Be absolutely sure to set the limiters (travel range) of the pan/tilt head before use.
Depending on where the pan/tilt head system has been installed, obstacles may be
present within the travel range with which the camera may come into contact. Contact with
any such obstacle by the camera may cause malfunctioning or accidents.
In this case, contact can be prevented by setting the limiters directly before any such
obstacle.
The controller is used to set the limiters.
The positions of four limiters — namely, the upper, lower, left-most and right-most limits of
the travel range — can be set.
Once they have been set, the positions will not be lost even after the power has been
turned off.

Replacement of consumable parts
$ Replacing the battery
The battery lasts for about 5 years.
The pan/tilt head stores the preset
positions, limiter positions and other data in
its memory. Although this data is retained
even after the power has been turned off, it
will be lost when the power is turned off
once the battery has reached the end of its
service life.
Replace the battery once it has lost its
effectiveness. (The pan/tilt head uses a
CR2032 manganese dioxide-lithium
battery.)
Removing the battery
1. Remove the four cover screws, and
remove the head cover.
2. Press the battery in the direction shown
by the arrow in the figure, and slide it.
3. From this position, lift the battery from
the bottom of its arrow area.
4. Once the arrow part of the battery has
been removed from the battery holder,
pull the battery forward and out to
remove it completely.
Installing the new battery
1. With the “+” pole of the new battery
turned toward you, insert the end into
the battery holder from the direction of
the arrow.
2. While pushing the battery in the direction
of the arrow, push it right into the holder.
$ Replacing the motor
Replace the motor if it is not working
properly.
• Consult your dealer on how to replace the
motor.
$ Replacing the gear
Replace the gear when its preset stop
accuracy has deteriorated.
• Consult your dealer on how to replace the
gear.
The motor and gear are consumable
parts.
They must be replaced at regular
intervals.
