Rs-485 - EverFocus Day / Night Speed Dome Camera EPTZ 100 Installation & Operation Manual

3.2.3 RS-485

EPTZ 100 uses RS-485 simplex wiring; the signal is transferred via a single twisted pair line. CAT5
network cable is recommended, UTP version (unshielded) is sufficient for normal application. A shielded
cable should be used if the installed cables are expected to be highly susceptible to interferences.
Basically, the bus should be created by serial wiring, star wiring is only permitted using signal distributors.
Maximum RS-485 bus cable length is 1200 m. Both the first and the last device are normally 120 Ohm
terminated in order to minimize line reflexions.
