Connecting the Remote Keyboard
The remote keyboard is supplied with a 2m length of 485-bus cable; this is used to connect the
keyboard to either of the 485-bus ports on the Dedicated Micros DVR.
The remote keyboard can also be connected over longer distances, up to 1500m (4900ft), using
2 junction boxes (DM/CJ01), a 12v 1A PSU, and the required length of twisted pair cable, for
example CAT5.
The remote keyboard is compatible with the following Dedicated Micros Digital Recorders:
• Digital Sprite 2 range.
• BX2 range.
• D4 range.
A single remote keyboard can be connected to multiple (up to 16) DS2 or BX2 units. Multiple
remote keyboards can be connected to a single DS2 or BX2 unit.
The D4 unit supports a single remote keyboard and a keyboard can only be connected to a
single D4.

following additional benefits:
