Controller supported pp AW‑RP655 pp AW‑RP555 pp AW‑RP50 Notes When connecting the AW‑RP655 pp The camera menus that are operated using the LCD panel on the AW‑RP655 cannot be used. Use the camera menus displayed on the monitor which has been connected to the unit. It may be necessary to upgrade the version of the controller in order to support the unit. Consult with your dealer. When connecting the AW‑RP555 pp The AW‑RP555 periodically transmits the POWER‑ON command to the pan-tilt head.
Installation precautions In addition to heeding the points presented in the “Safety precautions”, observe the following precautions as well. Concerning the installation location Install the unit in a stable location which will not be susceptible to shaking. If the unit is installed in a location which is susceptible to shaking, this will cause the unit’s images to shake in turn. Install the unit after conferring in detail with your dealer.
Installation precautions Connecting the power cable Be absolutely sure to connect the power cable of the AC adapter through a circuit breaker using one of the following methods. (1) Connect the power cable through a power control unit. (2) Connect the power cable to a circuit breaker in a power distribution panel with a contact distance of 3.0 mm or more. Use a circuit breaker which is capable of shutting off all the poles of the main power supply with the exception of the protective ground conductor.
Operating precautions Zooming and focusing When the focus is set manually, out-of-focusing may occur during zooming. After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the focus to auto. When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with zooming after setting the focus position at the Tele end where the focusing accuracy is higher. (However, if the distance from the unit to the subject is less than 1.5 meters [4.92 ft.], the subject may shift out of focus at the Wide end.
Operating precautions Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cables. Always be sure to turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cables. Maintenance Turn off the unit’s power before proceeding with maintenance. Otherwise, you may injure yourself. Wipe the surfaces using a soft dry cloth. Avoid all contact with benzene, paint thinners and other volatile substances, and avoid using these substances. Otherwise, the casing may become discolored. Handle the unit carefully.
Concerning the wireless remote control (optional accessory) This unit can be operated by remote control using a wireless remote control (model number: AW‑RM50G) purchased separately.

When it is pressed quickly (for less than 2 seconds) while a menu is displayed, the setting change is canceled. Furthermore, the pan and tilt movement range limits (limiters) are set and released by operating the MENU button, PRESET/LIMIT button and the pan‑tilt buttons ([], [], [] and []).
Parts and their functions A/FOCUS button 9 PRESET/LIMIT button This is used when automatically adjusting the lens focus. This is used to register the settings in the preset memories or set or release the limiters. When a preset memory call button is pressed while the PRESET/LIMIT button is held down, the information on the unit’s current direction and other settings is registered in the call button. Preset memory call buttons [1] to [12] correspond to the unit’s No.1 to No.12 preset memories.
Setting the remote control IDs The wireless remote control (optional accessory) is capable of operating up to four units. IDs are used to set which units are selected when the [CAM1], [CAM2], [CAM3] and [CAM4] buttons on the wireless remote control have been pressed. pp When using a multiple number of units, set a different remote control ID for each unit. pp When using one unit, set the remote control ID to “CAM1” unless the setting needs to be changed.
How to install and connect the unit Be absolutely sure to read through the “Installation precautions” on pages 10 to 11. The procedure given here is for the kind of installation where the unit is suspended from an overhead surface, but the same steps are followed for a stand-alone installation. If the ceiling panel is not strong enough to bear the unit’s weight, use the kind of mount bracket that is supported by anchor bolts between the concrete ceiling and ceiling panel.
