DC12V input through this interface.
Communication interface: Connect to RS485 of dome or PTZ

camera. T+ is connected to RS485+ and T- to RS485-. R+ and
R- are reserved.
Power indicator: It shows the present power status. Light on
means power connected well.
COMM indicator: When keyboard connect to dome camera or
PTZ, this light is on.
2.2 External Connection
Please read the user manual carefully before any connection.
Any wrong connection may cause the device damaged
permanently. When you connect the device, please make sure
the power of all devices are off. Communication cable used
between the devices connection must be twisted-pair cable with
shielding. When cable is set up, high voltage line or other
interfering line should be avoided as much as possible.
Keyboard cannot be cross-connected when connecting with
other communication devices. Anode must be to anode, cathode
to cathode. As shown below:

The control system of controlling multiple dome cameras is as
below:
Notice: Before using the keyboard to control dome camera,
please make sure the address, protocol, baud rate of the
keyboard is set the same to the dome or PTZ camera. Otherwise,
the dome or PTZ camera can’t be controlled.

3 Operation
3.1 Keyboard Self-detection
Fig 3.1.1 Fig 3.1.2
After power on, the keyboard take the following actions
automatically:
A. Self-detecting: The first line of LCD display shows
“SYSTEM STARTUP”.
The second line shows “<” and “<” increases successively
till it fills the screen with one sound “di” as Fig 3.1.1.
If keyboard sound is turned on, “<” increases successively
with sound “di,di…” as Fig 3.1.1.
B. After self-detection finishes: Get the current parameters
automatically and clear the contents of the second line on
the LCD display.
The first line of LCD display shows “PELCO-D 2400 000”.
They are communication protocol, baud rate, address
respectively as Fig 3.1.2.
3.2 Joystick Operation
Using joystick can control PTZ or dome camera’s rotation,
pan-tilt direction and speed. Changing the tilt angle of joystick
can adjust speed even.

Vector joystick outline is as below:
Vector Joystick has three main functions as following:
(1) Control dome camera rotation: Rocking the joystick in
any direction, camera moves in appropriate direction. At the
same time, the LCD displays "PTZ <<<<<". Controlling rocker
of rotary speed of inclination can control the speed of the
camera. More "<" displays on LCD screen, joystick tilts more,
and the speed of camera is faster. Less "<" displays on LCD
screen, joystick tilts less, and the speed of camera is slower.
(2) Zoom Adjust (special function of 3D keyboard): Rotate
the joystick grip to adjust focal length of the lens. Clockwise
rotation of Joystick grip, zoom in and the image gets closer and
larger; Counterclockwise rotation of joystick grip, zoom out and
image gets farther and smaller.
When rotating the joystick, the LCD will display
"PTZ<<<<<". The number of "<" stands for the speed of zoom.
More "<", zoom speed is faster. Less "<", zoom speed is slower.

When there is nothing in the second line on LCD as Fig
3.5.1, number keys [2], [8], [4], [6] can be used as up, down, left
and right keys to control PTZ or dome camera left and right
rotation as the function of joystick. But the rotation speed is the
fastest and no grades to select, shown as 3.5.2 (e.g key [2]).
Fig 3.5.1 Fig 3.5.2
After entering menu, joystick has no function to control PTZ
or dome camera. It can only be used as up or down to flip the
menu page and left or right to change the parameters of menu.
Number keys [0], [1], [3], [5], [7], [9] are invalid. [2], [8], [4], [6]
are used as up, down, left and right keys. They are not used as
number keys at this time. Their functions are just to flip the menu
page but not to control PTZ or dome camera’s up, down, left or
right rotation. Only after exiting menu and when there is nothing
in the second line on LCD, they can control dome camera’s up,
down, left and right rotation.
When setting [ADDRESS], number keys [0], [1], [3], [5], [7],
[9] restore the number keys’ function. [2], [8], [4], [6] restore the
number keys’ function and don’t have up, down, left and right
