Pan Characteristics; Setting The Adjustable Pan-Limit Stops; Tilt Characteristics; Setting The Adjustable Tilt-Limit Stops - AMX PTE-300 Operation/Reference Manual

Pan Characteristics

The pan drive has a maximum pan range of ± 177° (354° total). Pan travel is capable of being limited to
a restricted range around the center of pan travel by software limits adjustable by the programmer/end
user. Pan limits refer to the horizontal range of motion available to the PTE-300. These limits are set via
the NetLinx program. The center position marks the center of the range.

Setting the Adjustable Pan-Limit Stops

The Central Controller should be programmed by an AMX NetLinx programmer before beginning.
Refer to the Specifications section on page 2 for more information on programming devices.
To set the adjustable pan-limit stops:
1. Mount the camera controller to the desired horizontal surface.
2. Pan the unit as far to the left as desired and enter this position into the NetLinx program as the left
pan-limit stop. The LEFT limit stop MUST be set at least 25 degrees left of the Home position.
3. Pan the unit as far to the right as desired and enter this position into the NetLinx program as the
right pan-limit stop. The RIGHT limit stop MUST be set at least 25 degrees right of the Home
position.
4. Pan to both programmed stop positions and ensure the pan-limit stops are set correctly.

Tilt Characteristics

The tilt drive is factory set to a maximum tilt range of ± 90° (for a total of 180° ). Tilt limit stops refer to
the vertical range of motion available to the PTE-300 and are set via the NetLinx program. The center
position marks the center of the range.

Setting the Adjustable Tilt-Limit Stops

The Central Controller should be programmed before beginning. Refer to theSpecifications section on
page 2 for more information on programming devices. To set the adjustable tilt-limit stops:
1. Ensure that there is enough slack in the lens, camera, and Ethernet cables to accommodate the full
range of tilt motion.
2. Mount the PTE-300 to the desired surface.
3. Tilt the unit as far up as desired and enter this position into the NetLinx program as the upper tilt-
limit stop. The UP limit stop MUST be set at least 25 degrees above the Home position.
4. Tilt the unit as far down as desired and enter this position into the NetLinx program as the lower tilt-
limit stop. The DOWN limit stop MUST be set at least 25 degrees below the Home position.
5. Tilt to both stop positions and ensure the tilt-limit stops are set correctly.
If you have problems setting the range of motion on the PTE-300, you may be setting both limits on the
same side of the Home position.
PTE-300 PosiTrack Ethernet Camera Controller
Ensure that the lens, camera, and PTE-300's Ethernet cables have enough slack to
accommodate the full range of pan motion.
Confirm that the necessary programming has been done to the system before beginning the
installation process.
