Operation
Adjusting the minimum start
speed of the pan/tilt head
When the pan/tilt head is to be operated manually using the
joystick, its minimum start speed is automatically adjusted
to ensure that the pan/tilt head will start moving smoothly
in response to the angle to which the pan/tilt lever is tilted.
(This will reduce the amount of play in the pan/tilt lever.)
1. Use the CONTROL button to select the pan/tilt head
whose minimum start speed is to be adjusted.
2. Press the MODE button while holding down the
MEMORY button.
3. The MODE button lamp starts flashing, and the standby
status is established.
4. Press the MODE button to start the adjustment.
5. While the minimum start speed is being adjusted, the
lamps of both the MEMORY button and MODE button
flash.
6. The adjustment is completed when the lamps of both the
MEMORY button and MODE button go off.
7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for the other pan/tilt heads.
If the lamps of both the MEMORY button and MODE button
light up and the adjustment process ends, check whether
the camera mounted on the pan/tilt head is balanced
properly and whether the pan/tilt head cable or other parts
are making contact with any objects in the vicinity before
proceeding again from step 2.
When the joystick is operated while the minimum start
speed is being adjusted, the adjustment will be forcibly
terminated and only that portion of the setting performed up
until that point will be stored in the memory.
Adjusting the backlash
compensation
Play in the gears may give rise to backlash when the
pan/tilt head is moved. This adjustment serves to provide
compensation for reducing the amount of this backlash.
(Backlash: For instance, after the pan/tilt head has moved
from right to left and then come to a standstill, there is a
delay in the start of the movement when it moves in the
opposite direction. This happens because of play in the
gears. The same phenomenon also occurs when the head
moves from left to right, up to down or down to up.)
1. Use the CONTROL button to select the pan/tilt head
whose backlash compensation is to be adjusted.
2. Press the MENU button while holding down the
MEMORY button.
3. The MENU button lamp starts flashing, and the standby
status is established.
4. Press the MENU button to establish the setting mode.
The lamps of both the MEMORY button and MENU
button start flashing. If the joystick is operated at this
point, the adjustment will be forcibly terminated.
5. Press the PRESET 1 to 8 buttons to set the
compensation amounts. This amount is lowest for
the PRESET 1 button and highest for the PRESET 8
button. When the PRESET 10 button is pressed, the
compensation is set to OFF. When the PRESET 1 to
8 and 10 buttons are pressed, the lamps of both the
MEMORY button and MENU button stop flashing, and
the setting mode is exited.
The same backlash compensation values are applied to
both panning and tilting.
Use the OFF setting if backlash is not a concern.
When making an adjustment, be absolutely sure to
move the pan/tilt head, and perform actual operations
to check whether the compensation amount is
appropriate before deciding on the proper amount. If
this amount is excessive, the pan/tilt head will start
returning in the opposite direction as soon as it has
been made to come to a standstill.
6. If the compensation amount is inadequate, repeat steps
2 to 5, and find the optimum setting.
7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for the other pan/tilt heads.
