4 Identification
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 oers continuous, high speed
rotation, positioning precision and superior image
quality, utmost sturdiness and simplied system
conguration.
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 oer 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) conguration,
the system is equipped with an RS485 interface for
complete system control and for the updating in
remote mode of the latest rmware version.
The simplied set-up software interface oers typical
preset congurations or the possibility to customize
the complete system.

4.1.1 Version with thermal imaging
camera
The device can be provided with a thermal imaging
camera, which is installed inside a second housing,
whose window is made mainly of germanium which
guarantees the same strength and security properties
as those for standard glass (Fig. 3 MPXT.,
page10).
The thermal camera is an Uncooled Vanadium Oxide
microbolometer (VOx) with spectral band 7.5-13.5
μm; it delivers a thermal video of 320x 256 (PAL) and
320x240 (NTSC), with an image frequency of 8.3fps or
25 fps (PAL) and 7.5 or 30fps (NTSC).
The high sensitivity NEdT 50mK at f/1.0 ensures an
optimal thermal imaging. It supports 2x or 4x digital
zoom.
A choice of lens sizes is oered between 35mm,
25mm and 9mm, depending on the detection
distance required.
