Section 6 Appendix; Communications Bridge Board Interface (Optional); Electrical Connections; Wire The Bridge Board Interface - Will Burt PositionIt PI-35 Operator's Manual

Section 6
This section contains the appendix for your system.
Follow all precautions when installing and operating components discussed in this section.
Contact the Will-Burt Company with any questions before performing any procedure outlined in
this manual.

6.1 Communications Bridge Board Interface (optional)

Will-Burt offers an optional communications bridge board interface (P/N: 5090411). The bridge
board interface allows use of the contact switches for pan and tilt control. The bridge board
interface is not required for systems using the default joystick controller (P/N: 5098901).
Electronic limit stops cannot be programmed using the bridge board with contact switch
arrangement. The default joystick controller (P/N: 5098901) must be used to program the
electronic limit stops.
The bridge board interface can be operated with:

The Panel Mount Control Assembly (P/N: 4270601) (section 6.2)

Toggle Switches

Push Buttons
These controls are wired into J11 (Figure 6-1).

6.1.1 Electrical Connections

The electrical connections are as follows (Figure 6-1):

J3: Board Power

J11: Discrete Inputs (active high) [contact closure]

6.1.2 Wire the Bridge Board Interface

The bridge board interface operates from 10-33 VDC, however the positioner requires 24 VDC
for proper operation. Will-Burt recommends applying 24 VDC to the bridge board interface,
allowing the power to be controlled and fused to the positioner. To achieve this, apply
switched/fused 24 VDC vehicle power directly to J3 (red +, black -).
Wire the bridge board interface (Figure 6-1) according to Table 6-1. The twisted pair on J3 is not
used. Only the wires from J11 and J3 are used in this application. When using the panel mount
control assembly (P/N: 4270601) (section 6.2) the customer can connect the contact closure
wires to a female connector (P/N: 213246) to allow the bridge board interface to plug to the
panel mount controller assembly. The female connector (P/N: 213246) is not necessary when
using toggle switches or push buttons.
