Introduction

By using this unit, AW-PH400 can be controlled from AW-RP605/AW-RP605A/AW-RP655/AW-RP555. Additionally, the controllable distance between AW-RP400 and AW-PH400/AW-PH360 can be extended up to 3,280 feet (1,000 meters).

AW-PH350/AW-PH360/AW-PH650 can also be controlled from AW-RP400.

Notes

???The connections other than above examples cannot be done.

???When controlling the AW-PH400 from the AW-RP605A:

???The AW-PH400 has no backlash so it is not necessary to adjust the backlash compensation.

???The maximum memory time of the tracing memory is 300 seconds.

???DIAGONAL MOTION cannot be set from ON to OFF or vice versa. It is always in effect.

???PRESET SPEED can be changed by setting DIAGONAL MOTION to ON and adjusting the DIAGONAL SPEED value.

???The maximum controllable distance is 1,000 meters between the AW-RP605A and AW-IF400G and 500 meters between the AW-PH400 and AW-IF400G.

???When controlling the AW-PH350 from the AW-RP400:

???The tracing memory data cannot be stored, played or deleted.

???TILT RANGE cannot be switched. It is fixed at 190 degrees.

???Backlash in the AW-PH350 cannot be compensated for.

???DIAGONAL MOTION cannot be set.

???The maximum controllable distance is 500 meters between the AW-RP400 and AW-IF400G and 1,000 meters between the AW-PH350 and AW-IF400G.
