Panasonic RX550 Installation Manual page 4

2. INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
The Rx450 is designed to control 24Vac/230Vac operated pan/tilt mechanisms and the
Rx550 is designed to control 24Vdc high/variable speed heads from a Panasonic RS485
telemetry control system.
The receivers can be connected using either a daisy chained or star wired RS485
network depending upon the model of Panasonic controller used. 4 wired star wired
telemetry is preferred. If the control system has only a single telemetry output a BBV
STARCARD/CONVERTER can be used to allow star wiring of the site.
The receiver is supplied in an IP67 rated enclosure. It will be necessary to make suitable
holes in the enclosure to permit cable entry and exit. Adequately rated cable glands and
or flexible conduit should be used at all times to avoid compromising the protection
afforded by the enclosure as supplied. Any holes made in the enclosure for any other
purpose should be sealed with a non-hardening waterproof sealant, taking care to ensure
that the internal electronics are not contaminated. Enclosure mounting holes are
provided at the corners of the enclosure outboard of the seal between enclosure and lid.
