SECTION I GENERAL INFORMATION

Scope

This manual provides information expected to be used in installing, adjusting, and operating the EXO HD GeminEye™ System.

CAUTION: READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE CONNECTING POWER TO THE UNIT. INJURY TO PERSONS, AND DAMAGE TO THE UNIT OR
ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT CAN OCCUR IF THE UNIT IS NOT USED PROPERLY.

Purpose of the Equipment

This device is to be used to provide azimuth and elevation positioning for one HD daylight camera, and if desired an optional thermal camera. Other congurations include
a HD daylight camera and Illuminator. Remote control of position, and camera functions are possible with this system.

The modular camera(s) may be positioned to any degree of azimuth within a continuous 360 degree circle. The camera elevation can be moved to any angle from horizontal
to approximately ±90 degrees. Hard mechanical limit stops are factory set to approximately ±95 degrees. Software adjustable limits (soft limits) are factory set to ± 90°.

Description of Equipment

The EXO HD GeminEye is designed to be operated by Internet Protocol (IP) control, and each EXO camera housing contains a IP Video Encoder. The video encoder has two
functions:

• Convert the video signal to a streaming signal that can pass over the internet to the user, allowing them to see the video image.

• Provide a separate control channel that will allow control of GeminEye.

Single camera models will have one active IP connection to the GeminEye while dual camera models will have two. The GeminEye HD visible camera video is fed to the
video encoder, which in turn streams video through the IP connection. Control communication to the GeminEye passes through the IP connection to the video encoder
housed in the camera housing, and is then sent to the positioner's main control microprocessor to provide the user control of the positioner. In models with both a visible
and thermal camera, either channel can be used to operate and move the GeminEye. GeminEye will respond to Moog commands as outlined in the "PTL-11 Protocol"
document, or to specic Pelco® commands, as outlined in the protocol document MN00177, included on the CD-ROM accompanying the product. All control command
must be wrapped with IP.

The HD GeminEye is constructed primarily of aluminum, is approximately 7.25" (184.15 mm) high by 10.5" (266.70 mm) deep by 14.25" (361.95 mm) wide, and weighs
approximately 24 lbs. (10.89 kg) with dual cameras. Its general conguration and major dimensions are shown in Drawing 1 in Appendix II.

No access is needed inside the positioner. There is no requirement for lubrication or periodic inspection.
A quick release system allows removing the camera housing(s) for quick replacement with "plug & play" capability. The camera housings as shipped are pressurized with
5 psi (max.) of dry nitrogen to prevent condensation.

The pan & tilt housing encloses the pan and tilt motors, belt drive assemblies, azimuth slip-ring, tilt hard limit stops, pan & tilt position optical position sensor assemblies,
power supply board, and a microprocessor control board. The power supply board supplies power for the camera(s), and raw input power (unconditioned 10 - 30 VDC)
input is sent to the camera enclosure(s) for the heaters. The camera housing assembly consists of a front glass window assembly (daylight camera), connectors/cables
for connecting camera, a camera interface board, & heater(s). The camera interface board decodes the universal serial buss commands and converts them to the specic
camera commands required for the specic camera. Each camera module contains a video encoder, which has channels for video and control. The video from each module
is streamed separately, allowing both to be visible at the same time. The control channels from both encoders are wired directly to the main controller PCB in the positioner
section. This board processes incoming commands, performs and manages pan & tilt functions, and routes camera commands to the camera(s) via a universal serial buss.
(In some models, camera commands are sent directly from the video encoder to the camera) The camera commands include camera/lens control where applicable.

Power and control signals enter the unit through a water tight connector exiting out the bottom of the unit. The mil spec mating connector and test cable are supplied.

The equipment uses o-ring seals and gaskets for the camera enclosure and pan & tilt housing to provide environmental protection. The camera housings are sealed and
should be pressurized with dry nitrogen at no more than 5 psi.

Models

All models consist of a LT-EXHDO1 center section positioner for single and dual camera models, or a LT-EXHD02 center section positioner for specic illuminator models.

Visible camera block available include models using the Sony FCB-EH6500 HD color camera, and the Sony FCB-EH6300 HD color camera.

Thermal vision blocks are available using the FLIR Tau 640 imager or the FLIR Tau 320 imager each with a variety of lenses ranging from 25mm to 100mm xed lenses,
and a 15mm to 100mm continuous zoom lens. Normal and slow frame rate version availability is subject to ITAR regulations.

EXO GeminEye models are also available with visible cameras and illuminators, where additional illumination may be required to enhance the image during low
light conditions.

reviewed in the following sections.

Unpack and Inspect:

Carefully remove the unit from the carton and examine for signs of physical damage, particularly dented or broken parts. If any are observed, notify the freight carrier im­mediately for claim handling. Retain all packing material until claim is settled.

Check the box contents for (1) Integrated Camera System, (1) mating connector, (1) test cable, (1) basic test software/manuals CD00556, and (1) system schematic. If any
of the above components are missing, please contact Moog immediately, and please have your sales order number available. Claims for missing components must be led
within a reasonable time period from receipt. Retain packing box if future shipping or storage is expected.

