    (if this feature exists) or use fuses. Remember to derate the fuse, if mounted in an enclosure, as the temperature will be higher than ambient. The external power supply needs to be able to supply at least 8.0A. The use of a regulated power supply with 100% short circuit protection is recommended.
  • Page 18: Trigger Input

    Trigger input The trigger input is opto-isolated. The opto-isolator isolates voltages up to 50V. Signal Function TRGI – Trigger input negative TRGI + Trigger input positive The trigger input circuit is as follows: The trigger input circuit operates as follows: When a voltage of 5V to 24V is applied across TRGI –...
  • Page 19: Ethernet Option

    The trigger output can used to switch a signal of up to 24V, switching up to 20mA when on. When the output is logic 1 (on) a current of up to 20mA can flow. The maximum current must be limited to an absolute maximum of 50mA by the external circuit.
  • Page 20: General Description

    General description The VTR6 current controller provides repeatable intensity and timing control for strobe lighting. Two modes of operation are provided for the light output: Pulse (strobe) In pulse mode the output is pulsed once per trigger. The delay from trigger to pulse, the pulse duration and the brightness can be set.
  • Page 21: Pulsed Output

    Pulsed output The output is off by default. When the VTR6 is triggered it waits for a delay and then pulses the output. This delay can be set from 0.01ms to 999ms. Retrigger delay is the minimum allowed time from one trigger to the next. Any triggers that happen too soon after the previous trigger are ignored.
  • Page 22: Trigger Output

    Trigger output This signal can be used to trigger a camera. It can be used for pulse width exposure control of the camera. The trigger timing for the light and camera can be adjusted relative to each other. This output is triggered at the same time as the light strobe output. The delay and pulse width for this signal can be controlled independently of the light pulse.
  • Page 23: Ethernet Address (Ethernet Versions Only)

    Ethernet address (Ethernet versions only) You may need to ask your network administrator for advice about setting up the Ethernet connection. Ethernet set up is not affected by cold booting the VTR6. Connection The Ethernet link uses a 10 base-T connection on an RJ45 connector. The VTR6 is usually connected to a network switch (or hub or router).
  • Page 24: Network Broadcast Packets

    8.2.1 Programmed IP address and DHCP For DHCP mode, the VTR6 acquires its IP address, subnet mask and gateway address from a DHCP server. Otherwise the VTR6 has a fixed IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. DHCP mode or the IP address can be set using the RaytecMaint software available for download at www.rayteccctv.com.
  • Page 25: Webpage Configuration (Ethernet Versions Only)

    Webpage configuration (Ethernet versions only) The VTR6 has a web server inside, so that it can be configured from a standard web browser, such as Internet Explorer. The IP address of the VTR6 must be known (see Section 8, Ethernet address (Ethernet versions only)).
  • Page 26: Main Page

    Main page The main page shows general information about the VTR6. Links are provided to the configuration pages. An example of the main page is shown below: General setup page The general setup page allows the webpage protection password to be set or cleared and the internal trigger to be set up.

    Light output configuration page This page allows the parameters for the light to be set up. Press the Submit button to update the VTR6 and save the changes to non-volatile memory. Some measured values are displayed on this page, and an example of the page is shown below: Trigger output configuration page This page allows the parameters for the trigger output to be set up.
  • Page 28: Configuration Commands

    Configuration commands The VTR6 can be configured via the Ethernet connection which allows data entry through the unit's web pages using UDP or TCP/IP. 10.1 Ethernet communication For TCP, commands from a host should be sent to destination port 30313. Replies are sent to destination port 30312.

  • Page 34: Reference Information

    Reference information This section contains information about the VTR6's ratings, restrictions, error and event codes. Ratings 11.1 The electrical ratings of the connections are: Signal Rating Power input 24VDC ± 10%. Maximum ripple 10%. Opto-coupler input: ~2 kohms series resistance. 0V to 2V is a logic 0.
  • Page 35: Event Codes

    Error Reason number This is a warning, not an error. One of the parameters is out of range. The value of the parameter has been Err 5 adjusted. For example, sending an RT command with a delay of 0 results in 'Err 5'. The command is accep- ted but the delay is set to the minimum allowed.
