PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Precautions
• Any changes or modications to this camera which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the camera.
• A regulated 24 Vac 2.5 A power supply is recommended for use with this camera for best picture and the stable operation. An
unregulated power supply can cause damage to the camera. Any use of an unregulated power supply will void the product

• Use this camera with a CCTV quality monitor with a 75 Ω input impedance. If your monitor is congured for high impedance,
then adjust it accordingly before connecting the camera to it.
• Never point the camera towards the sun or any bright or reected light. Very bright light may cause smear on the picture and
possible damage to the camera imager.
• Do not remove the product label. It is important for warranty service.
Important Safety instructions
• Read and follow the instructions contained manual. Keep this manual for future reference.
• Heed all warnings.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the instructions included herein.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliers).
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched.
• Only use attachments and accessories specied by your dealer.
• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, or bracket specied by the manufacturer or sold with the camera. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the cart/camera combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus is damaged, such as a faulty power
supply cord or plug, or objects have fallen into the unit, it does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

A 2 foot camera module drop cable is routed into the mounting bracket and attached to trunk cables there. Trunk cables for HD-SDI
video, composite video, power, alarms and RS-485 can be routed either through conduit connected to the conduit port, or in
through the base of the mounting bracket.
1.2 System conguration
The following illustration shows a typical PTZ camera network that includes multiple cameras, a PTZ controller, a video distribution
box (J-box), multiplexer, DVR/VCR, and a monitor.

32MP 12X PTZ HD-SDI/HDcctv Dome Camera
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
In the diagram above, video output from each camera on the network is applied to a distribution box (J-box), then connected to a
multiplexer, DVR/VCR, and monitor.
The PTZ features of the cameras are controlled across an RS-485 network with a PTZ controller. Up to 99 BLK-HDPTZ12 cameras can
be attached to a single RS-485 network.
1.2.1 RS-485 network termination
RS-485 networks are usually congured as a series of point-to-point (multidrop) nodes, a line or a bus (star or ring congured
networks are not recommended). Termination resisters are required for devices at the ends of the bus to reduce signal reections
in the network that can cause data corruption. The value of each termination resistor should be equal to the cable characteristic
impedance, typically 120 ohms for twisted pair cable. In the following illustration of network examples, the grayed devices are
congured to apply termination to the RS-485 bus.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
SECTION 2
Installation
2.1 General Guidelines
• The camera drop cable connects to the network cables (RS-485, alarm in/out, HD-SDI video out, 24 Vac power leads) inside
the mounting bracket provided with the camera. A cable access cover on the underside of the mounting bracket allows access
to cable connections, and to the composite video monitoring drop.
• Network cables can be routed into the mounting bracket through conduit attached to the underside of the mounting bracket,
or through the mounting bracket mounting.
• Hardware conguration switches (for camera ID, video mode, RS-485 protocol, etc.) are accessible when the camera dome
cover is removed.
• Position the camera in a location where it provides the best visibility of your surveillance targets, and is dicult to tamper with
or damage.
• Use extra care to avoid damaging the camera dome cover.
2.2 Install the mounting bracket
1. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the location of the mounting screw/wall anchor holes. Although bolts,
washers and wall anchors are included with the camera, these may not be appropriate for the surface where the bracket will
be attached. Always use the appropriate mounting hardware to ensure that the bracket is securely attached to the mounting
surface.

2. Drill holes in the mounting surface for the wall anchors (if used) or mounting bolts.
—If the network cables will be routed into the mounting bracket where it attaches to the wall, drill an appropriate hole
for the network cables.
3. Attach the mounting bracket securely to the mounting surface using appropriate mounting hardware.
4. If conduit will be used to shield the network cables, install the conduit and attached it to the mounting bracket.
5. Remove the cable access cover from the mounting bracket.
6. Route the network cables (RS-485, alarm in/out, HD-SDI video, 24 Vac power leads) into the mounting bracket.
2.3 Set the camera hardware conguration switches
The camera hardware conguration switches are located inside the camera module. These conguration switches set the camera
device ID, video mode (NTSC or PAL), and RS-485 protocol, baud rate, and termination state.
1. Remove the camera module from the packaging and place it on a at, clean surface.
2. Remove the three screws securing the dome cover and set it apart from the camera module. Note that the dome cover is
connected to the camera module with a retaining cable (not shown below).

SW301 SW303SW302
PTZ camera
Camera hardware switches (looking into the camera with dome removed)
SW301, SW302 switches
The SW301 and SW302 rotary switches are used to set the camera ID number in hexadecimal notation as follows:
—SW301: set to the left digit of the two-digit device ID in hexadecimal.
—SW302: Set to the right digit of the two-digit device ID in hexadecimal.
In the example above, SW301 is set to “0” and SW302 is set to “1”. Therefore, the device ID is set to “01” hexadecimal (0x01),
which equates to an ID = 1 decimal). See “Table 1. SW301, SW302 switch setting (Camera ID) reference” on page 7.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
SW303 switch
The SW303 block switch contains 5 on/o switches. These switches are used as follows:
—Switch 1 (video mode):
»ON: CVBS is NTSC
»OFF: CVBS is PAL
—Switch 2 (RS-485 protocol)
»ON: Pelco P / D
»OFF: Pelco P/ Others
—Switches 3 and 4 are used together to set the RS-485 baud rate as shown in the table below.
Switch 3 Switch 4 Baud rate
O O 2400
O On 4800
On O 9600
On On 38400
—Switch 5 sets the state of the RS-485 network termination:
»ON: RS-485 terminated
»OFF: RS-485 not terminated
4. Reattach the dome cover to the camera module with the three screws removed earlier.
2.4 Attach the camera module to the mounting bracket
CAUTION
When handling the camera with the dome cover attached, be extremely careful not to scratch or damage the dome cover.
1. Lift the camera module to mounting bracket, then route the camera drop cable into the bracket and out through the cable
access opening.

—Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. To remove stains, gently rub the surface with
a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with a soft cloth.
—Remove all foreign particles, such as plastic or rubber materials, attached to the camera housing. These may cause
damage to the surface over time.
