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 Description of Functions This intelligent dome camera is a hi-tech CCTV product, which incorporates a high-clarity colour camera. It has a panoramic variable speed PAN/TILT movement, a multifunctional decoder, a character generator and an on-board processor for logic handling. The dome is easy to connect, install, maintain and operate, and has many features.

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.

As the star configuration is not in conformity with the requirements of RS485 standards, problems such as signal reflections may arise, especially when there are long cable connections. The results are that control signals are decreased and the dome may not respond to, or just responds intermittently to the controller. If your STAR circuit is not too extensive with each spur in the region of 20-50 metres expect...

the installation. Not forgetting you get more predictable results! The RS485 distributor (PTZ750) amplifies the RS485 control signal and distributes it evenly to 4 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.
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.
The following table gives you an indication of the maximum lengths that you can achieve using this cable the composite cable and the PTZ680 – PTZ690 range domes. Power cable requirement – Assuming a starting voltage of 24V A.C is applied at the PSU end.

The PTZ730 and PTZ700 are two keypads that can be used PTZ730 keypad with the PTZ680 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.
If you use cores from two different pairs in the CAT5 cable you will not get the benefit of the shielding effect of the cable twists and the dome will function erratically. You must always use a core from a PAIR, not two cores from two different pairs!! Connecting the video out of the dome.

PRESETS and other functions. The dome has up to 128 presets that once programmed with 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 “...
Patrols (Tours) – How to set them up and use them A patrol (tour) is simply a collection of at least three preset camera locations that are run in sequence with the dome stopping at each location for a brief period of time and then moving on to the next preset. For example, you could use a patrol 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 and finally zooming in on a delivery bay, before repeating the whole cycle again.

Indoor embedded installation Note: To fit this dome into a ceiling, the thickness of the ceiling must be less than 1.65 inches (4.2 cm) but thicker than 0.38 inches (0. 8cm). The ceiling must withstand 4 times the load of the dome weight. Cut out the ceiling template supplied as per figure 19 and mark the centre point of the dome position on the ceiling.

Note: The alarm input must be a zero volt switch. Any voltage signals will damage the dome. When multiple alarm signals are triggered the dome will respond to them, one by one, and the response time interval will be 2 seconds. When more than one alarm signal is received, the dome will not respond to “...
Connecting the Input Alarm devices You will need to decide how many alarm channels will be utilised. For each alarm channel you will need a pair of cable connections and it is recommended that a CAT5 twisted pair be utilised. Connect one core to the selected input alarm channel and the other to the ground (GND) connection.
Connecting the Output Alarm In addition to the alarm inputs, this dome will activate an alarm output if an alarm input is triggered. There are two connections for the alarm output, a common and either a normally open or a normally closed connection. Again this is a 0 volt switch and could be used for example to close a circuit to an audible alarm, lighting or other warning devices.
Appendix A: Lightning Proof and Surge Signal Proof This product adopts TVS lightning proof technology to prevent damage by a lightning strike below 1500 W and surge impulse signals. However it is also necessary to ensure that the following precautions are taken to ensure electrical safety: Keep the communication cables at least 50 meters away from high voltage equipment or cables.
Appendix B: General Information The Cleaning of Clear Dome Cover To obtain constant clear images, the user should clean the dome cover periodically. Be very careful when cleaning. Hold the dome cover ring only to avoid touching the acrylic dome cover. The acid from fingerprints will corrode the coating and any scratches on the dome cover may cause distorted or poor images.
