PT10-ADD Additional Camera Pan/Tilt System
Troubleshooting
General
!
Balancing of camera/lens assembly is critical!
Improper balancing can cause tilt
errors and lockup problems.
!
On error detection, pan/tilt movement stops (for safety) and will not move until power is
cycled. Upon power cycle unit will attempt movement again until another error is
detected.
Lens
!
The four slide switches next to the under the circular cover set the lens voltage control
mode. All Sony approved lenses are Positional Servo style lenses so all four slide
switches must all be set to the left.
!
The
LENS POWER
switch t12VDC on pin 1 of the 15 pin D sub connector. All
Sony approved lenses get power from the camera so set the
LENS POWER
switch to the
CAM position. If the lens gets power from the camera
and
you try to supply power from
the PT10, damage may occur.
!
Many lenses are not connected to the 15 pin lens port at all and are actually controlled by
the camera, which we control via RS232. In these cases the lens control problem is
usually an RS232 communication issue between the PT10 and the camera. Check the
RS232 cable and restart the Master (AXB-EM232 or Axcent
3
).
Setup
With multiple camera systems the PT10 AXlink DIP switches must be set to unique values. All
AXB-PT10's are factory set to device 90 which corresponds to camera 1 on the controller.
Additional PT10's should be set sequentially.
Use the DIPSwitch.exe program to reference the correct switch settings. Power must be cycled for
changes to take effect.
