Menu settings

CONTROL SELECT MODE setting (INTERLOCK/UN-INTERLOCK)

This menu item is for selecting the method used to select the pan/tilt head and camera when the AW-CB400 remote operation panel has been connected to the AW-RP400 control panel.

INTERLOCK: When the pan/tilt head and camera system are selected by the AW-RP400 or AW-CB400, the same system is selected by the other unit as well.

UN-INTERLOCK:A different pan/tilt head and camera system can be selected by the AW-RP400 and AW-CB400.

When two AW-RP400 units are connected, INTERLOCK is always set regardless of this menu item’s setting.

BUZZER setting (OFF/ON)

This menu item is used to select ON or OFF for the buzzer inside the control panel. The buzzer does not sound at the OFF setting.

The buzzer sounds when the CALL button has been pressed or when a tracing memory operation (record, play or change) is started, suspended or ended.

AUTO RUN setting (START No., END No., INTERVAL)

This menu item enables the presets of the pan/tilt head to be repeated automatically.

START No. (1 to 50): END No. (1 to 50): INTERVAL (1s to 30s):

This sets the first number of the preset to be repeated.

This sets the last number of the preset to be repeated.

This sets the stop time at the preset position.

Up to 30 seconds can be set in 1-second increments for the stop time.

OPERATE (STOP/RUN): When RUN is selected, the presets from the START No. to STOP No. are played repeatedly; when STOP is selected, operation stops.

When the PAN/TILT lever is operated, STOP is selected automatically, and operation stops.

SD CARD setting

The menu setting data of this control panel, the preset memory data of the pan/tilt heads and the setting data of the cameras can be stored on SD memory cards.

If the MENU button is pressed while STORE is displayed, the display changes to EXECUTE, and the settings are saved on the SD memory card. The process is completed when the EXECUTE display is cleared from the screen.

If the MENU button is pressed while LOAD is displayed, the display changes to EXECUTE, and the settings on the SD memory card are called and loaded into the unit, pan/tilt head and camera. The process is completed when the EXECUTE display is cleared from the screen.

Confine the use of the SD memory card to this unit only, and refrain from using it with a personal computer, digital camera or other device.

Do not eject the SD memory card, turn off the power or set the OPERATE switch to OFF while EXECUTE is displayed.

The tracing memory data is not stored.
