Pyramid AC Receiver Installation Manual PRODUCT SAFETY WARNING Please follow these instructions as you install the equipment and keep them for future use. Installation is only to be carried out by competent, qualified and experienced personnel in accordance with the country of installations National Wiring Regulations. Failure to do so can result in injury or death by electric shock. Use a class 2 isolated power supply for the 12V DC.
Installation Manual Pyramid AC Receiver THE AC RECEIVER The Pyramid AC Receiver is a fixed speed pan and tilt control receiver that can be connected to any camera within the Pyramid system that has an AC Pan/Tilt head. The receiver is easy to install, and a service pin and test button are included to aid the installation process. Once it has been fitted, the receiver will drive the pan, tilt, zoom and focus functions of a Pan/Tilt head, and it can also drive auxiliary equipment (wipers, lights etc.

Installation Manual Pyramid AC Receiver PCB POWER CONNECTIONS CON1 is used for PCB power connection. This power controls the switching of the relays, the video gain and lift and the lens functions. The AC power for the Pan/Tilt head and auxiliaries is connected separately to CON5. The PCB requires a +12V DC, 1A class 2 power supply.
Pyramid AC Receiver Installation Manual CONNECTING THE LENS DRIVE OUTPUTS CON3 provides the lens drive outputs for focus, iris and zoom. The drive voltage is +10V DC at up to 100 mA. Refer to your lens instructions and connect up the lens according to Figure 5.
Installation Manual Pyramid AC Receiver CONNECTING THE PAN/TILT HEAD AND AUXILIARIES POWER SOURCE CON5 accepts the AC power input which is then switched to CON4. It powers the Pan/Tilt head and auxiliaries. CON5 can be connected to either a 24V AC or Mains power supply. For Mains Connections Referring to Figure 7, connect CON5 to the LIVE and NEUTRAL connections on the external terminal block. The connections should be made to the non-fused side of the terminal block.
Pyramid AC Receiver Installation Manual FITTING NETWORK CARDS To connect the AC receiver to the network, it is first necessary to ensure that the correct Pyramid network card is fitted to the PCB. The cards that can be used are as follows: PY-COM Combined network card. Can be configured for use in RS485 and RS422 networks. Automatic baud-rate selection between low and high speeds (9.8k b.p.s. or 78k b.p.s.). PY-FTT Compatible with FTT10 (Flexible Topology) 2-wire bus-connected, half duplex.
Installation Manual Pyramid AC Receiver PY-FTT, PY-485 AND PY-422 NETWORK CARDS To connect PY-485, PY-FTT and PY-422 network cards to the network, it is necessary to make two connections. Firstly, the network card is connected to the filter board using the four-core screen cable provided. Secondly, the filter board is connected to the network. Use Figure 9 below to connect PY-485 or PY-FTT network cards to the network.
Pyramid AC Receiver Installation Manual PY-COM NETWORK CARDS If a PY-COM network card is fitted to the AC receiver, it can be configured by means of dip switches for use in both RS485 and RS422 networks. The dip switches for the different network types are shown below: RS485 Mode RS485 networks are 2-wire, bus-connected (also referred to as daisy-chain). In RS485 mode, the dip-switches on the PY-COM will be set differently depending on where the unit is placed on the network.
Installation Manual Pyramid AC Receiver POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS The boxed variants of the AC receiver include a terminal block mounted on the metal base plate. This external terminal block is used to earth the metal base plate and to connect the factory fitted 12V DC PSU to the mains power supply. FUSED SIDE NON-FUSED SIDE NEUTRAL NEUTRAL GROUND EARTH LIVE LIVE Figure 13 - External Terminal Block WARNING Ensure that the power is switched off before connecting the mains wires.
Pyramid AC Receiver Installation Manual ADDRESSING A RECEIVER WITH THE PYRAMID 2 KEYBOARD Each receiver that is connected to the Pyramid system must have a unique address called a network address, and an operator with installer privileges can do this using the Pyramid 2 Keyboard. Configuration of the receiver requires the service button to be pressed on the receiver PCB, and this may be a two man operation if the receiver is located remotely from the keyboard.
Installation Manual Pyramid AC Receiver ADDRESSING A RECEIVER WITH THE MK1 KEYBOARD A receiver can also be addressed using the Pyramid Mk1 Keyboard. Follow the steps below: 1. Connect up a Pyramid Mk 1 Keyboard to the telemetry receiver. This can either be connected directly to the receive communications card at the receiver site, or remotely through the Pyramid network in the normal way. 2. Using the keyboard, insert the Installers Card and log on with the PIN number 1892. 3.
Pyramid AC Receiver Installation Manual SETTING RECEIVER CONFIGURATION WITH THE PYRAMID 2 KEYBOARD After a receiver has been addressed, the Pyramid 2 Keyboard can be used to specify the configuration of the receiver remotely via the Pyramid network. To set the configuration of a receiver, follow the steps below: 1. Enter the keyboard menu system. See the Pyramid 2 Keyboard Operating Manual for more details. 2. Select a monitor by entering a number and pressing the Monitor key. 3.
Installation Manual Pyramid AC Receiver SETTING RECEIVER CONFIGURATION WITH THE MK1 KEYBOARD The Pyramid Mk1 Keyboard can also be used to specify the receiver configuration. Follow the steps below: 1. Log on using an installers card (Use Fn 100 if the receiver is not connected to a matrix). 2. Select a valid monitor, and then enter the number of the receiver that is to be configured. 3. Press the List Up key twice to select Change Rx Config. 4. Select the Yes soft key. 5.
Pyramid AC Receiver Installation Manual TESTING Once the receiver has been addressed and configured, an on board test procedure can be activated which steps through outputs in the sequence shown in the table below. The test procedure also allows the receiver to detect the feedback polarity for the Pan/Tilt head and lens. The test procedure runs when the test button is pressed with an appropriate tool (Figure 2). The test takes 57 seconds. WARNING The AC receiver PCB now contains live voltages.
Installation Manual Pyramid AC Receiver SPECIFICATIONS Usage Fixed speed pan and tilt control receiver that can be connected to a PTZ camera within the Pyramid system that has an AC Pan/Tilt head. Once fitted, the unit will drive a PTZ head and up to four auxiliary functions (e.g., wipers, lights). The receiver can also be programmed remotely with privacy zones, limit stops, random patrols, and 128 presets.
