Installation
5.
Place the assembly on the balancing beam and while maintaining the cradle centered on the pipe, slide the camera along the cradle’s grooves until the camera and cradle remain balanced
Tilt-axis mounting slots

FIG. 20 Balancing the camera/lens cradle assembly
6.
Mount the camera as close to the tilt hub as possible to obtain a true center of gravity.
7.
Secure both the camera mounting and tilt-axis screws.
8.
Take the entire camera/lens assembly and slide it along the tilt hub until the vertical-axis of the
PT30 intersects the center of the camera’s iris. Refer to the PT10 Camera/Lens Mounting and
Balancing section on page 15 for more information on alignment.
9.
Mark the position of the white tilt-axis marker on the camera/lens cradle (use this position for later attachment of the camera/lens assembly to the tilt hub).
10. Remove the camera/lens from the cradle.
11. Secure the camera/lens assembly to the tilt hub by using the lens centerline markings for the camera as a reference (see previous step) with the eight 32x ¾" screws and washers removed in step 1.
12. Re-attach the camera to its previous position on the cradle.
Wiring the Connectors
Each PosiTrack Controller has an RS-232 DB-9 connector, lens control DB-15 high-density connector, and an AXlink 4-pin connector. Always provide enough cable to accommodate the desired range of motion for the PosiTrack units and their camera/lenses. The Lens Power switch on the control panel, removes any power noise on the incoming video by turning power On/Off to Pin
1 of the DB-15 lens control connector.
The LENS POWER switch can turn power Off to the DB-15 pin 1 when the camera/ lens is powered from a separate supply.
FIG. 21 shows the location of each connector on the AXB-PT10. The PosiTrack Controller receives
all power from the +12 VDC and GND connections on the four-pin AXlink connector. The portion of the power directed toward the pan/tilt motors is fused to protect the PosiTrack Controller and pan/tilt motors; the fuses reset themselves.
