control ports. Attach the lens control cable from your lens to the connector on the rear of the pan tilt head. If you are using a C mount lens with auto iris, and your camera supports auto iris operation, attach the four pin link from your camera body to the four pin connector on the lens body.

Here is a table showing the types of cameras and lens configurations supported by the PT-101 : NOTE: All Hitachi cameras used with the PT-101 head must be set to Hitachi RC-Z3 communications mode if remote camera control is desired via the optional PT-CCB-101 chipset!! The baud rate of the camera must be set to 9600. Consult your Hitachi camera operation manual for details on how to do this. If your camera / lens combination does not appear in this table, contact Eagle™ tech support for configuration help.
Now you may hook up the wiring to the Eagle™ control system and power supply, using the instructions included with those devices. If you are using the Eagle™ PT-T2 connection block, follow the instructions included with the PT-T2 for system configuration choices. Proceed to the next step ONLY when the system wiring is complete, and all connections have been verified for accuracy.
To set the address by remote control from a PT controller or software, follow this procedure. The address is set by the factory to 1 when shipped. If a change is required, follow the procedure for your particular model of Eagle™ controller: PT-C-50 controller: Enter FUNCT, PRESET 4, then select PRESET 1 through 8 to set addresses from 1 through 8. Note that the PT-C-50 controller is limited to control of 8 PT heads. PT-C controller: simply enter FUNCTION, the 11 button; the LCD display will read ADDRESS.
The PT-101 is shipped in standard RS-485 mode; with all of the jumpers UP. Switch all three of the jumpers to the lower position, and the head is now configured for RS-232 mode. The same control codes used for RS-485 apply for moving the head using Eagle™ software or when writing your own software. These control codes are available off of the Eagle website, http://www.eaglepantilt.com.
360° (left or right 180°), and a tilt range of 180° (up or down 90°); it cannot turn more than a full circle. There are end travel stops programmed into the head at the factory to prevent traveling more than these amounts; these cannot be cleared when clearing the safety limits. Once the travel limits are set, normal usage of the pan tilt system may begin. The PT-101 head uses DC stepper type motors instead of geared motors.
