4.1 Product description and type
designation
The MAXIMUS series explosion-proof pan-tilt-
zoom (PTZ) camera positioning devices have been
designed to allow movement, on both a horizontal
and a vertical plane of a in-built camera and to
operate in industrial environments in which there
may be an explosive atmosphere due to gas, vapours,
mists, or air or powder mixtures.
MAXIMUS PTZ devices, supplied complete with an in
built camera, are made of AISI 316L electropolished
stainless steel.
This unit basically consists of a base, a main body and
a housing for the camera.
Versions with a second housing for thermal cameras
are available.
The base has an on-board junction box that allows
very easy cabling of the system, and it comprises the
power supply electronics. There is a hole 3/4” NPT
on the base and the connection must to be done in
conformity with IEC/EN60079-14.
The main body contains the motors for horizontal
and vertical movements and the CPU and video
boards.
The camera housing contains a day/night module
with its electronics, an heater and a built-in wiper.
The PTZ device has an IP66 protection degree and
its operating temperature is - 40°C to 60°C (-40°F /
140°F).
MAXIMUS PTZ includes integrated high-performance
pan-and-tilt telemetry.
MAXIMUS PTZ offers continuous, high speed
rotation, positioning precision and superior image
quality, utmost sturdiness and simplified system
configuration.
Speed and precision are the predominant pan-and-
tilt characteristics, reaching 100°/s in continuous
horizontal rotation, with vertical range between -90°
to +90°.
MAXIMUS PTZ manages the preset, auto-pan and
patrol functions with an accuracy 0.02°.
The unit performs a continuous control of its position
to verify the correct positioning of the camera at any
time. This is a very useful function in case of severe
environmental conditions, such as strong wind and
heavy vibrations.
The choice of integrated SONY cameras offer 36x
and 28x zoom lenses, which allow the recording with
exceptional precision of both close-by and far away
objects, as well dynamic privacy zone masking.
Besides the OSD (On Screen Display) configuration,
the system is equipped with an RS485 interface for
complete system control and for the updating in
remote mode of the latest firmware version.
The simplified set-up software interface offers typical
preset configurations or the possibility to customize
the complete system.
