RANDOM, FRAME, AND AUTO SCANNING
Select preset 97 (30) to start random scanning. Select preset 98 (31) to activate frame scanning (three seconds of scanning followed by a
three-second pause). Select preset 99 (32) to start auto (continuous) scanning. Scan limit stops are controlled by software. Refer to the
Limit Stops
section to program the scan limit stops.
When the system reaches a scan limit stop, it reverses direction. Select preset 96 (29) to stop a scan. Any pan and tilt or lens command
also will stop a scan.
NOTE: For AMERICAN DYNAMICS controllers with only 32 presets, set switch SW1-5 on the PCB in the ON position. When SW1-5 is ON,
preset 99 becomes 32
98 becomes 31
97 becomes 30
96 becomes 29
95 becomes 28
93 becomes 26
92 becomes 25
91 becomes 24
90 becomes 23
If the limit stops are turned off (refer to the
Limit Stops
section), presets 23-26 can be used as regular presets.
ZONES
A zone is a programmed pan area with set boundaries and identifying label. The Esprit system has a maximum of eight zones, each with a
20-character label. Zones can be programmed to blank video when the camera pans into the zone area. If zone labels are turned off, the
system displays the message, VIDEO BLANK, to indicate the video is blanked and not failing. (Refer to the

Zone Blank

section for
instructions.)
PATTERNS
The Esprit system can do either one full pattern (1.5, 3, or 6 minutes long) or two half patterns (.75, 1.5, or 3 minutes long). This pattern
can consist of any standard pan and tilt command. Presets, flip, and turbo are not allowed in a pattern. Zones can be enabled while
running a pattern. Refer to the documentation for your control system to program and run patterns.
PARK
If the Esprit system does not receive any commands for a specified period of time (refer to the

Park Time Minutes

section), the system will
go to preset 1 and park. If the time specified is zero, or if preset 1 has not been programmed, the system will not park.
