Pyramid DC Receiver Installation Manual PRODUCT SAFETY WARNING Please follow these instructions as you install the equipment and keep them for future use. Installation is only to be carried out by competent, qualified and experienced personnel in accordance with the country of installations National Wiring Regulations. Failure to do so can result in injury or death by electric shock. Use a class 2 isolated power supply for the 12V DC.
Installation Manual Pyramid DC Receiver THE DC RECEIVER The Pyramid DC Receiver is a variable speed pan and tilt control receiver that can be connected to any camera within the Pyramid system that has a DC Pan/Tilt head. The receiver is easy to install, and a service pin and test button are included to aid the installation process. Once it has been fitted, the receiver drives the Pan/Tilt head at variable speed by using the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) of the 24V DC supply to the head.

Installation Manual Pyramid DC Receiver PCB POWER CONNECTIONS A +24V DC, 65W class 2 power supply unit is connected to the PCB through CON1. The necessary connections have already been made on the boxed variants (see Figure 3), so there is no need for the installer to make any further power connections to the PCB. On PCB versions, connect the +24V DC as shown below.
Pyramid DC Receiver Installation Manual CONNECTING THE LENS DRIVE OUTPUTS CON3 provides the lens drive outputs for focus, iris and zoom. The drive voltage is +12V DC at up to 100 mA. Refer to your lens instructions and connect up your lens according to Figure 5.

Installation Manual Pyramid DC Receiver CONNECTING AUXILIARIES Up to four auxiliaries can be connected and powered by the DC receiver via CON9, CON10 and CON11. Auxiliaries are connected to CON10 and CON11, and a power supply is connected to CON9. The power supply is then switched through to CON10 and CON11, thus powering the auxiliaries. A 240V AC mains power supply or a 24V AC power supply can be used (although it should be noted that no auxiliary should draw over 2A at 240V AC).
Pyramid DC Receiver Installation Manual CONNECTING THE PAN/TILT HEAD CON13 provides the power output connections for the Pan/Tilt head. The connections that must be made depend on the type of Pan/Tilt head used (e.g., 4-wire, 6-wire, 8-wire). When using an 8-wire Pan/Tilt head, all eight terminals on CON13 will be used (see Figure 8). When using 6-wire Pan/ Tilt heads, only the top six terminals on CON13 will be used, with Pan Brake Return (No.2) and Tilt Brake Return (No.1) left unused.
Installation Manual Pyramid DC Receiver FITTING NETWORK CARDS To connect the DC receiver to the network, it is first necessary to ensure that the correct Pyramid network card is fitted to the PCB. The cards that can be used are as follows: PY-COM Combined network card. Can be configured for use in RS485 and RS422 networks. Automatic baud-rate selection between low and high speeds (9.8k b.p.s. or 78k b.p.s.). PY-FTT Compatible with FTT10 (Flexible Topology) 2-wire bus-connected, half duplex.
Pyramid DC Receiver Installation Manual PY-COM NETWORK CARDS If a PY-COM network card is fitted to the DC receiver, it can be configured by means of dip switches for use in both RS485 and RS422 networks. The dip switches for the different network types are shown below: RS485 Mode RS485 networks are 2-wire, bus-connected (also referred to as daisy-chain). In RS485 mode, the dip-switches on the PY-COM will be set differently depending on where the unit is placed on the network.
Installation Manual Pyramid DC Receiver NETWORK CONNECTIONS Once the required network card has been fitted to the DC receiver PCB, the unit can be wired to the network. The way in which this is done depends on the network protocol in use, as each of the protocols that can be used with the module (RS485, RS422, FTT10 and Fibre) have different connections and wiring conventions. For RS485, RS422 and FTT10 protocols, the network is wired to CON19.
Pyramid DC Receiver Installation Manual ADDRESSING A RECEIVER WITH THE PYRAMID 2 KEYBOARD Each receiver that is connected to the Pyramid system must have a unique address called a network address, and an operator with installer privileges can do this using the Pyramid 2 Keyboard. Configuration of the receiver requires the service button to be pressed on the receiver PCB, and this may be a two man operation if the receiver is located remotely from the keyboard.
Installation Manual Pyramid DC Receiver ADDRESSING A RECEIVER WITH THE MK1 KEYBOARD A receiver can also be addressed using the Pyramid Mk1 Keyboard. Follow the steps below: 1. Connect up a Pyramid Mk 1 Keyboard to the telemetry receiver. This can either be connected directly to the receive communications card at the receiver site, or remotely through the Pyramid network in the normal way. 2. Using the keyboard, insert the Installers Card and log on with the PIN number 1892. 3.
Pyramid DC Receiver Installation Manual SETTING RECEIVER CONFIGURATION WITH THE PYRAMID 2 KEYBOARD After a receiver has been addressed, the Pyramid 2 Keyboard can be used to specify the configuration of the receiver remotely via the Pyramid network. To set the configuration of a receiver, follow the steps below: 1. Enter the keyboard menu system. See the Pyramid 2 Keyboard Operating Manual for more details. 2. Select a monitor by entering a number and pressing the Monitor key. 3.
Installation Manual Pyramid DC Receiver SETTING RECEIVER CONFIGURATION WITH THE MK1 KEYBOARD The Pyramid Mk1 Keyboard can also be used to specify the receiver configuration. Follow the steps below: 1. Log on using an installers card (Use Fn 100 if the receiver is not connected to a matrix). 2. Select a valid monitor, and then enter the number of the receiver that is to be configured. 3. Press the List Up key twice to select Change Rx Config. 4. Select the Yes soft key. 5.
Pyramid DC Receiver Installation Manual TESTING Once the receiver has been addressed and configured, an on board test procedure can be activated which steps through outputs in the sequence shown in the table below. The test procedure also allows the receiver to detect the feedback polarity for the Pan/Tilt head and lens. The test procedure should be carried out once the Pan/Tilt head has been fitted in position. It runs when the test button is pressed with an appropriate tool (Figure 2).
Installation Manual Pyramid DC Receiver SPECIFICATIONS Usage Variable speed pan and tilt control receiver that can be connected to a camera within the Pyramid system that has a DC P/T head. Once fitted, the unit will drive a PTZ head and up to four auxiliary functions (e.g., wipers, lights). The receiver can also be programmed remotely with privacy zones, limit stops, random patrols, and 128 presets.
