1.1 Introduction
1.Product Introduction
1.
Important NoteWarning
Z40TIR is a 3-axis high-precision gimbal with 4K EO/IR zoom
camera. It integrated with 20x optical zoom EO sensor which
provides not only 40x hybrid zoom and 4K video streaming but also
25.9MP resolution photo, and with a 25mm lens 640*480 IR thermal
sensor. It supports IR thermal and visible PIP switch, IR color palette
switch, photographing and video, target tracking, thermal digital
zoom. When the external GPS and time input, the OSD can display
angle, zoom times, photographing and video status and tracking
frame, also can select to turn off the OSD. Z40TIR has geotagging
function. GPS coordinate and shooting time can be saved in image
file, OSD can display GPS and real-time as well. Z40TIR supports
dual SD cards for storage, the video streaming and photos from the
visual camera will be saved in one SD card, the resolution can be
configured, the photos can up to 25.9MP and the highest resolution
of videos can up to 3840*2160 (30fps), while the video streaming
and photos from the thermal camera will be saved in the second
card. The 3 axis gimbal can achieve stabilization in yaw, roll and
pitch. The integrated design of damping system and gimbal can
greatly reduce mechanical vibration.

2.4 Install Mounting Part
8.
(1) Find out the arrow on the gimbal which indicating the yaw
heading of the payload (i.e. the lens direction when the camera
power on), and synchronize with the direction specified by the UAV.
(2) Fix one end of the copper cylinder on the screw hole of lower
damping board, and use M3 screw to fasten it.
(3) According to the provided screw hole dimension you can make
suitable mounting holes on the UAV mounting board, and fixes the
other end of the copper cylinder on the mounting board of the UAV
(Viewport version is the same).

2.5 Viewport Release Instruction
9.
1. Make sure the two white stripes indicated in above picture are
aligned with each other. (If the stripes are not aligned to each other,
please pinch the connector part and turn it to left manually)
×

10.
2. Align the white dot (unlock icon) to the red triangle (below unlock
button), push the gimbal into the Viewport completely and then
rotate the gimbal camera anticlockwise.
3. When you hear "click" sound (when red dot is aligned to the red
triangle) means the gimbal camera and Viewport has been locked.
4. To unlock the Viewport, you need to press on unlock button and
rotate the gimbal camera clockwise till the white dot align to the red
triangle. Then pull the gimbal out from the Viewport.

card, hot plugging is not supported.

3.1 PWM Control
12.
Control the gimbal camera functions by the multiplex pulse width
modulation signal outputted by PWM channel of the remote control
receiver. The camera needs up to 6 control channels of PWM (to
expand tracking function use up to 7 PWM channels). You can choose
needed functions according to actual usage to reduce the required
number of PWM channels.
3.1.1 PWM Connection Diagram (Connect pitch chan-
nel as example)
3. Signal Control
Above output mode is optional, HDMI and SDI output
cannot coexist at the same time. Please subject to
your actual product.
When using user interface software Viewlink for
network connection, the network of external device
(computer) should be the IP address: 192.168.2.2
(choose the last byte among 2~254, can not be 119
same as the gimbal), subnet mask: 255.255.255.0,
Default gateway: 192.168.2.1, and all firewalls of the
computer must be closed. Then enter the IP address
of the gimbal camera, Open Video, the video stream
can be outputted.

Connect the camera to the upper computer by USB to TTL cable
(Adopt connection method of TX to RX, RX to TX, GNG to GND at
Dupont ends of the provided USB to TTL cable, connect to the
specified TTL of the gimbal, and the USB end of the cable connect to
computer).
Control the gimbal camera functions by one combining signals.
Connect the external S.Bus to S.Bus port on the control box, and the
external S.bus signal GND connect to the GND interface of the control
box.
Wiring Diagram (Take Futaba remote control for example):
Install Viewlink control software to test the functions directly. Users
may choose to develop their own software, please contact technical
support for TTL control protocol file.
ViewLink is a user interface developed by Viewpro for Viewpro gimbal
cameras, you can download it from Viewpro website (www.viewpro-
tech.com) or ask distributors for installation package.
Connect serial port of gimbal to pins, DO NOT connect
with power supply.
The default baud rate of serial port is 115200, which
can be changed according to the docking equipment.
