1. Please read the operation manual carefully before installing and operating the product. 2. The PTZ922 requires a 24v AC power supply. The rated input voltage of the camera in the PTZ is 12V!!!! This gets its power from the PTZ922 and does not require a separate PSU. Do not connect 24V AC to the camera under any circumstances!! 3.
It has a panoramic variable speed PAN/TILT movement, a multifunctional decoder, a character generator and an on-board processor for logic handling. The PTZ922 is easy to connect, install, maintain and operate, and has many special features. Its unique design and shape offers a more obvious deterrent with its infrared capability and robust construction.
c. Backlight Compensation: When the object to be shot has a dark background, the user can increase the backlight compensation accordingly. d. White Balance: If the image has incorrect colours displayed on the monitor, the user can use different modes to alter the white balance. There are 6 modes for selection: Indoor Mode, Outdoor Mode, Trigger Mode, Auto tracking White Balance, Manual White Balance and Automatic Mode.

Wiper Control The PTZ922 incorporates a wiper facility to clean the front glass cover. Note that the wiper is not a windscreen wiper as used in a car. The purpose of the wiper is to clear away dust on a periodic basis from the front glass lens cover without having to have physical access to the PTZ.
Generally speaking, PTZs require four things; 1- They require a power supply and a cable to supply this power to the PTZ. The PTZ922 operates on 24V A.C like many external PTZ domes but some mini pan and tilt domes are 12V.

PLEASE NOTE - Using inferior cables, or installing the PTZ 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.

STAR method of connection. In some circumstances you may need to adopt a star configuration for practical purposes. For instance, all the PTZs may be so scattered on a large site that running out separate spurs to each PTZ in a “ STAR” array is the only practical solution.
Page 13
are in effect correcting the STAR method of RS485 data distribution. As previously mentioned the problem with the Star method is that it is not actually designed for RS485 but generally works okay if you follow the previous notes on getting the 120 resistor setting right, as per the previous notes.
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 1.25A 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.

The PTZ730 and PTZ700 are two keypads that can be used PTZ730 keypad with the PTZ922 range. 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 PTZ. The PTZ922 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-4 to DIP-1 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 status...
Page 21
Setup of the Baud Rate. As shown in Figure 2, SW2 is used to set the protocol of communication and the baud rate used by the PTZ922 camera. DIP-6 and DIP-5 of SW2 are used to select the baud rate and 4 different baud rates can be selected. If the controller adopts a non-standard baud rate, you can adjust it to be identical with that of the controller, as per the following table.
Using the PTZ730 keypad with the excelPTZ series 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 PTZ922 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 “...
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 25
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. You will see the Main Menu displayed on the screen. Using the joystick up/down direction movement, select the PROGRAM menu. Use the joystick pan right movement to enter this menu.

Now exit the menu by moving the Joystick down, selecting EXIT and then moving the Joystick to the right to return to the Main Menu. Again use the Joystick to select EXIT and exit the Advanced Menu System by selecting the right pan movement. Calling the Patrol (Tour) There are two methods of initiating the patrol or tour.
AUTO SCAN- How to set it up Auto-scan scans between two points. These are not presets as per the patrol (tour) facility but auto scan selection points. You may program only one auto scan. STEP 1 – Select the required camera by entering <camera address> and pressing the CAM button on the keypad.
99 seconds at each of sixteen preset positions. In addition up to six different patrols (tours) can be stored each with different preset parameters whereas only one record pattern can be recorded. When a preset is stored the PTZ922 stores not only the preset position but also the camera attributes.
Page 29
Using the joystick up/down direction movement, select the PROGRAM menu. Use the joystick pan right movement to enter this menu. In the PROGRAM menu select RECORD PATTERN followed by pressing CLOSE button to save.

1. In the PTZ922 the address 1 is set as default in the factory. You need to alter the DIP-switches within the PTZs to address 2, 3 etc if you have multiple PTZs on the same site, refer to the previous instructions how to set the DIP Switches.
4. Connect the output wires of the socket according to relative colours on the schematic drawing. Ensure that the correct cables are used. Attention: refer to power label 5.

13) Connecting the Output Alarm In addition to the alarm inputs, the PTZ900 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.
