1 through 5 is set to the GND level, the TALLY lamps on
the control panels and the TALLY lamps on the pan-tilt
heads come on.
;G/L IN connector (automatic 75Ωtermination)
When the pan-tilt head system cameras are to be
synchronized with external signals for use, connect a
coaxial cable to this connector, and supply a black burst
signal or VBS (video, burst and sync) signal.
When a coaxial cable is connected to the 75ΩAUTO
connector, the 75Ωtermination is turned off.PREVIEW MONITOR OUT connectors 1, 2 and 3
One end of a coaxial cable is connected to one of these
connectors and the other end is connected to the video
input connector on a TV monitor.

Connections
OUse the AW-PS505 (optional accessory) for the main
unit’s AC adapter and the AW-PS300 (optional
accessory) for the pan-tilt head’s AC adapter.
OConnect the DC 12V IN socket on the control panel with
the CONTROL PANEL POWER OUT connector on the
main unit, and the CONTROL OUT connector on the
control panel with the CONTROL IN TO CONTROL
PANEL connector 1 on the main unit using the cables (10
m) supplied.
To extend the connection distance between the control
panel and main unit beyond 10 meters, the AW-PS505
(optional accessory) as the power supply for the control
panel and a 10BaseT straight cable (for the control
signals) must be provided separately.
The maximum extension distance is 500 meters when the
10BaseT straight cable (equivalent to UTP category 5) is
used.
OUse a DC power cable (which has a nominal cross-
sectional area of at least 1.25 mm
2and which complies
with the Electrical Appliance and Material Control Law) to
connect the AW-PH350 pan-tilt head and AW-PS300
pan-tilt head AC adapter.
The maximum extension distance between the AC
adapter for the pan-tilt head and the pan-tilt head itself is
30 meters.
OConnect the AW-PH350 pan-tilt head and convertible
camera using the composite camera cable (AW-
CA50T29) or component camera cable (AW-CA50C29).
OConnect the iris control cable of the motorized zoom lens
to the camera and the remote (zoom/focus control) cable
to the pan-tilt head.
When using composite signals
OThe AW-CA50T29 (optional accessory) is required to
connect the convertible camera to the AW-PH350 pan-tilt
head.
OTo connect the main unit and pan-tilt heads, use two
coaxial cables (one for the video signals and the other for
the G/L signals) and one 10BaseT straight cable (for the
camera/pan-tilt head control signals) for each pan-tilt
head.
The maximum extension distance is 1,000 meters for
each pan-tilt head (when coaxial cables equivalent to
BELDEN 8281 and a 10BaseT straight cable equivalent
to UTP category 5 are used).
When using component signals
OThe AW-CA50C29 (optional accessory) is required to
connect the convertible camera to the AW-PH350 pan-tilt
head.
OTo connect the main unit and pan-tilt heads, use four
coaxial cables (one each for the Y signals, Pr signals, Pb
signals and G/L signals) and one 10BaseT straight cable
(for the camera/pan-tilt head control signals) for each
pan-tilt head.
The maximum extension distance is 1,000 meters for
each pan-tilt head (when coaxial cables equivalent to
BELDEN 8281 and a 10BaseT straight cable equivalent
to UTP category 5 are used).
OWhen component signals are used, the RGB card (AW-
PB302) available as an optional accessory must be
installed in the convertible camera. Turn off the power of all components before
proceeding with the connections.
For further details on how to connect each component,
refer to the operating instructions of the component
concerned.

When the AW-PH300, AW-PH300A, AW-PH500 or AW-
PH600 is to be used as a pan-tilt head, the level of the
control signals from the main unit must be converted from
RS-422 to RS-232C.

Operation
$Turning on the power
1. Set all the power switches of the connected components
and the power switch of the AC adapter to ON.
2. Set the DC POWER switch on the main unit to ON.
3. Set the OPERATE switch of the control panel to ON.
Power is now supplied to the pan-tilt head systems
connected to the main unit, and the camera’s initial
settings are performed in sequence.
 
OAt the same time as the camera’s initial settings are
performed, the control panel’s PAN/TILT lever and
ZOOM lever settings are performed as well.  Do not
touch the levers while the display below appears on
the LCD panel.
OIt takes about 30 seconds to perform the camera’s
initial settings for each camera.  The pan-tilt head
system cannot be controlled until these settings are
completed.
OAll the power switches of the connected components
and the power switch of the AC adapter must be set
to ON without fail before setting the OPERATE switch
of the control panel to ON.222I IN

$Setting the travel range (limiters) of the
pan-tilt head
Depending on where it has been installed, there may be
obstacles within the travel range of the pan-tilt head system
with which the system may come into contact.
The pan-tilt head system may malfunction or an accident
may occur if the system comes into contact with such an
obstacle.
Prior to use, be absolutely sure to set the travel range
(limiters: upper, lower, left-most and right-most limits of
rotation) of the pan-tilt head system.

Before installing a pan-tilt head as a stand-alone type, set
the installation direction switch inside the pan-tilt head to
stand-alone installation.  (“Suspended installation” is the
factory setting.)
If this switch is not set properly, the operating directions of
the pan-tilt head will be reversed, and the limits of the pan-
tilt head’s travel range (limiters) will not be stored in the
memory properly.  For details on how to set the switch, refer
to the operating instructions of the pan-tilt head.
1.Select the pan-tilt head system using the
CONTROL/PREVIEW MONITOR OUT SEL button.
2. Set the upper limit position in the travel range.
1Operate the PAN/TILT lever on the control panel to
rotate the camera to the position which is to serve as
the upper limit position.
2While holding down the OK button on the control
panel, press TRACING/PRESET MEMORY button
47 .
3The setting is completed when the 41 [LIMIT ON]
button’s lamp comes on.
OTo cancel the setting, press button 47 while
pressing the OK button again.  When the setting is
canceled, the 50 [LIMIT OFF] button’s lamp comes
on.
3. Set the lower limit position in the travel range.
1Operate the PAN/TILT lever on the control panel to
rotate the camera to the position which is to serve as
the lower limit position.
2While holding down the OK button, press button 46 .
3The setting is completed when the 41 [LIMIT ON]
button’s lamp comes on.
OTo cancel the setting, press button 46 while
pressing the OK button again.  When the setting is
canceled, the 50 [LIMIT OFF] button’s lamp comes
on.
