Installation precautions

Do not install the unit on any of its sides.

Avoid using the unit in the kitchen and other locations with lots of steam and oily vapors.

Mount the camera on the pan-tilt head only when you have finished installing it.

The maximum weight which can be borne by this unit is 33.1 lbs (15 kg).

Do not use a lens which will impair or upset the unit’s balance.

Even if the weight by the unit is less than 33.1 lbs (15 kg), it cannot be used if the unit will be set off-balance by the lens mounted on it.

Do not install the unit outdoors or in places where the temperature will be hotter than 113°F (45°C) or colder than 23°F (–5°C).

Use the unit in places where the humidity is below 90%.

Obtain separately the screws which will be used to install the unit since they are not provided with the unit.

Do not hold or lift the unit by its rotating part. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

Do not connect a regular LAN line or telephone line to the CONTROL IN RP connector or COM connector on the unit. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

When performing work high off the floor or ground, make absolutely sure that the work is done by a qualified contractor.

Do not turn the unit’s rotating part by hand. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

Dropping the unit or subjecting it to strong impact may give rise to malfunctioning.

Leave a clearance of at least 3.3 ft (1 meter) from around the monitor when installing the unit.

When mounting the camera on the unit, take sufficient steps to ensure that it will not become detached from the unit or fall onto the floor.

A length of wire for preventing the camera from dropping is provided. Read the operating instructions first, and then be absolutely sure to attach the wire and take the necessary measures to prevent the camera from falling.

Install the unit in such a way that the equipment mounted on it and its cables will not come into contact with anything when the pan-tilt head swivels, and set definite movement limits.

(For details on the limiter settings, refer to the operating instructions of the controller.)

When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it in place, and be absolutely sure to remove it.
