AXB-PT10/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers
The PosiTrack units are both powered from an optional local power supply. The wiring distances
for the AXB-PT10 are based on a +12 VDC power supply and are capable of 2 A (continuous) with
a maximum current of 20 amps.
The wiring distances for the AXB-PT30 are based on a +12 VDC power supply and are capable of
6 A (continuous) with a maximum current of 20 amps. The PosiTrack unit provides power outputs
for the camera/lens combination.
Preparing captive wires
You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.
1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector, according to the wiring
diagrams and connector types described in this section.
3. Turn the screws clockwise to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws
excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.
Using the AXlink connector for data and power
To use the AXlink 4-pin connector for data communication with the Central Controller and power
transfer from the PSN6.5 power supply, the incoming PWR and GND cable from the PSN6.5 must
be connected to the AXlink cable connector going to the PosiTrack Controller. FIG. 22 shows how
the power cable from the PSN6.5 is used to power the PosiTrack Controller and the GND cable is
connected onto the existing GND cable on the AXlink cable coming from the Central Controller.
Always use a local power supply to power the PosiTrack unit.
Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

To the Central Controller
Do not connect the wire from the PWR terminal on the Central Controller to the PWR
terminal on the PosiTrack unit when you connect an external power supply. Make
sure to connect only the AXM, AXP, and GND wires on the PosiTrack unit’s Axlink
connector when using the PSN6.5 power supply.
