1.4.2. EPTZ Base Board
The base board that is inside the top housing connects to power cable, video cable,
control cable, alarm cable and fan. The housing must be removed in order to properly
connect the cables. The connectors of cable names are marked on the board in white text.
The details of the alarm connector are shown on the APPENDIX.
There are 4 alarm inputs and 2 alarm outputs available, represented by Pin 1~12. Pin 13
and 14 are video pins for connecting to video cable. Pin15~16 are RS485 pin for
connecting to keyboard. Pin 17 and 18 are power pin for connecting to 24VAC power.

1.5. EPTZ Quick Operation Guide (Work with EKB500)
EPTZ 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 EPTZ and a keyboard (EKB500).
2. Connect a video cable from EPTZ to a monitor.
3. Connect the power to the EPTZ and a keyboard (EKB500).
After the EPTZ finishes the self-test mode, you can start to operate the EPTZ via the
keyboard.
To operate the speed dome:
IRIS
+Focus F. Zoom In
- N. Out
UP
DOWN
LEFT RIGHT
ZoomINZoomOUT
1. Move the Joystick up/down or right/left to shift the camera view in that
direction.
2. Twist the top of the Joystick to zoom in/out.
3. Press the Zoom In/Out, Focus F./N., or IRIS +/- keys to manually operate
these functions.

2.2. Connections
Power Cable
An adapter with 24VAC/3.5A output provides the power to the EPTZ. An extension power
line may be needed.
Note: Different regions may use different ranges for AC voltage. Be sure to check the
voltage range in your area before installing.
Video Cable
A BNC cable is used for connecting an EPTZ to a DVR or a monitor. An amplifier may be
needed depending on the distance.
RS485 Cable
The yellow wire carries RS485+, and the orange wire carries RS485-. Connect these
wires to the EKB500 or other control device in order to control the PTZ camera.
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
powered up. The camera's control settings must match the ones in the control device

(such as a keyboard or DVR).
Notice: Please make sure the power is off while making changes. EPTZ must be restarted
before new values will take effect.
2.3.1. Address Setting
The address code of the EPTZ should be set to correspond properly with a control
device to control multiple dome cameras. The address is indicated by the dip switches
on the main camera body. The 8 switches correspond with the binary code of the
address, allowing up to 256 total addresses (0~255). It also means that there are up to
256 dome cameras that can cascade on the RS-485 bus. The dip switch setting and
the indicated address are represented in the following diagram.
Note: The factory default address is 1.

Note: You will see the label of Protocol & Baud Rate as well as RS-485 ID address show
on the speed dome. For example: for EVF protocol, white keys are all switched downward;
for ID Address 0, white keys are all switched downward.
