SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

I. Summary

The keyboard controller is used for terminal receivers such as the intelligent Speed Dome and the decoder etc. Taking the EIA/RS-485 electrical interface between the keyboard and the receiver, one keyboard can control as much as 32 speed dome and decoders without driving the bus and the maximum communication distance between the keyboard and the receiver is up to 1.2 km. It�s very easy for operating and setting the Speed Dome Camera. The controller is also to control the terminal receiver to achieve the function of controlling pan/tilt, lens and etc.

Main Functions:

􀂋 Set the address range of the dome camera and the decoder：0～64.

􀂋 Control all functions of the dome camera such as Power ON/OFF.

c) Some of the ID-Code of the protocols are set as follows:

V. Operation of the Keyboard

1. Select Address of Speed Dome Camera /Decoder [N]+[ CAM] Description N �� No. of camera from 0 to 64

Function Select the address of the camera to be controlled. When the value N is in conformity with the address of the speed dome, it will be under control.

Description N �� No. of preset position from 1 to 64.

Function Store current position and refer it as No. N position.

3. Call the Preset position [N]+[ CALL]

Description: N �� No. of preset position from 1 to 64.

Function Transfer the camera to the position of No. N preset position.

4. Cancel the Preset position: [N]+[CLEAR]

Function Delete the No. N Preset position stored.

5. Run patrol [N]+ [SHOT]

Description N �� No. of the track from 1 to 3.

Function Tour the No. N track and stop tour by pushing the joystick.

6. To turn on Auto Pan (Operation of COP-2 SAMSUNG Protocol) ：[AUTO]+[P1]+[ON]+[P2]+[OFF]

Description P1 �� the starting scan No. of preset point from 1 to 64, which should be set already.

Description P2 � the ending scan No. of preset point from 1 to 64, which should be set already. If P1 = P2 or P1 and P2 are coincided, the speed dome will make scan in range of 360�.

Note:① For PELCO-D、PELCO-P、COP-1 Protocol the way of operation is as follows:

􀂋 Set the starting scan position: Transfer the Speed Dome to the starting scan position, operation

[AUTO]+[ON]

􀂋 Set the ending scan position: Transfer the Speed Dome to the ending scan position, operation

[AUTO]+[OFF]

􀂋 Run Auto Pan：[AUTO]+[SHOT]

②Auto Pan operation takes the following parameters. You must set these parameters before using a

Auto Pan command to begin the scan operation. You can use the scan stop command or PT swing

stop command to stop the scan. Setting scan condition.

􀁺 Auto Pan Position (First specify position, second specify position)

􀁺 Auto Pan Speed and Direction

7. Stop Auto Pan：[AUTO]+[OFF] ( Only C0P-2 Available) or push the joystick to stop scan

8. Patrol setup (COP-1, COP-2, PELCO-D, PELCO-P Available)：

14	< 180�, high speed				> 180�, high speed (Invalid in COP-1)

􀁺 For different camera, control functions in the list could be different.

􀁺 For the camera with the menu, switch ON/OFF the menu by "[MENU]+[3]+[ON]", and switch ON/OFF the OSD by "[MENU]+[3]+[OFF]". In case the camera has the menu and the menu is ON：
1. 1. Select the item on the menu by buttons [WIDE]/[TELE] to scroll the cursor up or down;
2. 2. Chang the status of the selected item on the menu by buttons [FAR]/[NEAR];
3. 3. Switch OFF the menu as per operations in the list after the menu is set.

􀁺 Take care of differences between the Menu of Speed Dome and the Menu of Camera. For the speed dome with the menu, enter the menu by "[64] +[CALL]" and basic operations are as follows：
1. 1. Call No.64 preset point to open the main menu by the control keyboard.
2. 2. When the menu appears on the screen, move the cursor to the item you need to set by "TILT UP" and "TILT DOWN", and enter the settings of the item to make change by "PAN LEFT" and "PAN RIGHT";
3. 3. Speed up operation of the joystick after keeping it for one second in one direction.
4. 4. All settings of the menu could not be lost even power failure occurred;
5. 5. Operations under special case can be referred on the description of the menu of the ball machine.

12. Use the Joystick to Control the Speed Dome Camera：

You can use the speed joystick to control the Pan/Tilt direction and speed of the dome of the camera randomly. The speed of pan/tilt is decided by the angle of the joystick you operated (Figure 3). Change the tilting angle of the joystick you can adjust the speed evenly and the camera can be focused automatically in the course of scan to keep images being distinct.

VI. Installation and Connection

Attention： Please read the operation manual of the keyboard and the speed dome carefully before connecting wires. Any incorrect connections can cause permanent damage of the device. When connecting wires, first switch off the power supply of all devices. The communication wires between devices should be shielded twisted cable.
