MIC612 Thermal Camera Getting Started en 31

CAUTION!

Bosch recommends that multiple RS-485 connections be arranged as a connected series of point-to-point (multidropped) nodes, as a line or as a bus. It is not recommended to arrange RS-485 connections as a star, ring, or as a multiple-connected network. Star and ring topologies may cause signal reflections or excessively low or high termination impedance.

In Pelco Protocol Mode, the camera is configured from the factory for RS-485 operation.

1.Connect the controller's Tx terminals to the Tx terminals in the power supply box. See the MIC Series Power Supplies Installation Manual for complete wiring instructions.

2.Pan or tilt the keyboard joystick to confirm that control has been established to the camera (approximately five (5) seconds).

5.2	Powering On
	When you turn on power to the camera, a splash screen or text displays the type of device
	(MIC612), the camera model, the video type (PAL or NTSC), the firmware version, and (if
	applicable) the MAC address.

5.3	Controlling the Camera
		The most common ways to control the MIC612 are:
		– Using a keyboard and on-screen display (OSD) menus. This method is the most common.
