1) Controller function button 2) Setting method of Junction box
- Camera controls 1
This is the input and output terminal. Connect 485+ to data + and 485–
to data –.
When you communicate with RS-485, the left switch of Junction box
must be set backward.
When you communicate with RS-422, the left switch of Junction box
must be set forward.
- Camera controls 2
Same as camera control 1.
- Sub Keyboard
Sub keyboard must be used only with sub keyboard and linked with
same line.
n communicating with RS-485, the right switch of Junction box must be
set backward (DC Jack direction).
In communicating with RS-422, the right switch of Junction box must
be set forward.
- Junction box’ s input and output terminal
This terminal informs you that the data in/out in electronic transmission
of long distance, can be used as a data in/out transmission signal in
communicating with RS-485.
In transmitting from keyboard to camera, you have to exteriorly pull up
because, the camera receive reversely, such as when you send “high”,
you get “low”, so pull up outside.
“Exteriorly pull up” is?
Don’ t put pull up resistance to collector of Transistor and make ’The
line driver’ pull up, then it can function normally.
