AXB-PT10/15/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers

Using the lens control DB-15 HD (high density) connector

The PosiTrack Controllers are designed to control servomotor and motor mode camera lenses. See

the Pre-Installation section on page 7 to set the lens switches for servomotor or motor mode.

FIG. 24 shows the DB-15 HD connector pin numbers.

The following table lists the pinouts for motor mode lenses. Pin1 provides lens power from the

PosiTrack’s own power supply when the lens power switch is set to AMX (left).

Motor driven outputs are intended to drive conventional motors. These outputs can deliver up to

100 mA of current. The outputs use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for speed control. The output

voltage values are ± 6 VDC or ±12 VDC. Speed is controlled by varying the duty cycle of the

output.
