RS485 SETUP

Use the following procedure to configure the RS485 setup when you want to use the system controller to control the camera (pan, tilt, etc.) via the camera's data port.

1.Display the setup menu (page 26), move the cursor to RS485 SETUP O, and then press the CAM (SET) button.

This will display the RS485 setup menu.

2.Check the unit number. (page 12)

The UNIT NUMBER item shows the unit number specified by DIP Switch 1. The factory default unit number is 1.

If DIP Switch 1 specifies 1 to 96 as the unit number, move the cursor to UNIT NUMBER and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a unit number (1 to 96).

3.Move the cursor to BAUD RATE, and then tilt the joy- stick left or right to select a baud rate setting.

Tilting the joystick cycles through the baud rate (transmission speed) display in the sequence shown below. (unit: bits/s) The factory default setting is 19200.

2400 4800 9600 19200

4.Move the cursor to DATA BIT, and then tilt the joy- stick left or right to select a data bit setting (7 or 8). The factory default setting is 8.

5.Move the cursor to PARITY CHECK, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a parity bit setting (NONE, ODD, EVEN).

The factory default setting is NONE.

6.Move the cursor to STOP BIT, and then tilt the joy- stick left or right to select a stop bit setting (1 or 2). The factory default setting is 1.

7.Move the cursor to XON/XOFF, and then tilt the joy- stick left or right to select an XON/XOFF setting.

The factory default setting is NOT USE.

NOT USE: Disables X ON/X OFF data flow control.

USE: Enables X ON/X OFF data flow control.

8.Move the cursor to WAIT TIME, and then tilt the joy- stick left or right to select a wait time setting.

The wait time is the time that the camera should wait before resending data when no receive acknowl- edgement (ACK) is returned after data is sent.

Tilting the joystick cycles through the wait time dis- play in the sequence shown below. (unit: ms) The factory default setting is OFF.

OFF 100MS 200MS 400MS 1000MS

9.Move the cursor to ALARM DATA, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select an alarm data send mode setting.

POLLING: Sends alarm data in response to a request by the system controller.

AUTO1: Sends alarm data each time an alarm sig- nal is input.

AUTO2: Sends alarm data at five-second intervals. This is the factory default setting.

Note:

When using the preset alarm (page 41), select "AUTO1".

10.Move the cursor to DELAY TIME, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a delay time setting. The delay time is the time is the time the camera should wait before sending a receive acknowledge (ACK). The delay time display changes in the sequence shown below. (unit: ms) The factory default setting is OFF.

OFF 100MS

This setting can be configured only when 2-line con- figuration is selected by DIP Switch 2. (page 11)
