User manual PANASONIC AW-PS300

[. . . ] Warning: To assure continued FCC emission limit compliance, the user must use only shielded interface cables when connecting to external units. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment could void the user's authority to operate it. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER TO SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (service) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. For CANADA This class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. [. . . ] The current rating of LENS I/F () 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. Lens Canon Digital Analog Fujinon AW-CA4DLZG AW-CA4ALZG AW-CA4FLZG Cable SDI IN connector [SDI IN] Use a coaxial cable to connect this to the SDI OUT connector on the AW-PB504 SDI card or other card installed in the convertible camera. AUX IN connector [AUX IN] This connector is connected using a BNC coaxial cable to the SDI OUT connector on the AW-PB504 SDI card or other card installed in the convertible camera or to the VBS connector on the AK-HDC1500G down converter board or other board installed in the AK-HC1500G multi-purpose camera. TALLY OFF/ON switch [TALLY] When this is set to ON, the tally lamp is lighted by the selected signals. When it is set to OFF, the () tally lamp will not light even if the selected signals are supplied. Note Refer to the instructions for using the connecting cable to ensure that it is connected properly. 9 Parts and their function Pedestal connector panel CONTROL IN RP connector [RP] This is the connector for the control of signals of the camera and pan-tilt head. It is connected to the TO PAN/TILT HEAD connector on the AW-RP655 multi-function controller and AW-RP555 multi hybrid control panel. Use a 10BASE-T (equivalent to UTP category 5) straight cable for the connecting cable. AUX connector [AUX] This is the output connector for the camera's video signals. It enables the SDI signals, VBS signals, etc. from the BNC coaxial cable connected to AUX IN to be output. Provide a BNC coaxial cable as the connecting cable. No cable compensation is provided for the signals which are output from this connector. COM connector [COM] This is the connector for the control signals used to extend the camera's functions. SDI connector [SDI] This is the output connector for the camera's video signals. It enables the SDI signals, VBS signals, etc. If the tally lamp is not going to be used, insert the cable which is stuck to the top of the pan-tilt head inside the pan-tilt head, and attach the blank panel for the tally lamp using the two screws provided. Tally lamp Blank panel Tally cable connector Taped Note Tighten up the screws securely to ensure that they will not come loose during use. 1 Installation 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. 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. 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. <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. [. . . ] During operation, excessive strain may be placed on cables which have been bundled together. Instead, be absolutely sure to tie them separately. Be absolutely sure to use a screwdriver or other tool to tighten the two camera mounting screws so that the camera is secured firmly. After the camera has been mounted, check that there is no play in the way it was mounted. Installation Attaching the wire [Multi-purpose camera AK-HC1500G] The camera comes with a wire for preventing the camera from dropping. [. . . ]
