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.
KEY FUNCTIONS The excelPTZ dome range – The PTZ505 range of domes are hi-tech CCTV products. They incorporate a high-clarity colour camera, panoramic speed-variable PAN/TILT, multifunctional decoder and on-board processor for logic handling. The domes are easy to connect, install, maintain and operate and have 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.

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.

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.

separate spurs, each spur can have up to 4 domes. This means that you could theoretically have up to 4 individual spurs of over 1000mtrs each to control up to 16 PTZ domes in total. Ideally you would put just one dome on each spur from the PTZ750 but up to 4 domes is generally acceptable.
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.

PTZ730 keypad The PTZ730 and PTZ700 are two keypads that can be used with the PTZ505 series. 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.

PRESETS and other functions. The dome has up to 64 presets that once programmed will 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 “...
If you wish to use the auto scan function YOU MUST USE preset 52 as the starting point of the scan and preset 53 as the ending point of the scan. Note that when using the Pelco-D, Pelco-P or Santachi protocols, an alternative preset number 64 may be more suitable in some keypads.
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.
On Screen Graphics (OSD) – changing the modules settings 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.
