Quick Reference Guide

VCL Orbiter Gold/Lite

1. Introduction

This guide provided by Maxey Moverley Limited contains programming instructions to aid onsite
engineers in tackling common problems when installing Orbiter Gold/Lite cameras.

This information has been compiled from publicly available documentation in conjunction with the
observations of Maxey Moverley Limited.

2. Installation

2.1 Ceiling and Wall Mounted Models

Figure 1. Below, details the ceiling and wall mount brackets, including dimensions.

Step 1

Attach the bracket (wall or ceiling type) using fixings which are appropriate for the surface and able
to support the weight of the Orbiter Gold/Lite (1.1kg) as shown in Figure 2.

Step 2

Align the lug on the Orbiter Gold/Lite with the slot on the bracket. Carefully push the Orbiter
Gold/Lite into the bracket and twist clockwise. Allow to drop into the retainer, see Figure 2.

Step 3

Fit the M3 CSK safety locking screw into the bracket to lock the Orbiter Gold/Lite in place. This is
ESSENTIAL for the safe operation of the Orbiter Gold/Lite. (The hole for the screw is on the opposite
side of the pole to the slot.)

Step 4

Attach the cable cover. This is supplied in two halves which snap together over the neck of the
Orbiter Gold/Lite as shown in Figure 4, below.

3. Setting up the Orbiter Gold/Lite

3.1 Wiring Details

The Orbiter Gold/Lite is designed for speed of installation and set up and so the wall and ceiling
mount brackets are supplied pre wired. Customer wiring is via an internal terminal block PCB which
is located inside the base plastic cover.

Note: The terminal block is accessed by removing the two M3 CSK head screws, using appropriate
tool.

LED D17 will illuminate if the receiver that is being controlled by Coax telemetry is selected by the
transmitter and the coax telemetry is satisfactory. If the receiver is being controlled by twisted pair
telemetry, LED D17 will flash whenever a valid telemetry command is received.

VR1 (LIFT) and VR2 (GAIN) are factory set. They are designed to improve the picture quality
transmitted by the Orbiter Gold/Lite when long cable runs are involved and a degradation of picture
quality occurs. Before adjusting either the LIFT or GAIN, ensure that the iris is correctly adjusted.

If the image is ‘smearing’ due to a long cable run, then the LIFT pot may be adjusted to sharpen the
image. If the contrast of the image is low, (caused by an attenuated video signal), make adjustments
by turning the GAIN pot.

Note. Over adjustments of either the GAIN or the LIFT pot will result in further image quality
degradation.

5. Address Settings

The addresses for each Orbiter Gold/Lite are set as shown in the table below. Set the poles on
DILSW2 to the desired position for each address.

6. Coax Telemetry

Coax telemetry Orbiter Gold/Lites do not require an address setting, therefore the settings of
positions 1-7 on DILSW2 are ignored. Position 8 controls the alarm feature.

7. Alarm Settings

Switch 8 of the 8 way DIL switch DILSW2 is used to toggle the Orbiter Gold/Lites alarm setting. When
the switch is ‘ON’ the Orbiter Gold/Lites alarm inputs are enabled and set to the default settings as
shown in the table below. If switch 8 is ‘OFF’ then the alarms are not automatically enabled, but can
be enabled and adjusted using a MaxCom with local alarm menus.
