LITHIUM BATTERY CAUTION, Danger of explosion if the internal lithium battery
is replaced incorrectly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
battery manufacturer’s instructions.

The Lightning Flash With Arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle,
alerts the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock.

The Exclamation Point symbol, within an equilateral triangle, alerts the user to
the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
product literature and instruction manuals.

1.0 Scope

This manual contains information for the Telemetrics HP Servo Pan/Tilt Head Model
PT-HP-S4, Part No. 92 56156 000. This Pan/Tilt is designed for use with ENG and
smaller type cameras. Due to the different types of cameras and lenses the
Pan/Tilt interfaces with, many options are manufactured. Some of those options
are described in the following paragraphs. Please consult the factory for the
specific options available.

2.0 Introduction

The PT-HP-S4 is a robotic camera pan/tilt head with smooth variable operating
speed. Heavy duty cross roller bearings and swings motors with isolation mounts
provide quiet operation. The lens connector provides direct connection and
interface to lens functions. Lens interface options are also available. The Pan/Tilt
head is powered from the Rack Mount Power Supply PS-RM-48 and converts the
48V to appropriate voltage levels for the head, auxiliary robotics devices, camera,
lens and viewfinder.

The unit is controlled through serial data interface using RS-232 standard or RS­422 optional or 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet connections. Manual smooth motion is
accomplished using velocity servo controls. Two hundred and fifty five (255)
presets are available. Presets are called using shot convergence technology,
allowing for smooth motion like presets. An optional camera control feature is
available for certain cameras. It has Tally LED on front panel to indicate camera
“On Air”.

The PT-HP-S4 is typically controlled by a Telemetrics Rack Serial Control Panel
(CP-R-3A or CP-R-2A), Desktop Serial Control Panel (CP-D-3A or CP-D-2A) or
Remote Control Panel (RCP). Second party RS-232/422 control systems can also
be used to interface with the unit. Please consult factory for configuration
assistance. See Appendix A for Serial Protocol specifications.

4.0 System Cables

4.1 Power Cable

Power to the unit is made via interconnect cable CA-PWR-7XLR-XXX to the
7-pin XLR power connector located on the rear of the unit (Note: XXX=Feet).
The other end of interconnect cable connects to the external power supply.

Communication to the unit is made via serial data cable CA-RS to the 9 pin
serial data connector located on the rear of the unit. The other end of the
cable connects to the control panel. Units configured for RS-232 can have a
maximum distance of 100 feet between the unit and the control panel. Units
configured for RS-422 can have a maximum distance of 4000 feet between the
unit and the control panel. (Note: Units are set to accept either RS-232 or RS­422 at the factory. See Table 1 for proper DIP switch settings.)

4.3 Auxiliary Connections

Power and control of the Telemetrics Trolley and Televator units is
accomplished using the auxiliary connector on the pan/tilt. It is important to
remove power from the pan/tilt prior to connecting or disconnecting the
auxiliary cable. Damage may occur if the unit is powered when connecting or
disconnecting the cable. Note: Refer to Appendix for information on Aux Axis
Soft Limit configuration.

5.0 Camera Power & Camera Control

Telemetrics pan/tilt systems are capable of providing power and data to virtually all
manufacturers’ cameras. A Telemetrics power supply that includes a 15V module
for the camera must be used when camera power is required. In addition, the
Telemetrics control panel must be configured to accept the camera ROP to provide
camera control. See Table 3 for currently available accessory cables.
