1. EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I OVERVIEW
1.1. Introduction
EPTZ2700 series has 2 types, EPTZ2700 is outdoor type whereas EPTZ2700I is
indoor type, using high sensitivity and high resolution CCD to display high quality
image. The design of ICR (IR cut filter removable) can provide real color even under
strong sunlight in day time. Under slight light in night time, a clear image can still be
displayed. WDR design allows the camera to be installed in any environment. Fast
moving function can reach to 360°/1sec. No matter high speed scanning or low speed
scanning, the solid base can avoid vibration. This full-functioned speed dome can
perform best quality images!

1.4. EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I Quick Operation Guide (Work with EKB500)
EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I and EKB500 (Keyboard) can work together by using factory
default setting. You just need to connect cables by the following steps:
1. Connect the RS-485 cable to EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I and a keyboard (EKB500).
2. Connect a video cable from EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I to a monitor.
3. Connect the power to the EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I and a keyboard (EKB500).
After the EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I finishes the self-test mode, you can start to operate
the EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I via the keyboard.
To operate the EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I:

2.2. Cable Needed
Power Cable
An adapter with 24VAC/3.5A output provides the power to the EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I. An
extension power line may be needed.
Note: The input AC voltage range of an adapter depends on different area.
Please make sure the voltage range before installing.
Video Cable
A BNC cable is used for connecting an EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I to a DVR or a monitor. An
amplifier may be needed if the video cable is too long.
RS485 Cable
Yellow wire represents RS485+, orange wire represents RS485-. Connect RS485 to
EKB500 and you will be able to control the speed dome by a keyboard. If you are unable
to control the speed dome with EKB500, it is probably due to a mis-connection. Please
try to switch RS485 wires and connect again.

2.3. Initial Setup
Initial setup includes dome address, communication protocol, transmission speed, and
terminal resistance settings. All of the settings should be confirmed before the dome is
installed. The control-related setting that is address, communication protocol and
transmission speed have to be set consistently with the control device such as a keyboard
or a DVR.
Notice: Please make sure the power is off before setting, and restart the
EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I to enable a new value after changing.
2.3.1. Address Setting
The address code of the EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I should be set to correspond properly
with a control device to control multiple dome cameras. The address codes are made
up by the dipswitch on the camera main body. The 8 bits dipswitch indicates the binary
coded of the address, and there are 256 addresses can be selected (0 ~ 255). It also
means that there are up to 256 dome cameras that can cascade on the RS-485 bus.
The dipswitch setting and the indicated address are represented in the following
diagram.
Note: The factory default address is 1.
Notice: Please make sure the power is off before setting, and restart the
EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I to enable a new value after changing.

2.3.2. Communication Protocol Setting
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits are used to set communication protocol. The factory default
protocol is EVF.
Notice: Please make sure the power is off before setting, and restart the
EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I to enable a new value after changing.
Set all of protocol switches to ON; the speed dome EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I will
enter a self-test mode.
2.3.3. Transmission Speed Setting (Baud Rate Setting)
The 4th and 5th bits on the PCB board are used to set the Baud Rate. The default baud rate
setting is 9600.

2.4. Bracket and Speed Dome Installation
2.4.1. Installation Requirements
1. Installation should be handled by a qualified service agent and should comply with
all local regulations. Service personnel should expect potential problems such as
surface strength, surface material, falling objects, outer breaches, building vibration
or other similar conditions.
2. Check for all necessary materials, and ensure if the selected installation location is
suitable for the EPTZ2700/EPTZ2700I.
