UNPACKING AND INSTALLING THE PT-101 PAN TILT HEAD Included at the end of this manual is a graphical flow chart showing images of the correct manner of installation. Use it in conjunction with these written instructions to complete the installation of the PT-101 system. Remove the PT-101 head, camera bracket and accessories from the protective foam packaging.
LENS TYPE This is set by the factory when ordered for your specified lens type; 1 is for Rainbow and other CCTV type lenses, 5 is for Fujinon and Canon telecon lenses. The Fujinon C mount lenses with the -R11 designation are also set to type 5. 5 is for Fujinon and Canon telecon lenses when used on a compatible Eagle head. If your PT head has a TYPE 5 indicated on the serial number label, you should set your lens type to TYPE 5. This will allow instant saving of presets at any position and lens setting.
Now you may hook up the wiring to the Eagle™ control system and power supply, using the instructions included with those devices. If you are using the Eagle™ PT-T2 connection block, follow the instructions included with the PT-T2 for system configuration choices. Proceed to the next step ONLY when the system wiring is complete, and all connections have been verified for accuracy.
To set the address by remote control or software, follow this procedure. The address is set by the factory to 1 when shipped. If a change is required, follow the procedure for your particular model of Eagle™ controller. Keep in mind that if you have set the address switches to anything but all off, you cannot set the address from the remote controller: PT-C-50/55 controller: Enter FUNCT, PRESET 4, then select PRESET 1 through 8 to set addresses from 1 through 8.
these jumpers unless you are using a non-Hitachi camera set to RS-232 mode. ENERGIZING THE SYSTEM Power up the Eagle™ pan tilt controller before powering up the PT-101 pan tilt head. When this is done, you may now power up the power supply for the PT-101 head(s). Observe the red status LED lens on the front of the pan tilt head. About two seconds after power is applied, the LED should blink twice. This is to signal that the main microprocessor is active, and ready to receive a command.
DAMPING CONTROL New to the PT-101 is the ability to control the "damping" effect of the PT-C55 joystick interface with the pan/tilt action of the head being controlled. It does not matter what head you are using; the damping effect is a characteristic of the joystick output. The effect may be saved to presets stored inside the PT-101 head. Different presets may be saved with different levels of damping; whatever level is set on the C55 controller is the level the preset is stored at inside the PT-101 head.
will result. Verify the type of lens you are using and check the lens type as shown on page 7. I am trying to set up a preset shot, but the head isn’t returning to the correct position or zoom/focus setting. This could be caused by a number of things. First, if using a teleconferencing lens (TYPE 2), make sure you are going into POSITION mode (POS button) before trying to set the preset. If you are not in POSITION mode, the lens’ zoom and focus settings cannot be memorized.
