Panasonic Indoor Pan Tilt Head Aw Ph405n Operating Instructions

 Concerning the balance of the installed unit
The weight balance may be impaired when the pan-tilt head is used in combination with a camer\
a and long lens.  
Follow steps  to  below to check the balance, and then mount the camera. If, after this, the balance is still impaired and 
operations cannot be performed smoothly, it means that the balance must be adjusted. Consult your dealer.
Installation
How to obtain the balance
  Check the center of gravity position with the camera and lens set up on the pan-tilt head.
   The less the deviation between the center of gravity position and the head’s center of rotation, the more the balance is 
attained. Check these positions when mounting the pan-tilt head.
   If the proper balance cannot be attained in steps  and , re-attach the camera mounting base and rotary arm to shift the 
position of the entire camera so that the center of gravity position is brought closer to the head’s center of rotation.  
When doing this, bear in mind the following points.
  (1)   Depending on the specifications of the lens and its installation directi\
on, the protruding parts of the lens or grip area may 
come into contact with the rotary arm or other parts, in which case do not re-attach the camera mounting base and rotary 
arm.
  ()   If the protrusion of the connectors from the camera makes contact with the mounting surface of the pan-tilt head, insert a 
spacer as described on the next page between the pan-tilt head and mounting surface or set the limiters.
  () Be absolutely sure to secure the camera mounting base and rotary arm firmly using the three screws.

Installation
  Bearing in mind the length of the lens, set the movement range of the pan-tilt head using the limiters in such a way that the 
hood at the edge of the lens will not come into contact with the surface on which the pan-tilt head is installed when the pan-tilt 
head is tilted.
Lens must not come into contact with mounting surface.
   
   
To point the lens any further straight down in a 
stand-alone installation, insert a spacer between  
the pan-tilt head and mounting surface to raise the 
pan-tilt head position. 
Make sure that the spacer has a strong enough 
construction. Also ensure that the mounting bolts 
used are long enough.
Note
Spacer
   When the pan-tilt head is installed on the ceiling, contact with the pan\
-tilt head body may be made by the protrusion of the 
drive unit when tilting operations are performed. For this reason, set the limiters before proceeding with the installation work.
Protrusion of drive unit must not come into contact with pan-tilt head body.
   Do not tie the connected lens cable and camera cable together as a bundle. During operation, excessive strain may be placed 
on cables which have been bundled together. Instead, be absolutely sure to tie them separately.
   Be absolutely sure to use a screwdriver or other tool to tighten the two camera mounting screws 
so that the camera is secured firmly.
 After the camera has been mounted, check that there is no play in the way it was mounted.
Precautions for mounting the camera 
						

							


Installation
   Attaching the wire
 [Multi-purpose camera AK-HC1500G]
The camera comes with a wire for preventing the camera from dropping. Follow the instructions below to use it to couple the 
camera to the pan-tilt head.
   Use the wire mounting screw (M48 mm with flat washer and spring washer) to attach one end of the wire to the pan-tilt 
head’s arm.
   Use the wire mounting screw (Inch screw with flat washer and spring washer) to attach the other end of the wire on the top 
panel of the camera.

Connections
 Turn off the power of all the equipment before proceeding with the connections.
 Connect the AC power cable supplied with the AW-PH405 for the AW-PH405 indoor pan-tilt head.
  Use 10BASE-T straight cables to connect the RP connectors on the pan-tilt heads with the CONTROL OUT TO PAN/TILT 
HEAD (1 to 5) connectors on the AW-RP655 multi-function controller and AW-RP555 multi hybrid control panel. The maximum 
extension distance is 81 ft (1000 meters) when using UTP category 5 cables or their equivalent.
 Use the camera cables supplied with the pan-tilt head to connect the AW-PH405 to the convertible camera.
   Connect the iris control cable of the motorized zoom lens to the IRIS connector on the camera, and connect the zoom/focus 
cable to the LENS I/F (1) connector on the pan-tilt head.
