Section 6 Appendix; Communications Bridge Board Interface (Optional); Electrical Connections; Wire The Bridge Board Interface - Will Burt ACCUPOINT AP-8 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 United Kingdom 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 joystick controller. Electronic limit stops
cannot be programmed using the bridge board with contact switch arrangement. The joystick
controller 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 see Figure 6-1

6.1.1 Electrical Connections

The electrical connections are as follows see 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
24VDC for proper operation. Will-Burt recommends applying 24VDC to the bridge board
interface, allowing the power to be controlled and fused to the positioner. To achieve this,
apply switched/fused 24VDC 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.