Installation:

GENERAL:

To achieve optimum and safe results from this unit, proper installation procedures should be followed as described in section "B"; primarily these have to do with the Pan
& Tilt location and settings of the limit stops. These items are reviewed in the following paragraphs.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES - MECHANICAL:

Site Location

Select a mounting location that will provide the desired maximum movement angles without allowing the pan and tilt or camera enclosure to come in contact with, or strike,
any objects in their sweep paths. Adjustable soft limits should be set to limit the degree of travel in tilt, (soft limits are set in software). Refer to the drawings below to see
the dimensions of the EXO product. Dimensions shown in brackets are metric [millimeters] while other dimensions are in inches.

Figure 1:

Standard EXO Visible /
Thermal camera version.

with Zoom lens version.

Mounting

The mounting base is drilled with four holes on a 4.75" diameter bolt circle in a 4.0" square base, sized for 1/4" screws. If mounted in a position other than horizontal, the
payload capacity may be reduced. Fasten the base to a stable platform. We recommend 1/4-20" high strength stainless steel bolts and nuts be used. Consideration of wind
and ice load is important when calculating how solid the mounting platform needs to be and the strength required in the mounting screws.

Figure 3:

Base mounting dimensions.
Dimensions shown in brackets
are metric [millimeters] while other
dimensions are in inches.

A selection of QuickSet Mounts are available for wall, pedestal, corner, and pole mounting. When used with the QuickSet wall mount bracket, these provide adequate
clearance for a full 360 degree continuous pan rotation with no interference. Contact your regional Business Development manager for information regarding these
components.

Internal Access

Access to the interior of the pan & tilt housing is not required.

Setting of Pan & Tilt Soft Limit Stops

The tilt soft (software settable) limit is factory set at ±90 degrees. They can be adjusted to values less than the ±90 degree range. There is no pan soft limit in continuous
mode, but there are user adjustable soft limits in the non-continuous rotation mode, when using the Moog PTZ controller. Refer to MN00307.

MN00178 1359

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES – ELECTRICAL:

General Comments

The interface cable between the computer and integrated camera system is important to the reliable operation of any motorized instrument positioning system. Selection
of the type of cable, the size (AWG), the number of conductors required, grounding techniques, special consideration for wiring to the devices mounted on the pan/tilt unit,
plug connections and the pan/tilt options are the topics covered in this Section.

Wire Selection

Careful consideration should be given to the type of cable utilized in order to achieve long-term reliability and avoid costly system modications. The type of cable instal­lation, such as, underground, overhead, pole mounted generally requires cable designed for the specic application. In addition, the wire may have to be run in conduit.
Check your local electrical code. Adequate wire size insures that sufcient voltage will reach the pan/tilt motors, which will provide the required torque to move the camera.
One factor that inuence the wire size is the distance between the power supply and the pan/tilt unit. The current draw is approximately 5.625 amps (135 W @ 24VDC)
with a dual camera system. Size the connecting wires to minimize voltage drop to the positioner based on distance from the power source.

Mating Connector Installations

Pan / Tilt Site - A mating connector is provided. Carefully solder the cable leads to the Pan / Tilt mating receptacle pins. Refer to the appropriate schematic and / or
connector diagram.

INSTALLING / UNINSTALLING CAMERA ASSEMBLY

The GeminEye system should have arrived with the camera systems installed. In the event that a camera system must be removed or reinstalled, please follow these instructions:

To detach a camera module:

1. Turn off power to the system.

2. Remove the locking screw at the rear of the camera module on the stainless steel plate. The screw has a 1/4" head.

3. Slide the stainless steel locking plate toward the rear.

4. Separate the camera from the positioner by gently pulling outward. Use caution to not pull on the connector once the module pulls away.

5. Disconnect the electrical cable by turning the connector sleeve counter clockwise.

To attach the camera module to the GeminEye, reverse the above process:

1. Turn off power, then connect camera cable to mating plug in camera module.

2. Stainless steel locking plate must be retracted in direction shown.

3. Camera module is oriented for the hole in the locking plate to line up with the hole in the camera module. Apply pressure to compress the sealing gasket by
pressing the camera housing toward the GeminEye center section. Engage the locking plate by sliding toward the pivot axis of the camera housing. Install
retaining screw at rear of locking plate.

4. For daylight cameras, clean front window glass before installing GeminEye system.

5. Test total camera, lens, positioner functions before installing on mount.

INTERNAL ACCESS & ADJUSTMENT

SECTION III THEORY OF OPERATION

General:

This manual provides information expected to be used in installing, adjusting, and operating the EXO HD GeminEye™ System.

OVERVIEW

The EXO GeminEye system is fundamentally different than previous GeminEye models in that it provides streaming video and control through an IP connection. Unlike
previous models, there is no serial communication method, and there are no analog video outputs.

