Pre-Position Model Connections

The following connection instructions are for models with

Preset capability. This includes the following models:

AD1240/24P - Preset model

AD1240/24PA - Preset with AutoPan

AD1240/24PH - Preset with Heater

The connector for Pan/Tilt and pre-position (Preset) control is

a 13-pin connector located on the rear panel of the AD1240.

On the AutoPan and Heater models, this connector also

supplies the appropriate voltage (24VAC) for these functions.

A mating connector assembly is supplied for connections.

The pre-position feedback is achieved by high-grade servo

potentiometers within the AD1240. These potentiometers are

used to feedback positional information from the AD1240 to

the external control system (e.g., Receiver/Driver).

• Check the polarity of the reference voltage connected to the

AD1240 to insure that movement of the unit causes the

feedback voltage to operate in the correct polarity for the

control system, i.e., panning right increases the pan wiper

voltage, tilt up increases the tilt wiper voltage.

Note: If the polarity is not correct, the unit will not

find its correct PRESET position.

• If a correction is necessary, reverse the polarity of the

reference supply connections.

Refer to the following table and Figure 8 for the AD1240

preset model pin definitions.

Shielded cable is recommended for most applications with the

Cable Strain Relief

The AD1240 Pan/Tilt is provided with a cable strain relief to

secure the power and signal connection cable to the main body.

This prevents accidental damage and chafing of the cable

during panning operation.

The connecting cable must be attached to the strain relief

assembly at the bottom of the AD1240 main body. Two tie-

down anchors are provided for attaching the cable to the main

body. The strain relief assembly is shown in Figure 10, below,

and its locations on the bottom of the main body are illustrated

in Figures 11 and 12 on page 11.

The AD1240 is delivered with the anchors attached to the

channel in the bottom of the main body, as illustrated in Figure

10, below. Two tie-wraps are provided separately, in the

package of mounting hardware supplied with the AD1240.

Note: If the tie-wrap anchors are not attached to the main

body at delivery, or are removed for any reason, attach

both to the main body bottom channel, as shown in

Figure 10, before mounting the AD1240 to a mounting

bracket.

To attach the connection cable to the strain relief assembly:

1. After wiring and assembly of the appropriate connector,

pages 7 - 9, connect the finished connector assembly to the

rear panel connector of the AD1240.

2. Feed each tie-wrap through the two anchors on the bottom

of the main body. (See Figure 10.)

3. Place the cable snug against the two anchors on the bottom

of the main body. (See Figure 12.)

4. Connect the tie-wraps around the cable, leaving enough

slack to adjust the cable.

5. Connect the cable inputs to an appropriate power source

and verify proper panning operation, in the full range

desired.

Adjust the cable position in the tie-wraps as necessary to

prevent binding.

6. Disconnect power and secure the tie-wraps on the cable.

SETUP

The AD1240 has two adjustable end stop switches which limit

the angle of travel for both the pan axis and the tilt axis. Set

these end stop switches to suit the site conditions. For models

with AutoPan, these end stops determine the end points of the

automatic panning action.

End Stop Limit Adjustment

SWITCH LOCATION

The limit switches for both Pan and Tilt movement are

located inside the AD1240 main body. To access the limit

switches, remove the four bolts on the front cover of the unit

(opposite the external connector) using the supplied 3 mm

Allen wrench, and remove the cover.

• The limit switches are located on the top plate of the pan

axis and tilt axis gearboxes (see Figures 13 and 14).

• The adjustable limit strikers are located on the end of

each axis main shaft (see Figure 14).

AXIS ALIGNMENT (Preset models only)

Before setting the limit strikers in the Preset models, the unit

must be aligned for proper travel of the preset potentiometer.

This alignment is important to prevent operation of the

AD1240 past the designed limits of travel.

Alignment marks (red dots) are provided on each axis main

gear and gearbox (see Figures 13 and 14, page 13) to assist

in aligning the unit. The AD1240, as shipped from the

factory, is set at the proper alignment positions for setting

the limit strikers. It is recommended that you confirm correct

lateral and vertical alignment of the actuator. Alignment by

the user is necessary only if the end stops are to be changed

after operation of the unit.

Align each axis by aligning the red mark on each main gear

with the red mark on the associated gearbox. (refer to

Figures 13 and 14 on page 13). Perform this alignment only

by applying control voltages (24VAC, ±10%) to the

applicable connector pins (Pan Left or Right, and Tilt Up or

Down).

Note: DO NOT attempt to rotate or position either axis by

hand, as this will cause irreversible damage to the

gears and transmission parts.

STRIKER ADJUSTMENT

Set the limit striker arms for the desired angle of travel to

suit the application. For Preset models, perform the Axis

Alignment (preceding paragraph) prior to this adjustment.

1. Push the appropriate adjustment arm in the desired

angular position for limit control of the Right/Left (Pan

axis), and/or the Up/Down (Tilt axis) direction.

• Adjust the limit strikers with finger pressure only.

The following are typical pan or tilt angle limit settings.

• The maximum Tilt setting is ±90°, or 180° limits.

Note: For Preset models, be careful not to push either

striker arm past the red axis alignment marks (see

Figures 13 and 14). The two striker arms must be

positioned on either side of the mark - do not

locate both arms on one side of the mark as

illustrated below.

2. Verify proper operation of the unit at both end stops

before re-attaching the front cover to the AD1240.

Note: Be careful when verifying operation of the unit -

any movement of the unit while the cover is

removed may cause damage to the unit.

3. Refit the front cover onto the AD1240 and tighten the

four 3 mm bolts holding the cover.

AutoPan Setup

The AutoPan models (AD1240/24A or AD1240/24PA) must

be set for the proper AutoPan ends stops. This is accomplished

by adjusting the Pan axis limit strikers to the desired end stop

positions, as above.

When the AutoPan signal is applied (24VAC ±10% to pin 6),

the unit continuously pans between the two end stops, until the

signal is removed.
