Cable compensation circuit settings

When the pan/tilt head and controller have been connected, the maximum allowable length of the connecting cables is 3281 ft. (1000 m) for the 10BASE-T straight cable (UTP category 5) and coaxial cable (BELDEN 8281). However, when using the cables beyond a distance of 1640 ft. (500 m), set the cable compensation circuit to ON by following the steps. (The factory setting is OFF.)

Remove the five screws used to attach the sunshade cover to keep direct sunlight off the unit, and remove this cover. Remove the five screws used to attach the pan/tilt head main unit cover, and remove this cover.

Set the SW1 on the internal COMP circuit board to ON.
