PREFACE
The AW-LK30 is a lens controller for motor-driven lens-
es that have a zoom/focus control cable (fitted with a
12-pin female connector). Connected to a lens control
cable, it permits local control of lens zoom, focus, and
iris. (Applicable lenses: Panasonic AW-S14XBMD, AW-
LZ10MD6, AW-LZ14MD55, etc.)
PRECAUTIONS
• Power Off Before Plugging or Unplugging
Be sure to switch power off before plugging or
unplugging the cable.
• Little Moisture and Dust
Avoid using the unit at a humid and dusty place
because moisture and dust adversely affect the
parts inside.
• Handle with Care
Be careful not to drop the unit, and not to expose it
to strong shock or vibration. This is important to
prevent the unit from malfunction.
• Operating Temperature Range
Avoid using the unit at a cold place below –10°C or
at a hot place over +45°C because very low or high
temperature adversely affects the internal parts.
