Introduction
Accessories
≥The AW-RL400 roll unit enables a camera to be rotated
when it is used in combination with the AW-PH400 indoor
pan/tilt head.NOTE
≥Since the roll unit causes the camera to rotate, the user
should ensure that all the wiring such as the camera
cable and lens cable will not become entangled when
the roll unit is operated.
≥When the roll unit 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.

Connections
≥Turn off the power of all the equipment before proceeding with the connections.
≥Use the AW-PS505 as the AC adaptor for the AW-RP400 pan/tilt control panel. Use the DC cable supplied with
the AW-PS505 to connect the DC 12V IN socket on the AW-RP400 with the DC 12V OUT socket on the 
AW-PS505.
≥Connect the AC power cable supplied with the AW-PH400 for the AW-PH400 indoor pan/tilt head.
≥Use the AC adaptor (optional accessory) for the AW-RC400 cable compensation unit.
≥Use 10BASE-T straight cables to connect the IP/RP connectors on the pan/tilt heads with the CONTROL OUT
TO PAN/TILT HEAD (1 to 5) connectors on the AW-RP400. The maximum extension distance is 500 meters
when using UTP category 5 cables or their equivalent.
≥Use the camera cables supplied with the pan/tilt head to connect the AW-PH400 to the convertible camera.
≥Connect the iris control cable of the motorized zoom lens to the IRIS connector on the camera, and connect the
zoom/focus cable to the LENS I/F connector on the pan/tilt head.
≥Use either the AW-CB400 remote operation panel or WV-CB700A remote control box for camera control.
The AW-CB400 and WV-CB700A cannot be used together.
≥When using the AW-CB400, use the cable (10 m) supplied with the AW-CB400 to connect the CAMERA
CONTROL IN FROM ROP connector on the AW-RP400 with the I/F CONNECTOR on the AW-CB400.
Five cameras can be controlled from the AW-CB400.
Power is supplied through this cable from the AW-RP400 to the AW-CB400 so the AC adaptor need not be
connected to the AW-CB400.
≥When using the WV-CB700A, use the RCB cables (2 m) supplied with the WV-CB700A to connect the
CAMERA CONTROL IN FROM RCB (1 to 5) connectors on the AW-RP400 with the RCB connectors on the
WV-CB700A.
Only one camera can be controlled from the WV-CB700A. If there is a multiple number of cameras, one 
AW-CB700A will be required for each camera. It is also necessary to align the number of the CONTROL OUT
TO PAN/TILT HEAD connectors connected to the cameras to be controlled with the CAMERA CONTROL IN
FROM RCB connectors used to connect the WV-CB700A.
≥Use the 10BASE-T straight cable to connect the MONI SEL OUT connector on the AW-RP400 with the MONI
SEL IN connector on the AW-RC400. The maximum extension distance is 50 meters when using a UTP
category 5 cable or its equivalent.
By connecting these MONI SEL connectors, the video signals of the camera selected by the AW-RP400 can be
output from the MONITOR1 connector and the video signals of the camera selected by the AW-CB400 can be
output from the MONITOR2 connector.
When the WV-CB700A is used, MONITOR2 cannot be switched.
≥Use a coaxial cable to connect the AW-RC400 and AW-PH400.
≥Supply the genlock signals from a unit such as a signal generator to the G/L IN connector on the AW-RC400,
and connect the G/L OUT (1 to 5) connectors on the AW-RC400 with the G/L IN connectors on the pan/tilt
heads.
≥When using composite signals, connect the VIDEO connectors on the pan/tilt heads and Y/VIDEO IN
connectors (1 to 5) on the AW-RC400.
Also connect the Y/VIDEO OUT connectors on the AW-RC400 to switchers or monitors.
≥When using Y/C signals, connect the Y connectors and Pr/C connectors on the pan/tilt heads to the Y/VIDEO
IN connectors and Pr/C IN connectors, respectively, on the AW-RC400.
Also connect the Y/VIDEO OUT connectors and Pr/C OUT connectors on the AW-RC400 to switchers or
monitors.
≥When using component signals, connect the Y connector, Pr/C connector and Pb connector on the pan/tilt head
to the Y/VIDEO IN connector, Pr/C IN connector and Pb IN connector, respectively, on the cable compensation
unit.
Also connect the Y/VIDEO OUT connectors, Pr/C OUT connectors and Pb OUT connectors on the AW-RC400
to switchers or monitors.
