this product. This installation manual uses the following symbols and terms in the warning and caution notices for preventing

accidents and protecting the safety of the customer and others.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not heeded, may result in death or serious

injury to you or others. Be sure to heed all warning notices to ensure safe operation at all times.

CAUTION

Indicates hazardous situations which, if not heeded, may result in minor or moderate injury to

you or other persons, or damages to your property.

NOTE

Emphasizes essential inform which, if not heeded, may render the product unworkable or cause

it to function improperly. Also, provides helpful information for operation.

INSTALLATION

WARNING

1.  To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely fixed in accordance with the installation manual.
2.  This product shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
3.  Do not install the unit in a location where there is a risk of combustion or ignition. When the unit is installed in a location

where inflammable gas collects or is produced, ignition may result which in turn may cause a fire.

CAUTION

1. When installing the unit, do not rotate the head and the camera forcibly by hand. It can cause damage to this device.
2. Do not install the unit in an unstable location such as on a wobbly table, on a sloping surface or in a location subject to

severe vibration. Doing so may cause the unit to fall down or topple over, possibly causing injury.

3. Do not install the unit in a location where it may be directly exposed to salt water (seawater) or where corrosive gas or

soot is present. Contact with such substances may corrode and degrade the mountings, ultimately causing the unit to

fall down and possibly causing injury.

4. When transporting the unit, hold the handle of the head unit and the bottom of the unit. Otherwise, the unit may be

dropped, possibly causing breakdown or injury.

5. When installing the unit in an elevated location, take appropriate measures to prevent the equipment and parts from

falling. Otherwise, the equipment and parts may fall, possibly causing injury.

6. Do not install the unit in a location where it may be directly exposed to sunlight for protecting the lens.
7. The unit does not have a freeze-proof structure, so it does not move when frozen. Take care when installing the unit in

a location where it may be frozen. This unit is not freeze-resistant and does not operate if frozen. Therefore, be careful

when installing in a location where it may freeze.

POWER SUPPLY

WARNING

1.  Never attempt to connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shocks.
2.  Connect the power cord securely to both the input connectors and the outlet.
  If dust is allowed to accumulate on the exposed prongs of the power cord plug or if the prongs come into contact with

metal, fire or electric shocks may result. Disconnect the power cord periodically, and use a dry cloth to wipe off any

dust or dirt that has accumulated on the prongs and around the input connectors and the outlet. If the power cord is left

connected for extended periods of time in locations with high levels of dust, moisture or oily smoke, the accumulated

dust will absorb moisture, resulting in deterioration of the insulation and possibly fire.

3. Always remove the mounting screws before disconnecting the power cord. Placing excessive stress on the power cord

may break its wires or otherwise damage the power cord, and power may leak from the damaged area, resulting in fire

or electric shocks.

4. The power cord is not supplied. Using a cord that does not comply with the safety standard or is otherwise unsuitable

for the installation conditions (approved product, environment) may result in fire or electric shocks.

CAUTION

1.  In order to ensure that the power plug can be unplugged at any time, never place objects around the power plug.
  Otherwise, it may be impossible to disconnect the power plug in the event of an emergency.
2.  Never connect or disconnect cables until making certain that the power is turned off. Doing so may cause electric

shock or damage.

HANDLING THE UNIT

WARNING

1. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
2. Do not allow the pan-tilt head or the inside of the housing to become wet, and do not allow water to enter inside or to

be spilled onto the head. Do not put any object which contains liquid such as a drink or a vase on this product. If water

has found its way inside the unit, stop using it immediately. Continuing to use the unit is a fire or electric shock hazard.

3. Do not attempt to disassemble or remodel the unit. High-voltage parts and intermeshing gears are to be found inside

the unit, and contact with them may cause injury.

4. Do not drop the unit, bump into other objects or otherwise subject it to strong impact. If the main unit has been

damaged, disconnect the power cord from the input connectors. Then contact your dealer or your Canon

representative.

5. Please do not turn the lens toward the sun. When a strong light enters at the TELE side, it can cause damage to the

lens and the camera.

6. When operating this device, please use a control device such as an operation unit. When panning or tilting by hand or

other methods, it can cause damage to this device.

CAUTION

1. Make sure that all the mountings are tightened securely. A loose mounting may cause the unit to fall down, possibly

resulting in injury.

2. Periodically (every 6 months to a year as a general rule) inspect the mountings for looseness. A loose mounting may

cause the unit to fall down, possibly resulting in injury.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING

1.  Clean only with dry cloth.
2.   Before cleaning the outside paneling of the unit, always disconnect the power cord from the input connectors.
  Furthermore, do not use benzene, paint thinners or other easily ignitable substances for cleaning purposes. Doing so

is a fire and electric shock hazard.

3. This system should not be opened or disassembled, except by qualified service personnel.

• Dangerous parts are to be found inside the unit, contact with them may cause finger pinch and electric shock

hazard.

• If foreign objects and dust enter the inside, it may cause damage to this device.
• In case of high temperature and high humidity, internal damage and condensation may occur if humid air is allowed

to enter this device.

STORAGE

WARNING

1. Before transporting the unit, return the housing to the horizontal position. When transporting the unit, place it inside the

original shipping carton which was used specifically to house the unit.

2-3. Items requiring a support wire

Attach any wire to the handle section when a safety wire is required to the pan-tilt head. When attaching

the wires, be careful that nothing blocks operation of the pan-tilt head.

2-4. Waterproofing the receptacle unit

Inspect the waterproof connector for looseness. After

pass each cable through the waterproof tube and the

waterproof unit, insert the waterproof tube all the way

into the waterproof connector until its tip touches the end

and secure it in place. Put the end of the waterproof tube

in the safe place so that water, dust and moisture do not

enter. Also, do not seal the end of the waterproof tube

so as to mitigate the pressure rise inside of the product

caused by the temperature change. Connect each cable

to the receptacle unit of the main unit, and then secure

the waterproof unit to the pan-tilt head using the supplied

mounting bolts (x4).

Clamp the cables at appropriate intervals.
