FEATURES
• The Multiport Hub AW-HB505 is combined with the
Multi-Hybrid Control Panel (AW-RP505) to control up to
five Pan/tilt Heads (AW-PH300) and Color Video
Cameras (AW-E560). When the Multiport Hub AW-
HB505 is connected to the Multi-Hybrid Control Panel
with three coaxial cables (5C-2V) and a single
10BASE-T Straight cable (UTP category 5), and the
Multiport Hub connected to each camera and pan/tilt
head with three coaxial cables (5C-2V) and a single
10BASE-T Straight cable (UTP category 5), various
kinds of control can be performed on the cameras and
pan/tilt heads, and camera video signals and genlock
signals can be sent and received.
• The maximum cable length from the Multi-Hybrid
Control Panel to the Multiport Hub is 10 meters. The
maximum cable length between the Multiport Hub and
the cameras and pan/tilt heads is 500 meters.

INSTALLATION OF PAN/TILT HEAD
• Install the pan/tilt head after carefully reading the
Operating Instructions for Pan/tilt Head.
Have a strong enough wire rod head and fasten it
securely to a firm board, such as of the ceiling.
• Have four hex bolts (M6 x 4) ready for mounting the
pan/title head. Select bolts of a length appropriate to
the material and structure of the mounting base and the
overall weight applied to it. Fasten the bolts securely
with plain washers, spring washers, and hex nuts. If
the bolts are not securely tightened, the pan/tilt head
might fall to cause injuries or accidents. In case of sus-
pending the pan/tilt head, locally purchase a wire rod
strong enough to hold the pan/tilt head, camera, and
lenses, pass it through the wire hole opened in a firm
board, such as of the ceiling, for example, and fasten it
securely.

prevent the head
from falling
• The switches on the pan/tilt head have been preset
before shipment from the factory on the assumption
that the pan/tilt head would be suspended from the
ceiling. If the pan/tilt head is mounted on a board, for
example, be sure to shift the mounting direction switch-
es on the pan/tilt head. Unless this is done, pan/tilt
directions will be reversed and pan/head operation lim-
iter data cannot be properly stored in the memory. For
details on shifting these switches, refer to the
Operating Instructions for Pan/tilt Head.

• If the pan/tilt head is connected to the control panel
with a cable longer than 300 meters, set the cable
compensation switch on the pan/tilt head to the ON
position in advance. If the distance between the
pan/tilt head and the control panel is shorter than 300
meters, keep the switch in the original position (OFF).
For details on shifting the switch, refer to the figure
below or the Operating Instructions for Pan/tilt Head.
w Shift the mounting direction switches (SW1, SW2) on
the pan/tilt head depending on whether the head is
suspended from the ceiling or mounted on the floor.
They are originally set for suspended installation.

2. Pan/tilt Limiter Setting for Pan/tilt Head
If there are obstacles around the pan/tilt heads, set the
limiters to limit the operating range (pan left and right
ends, tilt up and down ends) of the pan/tilt head.
Note: The switches on the pan/tilt head have been pre-
set before shipment from the factory on the
assumption that the pan/tilt head would be sus-
pended from the ceiling. If the pan/tilt head is
mounted on a board, for example, be sure to shift
the mounting direction switches on the pan/tilt
head. Unless this is done, pan/tilt directions will be
reversed and pan/head operation limiter data can-
not be properly stored in the memory. For details
on shifting these switches, refer to INSTALLATION
OF PAN/TILT HEAD at page 8 or the Operating
Instructions for Pan/tilt Head.

chief, for example) fully on the screen. Be careful to
keep a shiny or bright object out of the screen.
When ABC Switch of the multi hybrid control panel is
pressed, the lens iris is automatically closed to set the
black balance. Keep IRIS AUTO/MANU Switch of the
multi hybrid control panel in the AUTO position when
setting the black balance. The auto set LED flashes
during black balance adjustment, and goes out when it
is finished normally. The LED remains lit if the adjust-
ment fails. In such a such, try to adjust it again.
Black balance adjustment may fail in some cases
where the total pedestal is too low. Adjust the total
pedestal with T.PED Control of the multi hybrid control
panel and adjust the black balance again.
e When AWC Switch of the multi hybrid control panel is
pressed, the auto Auto set Indicator flashes and the
white balance is automatically adjusted. It goes out
when it has been properly adjusted. If the adjustment
fails, Auto set Indicator remains lit. In such a case,
change the brightness, iris, object, light source, etc.
and adjust it again.
• Automatic Tracing White Balance Control (ATW)
When AUTO/ATW-ATW Switch of the multi hybrid con-
trol panel is pressed, the white balance is automatical-
ly adjusted even if the light source or color tempera-
ture changes, thus reproducing a natural image.
Note: The white balance may deviate if there is noth-
ing white in the image. The white balance may not
be fully adjusted depending on the light source or
color temperature.
3) Repeat Steps 1) and 2) to adjust the white blance and
black balance of all cameras.
• Black balance adjustment is necessary when using the
camera for the first time, or if the camera has not been
used for a long period of time.
