Please read this operation manual carefully before installing and using this unit !!!! Please read the following; 1. Please read the operation manual carefully before installing and operating the product. 2. The actual dome requires a 12v DC power supply with a minimum rating of 1.2Amps. The rated input voltage of the camera is also12v.

KEY FUNCTIONS The excelPTZ dome range – The excelPTZ dome is a hi-tech CCTV product. It incorporates a high-clarity colour camera, panoramic speed-variable PAN/TILT, multifunctional decoder and on-board processor for logic handling. The dome is easy to connect, install, maintain and operate and has many features.
Getting the dome up and running! You MUST connect up the dome and your control equipment on a workbench or kitchen table before the actual site installation and CHECK YOU KNOW HOW TO INSTALL IT CORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. By doing this you can set-up any DIP switches, adjust the camera, and learn about how it operates before taking it to site.

Equipment Cable Needed Dome 1. Data signal CAT5 cable Keypad or Keypad You can also send the video signal back along a second pair in a CAT5 cable using baluns. 2. Video signal RG59 or similar You can combine both the video and power into one cable if you wish using composite cable.

PLEASE NOTE - Using inferior cables, or installing the dome in an environment with strong electromagnetic interference, or connecting a lot of PTZ domes to the same cable carrying the RS485 signal will reduce the maximum transmitting distance. 3. RS485 Connection methods METHOD 1 –DAISY CHAIN CONNECTION.

such as signal reflections may arise, especially when there are long cable connections. The results are that control signals are decreased and the dome may not respond to, or just responds intermittently to the controller. If your STAR circuit is not too extensive with each spur in the region of 20-50 metres expect quite...

the installation design and gives a more flexible approach to cabling which itself can save time and money on the installation. Not forgetting you get more predictable results! The RS485 distributor (PTZ750) amplifies the RS485 control signal and distributes it evenly to 4 separate spurs, each spur can have up to 4 domes.
Setting up the Dome Camera 1. Connection of the System There are many ways to wire up a PTZ system. If you have read the introduction at the beginning of these instructions you should have got a good idea what your options are. Below is a general schematic diagram showing you some of these options.
Powering the domes- All the domes will need power. For this dome it is a 12v DC power supply. The power supply must be capable of delivering at least 1.2A per dome. You can either power each dome with its own PSU locally to it or have the PSU’...

The PTZ730 and PTZ700 are two keypads that can be used PTZ730 keypad with the PTZ120 range. On the rear of the keypads you will see the RS485 connections. Ensure they are connected correctly i.e the RS485 + A line and the RS485 – B line.
Connecting the video out of the dome. The dome has a short BNC lead attached to it, this is the lead that carries the video signal from the built-in camera. You need to extend this lead to the “ VIDEO-IN” of the DVR or monitor. Use a good quality RG59 coax cable or similar to do this.

If you’ re using more than one dome on a site Each dome has a unique “ address” so that if you are using more than one on a site the keyboard “ talks” to the right dome when you want it to PTZ. If you only have the one dome on the site then the default “...
Setting up a unique ADDRESS in a dome – SW1 is used to set address of the dome camera from 1 – 1023. To set the dome address at 1 put switch 1 up. To set the dome at address 2 put switch 2 up To set the dome at address 3 put switches 1 &...

2. Setup of the Protocol and the Default Baud Rate. As shown in Table 2, SW2 is used to set the protocol of communication and the baud rate used by the dome camera. DIP-4 to DIP-1 of SW2 is used to select protocols and a maximum of 16 different protocols can be selected..

Setup of the Baud Rate of Communication. As shown in Figure 2, SW2 is used to set the protocol of communication and the baud rate used by the dome camera. DIP-6 and DIP-5 of SW2 are used to select the baud rate of communication and 4 different baud rates can be selected in maximum.
Using the PTZ730 keypad with the excelPTZ series NOTE 1: For more detailed instructions in setting up the keypad or using one of our other keypads, please refer to the instruction manual supplied with the product. NOTE 2: The PTZ730 keypad requires you to press the function key first followed by the value e.g <CAM>...
PRESETS and other functions. The dome has up to 64 presets that once programmed with stay in the domes non-volatile memory so they will be retained even after a power cut. What is a preset? A preset is a particular area or object that the dome was looking at and has been stored into its memory so when the preset is “...
PRESETS -How to set up a preset using PTZ730 Aim the dome where you want it to look, zoom in or out to get the correct scene and let the camera auto focus. Now press the following keys PRESET xx Enter (where xx is the preset number you wish to store).
Tours – How to set them up and use them A tour is simply a collection of preset camera locations that are run in sequence with the dome stopping at each location for a brief period then moving on to the next preset. For example, you could use a tour so that an outside dome camera points at a gate, then at a side doorway then zooms out to get an overall shot of a car park finally zooming in on a delivery bay before repeating the whole cycle again.
Built-In ZOOM CAMERA MODULE The zoom module within the dome has a built in camera. You can adjust some of its parameters by entering its On-Screen-Graphics display. (OSD) To bring up the camera menu press CALL 57 Enter. The camera’ s OSD is then displayed on the screen.
Installation Steps Mounting Base 2. Outer Tube 3. Shading Cover 4. Outer Cover 5. Camera 6. Connecting Cable 1. Carefully read the Installation and Operational Manual before you start the installation. It is recommended that you set up and test the dome in your workshop. 2.

5. Fit the connection cable to the dome and secure the dome to the ceiling-mounting base by aligning the latches on the dome with the notches on the mounting base and by twisting in a clockwise direction. If the connection cable cannot be installed through the ceiling-mounting base, you can open up a hole on the edge of the casing for running the cable.
