10. Connect the AXB-EM232 AXlink connector to the rear of the AXB-EM232.
11. Plug in the PSN6.5, PS2.8, and CMA-D2 power supplies to their respective outlets.
12. Press and hold the SETUP button (located on the rear of the AXB-PT10 beneath a protective
cover) for three seconds to exercise each control axis (pan/tilt), and to verify correct
installation.
Do not move the joystick or the focus wheel while the AXP-PLV is displaying its initialization
page. Self-calibration is in progress.
13. Allow the AXP-PLV touch panel software approximately 20 seconds for initialization and self-
calibration before beginning use.

Suggested Wire Types For Custom Cables

AXlink is a control network that uses four wires to carry data and power to all remote devices in the
system. Two wires carry a balanced-line data signal; the other two provide ground and +12 VDC
power. Large distributed systems that use long AXlink runs with a maximum of 3,000 feet
(914.4 m) should use low-capacitance (12-14 pF/ft) shielded twisted pair cable.

If you find that the included 100' (30.48 m) AXlink cables are not long enough for your application,
use the wire types suggested below to make custom cables.

AXlink - (local-area, low-power requirement)

22/24 AWG 4-conductor cables can be used for short wiring runs.
!
!

AXlink - (local-area, high-power requirement)

Large systems that power many bus controllers or touch panels should use a heavier gauge wire to
handle DC power.

PT10-ADD Additional Camera Pan/Tilt System
Select the video input for camera one by pressing the Camera Station 1 pushbutton
located on the right side of the AXP-PLV touch panel.
Select the video input for camera two by pressing the Camera Station 2 pushbutton
located on the right side of the AXP-PLV touch panel.
The length of an AXlink wire run is equal to the total length of wire used; a star run made
of one 300' section and six 50' sections equals one 600' AXlink line.
AXlink data lines (AXM and AXP) are designed for balance-line operation; wire the data
lines in the same twisted pair.
Use a shielded cable for best results, both to reduce electronic interference radiated by
adjacent wiring and to eliminate noise from AXlink cabling to adjacent audio cabling.
Level 3, 4, or 5 unshielded, twisted pair
Belden 8102, 2 twisted pair, 1 shield 12 pF/ft, PVC and plenum cable available.
Liberty Wire and Cable AMX-2S22218 AXlink Cable, 1 shielded, twisted pair 22 AWG,
12.5 pF/ft, two 18 AWG, PVC and plenum cable available.
