Calling Presets with the Keyboard
The preferred way to call a preset position is with the keyboard as moving the joystick while
in the menu will not stop the motion of the positioner (e.g., if an emergency stop is required).
To call a stored preset position using the keyboard:
1. Press [N] where “N” represents the number assigned to the desired preset position.
2. Press [Pre]. The positioner will move to the preset position. When moving to a preset
position, the positioner will simultaneously pan and tilt for any user defined preset
position.
3. As the positioner nears the preset position, it will slow down. If an emergency stop is
required as the positioner is moving to a preset position, move the joystick to cancel
out the preset position command.
3.4.3.8 Rack Mount Controller
See Rack Mount Controller manual for further control details
3.4.3.9 User Supplied Controller
The Accupoint Positioners can be controlled using any Pelco D compatible controller over an
RS485 data line that supports the appropriate command sets (ie, tilt, pan, etc.). The user
should refer to the controller manual for setup and installation details. The user should refer
to the Positioner Specifications page of this manual to ensure compatibility and appropriate
setup.
In the case of controlling the positioner using a PC/laptop via a Graphic User Interface (GUI)
the user will need a USB to RS485 converter for sending and receiving data to and from the
positioner. The Accupoint Positioners support several Pelco D command sets including
Absolute Positioning and Positional Feedback (Query Position). See Section 6.3 for a list of
supported Pelco D commands.
The Absolute Position of the “Factory Home” position, preset [0] (zero) is (See Figure 1-1):
Tilt = 0°
Pan = 180°
