3.10 LCD Display - Selector Menu
The Selector Menu allows users to access additional control functionality and features. To open
the Selector Menu, press the "Stow" and "Unstow" push-button controls simultaneously. You
can scroll through the various menu options using the 'left' and 'right' push button. To select a
menu option, press the 'down' push button and to back out of a menu option or the menu all
together press the 'up' push button.
[STOW] + [UNSTOW] → Open Selector Menu
[LEFT] or [RIGHT] → Scroll through Selector Menu options
[DOWN] → Select/Enter current option
[Up] → Go back
Some menu options within the Selector Menu are 'address specific' and others are not. The
user can identify which commands are 'address specific' by selecting a menu option and
noticing whether or not the 'address' is displayed at the top right of the LCD. If a menu option is
'address specific' then adjusting that option will only affect the positioner assigned to the
address that is displayed. If the menu option is not address specific then that option will affect all
positioners on the data line.
3.10.1 Address Select
The Address can be selected within the Selector Menu to determine which positioner to control.
This allows users to control multiple positioners on a single data line using a single Rackmount
Controller. The user can choose between addresses 1-255.
3.10.2 Degrees or Radians
The [DEG OR RAD] menu option in the Selector Menu allows the user to designate the pan and
tilt position feedback to be displayed in either degrees or radians on the Home Screen.
3.10.3 Zero Home Position
The [SET ZERO POS] menu option in the Selector Menu allows the user to set the pan and tilt
position feedback on the home screen to 'zero'. To do this, drive the positioner to the desired
'Home' position and select [ZERO] in the [SET ZERO POS] menu option. The factory default
'Home' position can be reset by selecting [DEFAULT] in the [SET ZERO POS] menu option.
3.10.4 Setting & Clearing Electronic Limit Stops
The [LIMIT STOP] menu option in the Selector Menu allows the user to set and clear electronic
limit stops. Electronic limit stops limit the positioner's pan and tilt travel range in order to avoid
positioner/payload collision. Electronic limit stops should be set during installation of the
positioner to avoid collision with third party obstructions which could damage the positioner or its
payload. The user can set a limit stop to restrict travel in the pan left (CCW), pan right (CW), tilt
up and/or tilt down directions. To do this, drive the positioner to a desired travel limit stop
location, select the appropriate electronic limit stop direction (left, right, up or down) in the
[LIMIT STOP] menu option and select [SET]. Back out of the Selector Menu to the and drive the
positioner away and then towards the limit stop to ensure it has been appropriately set. Limit
stops can be cleared by selecting the appropriate limit stop in the [LIMIT STOP] menu option
and then selecting [CLR].
