If you have to place the camera on an inclined surface, make sure that the inclination is less than ±15 degrees, so that the pan/tilt performance is guaranteed.

Notes

•You should take an appropriate countermeasure to prevent the camera from falling.

•Do not grasp the camera head when carrying the camera.

•Do not turn the camera head by hand. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.

Installation and Connections

To attach the camera to a tripod

Attach a tripod to the screw hole used for attaching a tripod on the bottom of the camera.

The tripod must be set up on a flat surface and tightened firmly by hand.

Use a tripod with screws of the following specifications.

1/4 -20UNC

= 4.5 – 7 mm

= 0.18 – 0.27 inches

Caution

Installation of the camera using the tripod screws and screw holes should not be done for installation on a ceiling or a shelf, etc. in a high position.

Installing the Camera in a High Position

Using the supplied ceiling brackets, wire rope, and screws, you can attach the camera to a ceiling or on a shelf, etc. in a high position. You can also utilize an existing junction box, etc. to attach the camera to a ceiling.

When you install the camera, always install it on a level ceiling or shelf, etc. If you have to install it on an incline, make sure that the inclination is within ± 15 degrees, so that the pan/tilt performance is guaranteed.

Caution

•When you attach the camera to a ceiling or shelf, etc. in a high position, entrust the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.

•Attach the camera to the ceiling or shelf, etc. firmly, after making sure the ceiling, shelf, etc. and the attachment materials (not including the supplied accessories) are strong enough to bear a weight of 40 kg (88 lb 2 oz). If the ceiling or shelf, etc. is not strong enough, the camera may fall and cause serious injury.

•Be sure to attach the supplied wire rope to prevent the camera from falling.

•Check periodically, at least once a year, to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.

Before installation

The connecting cables cannot be passed through the ceiling bracket (A). A hole for the wiring is required in the ceiling or shelf, etc. behind where the camera is to be installed. When installing the camera on a ceiling, make the required hole for the junction box in the ceiling. When installing it on a shelf, etc. in a high position, a hole with a diameter of 70 mm (2 7/8 inches) is required for the protrusions of the ceiling bracket.

Make these holes after deciding the shooting direction.
