Indoor Pan/Tilt Head Aw-Ph400; Introduction - Panasonic AW-PH400E Mode D'emploi

Indoor Pan/Tilt Head AW-PH400

Introduction

p The stand-alone indoor pan-tilt head can be rotated through 300 degrees in the vertical direction and 400 degrees in the
horizontal direction.
p Operations can be performed at high speeds of up to 90 degrees per second.
p The maximum load is 8 kg.
(If, with the prompter or other device, this maximum load is 5 kg or more, take preventive measures commensurate with the
device mounted to ensure that the device will not fall off.)
p The camera can also be rotated using the roll unit (AW-RL400) available as an option.
p The shooting positions and settings for up to 50 positions can be registered as preset memory data.
p When using the IAS, WAS or VAS lens made by Canon or the RD lens made by Fujinon
• When switching ZOOM/FOCUS knobs on the lens itself, be sure to set it to the servo side.
• Communication with the pan/tilt control panel (AW-RP400) commences as soon as the unit (AW-PH400) is started.
Similarly, the startup process for the lens commences when the power of the camera is turned on. During the startup
process the zoom moves automatically, and none of the control operations can be performed from the pan/tilt control
panel (AW-RP400).
(This startup process function is designed to prevent the zoom from operating without intentional commands from
AW-RP400 due to the difference in voltage between the lens zoom and AW-PH400.)
• After completion of the startup process, refrain from adjusting the zoom speed control of the lens. To adjust this speed,
turn off the power of the AW-PH400 first, and then proceed with the adjustment. If the speed is adjusted without turning
the power off, the ZOOM will not operate properly during preset memory/tracing memory playback.
• Do not operate the ZOOM seesaw switch on the lens as the ZOOM may malfunction. (This is caused by the startup
process function and is not a defect.)
• When the lens mounted on the camera has been changed, re-set the preset memory and tracing memory functions. The
zoom will not operate properly if the original settings for these functions are retained for use.
p The unit (AW-PH400) cannot be controlled from the controller (AW-RP301, AW-RP305, AW-RP501, AW-RP505).
Notes
p The current rating of the LENS I/F (2) connector is 500 mA (max).
The lens whose maximum current consumption exceeds 500 mA cannot be used. Concerning the maximum
current consumption of the lens, contact the lens manufacturer.
p 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.
p With some lenses mounted on the camera, focusing and other operations may be performed in the opposite
direction.
To ensure that these operations are performed in the correct direction, change the DIRECTION setting of the
pan/tilt control panel (AW-RP400). (This depends on the specifications of the lens and is not a defect.)
p If an auto-focusing lens is not going to be used, use the AF button on the pan/tilt control panel (AW-RP400) at the
OFF setting.
If it is set to ON, you will not be able to control the FOCUS.
