the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture,

Introduction
pThe stand-alone indoor pan-tilt head can be rotated through 300 degrees in the vertical direction and
300 degrees in the horizontal direction.
pOperations can be performed at high speeds of up to 45 degrees per second.
pThe maximum load is 15 kg (33.1 lbs).
(If, with the prompter or other device, this maximum load is 5 kg (11.0 lbs) or more, take preventive measures commensurate
with the device mounted to ensure that the device will not fall off.)
pThe shooting positions and settings for up to 50 positions can be registered as preset memory data.
pWhen the protocol converter (AW-IF400) is used to connect the pan/tilt control panel (AW-RP400) to the unit
• The tracing memory function cannot be used.
• TILT RANGE cannot be set.
• MEMORY LENGTH cannot be set.
• DIAGONAL MOTION cannot be set to ON or OFF.
• Backlash cannot be compensated.
• When the ON/OFF setting of auto focus (AF) and extender (EXT) is switched from AW-RP400, use the OPTION SW after
allocating the “EXT” function to it.
pWhen using the IAS, WAS or VAS lens made by Canon or the RD lens made by Fujinon
• Communication with the pan-tilt head controller (such as the AW-RP655) commences as soon as the unit (AW-PH405)
is started. Similarly, the startup process for the lens commences when the power of the camera is turned on. During the
startup process the zoom moves automatically, and none of the control operations can be performed from the pan-tilt
head controller (such as the AW-RP655).
• After completion of the startup process, refrain from adjusting the zoom speed control of the lens. To adjust this speed,
turn off the power of the AW-PH405 first, and then proceed with the adjustment.
• When the zoom offset automatic compensation selector switch of the lens is set to ON, the zoom position will be
automatically compensated. For this reason, the zoom seesaw switch of the lens cannot be used to control the zoom in
the desired manner.
• When the lens mounted on the camera has been changed, re-set the preset memory and tracing memory functions. The
zoom will not operate properly if the original settings for these functions are retained for use.
Notes pThe unit (AW-PH405) cannot be controlled from the controller (AW-RP301, AW-RP305, AW-RP501, AW-RP505).
pThe roll unit (AW-RL400) cannot be used.
pThe current rating of the LENS I/F (2) connector is 500 mA (max).
The lens whose maximum current consumption exceeds 500 mA cannot be used. Concerning the maximum
current consumption of the lens, contact the lens manufacturer.
pIn order to protect the environment when the pan-tilt head is to be discarded at the end of its service life, ask a
specialized contractor to dispose of it properly.
pWith some lenses mounted on the camera, focusing and other operations may be performed in the opposite
direction.
To ensure that these operations are performed in the correct direction, change the DIRECTION setting of the
pan-tilt head controller (such as the AW-RP655).
pIf an auto-focusing lens is not going to be used, use the auto focus (AF)/extender (EXT) selector switch
(SW1: No.1) on the AW-PH405 at the OFF setting.
If this switch is set to ON and the EXT (AF) button on the pan-tilt head controller (such as the AW-RP655) is also
set to ON, it will not be possible to control the focusing.
