Installation Attach the positioning screw (supplied) to the camera Attach the positioning 1 screw (supplied) to the camera mount . mounting spacer . Use the 2 screws (supplied) to attach the camera Attach the camera mount to the fan mounting part on the top panel of the camera using the 1 screw , flat washer and spring washer (supplied).
Installation Attach the positioning 1 screw (supplied) to the camera mount . Attach the camera mount using the 2 screws , flat washers and spring washers (supplied). (The camera mount points toward the front or back in the opposite way from a convertible camera. For pointing upward or downward, make sure that the two sides of the camera mount are higher — which is the opposite from when the AK-HC910 is used — than the central area that is attached.
Installation Sandwich the housing’s support rib between the camera mount and plate nut of the camera on which the camera mount has been installed, and provisionally secure it using the camera mount screws. Housing’s support rib Camera mount screws Camera mount Connect the camera with the lens to the interior of the housing using the cable.
Installation Place the assembly of the camera mount, camera and large lens inside the housing from the front edge of the lens. Hook a piece of string (supplied) around the lens barrel, and stow the assembly inside the housing.
Installation Also visually check from the front of the housing whether the centers of the lens and camera are aligned. If they deviate significantly, turn the lens up/down position adjustment screw on the lens holder to move the lens position up or down. (When the screw is turned clockwise, the lens position moves up; conversely, when it is turned counterclockwise, it moves down.
Installation How to install the housing Align the mounting rails () on the bottom of the housing with the housing mount frame () on the main unit, and fit the housing onto the side of the main unit. Move the housing to the rear, and push the I/F connector () on the housing in the direction of the arrow into the I/F connector () on the main unit. Also move the lock lever () on the bottom of the housing mount frame in the direction of the arrow (up), and plug the connector all the way in.
Connections Concerning the connectors inside the housing The connectors shown in the figure below are provided inside the housing. Check the connection instructions for each of the cameras concerned, and connect them. LENS I/F (1) connector CAMERA I/F connector This is provided for controlling the zooming and focusing of the motorized lens unit. Connect the remote (zoom/ focus) control cable of the motorized lens unit to this connector. This is provided for controlling a camera.
Connections Connecting the cameras and housing 1. Connections with a convertible camera Use the supplied camera cable for these connections. Provide a coaxial cable [approx. 3.3 ft (1 m) long] (Size: 3C-FB or equivalent) Upon completion of the connections, bundle the routed cables together using the cable ties (supplied), making sure that the cables will not be placed near a heater or fan. Connect the cable for the convertible camera to the CAMERA I/F connector.
Connections 2. Connections with the AK-HC910 series In order to facilitate the connection procedure, stow the camera after connecting its I/F REMOTE connector. (Particularly when using a large lens, this connector must be connected before the camera is stowed.) Use the supplied camera cable for these connections. Provide a coaxial cable [approx. 3.
Connections 3. Connections with the AK-HC1500 In order to facilitate the connection procedure, stow the camera after connecting its I/F REMOTE connector. (Particularly when using a large lens, this connector must be connected before the camera is stowed.) Use the supplied camera cable for these connections. Provide a coaxial cable [approx. 3.
Connections Precautions when controlling the AK-HC1500 from the AW-CB400 Connections with AC adapter Disconnect the AC power cable which was already attached. The AK-HC1500 supports the AK-HRP150 protocol and AW-CB400 protocol, and it is the AK-HRP150 protocol which was set before the AK-HC1500 was shipped from the factory. When controlling the AK-HC1500 using the AW-CB400, follow the steps below to change the protocol setting of AK-HC1500 from AK-HRP150 to AW-CB400.

Limiters Be absolutely sure to set the limiters (travel range) of the pan/tilt head before use. Depending on where the pan/tilt head system has been installed, obstacles may be present within the travel range with which the camera may come into contact. Contact with any such obstacle by the camera may cause malfunctioning or accidents. In this case, contact can be prevented by setting the limiters directly before any such obstacle. Multi function controller (AW-RP655) is used to set the limiters.
Limiters Releasing the limiters Setting the limiter again The set limits can be release by taking the following steps. The same steps set and release the limiter alternately. To set the limiter again, release the current limit and set it again. • Releasing the upper limit of operating range 1. While holding down the OK button on the controller, press TRACING/PRESET MEMORY button 47 . A set limit can be set again by taking the following steps. 2.
Replacement of consumable parts Replacing the battery The battery lasts for about 5 years. The pan/tilt head stores the preset positions, limiter positions and other data in its memory. Although this data is retained even after the power has been turned off, it will be lost when the power is turned off once the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery once it has lost its effectiveness. (The pan/tilt head uses a CR2032 manganese dioxide-lithium battery.
Replacement of consumable parts Replacing the motor Replace the motor when it ceases to operate properly. For details on the motor replacement, consult your dealer. Replacing the belt Replace the belt when the preset stop accuracy has deteriorated. For details on the belt replacement, consult your dealer. Replacing the gear Replace the gear when the preset stop accuracy has deteriorated. For details on the gear replacement, consult your dealer. The motor, gear and belt are consumables.
