Installation precautions

Do not install this unit by suspending it, and do not install it on its side.

While factoring in the weights of the unit and the load that the unit will bear, select an installation location which is conducive to fastening the unit securely and which is level and without unevenness. Fasten the unit securely so that it will not shake or be rickety when it is at rest or being rotated. Failure to secure the unit properly or looseness of the bolts may cause the product to fall off or fall down, possibly resulting in an accident.

Bolts for installing the unit are not provided with the unit. Select bolts which are sufficiently strong and made of a material capable of with standing outdoor use.

The maximum load which the unit can bear is 22 lbs (10 kg) (excluding the housing).

The unit cannot be used with a load in excess of 22 lbs (10 kg).

Upon completion of the pan/tilt head’s installation, mount the housing. To prevent looseness in the places where the unit is mounted, be absolutely sure to use parts such as flat washers and spring washers for its installation.

The power must be off while the installation or connection work is underway.

Do not set the power switch of the AC adapter to ON until after checking that no mistakes have been made upon completion of all the installation and connection work.

A ventilating fan is provided inside the housing. The fan can be controlled using the H/F button on the controller but it should normally be left at ON. Furthermore, do not block it or obstruct the ventilation while the unit is operating. Otherwise, heat will build up inside, possibly causing a fire. The ventilating fan is a consumable: as a general rule, replace it after about 40,000 hours of operation.

(Be absolutely sure to ask your dealer to replace the fan.)

Steps to be taken prior to installation

The AW-PH650 has function selector switches on its main unit (pan/tilt head) and housing.

Since it may prove difficult to change the positions of these switches after installation, refer to cable compensation circuit settings (page 15), CPU circuit board switch settings (page 16) and settings of the camera control selector switch inside the housing (page 25) prior to installation.

Then set the switches to the positions that correspond to the operating conditions.

Be absolutely sure to use water-proof connecting cables.

Do not install the unit where the temperature will drop below –4°F (–20°C) or rise above 113°F (45°C) since operation will become unstable under these temperature conditions.

Be absolutely sure to use the AC adapter provided with the unit as the power source of the pan/tilt head. (Batteries or other power supplies cannot be used.)

The cable for connecting the power supply to the AC adapter is locally purchased. Read the operating instructions, and heed all the safety precautions to connect the cable.

Do not turn the rotating part of the pan/tilt head by hand. If it is dropped or subjected to strong impact, it may fail or malfunction.

Install the unit and set a travel range (limiters) to ensure that it will not come into contact with any objects in the vicinity when the unit including the housing has swiveled.

Do not operate the controls on the pan/tilt head under any circumstances while installation or other work is underway.

Before checking the pan/tilt head’s operation and before actually using it, check that nobody is within the range of its rotation.

Do not install the unit in a kitchen or other location where there is a lot of oil or grease.
