INTRODUCTION
The PTZ-35x140™ is a versatile, dual field of view thermal and visible imaging system that
provides a high resolution thermal image with a 5° view nested inside a wider 20° view. This image
presentation concept derived from human vision offers excellent situational awareness and long
range threat detection, simultaneously. This advanced payload is packaged in a precision pan/tilt
enclosure that will slew up to 120° per second. The system supports stand-alone or network
operation with a Nexus® interface.
The PTZ-35x140™ incorporates the latest in visible and uncooled thermal imager performance with
both IP networked control and video connectivity for installation into sophisticated emerging
security infrastructures and serial and analog connectivity for current widely proliferated
infrastructures. The Foveus™ thermal imagery is provided as continually zoomed video from 20°
horizontal field of view to less than 1 degree horizontal field of view. The thermal imagery is
presented in a novel blending of two thermal images to provide high resolution in the critical 5°
center area while simultaneously providing medium resolution in the 20° situational awareness zone.
This presentation is an application of the design of the human eye, with the foveal region of the
retina employing higher density detectors than the peripheral area, thus the moniker Foveus™.

QUICK-START INFORMATION
The following instructions will get you started with basic operation of the PTZ-35x140™ with
Foveus™.
1. Firmly secure camera using mounting pattern shown below to a designated frame or
structure able to support and allow for device travel.
2. Connect System Cable into camera base shown above. Then attach the other end of the
sealed System Cable to the break-out pigtail.
3. If using the video output then plug a standard BNC cable to the connection labeled
“VIDEO P2” on the break-out pigtail.
4. If you intend to use the PELCO-D Interface for remote control of the device attach a
standard DB9 RS-422 cable to the connection labeled “USER P3” on the break-out pigtail.
Connect the other end of the RS-422 cable to an available port on remote control device
such as a KBD300. (Be sure to note that the pin settings are from the camera and must be
swapped on the controller device!) Pin settings are shown here below:
RS-422 DB9 Pin or “USER P3”
COM 1 Tx A (-) Signal OUT Pin 2
COM 1 Rx B (+) Signal IN Pin 3
COM GND Pin 5
COM 1 Tx B (+) Signal OUT Pin 7
COM 1 Rx A (-) Signal IN Pin 8

5. If you intend to use the Nexus® Console Software for both the remote control of the device
and video streaming attach a standard CAT5 cable to the connection labeled “ETHERNET
P5” on the break-out pigtail. Connect the other end to your PC.
6. Plug in either 24+/-10% VAC rms (50/60Hz) or 24+/-10% VDC directly to the connections
labeled “PTPWR” and “SYSPWR” on the break-out pigtail.
7. If purchased the Pelco WCS4-20 Master Power Supply will connect directly via
connections labeled “PTPWR” and “SYSPWR” on the break-out pigtail to the converter.
Connect the black leads to COM and the red leads to 24V. Next, adjust the AC Input
switch to either 115VAC (standard for US) or 230VAC (standard for Europe) and apply
power to the Pelco converter.
8. Now the PTZ-35x140™ is ready for use. Note that the device will immediately zero itself
and return back to home position upon applying power.
PELCO-DINTERFACE
The PTZ-35x140™ accommodates control via RS422. The command protocol for serial control
shall be via PELCO-D commands including the following minimum control set:
