The PosiTrack Controller receives all power from the +12 VDC and GND connections on the four-
pin AXlink connector.
When applying power to the AXB-PT10/15, adjust the soft-set pan/tilt limit stops to a
safe position to prevent camera or PosiTrack damage.

Wiring Guidelines

In most installations, the PosiTrack Controllers require local +12 VDC power to operate properly.
The maximum wiring distance between the power supply and the PosiTrack Controller is
determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The
following wiring table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable between the PosiTrack
units and the power supply. The maximum wiring lengths are based on a minimum of 13.5 VDC,
available at the power supply output.
The AXB-PT10 power rating is 2.6 A @ 12 VDC.
The AXB-PT15 power rating is 4 A @ 12 VDC.
The AXB-PT30 power rating is 6 A @ 12 VDC.
To reduce the possible effects of ground loop noise in the video, use a single-source power supply
mounted within distances specified in the following table.
