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 PTZ960 requires a 24v AC 2.5A power supply. The rated input voltage of the camera in the PTZ is 12V!!!! This gets its power from the PTZ960 and does not require a separate PSU.
KEY FUNCTIONS The Armoured PTZ960 – Description of Functions This intelligent armoured PTZ 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 PTZ960 is easy to connect, install, maintain and operate, and has many special features.
b. If you have an N camera module you will notice that there are different keyboard commands used. Extended commands are available by setting the MORE option in the Advanced menu so that for example a tour can be initiated using a CALL 65.

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 PTZ may not respond to, or just responds intermittently to the controller. If your STAR circuit is not too extensive with PTZ 1 each spur in the region of 20-50 metres you can...

spurs, each spur can have up to 4 PTZs. This means that you could theoretically have up to 4 individual spurs of over 1000 metres each to control up to 16 PTZs in total. Ideally you would put just one PTZ on each spur from the PTZ750 but up to 4 PTZs are generally acceptable. The following diagram shows a typical use of the PTZ750 RS485 distributor.
Setting up the PTZ 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.
Powering the PTZs- All the PTZs will need power. For this PTZ it is a 24V A.C power supply. The power supply must be capable of delivering at least 2.5A per PTZ. You can either power each PTZ with its own PSU locally to it or have the PSU’s remotely situated perhaps near the keyboard or DVR.
Page 15
The PTZ960 range adopts the 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 PTZ The PTZ960 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.

SW2 sets up the protocol. This switch is dealt with later in these instructions. For most System Q equipment they should always be set to PELCO-D 2400 baud rate. In the diagram this is correct. The Jumper on the far right either enables or disables the 120 resistor.
As shown in Table 2, SW2 is used to set the protocol and the baud rate used by the PTZ camera. DIP-1 to DIP-4 of SW2 is used to select protocols and a maximum of 16 different protocols can be selected. Pelco-D 2400 is used for most System Q equipment. DIP-5 and DIP-6 are for the baud rate.
Page 20
Some protocols and the setting of the dipswitches on normal baud rates for these protocols are shown as follows: NEON/ 9600Bps PANASO NI C/ 9600Bps PELCO - D/ 2400Bps KALATEL/ 4800Bps PELCO - P/ 4800Bps ALEC/ 9600Bps PELCO - P/ 9600Bps Ul t r ak/ 9600Bps Setup of the Baud Rate.
Using the PTZ730 keypad with the PTZ960 NOTE 1: For more detailed instructions in setting up the keypad or using one of our other keypads, please refer to the instruction manual supplied with the product. NOTE 2: The PTZ730 keypad requires you to press the function key first followed by the value e.g <CAM>...
PRESETS and other functions. The PTZ960 has up to 128 presets that once programmed will stay in the PTZ’s 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 PTZ was looking at and has been stored into its memory so when the preset is “called-up”...
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 PTZ 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 PTZ 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.
Page 24
Setting the Patrol (Tour) To setup the patrol/tour you need to enter the Advanced Menu System by selecting <CALL> 95 <Enter>on the keypad or <CALL> 64 <Enter>. (Call varies according to module type). You will see the Main Menu displayed on the screen. Enter the password to enter the menu.

Controlling one camera then another. If you look at the image of the LCD display you can see the CAM=001 indicates that the keyboard is ready to talk to camera with address 1. In the dome the address 1 is set as default in the factory. You need to alter the DIP-switches within the domes to address 2, 3 etc if you have multiple domes on the same site, refer to the previous instructions how to set the DIP Switches.
Installation Instructions Product Dimensions Installation Steps 1. Remove the bottom plate of the pan/tilt. 2. In accordance with the instructions detailed earlier in this manual set the address, protocol, baud rate and termination jumper. 3. Install the bottom plate of the pan/tilt and ensure that the waterproof seal is carefully located ensuring a good seal.

5. Board Mount Using the anti-shock device use it as a template for drilling mounting holes through the support. You will need to provide necessary bolts to hold the device securely. Now fit the anti-shock device top plate to the base of the PTZ with the four M8 bolts using one elastic gasket and one flat gasket on each bolt as per diagram below.
Page 55
7. Cable Connections There are two cable sockets, one 7 pin and one 10 pin. The 7 pin is for power, video and RS485 connection and the 10 pin for alarm connection. Note that the 24vAC PTZ960 has alarm connections but the 12vDC PTZ950 has no alarm connections.
4 channel alarm input activation & single channel alarm output One of the special features of this PTZ is that it has four in-built alarm channels to call four independent presets. This means that for example you may have a door contact and when the contact is closed, it sends a 0 volt alarm switch to the PTZ on one of the four alarm channels.
Page 57
Each of the four alarm channels call a different dedicated preset number when the 0v switch is detected by the PTZ. This allows the PTZ to move immediately to the selected preset position in an alarm condition. The following example shows how a preset can be triggered: when Alarm Channel No 1 is activated it calls preset number 29 when Alarm Channel No 2 is activated it calls preset number 30 when Alarm Channel No 3 is activated it calls preset number 31...

13) Connecting the Output Alarm In addition to the alarm inputs, the PTZ960 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.
