6.2   Integrated Interface Cable 
The PTZ-35 MS / PTZ-50 MS camera uses an electrical-mechanical engagement system that requires 
only one integrated connection to the sensor. The standard interface cable is 12.5 meters (± 0.5 m) 
long and is terminated with MIL-C-26482 Series 1 connectors.

MIL-C-26482 Series 1 Connector Part Numbers 
The system cable has a female 18 pin sealed connector (ITT Canon KPT0614F-18S) at one 
end that connects to the back of the camera base. The other end has a male 32 pin sealed 
connector  (KPT06F18-32P). It connects to the break-out cable or another device.

Breakout Connector Cable  
The PTZ-35 MS / PTZ-50 MS camera also includes a breakout cable (as shown in Error! Reference 
source not found.) that connects to the integrated interface cable with single terminal connectors. The 
breakout cable has the MIL-C-26482 Series 1 Connector (Female) on one end and five pig-tail leads, 
described as follows: 
One lead is used for power and the pin outs are shown here. 
 Input voltage range: 24 VDC ±10 % with 24 VDC optimum value 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Two leads are for the IR and DLTV video as shown here:

7.0 MAINTENANCE  
7.1 Lens Cleaning 
Materials:  
•  Optical-grade tissue (e.g., Edmund Industrial Optics part number 52105 or any similar product) 
•  pure water (de-ionized or other) 
•  isopropyl alcohol (IPA) 
 
Procedure: 
1.  Saturate a piece of the lens tissue with the water and drape it over the lens. Let the surface 
tension of the water pull the tissue onto the lens surface and then drag the tissue across the 
lens surface. Repeat several times with different pieces of tissue. 
2.  Repeat the same step using IPA instead of water.  Drag the final piece of tissue over the lens 
several times to prevent pooling, which could leave a residue behind.

9.0  OPTIONAL JOYSTICK DISPLAY UNIT  
9.1  Joystick Control w/ Display Unit  
 
The Joystick Display Unit, also called the LOOK display controller, is shown below in Figure 22.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Figure 22: Joystick Display Unit 
 
The operation directions for the Joystick Display Unit can also be found on the back of unit. An 
example of this is shown in Figure 23.  
 
Joystick operation: When pushed left or right, forward (up) or back (down), the camera moves 
in that direction. When twisted clockwise, the camera zooms in; zooming in lowers the pan/tilt speed in 
three steps. When twisted counterclockwise, the camera zooms out; zooming out increases the pan/tilt 
speed. The top two white buttons (GEAR) are used to set the maximum speed manually. 
Low Light Toggle On/Off (DISPLAY) “LO” button the GREEN LED will flash quickly. This mode 
applies a slow shutter & the motion will be blurred. 
Vibration Press & hold YELLOW 2ND button & press (DISPLAY) “HI” – the top GREEN LED will flash 
slowly & the Vibration should decrease. 
 
Tips: When zooming, place target in center of display, then zoom. Use “Stabilize Image” when vehicle 
is in motion –see Vibration above. 
 
Joystick drift: If the camera moves or zooms without touching the joystick, this is called “drift”. 
Follow these instructions to correct the problem: 
1.  Recycle power without touching joystick during the flashing LED portion of the turn-on 
sequence.

a. Remove power. 
b.  Depress and hold the ‘Gear – DN’ white button (top right). 
c. Apply power. 
d.  Wait 10 seconds and release button. 
Caution: The unit should be operated by a person other than the driver while vehicle is in use.  When 
not in use, remove power jack from Joystick Display Unit.

10.0  SOFTWARE CONTROL FUNCTIONS 
10.1 Software Interface Description 
The software communication interface is accomplished across a single hardware communications 
channel.  The camera responds to either VISCA commands or Pelco D commands. The channel is 
factory selectable to be either RS-422 or RS-232 and the baud rate is set at 9600k by default.  This 
channel carries command/status data for all three devices; IR Imager, visible imager and the pan/tilt 
mechanism. The default RS-232 configuration is as follows: 
 Baud Rate  9600 
 Data Bits  8 
 Parity   None 
 Stop Bits  1 
 Flow Control None 
10.2 IR Imager  
This section describes the structure of the commands of the IR imager on the PTZ-35 MS / PTZ-50 
MS.  Note that all data values are called out in hexadecimal. The command and response strings of 
the IR imager interface are of variable length, ranging from 10 bytes to 32 bytes.  The byte descriptions 
are as follows: 
Byte 1    Process Code 
Byte 2    Status 
Byte 3    Reserved 
Byte 4    Function Code 
Byte 5    Data Byte Count (MSB) 
Byte 6    Data Byte Count (LSB) 
Byte 7    CRC 1 (MSB) 
Byte 8    CRC 1 (LSB) 
Byte    Data Byte i (first byte) 
 
      …      {Variable, 0 to 22 data bytes total} 
 
Byte    Data Byte j (last Byte) 
Byte
n    CRC 2 (MSB) 
Byte
n+1    CRC 2 (LSB) 
 
where: n = 8 + Data Byte Count 
 
Examples:  If data byte count = 0, total string bytes = 10 
      If data byte count = 8, total string bytes = 18
