Turning on the power

1

When using one AW-RP400, set its EXT CONT [M/S] switch to the [M] position.
When two AW-RP400 units are used, set the EXT CONT [M/S] switch on the AW-RP400 to which the pan/tilt head is
connected to the [M] (master) position and the switch on the AW-RP400 to which the pan/tilt head is not connected to the
[S] (slave) position.

Turn on the power.
Follow the sequence below to turn on the power when one AW-RP400 is going to be used: Set the power switch of the
AC adaptor used for the AW-RP400 and the AC power switch on the AW-PH400 to [ON], set the OPERATE switch on the
AW-CB400 to [ON], and then set the OPERATE switch on the AW-RP400 to [ON].
Follow the sequence below to turn on the power when two AW-RP400 units are going to be used: Set the OPERATE

Setting the movement range (limiters) of the AW-PH400 indoor pan/tilt head

If there are any objects obstructing the movement of the AW-PH400 indoor pan/tilt head in the immediate vicinity, set
restrictions on the movement range (limiters: left, right, top and bottom limits of rotation).
When the AW-RL400 roll unit is connected to the AW-RP400, set the movement limits (clockwise and counterclockwise
limits) of the roll unit as well.
Before using these units, set these limits without fail.

≥

When it is shipped, the AW-PH400 is set up to be placed on a stand or base. If it is to be suspended from the ceiling, the
mounting direction switch must be set without fail. If this setting is not performed correctly, the directions of the pan/tilt
operations will be reversed, and the movement range (limiter) settings of the pan/tilt head will not be stored in the memory
properly. For details on the setting methods and related aspects, refer to “Setting the mounting direction switch” in the
operating instructions for the AW-PH400.
