2 INTRODUCTION

The EKB 500 universal keyboard was developed for both DVR remote control and telemetry control of speed domes and telemetry receivers.

Ergonomic key alignment and the integrated jog/shuttle allow the convenient EverFocus DVR operation.

2 independent RS-485 interfaces enable installations with different telemetry protocols.

The new firmware 1.5 allows easier operation also in complex systems with several DVR and PTZ - cameras.

2.1 FEATURES

  • independent loop-through RS-485 ports, programmable with different protocols
  • Protocol types: EverFocus, ED2200/2250 (Samsung Electr.), Pelco-D, Pelco-P, Panasonic, LG
  • 3-axis joystick for convenient pan / tilt / zoom control
  • Jog/Shuttle and separate keypad for DVR control
    • Housing allows countersunk installation
  • Integrated double-spaced LCD display

2.2 CHANGES FROM FIRMWARE 1.5 COMPARED TO FORMER VERSIONS

  1. Main-, Call- and Matrix monitors are operated with same input procedures.
  2. Cameras are operated with same input procedure for all types of monitors.
  3. The keyboard detects automatically, if a camera has PTZ function or not and signalize PTZ devices with "PTZ" in the LCD display.
  4. The keyboard detects automatically, if a selected monitor is a DVR main monitor and signalizes selected main monitors with "DVR" in the LCD display. All DVR related functions such as playback, search, and multiview are active then.
  5. Telemetry control will switch automatically with selecting a camera, also for main monitor operation.
  6. The former "DVR-mode" with DVR key is cancelled. DVR key is inactive.
  7. Even if only Main monitors are installed in the system, all monitors and cameras of the system have to be defined in setup menu.

4 KEYBOARD CONNECTORS

4.1 RS-485 PORTS

EKB-500 provides two independent RS-485 ports with 2 RJ-45 plugs each (loop-through). Pin assignment:

Delivery comprises a connector box for RS-485 and 12 VDC power supply connection enabling power supply connection either directly to the EKB 500 keyboard or through the connector box.

4.2 RS-232 CONNECTOR

The 9-pin Sub-D connector is used for service purposes, e.g. keyboard update with new firmware.

4.3 POWER CONNECTOR

Use the 5,5 mm socket for connecting the 12 VDC power supply. Centre pin is + 12 VDC. The power supply may be installed either through this socket or through the included connector box.

5 INSTALLATION

5.1 GENERAL RS-485 BUS INSTALLATION

EKB 500 uses an RS-485 simplex wiring; the signal is transferred via a single twisted pair line.

CAT5 network cable is recommended, UTP version (unshielded) is sufficient for normal application. A shielded cable should be used if the installed cables are expected to be highly susceptible to interferences.

The number of devices installed in one bus is limited to 32 (expandable through signal distributors), while max. 8 EKB 500 keyboards may be installed in one system.

Basically, the bus should be created by serial wiring.

    B --> E["120 Ohm"]

Maximum RS-485 bus cable length is 1200 m.

    E --> F["max. 2m!"]
    F --> G["Receiver 3"]
    G --> H["120 Ohm"]

Maximum cable length from box to device is 2m using connector boxes.

Star wiring is permitted only with signal distributors.

    style D fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
    note1["WRONG!"]

RS-485 signal distributors may be used for star wiring. The maximum system cable length can also be expanded by using these distributors, physically providing a new RS-485 bus with 1200 m cable length each at every distributor output.

    C -->|120 Ohms| F
    D -->|120 Ohms| G

In case the maximum number of 32 bus participants is exceeded, the number of connected devices can be increased by using RS-485 distributors. Each distributor output physically provides one RS-485 bus which enables the additional connection of 31 further devices (the distributor output represents one bus participant itself).

The maximum system expandability depends on the RS-485 address range of the installed devices.

    D --> H["Receiver 62"]
    E --> I["120 Ohm"]

Attention: Most RS-485 signal distributors (e.g. EDA997A) are unidirectional! This means that the signal only flows from the input towards the outputs. Therefore, e.g. the interconnection of several EKB 500 keyboards is not possible with this signal distributor!

Basic functions of speed domes and telemetry receivers compatible to Pelco-D / -P protocol can be controlled with the EKB 500 keyboard if a simplex RS-485 connection option is provided. For general connection, please refer to the chart illustrated above.

Applied protocol type: Pelco-D / Pelco-P (in accordance with dome / receiver)

ATTENTION: Some Pelco-D / -P protocol domes and receivers require an address offset of -1 at the keyboard, i.e. the address assigned to the dome / receiver in the EKB 500 menu must be 1 below the address set in the dome / receiver itself!

5.5 EVERFOCUS DVR CONNECTION

The EKB 500 keyboard can control the following digital video recorders:

EDSR series (despite EDSR100 19" model)

EDR series (MPEG-4 series)

EDVR series

Paragon series

Installation with standard network cable:

For short distances, EKB 500 can directly be connected using a standard network cable (patch cable, uncrossed!).
