2.0 DESCRIPTION  
Pan/tilts in the PT550P Series are designed to remotely position a TV camera in  
both the horizontal and vertical attitudes. Pan (horizontal) and tilt (vertical) move-  
ments are caused by activating small DC motors in the pan/tilt unit. All Pelco units  
are equipped with adjustable limits for both pan and tilt, and all motors are equipped  
with electrical filtering circuits to suppress RF interference.  
The drive motors employ a permanent magnet type of field. The voltages applied  
to the armature can be varied in magnitude to change motor speed and are re-  
versed in polarity to change the direction of movement.  
Braking is accomplished by electrically short-circuiting the motor armature. During  
normal operation, dynamic braking is accomplished in the control unit by short-  
circuiting both sides of the armature to the supply common. When a pre-adjusted  
limit is encountered during operation, limit switches remove the driving voltage and  
apply a short circuit to the motor armature.

3.0 INSTALLATION  
Pan/tilts in the PT550P Series are designed to mount onto a horizontal surface in  
the upright or inverted position.  
CAUTION: Pan/tilts in  
the PT550P Series are  
designed for upright or in-  
verted operation and  
should never be mounted  
horizontally.  
In order to ensure proper wiring and system operation of all components, it is rec-  
ommended that you test the pan/tilt and the associated control equipment in your  
facility before field installation. Refer to Sections 3.3 through 3.4.  
3.1 MOUNTING  
Attach the pan/tilt unit to a mount, following the instructions that accompany the  
mount.To ensure maximum pan travel, mount the pan/tilt so that the fixed limit stop  
is directly opposite the center of the intended viewing area.  
NOTE: When mounting the pan/  
tilt outdoors in the inverted position  
(base up), RTV silicone sealant,  
such as Dow Corning Type 732 or  
equivalent, should be applied to the  
areas indicated in Figure 1.  
Make sure the mounting surface and the mounting method is strong enough to sup-  
port four times the combined weight of the pan/tilt, enclosure, camera and lens.  
3.2 CAMERA/ENCLOSURE MOUNTING  
Attach the enclosure, camera and lens to the pan/tilt unit with 1/4-20 hardware (not  
supplied).The enclosure, camera and lens must be correctly mounted and balanced  
on the tilt table for proper operation.  
3.3 WIRING  
Cable distances for pan and tilt motors should not exceed the distances speci-  
fied in Table A. Cable fabrication must be in accordance with Section 3.3.1, Mat-  
ing Connector Assembly. The following are some recommended common instal-  
lation practices.  
1. Always use jacketed stranded multi-conductor interconnecting cable between  
the control and the pan/tilt unit, with additional conductors than needed for  
future servicing and or additions.  
2. Always use color-coded conductors for ease of wiring and to identify functions  
at a later date.  
3. Keep a wiring diagram with the system for later use and reference.

3.3.1 Mating Connector Assembly  
To assemble the mating connectors, refer to Figure 2 and perform the following steps.  
NOTE: Contacts cannot be re-  
moved from the connector without  
the use of the appropriate AMP ex-  
traction tool (ZT305183), which is  
available from Pelco.  
The instructions that follow apply to all AMP style connectors regardless of pin size  
or pin number.  
1. Slide the connector clamp assembly over the conductor cable. If the diameter  
of the conductor cable is such that the rubber boot will slide over it easily, slide  
the rubber boot onto the conductor cable at this time. If not, discard the rubber  
boot.  
NOTE: When a pan/tilt is mounted  
in the inverted position, the LEFT/  
RIGHT and UP/DOWN functions  
are reversed during operation. To  
correct this problem, reverse the  
LEFT/RIGHT functions in the con-  
trol cable (pins 3 and 7) at the pan/  
tilt or control and the UP/DOWN  
functions (pins 5 and 6) at the pan/  
tilt or control.  
2. Refer to Detail A in Figure 2. Prepare the wires from the conductor cable as  
follows:  
a. Strip at least 1-inch (2.54 cm) from the cable jacket to expose the wires.  
You may need to strip more from the cable jacket if you have more wires.  
b. Strip 1/8-inch (0.125 cm) from each wire.  
c. Using an AMP style crimper, crimp the wires and their insulation to the  
connector pins.  
3. Slide the connector pins into the appropriate holes in the connector body until  
they snap into place. Refer to detail B in Figure 2 and to Figure 3 or 4 for  
correct pin arrangement, depending on model and options.  
4. Push the connector clamp assembly (with boot, if used) toward the connector  
body. Screw the clamp assembly onto the connector body, being careful not to  
disturb the wires.  
5. To complete the assembly, attach the appropriate clamp with the screws pro-  
vided and tighten.

