Pan/Tilt Control Panel AW-RP400

Introduction

This pan/tilt control panel enables up to five AW-PH400 indoor pan/tilt heads to be controlled.

By connecting the AW-CB400 remote operation panel or WV-CB700A remote control box to the control panel, the convertible cameras mounted on the pan/tilt heads can be controlled at the same time.

By installing an additional control panel, two of the five units in the pan/tilt head system can be controlled at the same time.

Up to ten tracing memories can be accommodated.

Up to 50 preset memories can be set.

The connection distance between the control panel and pan/tilt head system can be extended up to a maximum of 500 meters.

NOTE

The AW-RP400 cannot be used to control the model AW-PH300, AW-PH300A, AW-PH350, AW-PH500 or AW-PH600 pan/tilt heads.

Before using the control panel, the movement range (limiters) of the pan/tilt head system must be set without fail.

When the AW-RP400 control panel is to be discarded at the end of its service life, ask a specialized contractor to dispose of it properly in order to protect the environment.
