Installation

AXB-PT10/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers

1. Unscrew the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the PSN6.5 2-pin cable.

2. Pair the GND wires from the PSN6.5 and the Central Controller AXlink connectors together

and insert them into the clamp position for GND on the PosiTrack unit’s AXlink connector.

3. Tighten the clamp to secure the two GND wires.

4. Place the PWR wire from the PSN6.5 into the open clamp position for PWR on the PosiTrack

unit’s AXlink connector.

5. Tighten the clamp to secure the PWR wire.

Using the AXlink connector with an external RS-232 control device or PC (Stand-

Alone only)

To use the AXlink 4-pin connector with a PC or other RS-232 controller, wire the AXlink

connector to a DB-9 female connector, as shown in FIG. 23. Connector pins 2, 3, and 5 are used for

data and ground. For some applications requiring hardware handshaking, it may be necessary to

strap pins 7 (request to send) and 8 (clear to send) together.

Using the RS-232 DB-9 connector

The RS-232 DB-9 (male) connector on the PosiTrack units connect to the camera head’s RS-232

connector. The following table shows the pinouts and pin configuration for the DB-9.
