Precautions for use

≥Handle the ROP carefully.

Dropping the ROP or subjecting it to strong impact may give rise to malfunctioning or accidents.

≥Use the ROP in an ambient temperature of –10°C to +45°C.

Using the ROP in cold places below –10°C or hot places above 45°C may adversely affect its internal parts.

≥Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cables.

Be absolutely sure to turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cables.

≥Avoid using the units outdoors.

≥Maintenance

Wipe the ROP using a dry cloth. To remove stubborn dirt, dip a cloth into a diluted solution of kitchen detergent, wring it out

well, and wipe the ROP gently.

≥Avoid using benzine, paint thinners and other volatile fluids.

≥If a chemical cleaning cloth is to be used, carefully read through the precautions for its use.

Precautions for use

≥The stand-alone compact pan/tilt head can be rotated

through 190 degrees in the vertical direction and 400

degrees in the horizontal direction.

≥Operations can be performed at high speeds of up to 90

degrees per second.

≥Equipment such as a camera and lens with a total weight

of 8 kg can be mounted on the unit.

≥The camera can also be rotated using the AW-RL400 roll

unit available as an option.

≥The shooting positions and settings for up to 50 positions

can be registered as preset memory data.

NOTE

≥The AW-PH400 cannot be controlled from the

AW-RP301, AW-RP305, AW-RP501, AW-RP505,

AW-RP605 or AW-RP605A controller.

≥In order to protect the environment when the pan/tilt

head is to be discarded at the end of its service life, ask

a specialized contractor to dispose of it properly.

Be absolutely sure to dispose of the removed battery in

accordance with the applicable domestic laws and

regulations.

Do not throw out the battery along with the general

household garbage.

For the procedure to remove the battery, refer to the section

Installation precautions

≥Do not install the unit on any of its sides.

≥Avoid using the unit in the kitchen and other locations with lots of steam and oily vapors.

≥Mount the camera on the pan/tilt head only when you have finished installing it.

≥The maximum load-bearing capacity of this unit is 8 kg.

It cannot be used if the load to be borne exceeds 8 kg.

≥Do not use a lens which will impair or upset the unit’s balance.

Even if the load borne by the unit is less than 8 kg, it cannot be used if the unit will be set off-balance by the lens mounted on

it.

≥Do not install the unit outdoors or in places where the temperature will be hotter than 45°C or colder than 0°C.

Use the unit in places where the humidity is below 90%.

≥Purchase the mounting screws separately since they are not supplied with the unit.

≥Do not hold or lift the unit by its rotating part. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

≥Do not turn the unit’s rotating part by hand. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

≥Dropping the unit or subjecting it to strong impact may give rise to malfunctioning.

≥Leave a clearance of at least 1 meter from around the monitor when installing the unit.

≥When mounting the camera on the unit, take sufficient steps to ensure that it will not become detached from the unit or fall

onto the floor.

≥Install the unit in such a way that the equipment mounted on it and its cables will not come into contact with anything when the

pan/tilt head swivels, and set definite movement limits.
