To attach and test your payload:
1. Mount your payload. Side mounting is preferable for heavy loads because this keeps the payload CG
closer to the tilt axis, thereby minimizing torque requirements.
2. Verify that the payload is securely attached to the payload bracket.
3. Move the PTU tilt axis through its entire range to test its ability to carry the load.
- If you are using the Web interface, open the PTU Control page and click the arrows to move the
PTU through its full range of tilt motion, as described in the Pan-Tilt E Series Command Reference
Manual . If needed, click Halt to stop the PTU immediately.
- If you are using the terminal interface, enter
TN TX
to query the tilt minimum and maximum
limits, then enter
TP<min> A TP<max>
to cycle the PTU through its entire tilt range (where
<min>
is the number returned by the
TN
query and
<max>
is the number returned by the
TX
query). If needed, enter
H
to stop the PTU immediately.
If the load is too heavy or moving too quickly, the PTU will lose synchronization, which will be
audible as a grinding sound from the PTU motors. Stop the test immediately if this occurs, and refer
to
“Heavy-Payload Operation” on page 28 and “Battery Powered Operation” on page 29 . This does
not damage the PTU but does indicate that the payload is not mounted and/or the PTU is not
configured correctly to move the payload.
4. Move the PTU pan axis through its entire range to test its ability to carry the load.
- If you are using the Web interface, open the PTU Control page and click the arrows to move the
PTU through its full range of pan motion, as described in the Pan-Tilt E Series Command Refer-
ence Manual . If needed, click Halt to stop the PTU immediately.
- If you are using the terminal interface, enter
PN PP
to query the pan minimum and maximum
limits, then enter
PN<min> A PP<max>
to cycle the PTU through its entire tilt range (where
CAUTION: THE CG OF TOP-MOUNTED PAYLOADS IS FURTHER FROM THE TILT AXIS AND
MAY REQUIRE MORE TORQUE THAN A SIMILAR SIDE-MOUNTED PAYLOAD.
WARNING: STOP THE PTU IMMEDIATELY BY EITHER CLICKING HALT (WEB INTERFACE)
OR ISSUING AN H COMMAND (SERIAL INTERFACE) IF THE PAYLOAD IS ABOUT TO
COLLIDE WITH THE PTU-5 AND/OR ANOTHER OBSTACLE. A COLLISION COULD CAUSE A
STRUCTURAL FAILURE THAT MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
Note: Please refer to “Heavy-Payload Operation” on page 28 for more information on
configuring the PTU for heavier payloads.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROCEED BEYOND THIS STEP UNLESS AND UNTIL THE PTU PASSES
THE TILT AXIS MOTION TEST.
