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 24v AC power supply. The rated input voltage of the camera is 12V!!!! This gets its power from the dome and does not require a separate PSU.
The dome is compact with a modern and appealing appearance. The Economic range of excelPTZ is obviously manufactured to a tighter budget than the standard excelPTZ range. The key differences are in the dome construction, which is plastic but metal in the other ranges. The wall bracket is also plastic and is not as robust as the metal wall bracket in the 300 and 400 series domes.
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 Keypad or CAT5 cable You can also send the video signal back along a second pair in a CAT5 cable using baluns. Note you cannot send 24v AC power down CAT5. 2. Video signal RG59 or similar You can combine both the video and power into one cable if you...

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.

..Main controller Daisy-Chain connection WITH SHORT SPURS for the RS485 PTZ control signal (one main radial with very short spurs to each dome off it, keeping the spurs to less than 7 meters) TIP - The connection of a 120 termination resistor: The termination resistor is ready fitted on the domes pcb, all you have to do, to set it, is move switch 10 to ON on the SW1 dip switch.
If your STAR circuit is not too extensive with each spur in the region of 20-50 meters expect quite good reliable performance using this technique. If you experience any problems though, there is a RS485 distribution box available CODE PT750 to help overcome any problems. The Star circuit for wiring PTZ’...

Ideally you would put just one dome on each spur from the PTZ750 but up to 4 domes is generally acceptable. The following diagram shows a typical use of the PTZ750 RS485 distributor. In the following example and diagram, domes 1,4,5 and 7 are at the end of each spur and therefore require the 120ohm resistor enabling by moving the DP10 dip switch setting to ‘...
Setting up the Dome Camera 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.

power supply or a cable with too much voltage drop may stop the dome from working properly. When winter comes don’ t be suddenly caught off guard when your customer rings you to say the dome has suddenly packed in because it’ s gone cold!! A popular way to power the domes is using our COMPOSITE VIDEO cable (or shotgun as its also known) as this cable can carry the power to the dome and the video signal back to the monitor or DVR.

that if you have to swap the A & B lines over at the keyboard you know all domes are wired the same!! PTZ400 series adopts following RS485 convention; ORANGE = RS485 + or A YELLOW = RS485 – or B You should initially be wiring the dome to the keyboard or DVR on your workshop bench or at least your kitchen table to prove you know how to get everything to work.
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.

Setting the PTZ dip switches In order that the PTZ dome can communicate with a control keyboard or DVR, it needs to be set with communication parameters. These are the communication Protocol and the Baud Rate plus a unique numeric address.
Setting up a unique ADDRESS in a dome – SW1 is the dip switch used to set the address of the dome camera from 1 – 511. This dome uses binary notation to allocate the dome address. Note that switches 1 – 9 are used for the dome address and switch 10 is used to set the 120 ohm resistor.
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-1 to DIP-4 of SW2 is used to select protocols and a maximum of 16 different protocols can be selected.

Using the CCT786 and CCT768 keyboard with the excelPTZ series NOTE: For MINI 2D Keyboard type PTZ700 please refer to the instructions supplied with the actual PTZ700 keyboard. The CCT768 & CCT786 keyboards require a 12V PSU (350ma) that is usually the plug in type.
AUTO SCAN- How to run it. Auto-scan scans between two points. STEP 1 - Select the required camera by entering <camera address> and pressing the CAM button on the keypad. STEP 2 - Remove the screws in the two limit switches in the dome mechanism. STEP 3 - Using the joystick pan left or pan right, position the camera where you wish to start scanning from.
Installation Instructions 1. Requirement of Installation 1.1) Cables & Power Supply: Ensure suitable cables, transmission distance and power supplies are used for this installation. More information is available in the front of this manual. 1.2) Installation Fixing: For safety reasons ensure that adequate measures for fixing this dome are taken regarding the weight of the unit and the surface strength to which the unit is connected.

3. Installation Steps 3.1 Installation of Wall Mount fitting a) Select the position for installation on a secure wall, marking the four screw hole positions using the bracket support as a template. b) Drill four M8 size installation holes in the wall and fit the expansion screws. c) Fasten the support by four nuts and washers onto the wall.

3.3 Installation of the spherical Pan/Tilt and the Support a) Take out the spherical pan/tilt from the package. b) Thread the complex wires out of the support. c) Turn the spherical pan/tilt on the support as per the direction of the arrow. d) Fasten the spherical cover by lock screws (as per Figure 13).
IMPORTANT! 3.5 Removal of Camera Transit Lock Screw In order to protect the camera during the course of transportation, this screw may be used to secure the camera when leaving the factory. You must remove it before use. Failure to do this will damage the camera and dome.
Camera connection data 1) This dome uses voltage to control the camera zoom, focus and iris. Positive outputs control the zoom out, focus out and iris opening and negative voltage controls the zoom in, focus in and iris closing. 2) Output of Control Voltage of the Lens: ±DC12V. DIP SWITCHES...