Each camera housing has a video server, also known as an encoder, which converts the video directly from the camera to streaming internet video. The two RJ45 IP con­nectors on the cable are connected directly to the encoder, and provide the pathway for both video and control. The video for the visible camera is on the cable labeled
"Camera 1", and the video for the thermal camera (if equipped) is on "Camera 2". Both encoders in a two camera GeminEye have a separate control signal path to control
and position the GeminEye, and either encoder can control and position the unit.

The center section camera positioning system consists of stepper motors with their respective motor drivers controlled by a power supply and logic circuit boards. The unit
is powered by 10 to 30 VDC. Control communication from the encoders is processed on the logic circuit board, providing control and status information on the command
signal. Also connected to the control board are two positions sensing optical boards (one for the pan axis of motion, and one for tilt); these are referenced during a power
up condition to determine position of the system. During the power up cycle, the GeminEye will move to determine its position, and once the sensors are read, the unit will
return to the centered position.

LOGIC CONTROL BOARD

The logic control board is located inside the pan & tilt cabinet in the front heat sink. The control board processes all communication, and position information.

OPTO POSITION DETECTORS

There are 2 detection circuits used for detecting position and dynamic re-calibration. The pan uses a 4 channel optical system to read absolute sector position (16 sectors
of 22.5 degrees) and 17 transition points of pan movement. These are encoded using reected binary code for absolute sector position. The tilt uses a 2 channel optical
system to read absolute sector position (4 sectors of 45 degrees) and 3 transition points. The positioner recalibrates "on the y" when moving "right" and "down" directions.

The system counts motor pulses to the stepper motors to dene position. Each micro step is equal to 0.01 degrees of movement in both the pan and tilt axis. These are
readout in 0.01º increments. If for any reason, the system is stalled during motion; the microcontroller will know what sector the system is in and will recalibrate the system
if sufciently out of calibration.

DRIVE SYSTEM

The drive system consists of:

• Two 0.9º stepper motors, each driven by a 16x micro step motor driver.

• A high torque timing belt drive system with a 5.625:1 mechanical reduction ratio

• The motor drivers generate a holding current which holds the motors in position when they are not being commanded to move.

• The dual camera system uses 3 ball bearings, 3 thrust bearings, 3 rotary seals, 2 timing belts, and drive pulleys.

• The stepper motor drive circuits divide each 0.9º step of the motor into 16 microsteps, providing for very ne motion control, with each microstep equating
to 0.01 degree of movement. The QuickShift® technology introduces an additional division of speed, changing the speed range for pan and tilt independently.
This allows a very wide dynamic range of speeds from fast to extremely slow movements.

COMMUNICATIONS & CONTROL BOARD

All communication to the EXO GeminEye model is through a Moog Video encoder, which is an IP connection only. There is one video encoder for each camera module, and
either can provide motion control of the positioner.

MN00178 1359

SECTION IV TEST SOFTWARE

SOFTWARE SETUP

Moog Conguration Tool

By factory default, the Moog EXO Camera is congured in DHCP. If you are not using a DHCP server it will automatically allocate itself an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Ad­dressing) address in the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.

Initial device network conguration is done via the Moog Discovery Tool (MDT), a tool provided by Moog that can be found on the company’s web site and on the CD-ROM
or ash drive supplied with each camera system. The ash drive also contains a copy of Microsoft Silverlight 5. Both programs should be installed on the local server.

The MDT plays 3 important roles:

1. Discovery of all Moog EXO Cameras

2. Allows for remote conguration of the IP address and subnet mask

3. Permits batch rmware upgrade of all common EXO devices

Note: Silverlight is a free plug in and is required to interface with the Moog EXO Web brower. Once your device is installed on your network and powered up, launch MDT
from any computer on the network and the following window will be displayed:

The MDT supports 2 ways to discover a device. The rst way doesn’t need any conguration and uses the Bonjour discovery protocol. In order to be able to discover a device
via Bonjour, the network must support multicast delivery.

If it is not the case, you can use the second way, which is the Unicast Discovery. The Unicast Discovery can be congured by using the “Unicast Discovery” conguration
form. This conguration form is available via the Admin / Unicast Discovery menu option.

By factory default, the Moog EXO GeminEye™ system is congured in DHCP. If you are not using a DHCP server it will automatically allocate itself an APIPA (Automatic
Private IP Addressing) address in the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.

Initial device network conguration is done via the Moog Conguration Tool (MCT), a tool provided by Moog supplied on a CD-ROM that accompanied the product with each
GeminEye system, and that can be found on the company’s web site.

The MCT plays 3 important roles:

1. Discovery of all Moog EXO GeminEye systems and EXO Cameras

2. Allows for remote conguration of the IP address and subnet mask

3. Permits batch rmware upgrade of all common EXO devices

Once your device is installed on your network and powered up, launch MCT from any computer on the network and the following window will be displayed:

The MCT supports 2 ways to discover a
device. The rst way doesn’t need any
conguration and uses the Bonjour
discovery protocol. In order to be able to
discover a device via Bonjour, the network
must support multicast delivery.

If it is not the case, you can use the
second way, which is the Unicast
Discovery. The Unicast Discovery can be
congured by using the “Unicast Discovery”
conguration form. This conguration form
is available via the Admin / Unicast
Discovery menu option.
