  • Page 12: Mounting The Vtr

    5.0 Mounting the VTR VTR4 VTR6 The VTR has 4 off M8 mounting studs. These should be fitted to the VTR optional mounting bracket, or through 9.0mm diameter holes in the user’s infrastructure and fastened with nuts that are tightened to a maximum of 15Nm. If larger diameter holes, or a higher torque is used, then there is a risk of damaging the VTR.
  • Page 13 5.1 Heatsinking The approximate heat dissipation of the VTR can be calculated as follows: HD = (36 x BR x PW x TF) + 2 Where: Heat dissipation(W) Brightness of the light output (%) Strobe pule width(seconds) Maximum trigger frequency(Hz) Without any heatsinking, the internal temperature of the VTR4 rises 0.45°C per Watt of heat dissipation, and the internal temperature of the VTR6 rises 0.40°C per Watt of heat dissipation.

  • Page 15 The use of a regulated power supply with 100% short circuit protection is recommended. If, however a non-regulated power supply is used, then the maximum ripple voltage of this power supply must not exceed 10% of the actual DC value. The low voltage and AC mains wiring should be routed separately.
  • Page 16 6.2 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 17 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. The maximum current must be limited to an absolute maximum of 50mA by the external circuit. The forward voltage is less than 2V.

  • Page 18: General Description

    7.0 General Description The VTR 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 19 7.3 Switched Output Switched mode uses the trigger input to switch the output on or off using the timing of the trigger signal. The output brightness can be varied from 0% to 100%. The VTR applies the same duty cycle and pulse width limits as for pulse mode, to prevent the light being damaged.
  • Page 20 7.7 Factory Settings The default VTR configuration for the light output and trigger output are: • Pulse operation • 1ms pulse width • 0.02ms delay • 100% intensity • 30ms retrigger delay The configuration can be cleared to the default settings, by sending the CL command.

  • Page 21: Ethernet Address (Ethernet Versions Only)

    8.0 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 VTR. 8.1 Connection The Ethernet link uses a 10 base-T connection on an RJ45 connector. The VTR is usually connected to a network switch (or hub or router).
  • Page 22 8.2.1 Programmed IP Address and DHCP For DHCP mode, the VTR acquires its IP address, subnet mask and gateway address from a DHCP server. Otherwise the VTR 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.raytecled.com.

  • Page 23: Webpage Configuration (Ethernet Versions Only)

    9.0 Webpage Configuration (ethernet versions only) The VTR 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 VTR must be known (see Section 8, ‘Ethernet Address’) Open a web browser window and type the IP address (for example 192.168.1.71) of the VTR into the URL box at the top.
  • Page 24 9.2 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. Also, any Ethernet command from Section 10 ‘Configuration Commands’ can be entered. 'Test Mode' referred to on this page is the internal trigger timer. An example of the general setup page is shown below: 9.3 Light Output Configuration Page This page allows the parameters for the light to be set up.
  • Page 25 9.4 Trigger Output Configuration Page The internal trigger configuration page (shown below) allows you to set up the pulse parameters for the trigger output pulse.

  • Page 26: Configuration Commands

    10.0 Configuration Commands The VTR 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 27 10.3 General Commands 10.3.1 Report the version of firmware running in the VTR This command returns the firmware version. For example: VR returns: VTR4 (HW001) V001 10.3.2 Set switched mode The output is set to switched mode at a percentage of full brightness. RW1,s Where: s = setting in percent (s = 0 to 100)
  • Page 28 10.3.5 Set Internal Trigger Enable or disable the internal trigger. When enabled, all outputs are triggered simultaneously using an internal trigger signal. This setting can be saved to non- volatile memory using the AW command. Disable internal trigger Enable internal trigger (uses previously set period) TT1,p Enable internal trigger and set the period Where: P = period of the triggers in milliseconds...
  • Page 29 10.3.8 Report the configuration Reports all the channel settings. Typical output is: CH 1, MD 1, S 100.0 DL 10us, PU 1.000ms, RT 1.020ms, IP1,FL0, CS0.000A, RA24V CH 2, MD 1, S 100.0 DL 10us, PU 1.000ms, RT 1.020ms, IP1,FL0, CS0.000A, RA36V Where the numeric values are: Channel number.
  • Page 30 10.3.9 Simulate an Input Trigger Simulates a trigger pulse. If the channel is in pulse mode it emits a single pulse. 10.3.10 Enable Ethernet Messages Where: m = 0 to disable Ethernet messages m = 1 to enable Ethernet messages When Ethernet messages are enabled, any error reports are sent to the most recent UDP or TCP address from which a command has been received.
  • Page 31 10.3.13 Report internal temperatures Each of the two internal LED PCBs has a temperature sensor, and the AT command reports a string with the following format: TM 18C 19C [=19C] [.21C19C] 50C 70C [100%] In this example: Reports the measured temperature of the two LED PCBs. [=19C] Reports the average measured temperature of 19°C.
