Initial Setup; Address Setting - EverFocus EPTZ Series User Manual

Video Cable
A BNC cable is used for connecting an EPTZ860 to a DVR or a monitor. An amplifier may be
needed if the video cable is too long.
RS485 Cable
Yellow wire represents RS485+, orange wire represents RS485-. Connect RS485 to EKB500 and
you will be able to control the speed dome by a keyboard. If you are unable to control the speed
dome with EKB500, it is probably due to a mis-connection. Please try to switch RS485 wires and
connect again.

1.8. Initial Setup

Initial setup includes dome address, communication protocol, transmission speed, and terminal
resistance settings. All of the settings should be confirmed before the dome is installed. The
control-related setting that is address, communication protocol and transmission speed have to
be set consistently with the control device such as a keyboard or a DVR.
Notice: Please make sure the power is off before setting, and restart the EPTZ860 to enable a
new value after changing.

Address Setting

The address code of the EPTZ860 should be set to correspond properly with a control device
to control multiple dome cameras. The address codes are made up by the dip switch on the
camera main body. The 8 bits dip switch indicates the binary coded of the address, and there
are 256 addresses can be selected (0 ~ 255). It also means that there are up to 256 dome
cameras that can cascade on the RS-485 bus. The dip switch setting and the indicated address
are represented in the following diagram.
