A: Multiple Camera Applications

If your application requires that you have more than one CameraMan , you will need to set them up in a daisy-chain network configuration.

Daisy-chain Network Configuration

To daisy-chain your cameras:

1.To connect the cameras together, plug one end of the CameraMan communication cable into the ParkerVision T- connector and plug the other end into the RS-485port on the back of the camera.

2.Connect each camera using a 4-conductor cable with 4-position modular handset plugs wired straight-through:

Pin 1 . . . .	Pin 1	Pin 3 . . . .	Pin 3
Pin 2 . . . .	Pin 2	Pin 4 . . . .	Pin 4

!	Do not use a standard phone cable. These are wired
	differently and may cause damage.
3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch located on the
	back of the camera, configure each camera with a unique base
	unit address.
	EXAMPLE: Camera 1 set with address 0, camera 2 set with
	address 1, etc.
4. In order to control each camera with your Camera Control
	Keypad, the rotary switch inside the keypad battery
	compartment must match the lowest base unit address in your
	system. Only one base unit should have its RF enabled. Refer to

T-Connector
