QUICK START PTU-D300 User’s Manual (v2.18.0)

2.3 Basic Setup Steps

The following outlines the basic pan-tilt set-up and installation steps. Section 3 details each

of these steps.

1. Unpack the D300 pan-tilt. Mount the pan-tilt securely. See section 3.1 for details on

mounting.

2. Establish wiring to the pan-tilt. Factory cable with breakouts for power and other

connections makes this easy (model D300AC-CABLE). Or you can make your own cables

that better suit your installation.

3. Connect an RS-232 or RS-485 cable between Pan-Tilt Control input and a host computer.

When using factory cable D300AC-CABLE, standard RS232 connection (DB9F) is

provided. HyperTerminal (built into Windows) is the most commonly used comm program.

Communications parameters are: 9600 baud, no parity, no handshaking. (see Section 3.4).

4. Provide DC power to the pan-tilt. When using factory cable D300AC-CABLE, easy plug-in

power is provided by AC/DC power supply model D300AC-APS-30V. Or you can obtain

your own DC power source that better suits your installation.

5. Power up the pan-tilt. If power is working, the unit will go through a power-up calibration.

At power up, the pan-tilt defaults to providing splash text on your terminal that will identify

the unit configuration. Pan-tilt operation can then be tested by typing commands into your

terminal program.

6. Section 3.6 describes some basic pan-tilt commands to get you going. Section 4 provides a

full description of all pan-tilt unit commands and queries.

7. You can now mount and wire your payload (e.g., camera) on the pan-tilt unit (see Section

3.8).
