Installation precautions
Check if the installation location is of sufficient height. Make sure installation spots (ceiling or wall) is of
sufficient strength to support camera and bracket without immediate danger of falling.
Avoid, during both the installation and the normal use, to rotate the camera with the hands and do not
move up and down manually the camera lens; this may damage the normal behaviour of the engine.
Please comply with RS485 wiring standards and select proper RS485 cable. Improper cable may result in
RS485 communication transmission error, which may cause an improper functioning of the camera itself.
Communication protocol and IR channel setup
To set communications parameters, dip switches of the block SW2 are available at the bottom of the
camera. Remembered that the standard use with NexusPub requires to set PELCO D protocol with baud
rate 9600 and that the use of the IR remote controller is recommended during the setup phase, here
there are the instruction for acting on the dip switches of block SW2

the connection of the proper RS-485 wire to the camera and to the Control Station has to be done through
the supplied installation accessories
SD Camera
In the five pins terminal for RS-422 and RS-485 connection supplied with the
camera, connect the RS485+ wire to PIN 3 and the RS485- wire to the PIN 4
HD Camera
In the four pins terminal supplied with the camera -in combination with
the breakout cable that needs to be connected to the VISCA OUT
connector in the rear of the camera-, connect the RS485+ wire to PIN
R+ and the RS485- wire to PIN R-
