Troubleshooting and error codes
| Symptom | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Power does not turn on. | Are the power cables and coaxial cables connected correctly? | Connect the cables correctly. |
| Are the camera and ceiling clamping brackets mounted securely? | Mount the camera and ceiling clamping brackets securely. | |
| Power is turned off but it is disconnected once the rotation platform operates. | Is there a problem with the cable between this unit and the power unit? (If the cable is too long or thin, the resistance of the cable is large and the voltage will drop when the rotation platform is operating.) | Change the power cable to one with a low resistance (thick and short cable). |
| Is the transporting tape removed? | Remove the transporting tape. | |
| Is the power cable thick enough? | Use a cable of the correct thickness. (Page 23) | |
| Video image does not appear | Is the lens cap still attached to the camera? | Remove the lens cap. (Page 15) |
| The remote control does not work. The camera does not operate smoothly in response to the remote control. The Pan/Tilt lever can be operated but the menu screen cannot be displayed. | Are the settings for Setting Switch 4, 5, 8 correct? | Set the switches correctly. (Page 17) |
| Is the camera under key lock (prevent misoperation)? | Cancel key lock. (RM-P2580 Instruction Manual) | |
| Is the connection of the control signal cable correct? | Connect the cables correctly. (Page 22) |
