Teledyne FLIR PTU-D300E-HS Pan/Tilt Unit

The Configuration Guide, available in the downloads section of this page, lists the configuration options and accessories for the PTU-D300 E Series pan-tilt units (PTU-D300E) manufactured by FLIR.

Additional information and instructions for the PTU-D300E are available in the following documents:

• PTU-D300 E Series Datasheet

• PTU-D300 E Series User Manual

• Pan-Tilt Unit (E Series) Command Reference Manual

Each D300E series units include a model number that is located on the base of the unit. This number lists the options present on that particular unit.
Different options may require specialized instructions, and this section will help to choose the appropriate configuration.

The PTU‐D300 E series model number appears as follows:

The following configuration and options are available for the PTU-D300E:

• EX Gears: The PTU-D300E with EX gears provides additional torque with slower axis speeds for heavier loads.
• HS Gears: The PTU-D300E with HS gears provides higher pan-axis speeds and lighter load capacity.
• Bracket Mount: Payloads can be mounted on the top and/or side. A number of bracket options are available to suit each application.
• Bottom Base Connector: The PTU-D300E can be configured with the base connector located on the bottom of the unit, which is useful for pole-mounted applications.
• Slip Ring: The PTU-D300E is available with or without a slip ring for continuous 360° panning. 
• Wiring: Different payload pass-through wiring options are available for passing signals through the PTU to the payload. 
• Range of Motion: contact us If needed as it may need special configuration. 

HS Gears

The PTU-D300E with HS gears increases the maximum pan-axis speed to 90° per second while reducing the maximum payload from 35lbs. to 25lbs. (top mount) or from 60lbs. to 40lbs. (side mount).

Part Number:

D300E-S_-__-000-SS (standard gears)

D300E-H_-__-000-SS (high-speed gears)

Bracket Mount

The PTU-D300E accepts top- or side-mounted payloads. Side mounting allows heavier payloads because it reduces tilt-axis torque. You can mount the PTU-D300E in any orientation; however, you must consider

gravity and torque effects based on the PTU orientation and payload orientation/balance.

Single Side Mount

The PTU-D300E comes with a single side hub.

Part Number:

D300E-_S-__-000-SS (PTU)

D300-BKT-LSTD (side bracket)

D300-BKT-HDS (HD side bracket)

Dual Side Mounts

Alternatively, you may order the PTU-D300E with one or two optional side-mount bracket(s), with a permanently mounted top bracket.

Part Number:D300E-_D-__-000-SS (PTU) and D300-BKT-LSTD (bracket)

To order a PTU-D300E with one side-mount bracket:
Order the PTU with two side hubs (D300E-_D-__-000-__) plus one bracket (D300- BKT-LSTD).

To order a PTU-D300E with two side-mount brackets:
Order the PTU with two side hubs (D300E-_D-__-000-__) plus two brackets (D300-BKT-LSTD).

Heavy payloads (above 20 lbs.):

Order heavy-duty brackets for payloads over 20 lbs.

Part Number: D300-BKT-HDS (side)

Bottom Base Connector

The PTU-D300E may be ordered with the base connector mounted either on the side or bottom of the unit.

Part Number: D300E-__-S_-000-SS (std.)

D300E-__-B_-000-SS (bottom connector)

Payload Wiring

PTU-D300E units are equipped with internal pass-through wiring, which provides a 19-pin MIL-C-26402 female receptacle at the top of the PTU near the payload location to connect video, power, and other signals. (The mating connector is provided to facilitate cable construction if needed.) These signals then pass through the PTU, into the connector at the base of the unit, and the cable harness (if purchased).

This option allows you to reduce the amount of external cables and eliminate potential damage to external cables.

• The payload receptacle contains lines for Video 1, Video 2, payload power, and general pass-through lines.

• The base receptacle contains lines for Video 1, Video 2, payload power, general pass-through lines, PTU control (RS-232, RS-485), and PTU power.
  

PL01 Wiring

PL01 allows you to route signals to the payload as shown in the table via 10 dedicated conductors.

A mating connector for cable construction is included.

Part Number: D300E-__-_S-000-__

PL02 Wiring

PL02 allows you to route signals to the payload as shown in the table via 13 dedicated conductors. Mating connector included.

Configurable I/O

Available with the D300E GigE. Allows you to select in software which signals are routed to the payload.

Part Number: D300E-__-SC-000-
