About the DIP switch settings
The transmission between the motor and the camera will not work if the camera uses a different protocol and bit rate than the motor. For cameras with a different protocol than the Pelco-D and bit rate of 2400 bps, the dip switches must be changed, see Change the DIP switch settings, on page 10.
Note:
The default factory settings of the YP3040 Pan-Tilt Motor are the Pelco-D protocol and a bit rate of 2400 bps. This means that the DIP switch settings do not need to be changed when using the motor with an Axis network camera with the Pelco-D protocol.
The YP3040 Pan-Tilt Motor has two sets of 8 digital DIP switches.

The 8 switches on the left-hand side are used to select functions such as protocol, bit rate, and terminal resistance. The 8 switches on the right-hand side are used to select multiple unique addresses when connecting several units in a series through a multi-channel video server. There are 255 different switch combinations.
Note:
In a typical installation only the one default address is required.
Change the DIP switch settings
- Loosen the 4 side panel mounting screws and remove the side panel.
- Set the 8 switches to select functions. Switches 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used to select the PTZ control protocol. Switch 7 is always OFF. Switch 8 is used to connect a terminal resistance of 120 , switch to ON when required.
| S e l e c t | f | u | n | c | t | i | o | n | |
| Protocol Pelco-D (default) ON ON OFF OFF | |||||||||
| Pelco-P OFF ON OFF OFF | |||||||||
| AD/AB OFF OFF ON OFF | |||||||||