sonal injury or damage  
to the unit may result.  
2. Turn the control unit on. Pan the unit to the right until the desired right pan limit  
is reached.  
3. Move the right pan limit stop until it touches the pan limit switch actuator. Move  
the stop a slight distance further against the actuator until it clicks to indicate  
the opening of the limit switch. Lock the stop in place.  
Do not remove or reposition the  
fixed limit stop on the pan/tilt.  
DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.  
4. Pan the unit to the desired left position. Adjust the left pan limit stop as de-  
scribed in step 3.  
5. Pan left and right to both limit stops and check for exact positioning. Tighten  
both stops securely.  
6. Remove the cover plate from the left side of the tilt table. Loosen the limit stop  
screws and tilt the table, using the joystick, to the desired up position.  
7. Move the up limit stop until it touches the tilt limit switch actuator and clicks.  
Lock the stop in place.  
8. Tilt the table to the desired down position and set the stop in the same manner.

5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING  
Some common problems encountered with pan/tilt systems include miswiring, over-  
loading, and not using the units for the correct application. If the pan/tilt unit fails to  
operate, do the following:  
1. Check the fuse in the control unit. If the fuse is bad, replace it.  
2. If the fuse blows after replacing it, check the control cable between the control  
unit and the pan/tilt for shorts, high resistance, or opens.  
3. If the control cable is good, reconnect it to the control unit but not to the pan/  
tilt. Replace the fuse and operate the control unit. If the fuse blows again, the  
fault is in the control.  
Refer to Figure 3 or 4 for the following steps.  
4. If the control unit is good, check the wiring harness in the pan/tilt for shorts.  
5. If the wiring harness is good, the problem is internal to the unit; consult the  
factory.  
5.1 SERVICE MANUAL

6.0 MAINTENANCE  
Inspect the pan/tilt unit every six months to ensure trouble-free operation and an  
extended product life. Harsh environments and/or continuous motion applications  
may require more frequent maintenance.  
Please read all of the instructions that follow before servicing the pan/tilt.  
To begin, remove the three screws on the front of the pan/tilt housing and lift the  
cover to gain access to the pan and tilt motor assemblies.  
6.1 TIGHTENING DRIVE CHAINS  
Check the pan and tilt drive chains for tension. A movement of 1/32 of an inch to 3/32  
of an inch in the chains is acceptable. If the movement of a chain exceeds 3/32 of an  
inch, adjust the chain as follows:  
1. Loosen the screws securing the motor to the mounting frame.  
2. Pry on the motor to apply tension to the chain. Do not over-tension the drive  
chain.  
3. Keep tension on the chain while tightening the screws.  
6.2 CHAIN DRIVE LUBRICATION  
Sprockets, chains, and gears should be well greased. If necessary, lubricate the  
pan and tilt gears, sprockets, and chains as follows with a high-quality grease ca-  
pable of withstanding temperatures from -50° to 170°F (-46° to 77°C). Do the fol-  
lowing:  
1. Liberally apply grease to the pan and tilt gears, chains, and sprockets (refer to  
Figure 6).  
2. Operate the pan and tilt motors to spread the grease across the parts.  
3. Apply additional grease if necessary.  
4. Reinstall the cover. If the pan/tilt is installed outdoors in an inverted position,  
apply RTV silicone sealant as shown in Figure 1.
