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.
