Operation

Black balance adjustment

The black balance must be adjusted when the equipment is used for the first time, when it has not been used for a prolonged time, when the ambient temperature has changed significantly or when one season gives way to another.

If the equipment is to be used under conditions which are identical to the entered settings, no further adjustments are necessary.

When the black balance is adjusted again, the previously entered settings will be deleted and replaced by the new conditions.

Automatic adjustment of black balance

1.Select the pan/tilt head system using the CONTROL button.

2.Press the IRIS button to set the currently selected pan/tilt head system to the AUTO mode (the IRIS button’s lamp now comes on).

3.Press the ABC button.

The ABC button’s lamp flashes, the lens iris is automatically stopped down, and the black balance is automatically adjusted. Once the adjustment has been performed correctly, the lamp goes off, and the conditions set are entered in the memory.

The ABC button’s lamp will remain lighted if it was not possible for the adjustment to be performed. In this case, repeat the adjustment procedure.

It may not be possible to adjust the black balance if the total pedestal is too low. In this case, adjust the total pedestal again, and then repeat the black balance adjustment.

The ABC button’s lamp goes off even if the black balance adjustment was not performed correctly in cases where a pan/tilt head system other than the AW-PH350, AW-PH360 or AW-PH650 is being used.

4.Select the next pan/tilt head system using the CONTROL button, and continue adjusting the black balance in each system concerned.
