 Concerning the safety modes
This unit comes with two safety modes which are designed to safeguard the user and others from injury and to prevent damage 
to the pan-tilt head.
1. Mode for ensuring safety in the case of collisions
When the rotary arm of the pan-tilt head or some other unit installed on the head keeps colliding with an obstruction or a 
person (approx. 6 seconds when the head rotates at 45 degrees per second), the mode for ensuring safety in the case of 
collisions is established.
In this mode, only the rotation of the head in the direction of the collision is sto\
pped.
 In the case of a low-speed collision, it will take longer for the safety mode to be established.

The mode for ensuring safety in the case of collisions is released by bringing the joystick of the pan-tilt head controller  
(such as the AW-RP655) back to its center position.
   A poor weight balance may cause the mode for ensuring safety in the case of collisions to be established.  
Depending on the prevailing conditions, it may be necessary to adjust the balance, in which case consult your dealer.
2. Mode for ensuring safety in the case of trouble
When the pan-tilt head has detected trouble, the mode for ensuring safety in the case of trouble is established.
In this mode, the up/down and left/right rotation of the head is stopped.

The mode for ensuring safety in the case of trouble is released by first pressing the POWER ON/OFF switch to turn off the 
power and then by pressing the switch again to turn the power back on.
   If the mode for ensuring safety in the case of trouble is established frequently, it may mean that the pan-tilt head is 
malfunctioning. Consult your dealer.

 Setting the CPU circuit board switches
  Setting SW1
These switches are used to set the operations of the AW-PH405. Before changing their settings, make sure that the power 
has been turned off.
No.1:    Auto focus (AF)/extender (EXT) selector switch.  Use this at the ON position when using an auto focus lens which is connected to the LENS I/F (1) connector; use it 
at the OFF position when using a lens with a motorized extender connected to the ND/EXT connector.No.2:    Diagonal operation selector switch. Set this to ON to use the diagonal operation capability; set this to OFF to stop using the diagonal operation capability. The DIAGONAL MOTION menu setting can be changed from the AW-RP655 or other controller only when the 
diagonal operation selector switch is at the ON position.No.3:    Tilt range selector switch. The tilt range is 00 degrees at ON and 190 degrees at OFF. Settings can be changed from a personal computer or other external device only when the tilt range selector switch 
is at the ON position.No.4:    Zoom offset automatic compensation switch of the lens which is connected to the LENS I/F () connector. This is normally kept at the ON position for use.  Use this switch at the OFF position when zooming manually using the zoom seesaw switch of the lens. When the zoom offset automatic compensation selector switch of the lens is set to ON, the zoom position will be automatically compensated. For this reason, the zoom seesaw switch of the lens cannot be used to control the 
zoom in the desired manner.No.5, 6:  These switches are not used. Do not change their factory settings.

 Concerning the zoom offset automatic compensation function
    In the case of a lens which does not detect the control voltage used by the pan-tilt head to stop the zooming, a difference in potential from the pan-tilt head side may arise, causing the zoom position to shift even when zoom control is not exercised from the pan-tilt head controller (such as the AW-RP655). To prevent this phenomenon from occurring, the zoom offset automatic compensation function works to automatically compensate the control voltage used by the pan-tilt head to stop the zooming.
  Setting the landing characteristics
When changing the landing characteristics, set the switch as follows:
Soft landing:    Set SW to its right position (S). (factory settings)Just landing:    Set SW to its left position (J).
  Setting the installation direction switch
For a ceiling installation, set the switch as follows:
Stand-alone installation:    Set SW to its right position (T). (factory settings)Installation on the ceiling:    Set SW to its left position (H).
Note  Be absolutely sure to turn off the power before changing the position of this switch.

Notes   Refer to the above table for the total weight of the pan-tilt head with the camera, lens, cables and any 
other accessories installed. 
Install the equipment on an installation surface which is capable of ensuring a drop safety equivalent to 
five times the figure for the total weight.
   
The maximum weight of the units which can be installed on the pan-tilt head is .1 lbs (15 kg) or so  
[or approximately 55.1 lbs (5 kg) total for the weight of the pan-tilt head and weight of the units 
installed on the head]. When mounting the pan-tilt head on which units have been installed, be sure to 
mount it on an installation surface which is itself capable of ensuring a satisfactory drop safety.
  Installing the pan-tilt head
Before installing the pan-tilt head, check that the above mounting conditions are satisfied, and observe the following precautions. 
In order to prevent accidents resulting when the product becomes dislodged or falls down, be absolutely sure to proceed as 
instructed. Do not install the pan-tilt head on its side since its prescribed operation and performance cannot be ensured.
 After the pan-tilt head has been installed, mount the camera on it.
 When installing the pan-tilt head, use the four mounting holes to secure the pan-tilt head firmly.
 Ensure that the surface on which the pan-tilt head will be installed and the anchor bolts us\
ed are sufficiently strong.
 Use the M6 hexagon head bolts (including one short bolt) for installation.
  Use hexagon head bolts which are longer than the thickness (t) of the mounted member + 1” (5 mm).
 As shown in the figure of next page, use flat washers, spring washers and hexagon nuts for the hexagon head bolts.
 Use a wrench of the appropriate size to tighten up the hexagon head bolts. 
  Provide a wire which is strong enough to support the combined weight of the entire pan-tilt head system (which consists of the 
pan-tilt head, camera, lens and cable).
   Do not use a surface made of plaster board or wood as this kind of installation surface will not be strong enough. If mounting 
on such a surface is unavoidable, take sufficient anti-drop measures.
   Install the pan-tilt head in such a way that the equipment and cable attached to it will not make contact with any surrounding 
objects when the head is swiveled.
 When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it in place, and be absolutely sure to remove it.
