OPERATION

1. Power

Set the power switches on the pan/tilt head AC adapter and the multiport hub AC adapter to the ON position, then set Power control Switch on the multi control panel to the ON position.

2. Pan/tilt Limiter Setting for Pan/tilt Head

If there are obstacles around the pan/tilt heads, set the limiters to limit the operating range (pan left and right ends, tilt up and down ends) of the pan/tilt head.

Note: The switches on the pan/tilt head have been pre- set before shipment from the factory on the assumption that the pan/tilt head would be sus- pended from the ceiling. If the pan/tilt head is mounted on a board, for example, be sure to shift the mounting direction switches on the pan/tilt head. Unless this is done, pan/tilt directions will be reversed and pan/head operation limiter data can- not be properly stored in the memory. For details on shifting these switches, refer to INSTALLATION OF PAN/TILT HEAD at page 8 or the Operating Instructions for Pan/tilt Head.
