  • Page 17: Power Supply

    Power supply Refer to the information in Section 2, Safety (or Section 3, Sicherheit, or Section 4, Sécurité) concerning power supply arrangements for the VTR4. Choose a PSU that limits its output current by design, by setting the current limit on the supply (if this feature exists) or use fuses.

  • Page 18: Trigger Input

    Note: The peak of these current pulses is typically 8 Amps, and that mean current consumption is typically 5 Amps once the power-up sequence is complete, and the VTR4 is running at maximum brightness and duty cycle. Trigger input The trigger input is opto-isolated. The opto-isolator isolates voltages up to 50V. Signal Function TRGI –...

  • Page 19: Ethernet Option

    The trigger output circuit is shown below: The trigger output can be 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.

  • Page 20: General Description

    General description The VTR4 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 VTR4 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 Input

    Trigger input The trigger input is used as follows: Mode Trigger input Output Output is off if P flag = 1 Trigger input = off Output is on if P flag = 0 Switched Output is on if P flag = 1 Trigger input = on Output is off if P flag = 0 Trigger rising edge...

  • 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 VTR4. Connection The Ethernet link uses a 10 base-T connection on an RJ45 connector. The VTR4 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 VTR4 acquires its IP address, subnet mask and gateway address from a DHCP server. Otherwise the VTR4 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 VTR4 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 VTR4 must be known (see Section 8, Ethernet address (Ethernet versions only)).

  • Page 26: Main Page

    Main page The main page of the RaytecMaint shows general information about the VTR4. 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.

  • Page 28: Configuration Commands

    Configuration commands The VTR4 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 36: Reference Information

    Reference information This section contains information about the VTR4'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 37: 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.
