AXB-PT10/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers
Wiring Guidelines
The PosiTrack Controllers require local +12 VDC power (optional) to operate properly. The
maximum wiring distance between the power supply and the PosiTrack Controller is determined by
power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The following wiring
table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable between the PT10/PT30 and the power
supply. The maximum wiring lengths are based on a minimum of 13.5 VDC, available at the power
supply output.
To reduce the possible effects of ground loop noise in the video, use a single-source power supply
mounted within distances specified in the following table.

When applying power to the AXB-PT10, adjust the soft-set pan/tilt limit stops to a safe
position to prevent camera or PT10 damage.
The AXB-PT10 power rating is 2 A @ 12 VDC. The AXB-PT30 power rating is
6 A @ 12 VDC. These power supplies must be provided locally.

complete.
