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 stopped.
K
In the case of a low-speed collision, it will take longer for the safety mode to be established.
<Procedure for restoration from the safety mode>
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.
K
If the camera and lens after they have been installed result in a poor overall weight balance, the mode for ensuring safety in
the case of collisions may 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.
<Procedure for restoration from the safety mode>
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.
K
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.
