3.0 INSTALLATION
The PT573R and PT573-24R are designed to mount onto a horizontal surface in
the upright or inverted position.
CAUTION:The PT573R
and PT573-24R are de-
signed 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 3.5.
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. The
pan/tilt unit weighs 22 pounds (9.9 kg). Refer to the manuals for your enclosure,
camera, and lens for the weights of those units. The weight of the enclosure, cam-
era, and lens must not exceed 40 pounds (18.14 kg).
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 specified
in Table A. Cable fabrication must be in accordance with Section 3.3.1, Mating
Connector Assembly. The following are some recommended common installa-
tion 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 5 and 6) at the pan/
tilt or control and the UP/DOWN
functions (pins 2 and 3) 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 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.

adjust the scan duration to operate between two and nine seconds.
To adjust the frame scan duration:
1. Remove the three screws on the front of the pan/tilt housing and remove the
cover.
2. Turn on the control unit.
3. Activate the frame scan circuit. The unit should pan either left or right for four
seconds and then dwell for the same amount of time.
4. Adjust the scan duration by turning the potentiometer (mounted to the back of
the frame scan board) clockwise to decrease the time or counterclockwise to
increase the time (refer to Figure 5).
5. After the desired frame scan duration is set, deactivate the frame scan and
replace the pan/tilt cover.

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 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, check the motor starting capacitors.
6. If the starting capacitors are good, check the motors for opens and shorts.
There should be low resistance between the windings.
7. Check the limit switches for opens and shorts.
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.
