Page 14: Mounting The Vts
Mounting the VTS The VTS may be mounted using the M6 clearance holes 'A' in the illustration below (there are two on each side), or by using the mounting bracket supplied. The VTS mounting bracket is shown in the illustration overleaf. It is drilled with five M8 clearance holes for attaching the VTS to your structure, and its angle can be adjusted by slackening the mounting screws 'B'. -
Page 16: Connecting The Vts
Connecting the VTS All connections to the VTS are made through an unterminated, screened 16 core cable. The length of this cable is either 2000mm or 3000mm depending on what you specified. The terminations for the cable are explained in Section 6.1, Network connection. -
Page 17: Connecting The Power Supply
Connecting the power supply Refer to Section 2, Safety (or Section 3, Sicherheit, or Section 4, Sécurité) for important electrical safety information. Choose a power supply unit that limits its output current by design, by setting the current limit on the supply (if this feature exists) or use fuses. The external power supply should be able to supply at least 6A. -
Page 18: Trigger Input
Trigger input The trigger input is opto-isolated. The opto-isolator isolated voltages up to 50V. Signal Function TRIGI – Trigger input – TRIGI + Trigger input + The trigger input circuit is shown below: The trigger input circuit operates as follows: Logic 1 (on) When a voltage of 5V to 24V is applied across TRGI negative (–) and TRGI positive (+), the trigger input is logic 1 (on). -
Page 19: Trigger Output
Trigger output The trigger output is opto-isolated and can be used to trigger other external equipment, such as additional lights or an external camera. The opto-isolator isolates voltages up to 50V. The outgoing pulse length and transmission delay can be adjusted, enabling the complete control of the trigger timing between a VTS and a camera. -
Page 20: Communications
Communications The VTS may be specified as having Ethernet or RS232 communications. Ethernet option 6.5.1 The Ethernet connection is 100-Base T and runs at 100 Mbits per second. 6.5.2 RS232 option The RS232 connections are as follows: The communications port should be set to 115200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. -
Page 21: General Description
General description The VTS current controller provides repeatable intensity and timing control for its strobe lighting. Two modes of operation are provided for the light output: Pulse (strobe) — the output is pulsed once per trigger. One trigger input is used as a trigger. -
Page 22: Pulsed Output
Pulsed output The output is off by default. When the VTS is triggered, it waits for a delay and then pulses the output. Re-trigger delay is the minimum allowed time from one trigger to the next. Any triggers that occur too soon after the previous trigger are ignored. The re-trigger delay is set in multiples of 100μs. -
Page 23: Trigger Input Options
Trigger input options The trigger sense and the way the VTS is triggered can be changed according to how you set the 'P' flag. This is summarised in the table below: Mode Trigger input Output Is off if P Flag = 1 Input = off Is on if P-Flag = 0 Switched... -
Page 24: Ethernet Address
Ethernet address When setting up Ethernet versions of the VTS, you may need to ask your network administrator for advice about making the Ethernet connection. Ethernet set-up is not affected by power cycling the VTS. The Ethernet link uses a 100-base T connection. An RJ45 connector may be wired to the free end of the cable to facilitate this. -
Page 25: Programmed Ip Address And Dhcp
RaytecMaint allows you to view the controllers on your network, change their IP addresses and upgrade their firmware if it becomes necessary. In the messaging section of RaytecMaint, you can communicate with your light using the commands explained in Section 10, Configuration commands. You can also open the light's web pages by clicking the Link to controller webpage button on RaytecMaint. -
Page 26: Webpage Configuration
Webpage configuration You can set up the VTS through its own internal web pages. Select the VTS you want to configure in RaytecMaint and click the Open webpage… button to take you directly to the VTS’s web pages. You can also type the light’s IP address (displayed in RaytecMaint) into your web browser, which will display the Main page. -
Page 27: Light Configuration Page
Light configuration page The Light Configuration page (shown below) allows you to view some of the light's data such as its temperature, lifetime (how long the light has been powered up) and how long it has been emitting light. You can also set the light's parameters, such as its mode (pulsed or switched), the light's brightness and pulse settings. -
Page 28: Trigger Output Configuration Page
Trigger output configuration page The Trigger Output configuration page (shown below) allows you to set up the pulse parameters for the trigger output pulse. -
Page 29: Configuration Commands
Configuration commands The VTS can be configured through the Ethernet connection using UDP or TCP/IP. Ethernet communication For TCP and UDP, commands from a host should be sent to destination port 30313. Any port number can be used as the source port. Replies are sent to the source port from 30313. -

For example: Parameter Meaning 0.1 milliseconds 200us 200 microseconds 0.1s 0.1 seconds Note: The characters are in USA/UK format, so that ‘a half’ is written as ‘0.5’ (rather than ‘0,5’). The command codes and their meanings are summarised below (that is, in the table on the next page). - Page 31 Report the configuration This command reports all the channel settings. A typical output is: CH 1, MD 1, S 100.0 DL 10us, PU 1.000ms, RT 1.020ms, IP1,FL0, CS0.000A, RA24V Where: Channel number Mode: 1 = pulsed; 2 = switched Brightness in percent Pulse delay Pulse width Retrigger delay...
- Page 32 Clear configuration This command clears the configuration. The results of the RW, RT, RE, and TT commands are all cleared. Enable Ethernet messages Where: = 0 to disable Ethernet messages = 1 to enable Ethernet messages When Ethernet messages are enabled, any error reports are sent to the most recent UDP or TCP addresses from which a command has been received.

Page 33: Lighting Commands
Lighting commands 10.3 The lighting command codes and their meanings are described below. The upper-case commands are shown, followed by lower case letters denoting the numeric argument. Note any changes using these commands are not saved permanently until the AW command has been issued. Set switched mode The output is set to switched mode at a specified percentage of full brightness. - Page 34 Set option flags REc,p Where: output: 1 for light strobe output, 2 for trigger output signal. P Flag: 0 is set (positive triggers), 4 is cleared (negative triggers). Set the internal trigger This command enables or disables the internal trigger. When enabled, all outputs are triggered simultaneously using an internal trigger signal.

Page 36: Reference Information
Reference information This section gives the electrical ratings and details of any restrictions on the use of your VTS. Event and error codes are also listed. Ratings and restrictions 11.1 VTS10 VTS20 Wavelength White, 730nm, 850nm, 940nm (others on request) Max pulse width 730nm, 850nm, 940nm: 3ms (1ms at max intensity) White: 3ms (1ms at max intensity) -
Page 37: Event Codes
The VTS has the following restrictions on its operation: The minimum delay for the light pulse output is approximately 2μs. When using the re-trigger delay, the minimum delay is approximately 5μs. For pulse widths of less than approximately 70μs, fault detection does not operate. The minimum delay for the trigger output is approximately 2μs. - Page 38 Error No Reason Err 27 Cannot read Ethernet settings from EEPROM, so these may be incorrect. Err 33 The VTS is too hot. The unit has a thermal cut-out that operates at approximately 85°C, depending on conditions. Err 49 Ethernet communications are not present (normal for RS232 versions).
