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 a zone is blanked, the system displays
the message, VIDEO BLANK. (Refer to
Zone Blank in the Programming 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 or lens command. Presets, flip, digital zoom, proportional pan, 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 system does not receive any commands for a specified period of time (refer to the Park Time Minutes section), the system goes to preset 1
and parks. If the time specified is zero, or if preset 1 has not been programmed, the pan and tilt will not park.
IR FILTER (MODELS ES30PCBW24 AND ES31PCBW24 ONLY)
The ES30PCBW24 and ES31PCBW24 models have an IR (infrared) lens filter that can switch in and out, automatically or manually, depending on
how the system is programmed. When the filter is IN, the camera produces a color picture. When the IR filter switches OUT, the picture changes
to black and white, increasing visibility in low light conditions.
The Auto IR Level setting controls automatic operation of the filter. To manually override automatic operation use presets 88 (filter IN) and 89
(filter OUT). The unit will remain in manual control until it is panned or tilted more than 15 degrees.
LOW LIGHT does not mean NO LIGHT. Some type of illumination is required (street light, IR light, etc.).
AUTO IRIS
If auto iris is in the auto mode, it remains that way until you manually open or close the iris. The system will return to auto iris when it is panned
or tilted more than 15 degrees.
WIPER
The ES31PC Series features a window wiper to clear moisture from the enclosure glass. There are two modes of operation for the wiper:
momentary and continuous. The wiper mode is easily set up through on-screen programming (refer to the
Wiper Mode section).
To operate the wiper do the following:
• Momentary Mode: To operate the wiper one full cycle, press the AUX 1 button on your controller. Each press of the button operates the
wiper one full cycle, even if the AUX 1 button is latching. If AUX 1 is latching, the first press will activate the wiper (open the latch).
Pressing AUX 1 a second time closes the latch, but will not cycle the wiper. Press the AUX 1 key again to cycle the wiper.
• Continuous Mode: To operate the wiper press the AUX 1 button on your controller. The wiper will continue to operate until the AUX 1
button is pressed again or until the programmed cycle is completed.
NOTE: CM9740 and CM9760 Matrix Systems Only – For the wiper to operate in continuous mode, the AUX 1 function in the camera file must
be set to latching. If the AUX 1 camera file is not latching, the wiper will only operate in momentary mode, even if the Esprit wiper is
programmed for continuous operation. Refer to the operation manual supplied with the CM9740 or CM9760 matrix system for instructions.
OPEN COLLECTOR AUXILIARY OUTPUT
An AUX 2 command from the controller will activate a device, such as a relay. The output will remain active for two seconds and then deactivate,
even if the controller is set to latching mode.
Examples of devices that can be used with AUX 2 are a washer assembly (not supplied by Pelco) or a latching relay (not supplied by Pelco)
attached to control a gate, lights, etc.
If a relay is used it must require less than 32 VDC and 40 mA to trigger the relay coil. The relay must be placed within 100 ft (30 m) of the
Esprit unit.
