Page 16: Balancing The Payload Horizontally On The Adjustable Camera Cradle
HP Servo Pan/Tilt Head Model PT-HP-S4 User’s Manual Balancing the Payload Horizontally on the Adjustable Camera Cradle After the payload is mounted on the adjustable camera cradle, you will likely notice that the payload is not horizontally balanced (it does not remain level when it is unsupported) because the horizontal center of gravity of the payload is not aligned with the horizontal center of rotation for the camera cradle (Figure 5). -
Page 17: Balancing The Payload Vertically On The Adjustable Camera Cradle
Installation and Setup Balancing the Payload Vertically on the Adjustable Camera Cradle After the payload is horizontally balanced, the vertical center of gravity of the payload must be aligned with the vertical center of rotation for the camera cradle (Figure 6). Rotate the payload clockwise until it is nearly upside-down (approximately 170 degrees from its horizontal operating position) and then determine which direction the payload rotates when it is unsupported:... -
Page 18: Measuring And Recording The Position Of The Balanced Payload
After the payload is balanced, the positioning of the payload must be measured before transferring the payload (and cradle, if the Model PT-HP-S4 Pan/Tilt Head adjustable camera cradle was used for balancing) to the same position on the Model PT-HP-S4 Pan/Tilt Head. Save these measurements for future reference. -
Page 19: Transferring The Payload To The Model Pt-Hp-S4 Pan/Tilt Head
Setup Transferring the Payload to the Model PT-HP-S4 Pan/Tilt Head If the Model PT-HP-S4 Pan/Tilt Head adjustable camera cradle was used for balancing, remove the cradle with the mounted payload from the Payload Balancing Assembly and mount it on the Model PT-HP-S4 Pan/Tilt Head. -
Page 20: Balancing The Payload Horizontally Using A Round Object
On the camera mount (or other convenient location), mark the position of the dowel or pen where horizontal balance is achieved. Mount the camera with its accessories on the Model PT-HP-S4 Pan/Tilt Head, aligning the mark you made in the previous step with the center of the camera mounting plate on the pan/tilt head. -
Page 21: Establishing Power And Communication To The Pan/Tilt Head
Connecting to an External Power Supply Power to the Model PT-HP-S4 is made with interconnect cable CA-PWR-7XLR-XXX (Figure 11) to the 7-pin XLR power connector that is located on the rear of the unit. The other end of interconnect cable connects to the external power supply. -

Page 26: Configuring Soft Limits For A Device On The Auxiliary Axis
Can be controlled with soft limits that stop the device smoothly before reaching the mechanical end stop at the limit of its travel. The soft limits are configured using Telemetrics Pan/Tilt Configuration Software installed on a personal computer. - Page 27 Installation and Setup Select the LIMITS tab to display the Limits window (Figure 17). Verify that SET WIN check box for the AUX-X and/or AUX-Y axes is empty (no check mark), indicating that soft limits for these axes are disabled. Carefully position the device at the center (zero) location of its Y-axis travel (elevation) or X-axis travel (track).

Page 35: Appendix
Appendix Serial Data Protocol Telemetrics provides for serial control of many of its camera control products. In this section, which describes the protocol that is used for serial control of these devices, the Telemetrics controlled device is referred to as the "controller" and the device commanding the head is referred to as the "host". - Page 36 HP Servo Pan/Tilt Head Model PT-HP-S4 User’s Manual The remainder of this section describes the general methods for serial camera control. Commands will be introduced as they are needed. Note that while examples are shown enclosed in single quotes, only the characters within the quotes are to be sent; the quotes are simply for clarity.

Page 37: Manual Camera Motion
Appendix Manual Camera Motion The procedure for manually moving a camera is to: Reset motion voltages with the 'R' command. Move the camera using 'P', 'T' "Z' and 'F' commands. The commands that are used are detailed in the following two sections. Camera Control Voltages Camera motion is controlled by four voltages corresponding to the velocity of pan, tilt, zoom and focus, which are set using the 'P', 'T', 'Z' and 'F’... -
Page 38: Preset Position Control
HP Servo Pan/Tilt Head Model PT-HP-S4 User’s Manual Preset Position Control There are 256 preset positions (numbered 0 to 255) that are available in the non-volatile memory of the controller. The information stored in a preset location does not include the camera to which the preset corresponds, and it is therefore up to the host application to select the proper camera to be used prior to preset operations. -
Page 39: Preset Recalling Commands
Appendix Preset Recalling Commands The ‘C’ command recalls the preset position stored in the preset number given as its parameter. As noted earlier in this document, once the controller begins a recall command, any control commands remaining on the command line are ignored. While the recall is in progress, the only character that will be acted upon is the <CAN>... -
