Model AD2083-02C AD RS-422 Distributor Installation and Operation Instructions

Application Notes

For those installations that are upgrading to the AD2083-02C Code Distributor from versions AD2083-02B or
earlier, the following list highlights the changes between these versions.
•
There are seven (7) dome-stored presets for the legacy domes: SpeedDome (Unicard), SpeedDome (Duo-
Card), SpeedDome Ultra 1, and SpeedDome Ultra 2. Previously, there had been (16) host-stored presets.
•
There are sixty (60) dome-stored presets for the newer domes: SpeedDome Ultra 5 (ver. 3.07), SpeedDome
Ultra 6, SpeedDome Ultra 7, SpeedDome Ultra 7e, Optima, and Optima LT (up from (16) host-stored
presets).
• Proportional speed control for simplex RS-422 now supported. Simplex was not previously supported, and
full-duplex was required.
•
Address 64 in each bank of 99 cameras is now available. This camera address had been previously
reserved for host broadcasting.
•
The legacy MiniDome is not fully supported.

Installation

The universal cabinet of the AD2083-02C Code Distributor may be surface or rack mounted in any convenient
location with adequate ventilation.

Rack Mounting

As shipped, with the mounting ears flush with the front panel, the AD2083-02C Code Distributor can be mounted
into the front of a standard 19-inch rack. The ears of the AD2083-02C Code Distributor can be removed and
reinstalled such that they are flush with the rear panel. This allows the AD2083-02C to be mounted to the rear of a
rack that is equipped with mounting channels.
For proper ventilation allow at least three feet (1m) from the rear of the racks to any wall, and one EIA rack height,
1.75 inches (4.5cm), between units in a rack.

Wall Mounting

The Code Distributor can be mounted to the wall by reinstalling the ears perpendicular to the side of the unit. The
unit can be installed with either the bottom or the top cover facing the wall and the front or the rear panel facing
upwards.
