Page 102. Overview2.1 Introduction
The CCTV Tester tests camera video output, signal strength, and PTZ functions. It
also acts as a video pattern generator, cable mapper, and digital multimeter.
2.2 Features
A. Camera video testing ( Visual). See p age 16. Test a CCTV camera’s video
output visually by displaying it on the tester’s color LCD screen or loop the signal
through to a video monitor.
B. Camera video testing (S ignal strength ). See page 17. Perform a signal
attenuation test with the touch of a button. The video signal’s voltage (max and
average Vpp) is displayed as sync voltage. Perfect for detecting weak signals. Also
measures sync voltage.
C. Camera motion testing (PTZ). See pag e 17. Test a PTZ camera’s pan, tilt, and
zoom directly from the tester’s keypad. Complete with preset settings and speed
adjustment. Supports RS-232, RS-422 simplex and RS-485 connections. Baud
rates of 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,20 0. RS-485 protoco l includes: Pelco D,P,
Samsung, Panasonic, Molynx, and mo re.
D. Monitor testing (Vid eo signal generator) . See page 15. Inspect monitors and
DVRs by driving them with a known good video signal from the tester. It can
output color bars and separate colors. The Camera Wizard only supports NTSC
format.
E. Keyboard testing (RS -485 serial dat a test). See pa ge 20. Test the RS-485 data
sent from a control device by displaying it s hexadecimal data.
F. Digital multimete r. See page 22. Detect AC/DC voltages and measure
resistance using a built-in DMM. Usefu l in measuring and isolating ci rcuit
problems.
G. Power to camera. See page 23 . The tester can supply 12 VDC (20 0 mA) power
to a CCTV camera. Use when no camera power supply is available.
H. UTP (CAT5 or CAT6) cable test. See page 18. Test CAT5 or 6 cables for opens
and shorts. Remote terminator included.
