Ethernet Connection - FLIR PTU-5 User Manual

3. Connect the AC plug on the power supply into a power strip with a switch, and then connect the DC
connector to either the breakout cable or customer-supplied cable.
4. Establish Ethernet or serial wiring to the PTU as appropriate for your needs.
- Please see "Ethernet Connection" on page 11
- Please see "Serial Connection" on page 13
5. Power on and test the PTU.
6. Attach a payload to the top or side brackets.
CAUTION: THE PTU-5 DOES NOT SUPPORT SIMULTANEOUS MOUNTING OF PAYLOADS
ON BOTH THE TOP AND SIDE BRACKETS.

3.4 - Ethernet Connection

The PTU contains a Web-based interface that allows you to test and program various functions. This
interface is accessible via the Ethernet connection on the breakout cable.
Note: You may use simultaneous Ethernet and serial connections.
To connect, power on, and test the PTU using the Ethernet connection and Web interface:
1. Connect one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the PTU, and then connect the other end of the cable
to the host computer, either directly or through a router/hub.
2. Connect a power source to the PTU, making sure to incorporate a readily accessible power
disconnect (such as a power strip) to allow safe power removal from the system. See
page 17.
CAUTION: REMOVING POWER BY PULLING THE PLUG CAN DAMAGE THE PTU.
3. Ensure that the PTU is clear to move in both axes (pan and tilt) without hitting any obstructions
before applying power.
WARNING: HITTING AN OBSTACLE WHILE THE PTU IS IN MOTION COULD CAUSE A
MOUNTING OR OTHER STRUCTURAL FAILURE THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR
DEATH.
4. Power on the PTU. When the PTU-5 is powered up, it goes through a short reset in both axes. The
amount of motion on reset will vary at different areas of the axis, but generally it will move no more
than 12 degrees in either direction.
