Turning on the power

1.Set all the power switches of the connected components and the power switch of the AC adapter to ON.

2.Set this unit’s OPERATE switch to ON.

Power will be supplied to the pan/tilt head system connected to this unit, and the camera’s initial settings will be performed in sequence.

It takes about 5 seconds to perform the camera’s initial settings for each camera. The pan/tilt head system cannot be controlled until these settings are completed.

Be sure to set power switches on all connected equipment and AC adapters to ON before setting the control panel’s OPERATE switch to ON.

When the pan/tilt head system is connected (or changed) and its power is turned on for the first time, the connected cameras will be initialized. Upon completion of the initialization, adjust or set the following items. After the items are adjusted or set, proceed to the section entitled “Setting the travel range (limiters) of the pan/tilt head”.

Once the adjustments are made, there is no need for any re-adjustments unless changes are made to the pan/tilt head, camera or lens. (The items to the re-set or re-adjusted differ depending on the unit which is changed.)
