14 Pelco Manual C535M-B (8/98)
NOTE & WARNING:
While in
the programming preset tours
mode, you may delete all previously
programmed tour steps by press-
ing the turbo button on the joystick
(see Figure 7). Make sure you re-
ally want to do this before pressing
the button.
Hitting F3 PREV would take you back to the previous page. PRE stands for preset
address (1-32). DWL stands for dwell rate entered in seconds (1-99). During the
execution of a preset tour, dwell rate is NOT the amount of time spent at any one
camera viewing position or preset address. Dwell rate is defined as the amount of
time in seconds between the moment the pan/tilt begins moving to the current pre-
set and the next preset in the tour. An example might make this clearer.
Assume you have a programmed preset tour of 5 steps consisting of corresponding
preset addresses of 1 through 5 and that you have entered a dwell rate of 10 sec-
onds for each step. Let
’
s say that the pan/tilt has stopped at the first preset address
and is getting ready to move onto the second step of the tour. As soon as the pan/
tilt begins to move from step 1 to step 2 of the tour, the dwell rate time for step two
begins to time out. If it takes 2 seconds for the pan/tilt to reach step 2 of the tour,
then the pan/tilt will spend only 8 seconds of actual viewing time at preset address
2. You can clearly see, therefore, that one must make allowances when entering the
dwell rate to allow time for the pan/tilt to arrive at one preset before being sent to the
next one in the tour. Consequently, actual viewing time at each preset in the tour
can be defined as:
VIEW TIME = Dwell Rate – Pan/Tilt Movement
(actual) (in seconds) (previous to current preset, in seconds)
With these remarks in mind, it should be fairly straightforward to program your pre-
set tour. By default, the initial screen will show a flashing cursor in the DWL row on
page 1, step 1 as previously shown. Use the joystick to move the cursor down to the
PRE row and enter a preset number (1-32), then move the cursor to the DWL row
for step 1 and enter a time in seconds (1-99). Continue programming steps 2-5 in
like manner, using the joystick to move to a new column. If an incorrect value is
entered, the CLEAR key may be used to erase position specific values. To program
steps 6-10, press F2 and continue as before. Press F2 again to program steps 11-
15. To move back one page, press the F3 key. When all desired tour steps are
programmed, press F1 to return to normal operation mode.
4.3.4 Preset Tours (RS-485 Modes) MPT9500TD Only
When programming in the RS-485 mode, an additional row labeled RCV will ap-
pear above the DWL row.
RCV stands for receiver number and may be programmed in the same manner as
DWL and PRE. Legal receiver numbers range from 1 to 32. All other functions and
programming controls operate the same as described in the previous sections.
4.3.5 Running Preset Tours
To run a preset tour, press the number 5 key followed by the F2 key. The keyboard
display should be:

The pan/tilt will be sent immediately to the first preset of the tour, and after the dwell
time programmed in the first step, will continue to the next tour preset. The tour will
continue stepping from one tour preset to the next until the user moves the joystick,
at which time the unit will return to normal operation.
