INSTALLING THE UNIT
i
Make sure that the installation surface can support at least four times the weight of the unit in normal operating conditions. In
case of excessive external stress (e.g. vibration, strong winds or impact), the equipment may need additional means of protection.
Proper stainless steel hardware should be carefully chosen to fasten the unit to the surfaces. Proper tools should be used during
the installation, in accordance to environmental requirements.
Use caution when lifting and assembling the unit. It is recommended that non-slip protective gloves be worn during installation.
The unit could bear sharp edges.
Electrical connections (such as plugs and cords) must be protected from potential hazardous environmental factors (e.g. foot
traffic, hitting objects).
Use appropriate tools for the purpose. The particular nature of the site where the device is to be installed may require special tools
for installation.
Tightening/loosening screws using automatic tools (such as drill drivers) may result in damaged threads.
After the installation of the unit, the desiccant bag must be placed inside the Pan & Tilt unit, assuring it won't be damaged by
rotating and moving parts.
h
During installation it is important to connect the earth ground attachment point of the unit to an appropriate grounding location
using a (minimum) 10 AWG copper stranded wire.
An all-pole mains switch with an opening distance between the contacts at least 3mm in each pole must be incorporated in the
electrical installation between the equipment and the main supply.
Isolating switches, circuit breakers or any equivalent device can be used as a disconnection switch. Such switch must be very
quickly recognizable and readily accessible.
Connecting GND/Earth/PE to line or neutral will result in damaging the device and will void the warranty.
Fasten all the cables inside the housing with cables ties or other fixing means to avoid the electrical contact with surrounding parts
in case that terminal blocks screw off.
Ensure that the unit case is properly earthed, connecting all the earth ground studs.
b
Do not connect the unit to a supply circuit unless the installation is completed. Check the proper position of the O-ring seals in
their groove.
It is recommended that all the connections and performed and tested on a safe area laboratory before installing on field.
General information
The device can be controlled from a PC with RS 485 converter using a suitable program (for example: Visual Studio).
To prevent damages and to assure a precise preset position, the receiver slows the motion as it gets near to the preset position.
The receiver is equipped with four LEDs. The L1 LED (green) is on when the receiver is correctly powered. The L2 LED (green) pulses when the
receiver receives data. The L3 LED (yellow) pulses when the receiver sends data. The L4 LED (red) pulses when the receiver is overheated.
Perform the electrical connections
i
Any action performed on the unit which is not described in this manual may damage it.
Pointing the camera at the sun may damage it.
Preset
Recall 99
calibrates the Camera Pots in case of motorized lens (needed the first time the camera is connected).
Complete the installation performing the camera connection referring to the manual of the camera/housing.
h
Check carefully the supply voltage marked on the label. Incorrect Power Supply Voltage may damage the unit. Do not overload
the terminal connection, as it may cause a fire or electrical shock hazard.
Open only the covers pointed out in this installation manual. Other covers should be open only by the manufacturer.
b
Make sure the threads of the unit are free of dirt and debris. A minimum of 10mm depth and 5 threads of engagement must be
maintained for all threaded holes.
To maintain the certification requirements and the IP rating of the unit, adequate certified cable glands must be used. Each unused
cable gland hole must be closed using a proper plug suitable for the housing marking.
Keep the unit tightly closed when operating.
Disconnect the equipment from the supply circuit and wait at least 5 minutes before opening.
Do not connect the unit to a supply circuit unless the installation is completed. Check the proper position of the O-ring seals in
their groove.
