Operating precautions
Handle the unit carefully.
Dropping the unit or subjecting it to strong impact may
give rise to malfunctioning or accidents.
Turn off the power before connecting or
disconnecting the cables.
Be absolutely sure to turn off the power before connecting
or disconnecting the cables.
Install the unit near the main power outlet, and
position it in such a way that its power plug can
be plugged into and unplugged from the outlet
Do not use the unit outdoors.
Maintenance
Wipe the unit using a dry cloth. To remove stubborn dirt,
dip a cloth into a diluted solution of kitchen detergent,
wring it out well, and wipe the unit gently.
<Caution>
Avoid using benzine, paint thinners and other volatile
fluids.
If a chemical cleaning cloth is to be used, carefully read
through the precautions for its use.
easily.
Introduction
The stand-alone indoor pan-tilt head can be rotated through 300 degrees in the vertical direction and
300 degrees in the horizontal direction.
Operations can be performed at high speeds of up to 45 degrees per second.
Equipment such as a camera and lens with a total weight of 33.1 lbs (15 kg) can be mounted on the unit.
The shooting positions and settings for up to 50 positions can be registered as preset memory data.
When the AW-IF400 is used to connect the 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.
When 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 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
The AW-PH405 cannot be controlled from the AW-RP301, AW-RP305, AW-RP501, AW-RP505 controller.
The AW-RL400 roll unit cannot be used.
The 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.
In 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.
With 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).
If 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.

Installation precautions
Do not install the unit on any of its sides.
Avoid using the unit in the kitchen and other locations with
lots of steam and oily vapors.
Mount the camera on the pan-tilt head only when you
have finished installing it.
The maximum weight which can be borne by this unit is
33.1 lbs (15 kg).
Do not use a lens which will impair or upset the unit’s
balance.
Even if the weight by the unit is less than 33.1 lbs (15 kg),
it cannot be used if the unit will be set off-balance by the
lens mounted on it.
Do not install the unit outdoors or in places where the
temperature will be hotter than 113°F (45°C) or colder
than 23°F (–5°C).
Use the unit in places where the humidity is below 90%.
Obtain separately the screws which will be used to install
the unit since they are not provided with the unit.
Do not hold or lift the unit by its rotating part. Doing so
may cause malfunctioning.
Do not connect a regular LAN line or telephone line to the
CONTROL IN RP connector or COM connector on the
unit. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.
When performing work high off the floor or ground, make
absolutely sure that the work is done by a qualified
contractor.

Do not turn the unit’s rotating part by hand. Doing so may
cause malfunctioning.
Dropping the unit or subjecting it to strong impact may
give rise to malfunctioning.
Leave a clearance of at least 3.3 ft (1 meter) from around
the monitor when installing the unit.
When mounting the camera on the unit, take sufficient
steps to ensure that it will not become detached from the
unit or fall onto the floor.
A length of wire for preventing the camera from dropping
is provided. Read the operating instructions first, and
then be absolutely sure to attach the wire and take the
necessary measures to prevent the camera from falling.
Install the unit in such a way that the equipment mounted
on it and its cables will not come into contact with anything
when the pan-tilt head swivels, and set definite movement
limits.
( For details on the limiter settings, refer to the operating
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave
it in place, and be absolutely sure to remove it.
