run over a long distance.

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.

Safety wire
$Installing the pan/tilt head
Be absolutely sure to follow the instructions below when installing the pan/tilt head. Failure
to do so may cause the pan/tilt head to slip out of position or fall.
OFor wall
Do not install the pan/tilt head on any of its sides.
The wall should be capable of supporting a weight of at least four times the pan/tilt head
with camera etc. weight 59.5 lb (27 kg).
OMake sure that the installation of the pan/tilt head has been completed before mounting
the camera onto it.
OTo mount the pan/tilt head, use the four mounting holes and secure it firmly in place.
OHave M6 hexagonal bolts ready as these must be used for mounting the pan/tilt head.
OThe hexagonal bolts must be long enough to meet the requirement of “mounting material
thickness plus 25 mm or longer”.
OUse flat washers, spring washers and hexagonal nuts with the hexagonal bolts, as
shown in the figure.
OUse a wrench that fits the size of hexagonal bolt heads to tighten the hexagonal bolts.
OFor suspended installation, pass a wire through the safety wire mounting hole, and
fasten it securely to the ceiling or other structurally sound object.
OHave a wire ready which is strong enough to bear the weight of the entire pan/tilt head
system (pan/tilt head, camera, lens and cable).
OInstall the pan/tilt head so as to ensure that none of the components mounted on the
pan/tilt head or cables will come into contact with any objects in the vicinity when the
pan/tilt head rotates.

When installing the pan/tilt head, refrain from forcibly turning the head or tilting arm by
hand. Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.

Installation (The installation work must be performed by your dealer without fail.)
$Mounting the camera
The pan/tilt head’s camera mounting section has a mechanism for maintaining the
camera’s balance that moves the camera mounting plate using a guide roller as a fulcrum.
Use the described recommended lenses corresponding to the camera to be used.
(Before mounting a lens other than recommended lenses, consult with your dealer.)
1. Change the position of guide pin Aand/or the camera mounting screws in accordance
with the following installation of the pan/tilt head before mounting the camera.
2. Adjust the balance by loosening the guide screws and moving the camera mounting plate.
3. Upon confirming the position where the balance is maintained, firmly tighten the guide
screws. If the balance cannot be maintained, change the position of guide pin Bor the
positions of the guide screws, and adjust the balance again.

OThe guide roller is fixed in place. Do not remove the guide roller screw.

This chain is for use with the AW-E350,
AW-E650, AW-E655, AW-E750 and 
AW-E860 convertible cameras. It cannot
be used with any other camera.
When attaching any other camera to the
pan/tilt head, carefully check the pan/tilt
head operation and that appropriate
measures have been taken to ensure the
camera does not fall.
OAttaching the chain
1. Attach one end of the chain to the
pan/tilt head using a chain attachment
screw (M4!8 mm: with flat
washer/spring washer).
2. Position the other end of the chain over
the screw hole on the top of the camera
and attach it using a chain attachment
screw (M4!6 mm: with flat
washer/spring washer).

OBe sure to tighten all screws firmly with a
screwdriver or similar tool.
OWhen the hole on the camera is M2.6,
attach the chain with the M2.6!6 mm
(with flat washer/spring washer) chain
attachment screw.
OWhen using the AW-E860/AW-E750/
AW-E655 camera, the mounting spacer
must be attached to the top panel of the
camera before attaching the chain.
Position the end of the chain over the
hole on the mounting spacer and attach
it using a chain attachment screw
(M4!6 mm: with flat washer/spring
washer).
Be sure to tighten the mounting spacer
and all screws firmly with a screwdriver
or similar tool.

OMounting a camera
When mounting a camera to the pan/tilt
head, take appropriate measures to
prevent the camera from falling or being
stolen.
1. Place the camera on the camera
mounting base and insert the guide pin
into the guide hole on the camera. 
2. Tighten the 2 camera mounting screws
to fix the camera firmly in place.
3. After mounting the camera, check that it
is firmly attached and that there is no
play.

OBe sure to tighten all screws firmly with a
screwdriver or similar tool.
OWhen there is only 1 hole on the
camera, remove the 2 camera mounting
screws from the camera mounting base,
then insert 1 camera mounting screw
into the center hole on the camera
mounting plate and tighten it to fix the
camera in place.
OAdjusting slack in the chain
The chain length allows for some degree
of slack.
Remove any slack after attaching the
camera to the pan/tilt head by twisting
the chain around as shown in the figure
at right, then firmly tighten the screw to
fix it in place.
