Aluminum Pendant Housing w/ Wall Mount (Pendant Housing Model) 3. Installation Manual 4. Mounting Hardware Available Models • NTSC: SC-S36N-PHW (Pendant Housing), SC-S36N-FMH (Flush Mount Housing) EasyTrak™ PTZ Dome Camera Dimensions See the diagram below for the exact dimensions for the EasyTrak ™ PTZ Dome Camera Dimensions.
2. Installation and Configuration 2.1.0 Typical System Configuration Additional Controller Keyboard and a variety of external switching devices such as Multiplexers (MUXes) and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) may be incorporated to accommodate the needs from a small to a large surveillance/security system. Figure.
2. Installation and Configuration 2.1.2 Connecting the EasyTrak™ PTZ Dome Directly to the DVR • Locate the RS-422 Rx+ & Rx- conductor wire from the EasyTrak™ PTZ dome. • Connect the RS-485 Tx(+)/ Tx(-) of the DVR into Rx(+)/Rx(-) of the PTZ dome camera.

2. Installation and Configuration 2.1.6 DIP Switch Layout Diagram EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera must be installed by a qualified service personnel only. Before installing this camera system, Instruction Manual must be read thoroughly and fully understood. This setup procedure involves proper setting of the configu- ration switches indicated below.
2. Installation and Configuration 2.1.7 EasyTrak™ PTZ Dome Camera Address (ID) Each EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera must have a unique address (ID). Identical IDs on the same line may damage the control circuit caused by an electrical short. When install- ing multiple cameras or a DVR, it is recommended that cameras ID’s be identical to the camera port of the DVR. Cam Port 1 = Dome ID 1, Cam Port 2 = Dome ID 2 ... Cam Port 16 = Dome ID 16. If more than 16 PTZ cameras are installed using two or more DVRs the following formula is usedful to determine the Dome ID: ID = 16x (n-1) +m (Where n = number of DVR, m = Camera Port) Refer to Figure. 8 for setting the EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera address (ID) and protocol selection. DOME ID 100 10 100 / 10 / 1: Indicates the digit placement of the Dome ID number.
2. Installation and Configuration 2.1.8 Setting Protocols EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera is capable of supporting multiple protocols if the com- munication speed is matched (same baud rate i.e., 9600 bps). All EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera comes with ‘Auto Detection’ as factory default for optimal performance. Note: Consult service personnel if the PTZ dome camera is installed with a device other than a recommended PTZ camera controller. Figure. 9 Illustrates the Protocol Selection Tables...
2. Installation and Configuration 2.1.9 Connections • How to Connect to RS-485 The EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera has built-in RS-485 receiver so that it can be con- trolled remotely by an external control device such as a Controller Keyboard or a DVR. RS-485: Connect the TXA (Tx+) and TXB (Tx-) of the RS-485 control devices (KBD, DVR...) to TRX+, TRX- of the dome camera. RS-485 does not allow for a star connection layout. A Splitter is required if a star con- nection layout is desired. RS-485 guarantees 1.2 Km of data line routing. A Repeater is recommended to extend over 1.2 Km. • Connecting the Video Output Refer to Figure. 2 - Basic Installation Diagram • Connecting the Alarms AL1 to 8 (Alarm In) Magnetic, PIR or other external sensor devices can be used to signal the PTZ camera reacting to an event. Refer to Chapter 3.2 - Program and Operation for configuring alarm input. GND (Ground) Note: All the connectors marked GND are common. Connect the ground of the Alarm input and(or) the Alarm Output to the GND connector.

2. Installation and Configuration 2.1.9 Connections (Continued) • NO / NC (Normally Opened or Normally Closed dry contact relay output) EasyTrak™ PTZ dome camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights using dry contact relays. Connect the device to the NO (NC) (Alarm Out) and COM (Common) connectors. See Chapter 3 - Program and Operation for configuring alarm output. • Connecting the Power Connect the AC 24V 40VA power to the camera. Use certified / Listed Class 2 power supply transformer only.
2. Installation and Configuration 2.2.0 Mounting the EasyTrack™ PTZ Dome Camera Make sure that all the DIP switches are properly configured, and the external connections all properly connected before mounting the PTZ camera to any surface. The EasyTrak™ PTZ camera is designed to mount on a structural body supporting load of up to 5 Kg. Figure. 10 Example of Typical Ceiling Mounted Installation. INSTALLING THE CAMERA HEAD TO THE HOUSING BASE 1. Firmly hold the PTZ camera head as illustrated above. 2. Look carefully at the base of the camera head (PTZ module) and the base of the camera housing (enclosure) making certain that the 20-pin connector are on the same side. Rotate the camera head if necessary. 3. Align the latch hooks on both sides of the camera head and at the base of the camera housing, then push firmly until one hook snaps into place. 4. Snap the other remaining latch hook into place. 5. Once both sides are securely latched on, screw in the lock-screws located at the adjacent sides of the latch hooks.
2. Installation and Configuration 2.2.1 Power On & Boot-Up Sequence When the EasyTrak™ PTZ camera is powered up, it will automatically start the boot-up sequence.

(Alarm held time) Latch: ON (Shows ALL Alarms including past Alarm), OFF (Shows ACTIVATED Alarms ONLY) As indicated above, to set any sophisticated functions, such as Pattern, Scan, or Tour, you must set the ‘Pri’ (Priority) to zero. It is important to note that when an Alarm is triggered at two separate locations simultaneously, the camera can only follow one direction at a time. And because of this, it is recommended that all priority numbers be different across 8 alarm inputs. Note: There are total of 9 levels (Including 0) of priority. Levels 1~8 supports Presets (Pxx) only. However, the highest priority level ‘0,’ supports higher functions such as Pat- tern (Pxx), Scan (Axx), and Tour (Txx).
