1. EPTZ900/500 OVERVIEW
1.1. Introduction
EPTZ900/500, an intelligent high-speed dome camera is ready to secure your
property with its omni-directional and exact monitoring. An 18X optical and 12X digital
zoom combining with a high-performance chip makes captured images clear and
vivid. The other powerful camera functions this type of speed dome equips with:
¾PAL / NTSC image format suppose.
¾Auto and fast focus increases the searching speed and precision.
¾Auto Iris adjusts the monitoring image to the best brightness.
¾White Balance function makes the shades of color more natural in different
light conditions.
¾BLC (Backlight Compensation) function makes objects clear in a high
illumination background.
¾Color / B&W images auto switching to enhance the sensitivity in a low light
condition or at night.
Furthermore, the micro control unit enables camera a nimble and exact movement
from minimal 0.01°/sec to maximal 360°/sec. It can go to every preset position in 1
second. It also has other advantages such as:
¾192 preset positions are available.
¾16 cruise tours can be set, and each tour contains up to 16 positions.
¾Up to256 speed domes can be supported on a RS485 bus when all speed
domes are controlled by multi-function keyboard controller.
¾Auto heater and fan to fit all kinds of temperature.
¾Provide 4 alarm inputs and 1 alarm output.

1.3.2. Base Board
The base board that is on the bottom of the housing connects to power cable, video
cable, control cable, alarm cable, fan and heater (fan and heater are for EPTZ900 only). In
order to connect to cables, the board needs to be taken off, and put back after finishing
connecting to all cables. The connectors of cable names are marked on the board in white
text. The details of the alarm connector (JP5) are shown on the APPENDIX A.
For EPTZ900, JP1, JP3 and JP6 that are two-pin connectors on the base board need to
be taken off during installation. JP1 and JP3 are connectors for heater, and they can be
switched. JP6 is a fan controller connector that turns on/off of the fan. The 3 cables are too
short to be connected to a wrong connector when putting them back.

1.5. EPTZ900/500 Quick Operation Guide (Work with EKB500)
EPTZ900/500 and EKB500 (Keyboard) can work together by using factory
default setting. You just need to connect cables by following the steps:
1. Connect the RS485 cable to EPTZ900/500 and a Keyboard (EKB500).
2. Connect a video cable from EPTZ900/500 to a monitor.
3. Connect the power to the EPTZ900/500 and a Keyboard (EKB500) .
After the speed dome finishes the self-test mode, you can start to operate the
speed dome via the keyboard.
To operate the EPTZ900/500:

2. EPTZ900/500 INSTALLATION
2.1. Packing List
There are 3 boxes that are housing, bulb and mechanical part with a camera module,
one wall mount bracket, one power adapter and one accessory packet in the package.
The detail accessories list below:
¾Housing x1
¾Bulb x1
¾Mechanical part with a camera module x1
¾Wall mount bracket x1
¾Adapter x1
¾Accessory packet
Glove x2
M5 Hex Allen wrench x1
Pin connector x1
M5 screw (Hex) x3 for wall mount bracket fixing
M3 screw x3 for bulb fixing
Anchor nut and wall mount screw x4
2.2. Cable Needed
zPower Cable
An adapter with 24V AC/3.5A output provides the power to the speed dome. 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.

2-13
zVideo Cable
ABNC cable is used for connecting a speed dome to a DVR or a monitor. An amplifier
may be needed if the video cable is too long.
zControl Cable
Basically, EPTZ900/500 uses a differential pair to connect to other devices by
cascading. A cable that has low signal decline can be used as a control cable.
zAlarm Cable
An alarm cable is not included in the packing list.A suitable wire can be used as an
alarm cable.
2.3. Initial Setup
Initial setup includes dome address, communication protocol, transmission speed,
video format, and terminator 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 speed dome to
enable a new value after changing.

2-14
2.3.1. Address Setting
The address code of the EPTZ900/500 should be set to correspond properly with a
control device to control multiple dome cameras. The address codes are made up by
the dipswitch SW1 (8 bits) on the PCB board. The 8 bits dipswitch indicates the binary
coded of the address, and there are 256 addresses can be selected (0 ~ 255, 28= 256).
It also means that there up to 256 dome cameras can cascade on the RS485 bus. The
dipswitch setting and the indicated address are represented in the following chart.
Note: The factory default address is 1.
Notice: Please make sure the power is off before setting, and restart the speed dome
to enable a new value after changing.

2.3.2. Communication Protocol Setting
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits of the SW2 are used to set communication protocol. The
factory default protocol is EVF.

Set all of protocol switches to ON; the EPTZ900/500 will enter a self-test mode.
2.3.3. Transmission Speed Setting (Baud Rate Setting)
The 4th and 5th bits of the SW2 on the PCB board are used to set the Baud Rate. The
default baud rate setting is 9600.

2.3.5. RS-485 Bus Terminator Resistance
For central controlling, the terminator resistance should be set for the device that is
the furthest one away from the controller. The 8th bit on the SW2 is a switch to enable or
disable the terminator resistance. When it is switched ON, the BUS terminator
resistance is connected.
