FLIR PTU-E46

Miniature Computer-Controlled Pan/Tilt Unit

The PTU-E46 family of miniature pan/tilt units provide fast, precise positioning in an extremely small and lightweight package. They are fully computer-controlled and offer programmability of speed, acceleration, power, and other parameters. The included controller, with built-in RS-232, Ethernet, and RS-485 interfaces, handles precise kinematic motion control according to user-set parameters. The PTU-E46 units accept ASCII and binary command formats and is networkable. Commands can be sent at high speeds for demanding applications, such as laser scanning and video tracking.


KEY FEATURES

  • Simple to use from any RS-232 terminal or web browser
  • Small form factor (<5.2” tall and <3 lb)
  • Single DC power input suited for battery operation
  • Rigid worm gear design
    no belts/pulleys· ASCII command mode for simplicity; binary commands available for high-performance

NEW FEATURES

Built-in Ethernet interface (web or TCP/IP)

  • Built-in geo-pointing (GPM)
  • Increased command rates
  • PTU-SDK (software development kit) supported
  • Pelco-D supported
  • Backwards compatible with D46
