1.3. Feature

1.3.1. Profile of EPTZ900/500

1.3.2. Base Board

The base board that is on the bottom of the housing connects to power cable, video cable, control cable, alarm cable, fan and heater (fan and heater are for EPTZ900 only). In order to connect to cables, the board needs to be taken off, and put back after finishing connecting to all cables. The connectors of cable names are marked on the board in white text. The details of the alarm connector (JP5) are shown on the APPENDIX A.

For EPTZ900, JP1, JP3 and JP6 that are two-pin connectors on the base board need to be taken off during installation. JP1 and JP3 are connectors for heater, and they can be switched. JP6 is a fan controller connector that turns on/off of the fan. The 3 cables are too short to be connected to a wrong connector when putting them back.

1.3.3. EPTZ900/500 Control Board

The PCB board with two dipswitches is the control board of speed dome. The two switches are used to set address, protocol, Baud Rate, video format and terminator resistance.

1.4. EPTZ900/500 Connection

1.5. EPTZ900/500 Quick Operation Guide (Work with EKB500)

EPTZ900/500 and EKB500 (Keyboard) can work together by using factory default setting. You just need to connect cables by following the steps:

1. Connect the RS485 cable to EPTZ900/500 and a Keyboard (EKB500).
2. Connect a video cable from EPTZ900/500 to a monitor.
3. Connect the power to the EPTZ900/500 and a Keyboard (EKB500).

After the speed dome finishes the self-test mode, you can start to operate the speed dome via the keyboard.

To operate the EPTZ900/500:

1. Shift the Joystick up/down or right/left to view from camera.
2. Turn the top of the Joystick to zoom in/out.
3. Press Zoom In/Out, Focus F. /N. and IRIS +/- function keys to operate the EPTZ900/500.

2. EPTZ900/500 INSTALLATION

2.1. Packing List

2.2. Cable Needed

- Power Cable

An adapter with 24V AC/3.5A output provides the power to the speed dome. An extension power line may be needed.

Note: The input AC voltage range of an adapter depends on different area.

Please make sure the voltage range before installing.

- Video Cable

A BNC cable is used for connecting a speed dome to a DVR or a monitor. An amplifier may be needed if the video cable is too long.

- Control Cable

Basically, EPTZ900/500 uses a differential pair to connect to other devices by cascading. A cable that has low signal decline can be used as a control cable.

- Alarm Cable

An alarm cable is not included in the packing list. A suitable wire can be used as an alarm cable.

2.3. Initial Setup

Initial setup includes dome address, communication protocol, transmission speed, video format, and terminator resistance settings. All of the settings should be confirmed before the dome is installed. The control-related setting that is address, communication protocol and transmission speed have to be set consistently with the control device such as a keyboard or a DVR.

Notice: Please make sure the power is off before setting, and restart the speed dome to enable a new value after changing.

2.3.1. Address Setting

The address code of the EPTZ900/500 should be set to correspond properly with a control device to control multiple dome cameras. The address codes are made up by the dipswitch SW1 (8 bits) on the PCB board. The 8 bits dipswitch indicates the binary coded of the address, and there are 256 addresses can be selected (0 \~ 255, 2^8 = 256 ). It also means that there up to 256 dome cameras can cascade on the RS485 bus. The dipswitch setting and the indicated address are represented in the following chart.

Note: The factory default address is 1.

Notice: Please make sure the power is off before setting, and restart the speed dome to enable a new value after changing.

2.4. Rack and Speed Dome Installation

2.4.1. Installation Requirements

1. Installation should be handled by a qualified service agent and should comply with all local regulations. Service personnel should expect potential problems such as surface strength, surface material, falling objects, outer breaches, building vibration or other similar conditions.
2. Check for all necessary materials, and ensure if the selected installation location is suitable for the speed dome.

2.4.2. EPTZ900 Dome Camera Wall Mount Installation

Notice: Installation location that is a wall, a pole or a ceiling needs to support above five times the total weight of the camera assembly (about 16 kg) to avoid shaken images, and dropping.

1. Set wall mount bracket on the wall. Mark the center of the holes on the wall against the bracket holes. Use a drill to make 4 holes that can be nailed 4 0.25" X 1.25" screws at the marks.

Simple line drawing of a tool inserting into a wall socket (no text or symbols)

Notice: The length of the screws depends on the surface material. The mentioned screws are used in the normal concrete surface.
