TILT REVERSE [NOR/REV] switch (Setting at shipment: NOR)

This is used to select the operation of the pan/tilt head system in the vertical direction (tilting) which is to be performed by operating the PAN/TILT lever.

When it is set to NOR, the pan/tilt head system moves upward when the PAN/TILT lever is tilted toward UP, and it moves downward when the lever is tilted toward DOWN. When it is set to REV, the tilting operates in the reverse directions.

Normally, set this switch to REV when using the AW-PH300 for the pan/tilt head system in a stand-alone installation.

When the switch is set to REV, the pan/tilt head system moves upward when the PAN/TILT lever is tilted toward UP, and it moves downward when the lever is tilted toward DOWN.

PAN REVERSE [NOR/REV] switch (Setting at shipment: NOR)

This is used to select the operation of the pan/tilt head system in the horizontal direction (panning) which is to be performed by operating the PAN/TILT lever.

When it is set to NOR, the pan/tilt head system moves toward the left when the PAN/TILT lever is tilted toward LEFT, and it moves toward the right when the lever is tilted toward RIGHT. When it is set to REV, the panning operates in the reverse directions.

Normally, set this switch to REV when using the AW-PH300 for the pan/tilt head system in a stand-alone installation.

When the switch is set to REV, the pan/tilt head system moves toward the left when the PAN/TILT lever is tilted toward LEFT and it moves toward the right when the lever is tilted toward RIGHT.
