1 INTRODUCTION
This manual provides step-by-step installation instructions for all
CyberScout cameras and accessories.
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CyberScout™ is a line of compact, variable speed, pan/tilt cameras used
for discreet surveillance. A CyberScout’s operational features are
customized and stored within its on-board programmable nonvolatile
memory. You can program and operate your CyberScouts with your
Kalatel keypad.
Note: Not all CyberScout features are accessible from all keypads. Refer to your keypad’s
programming manual and section 3.1 Keypad Operation in this manual.
CyberScouts come in a variety of camera and dome options. Please
refer to the product brochure, specification, and catalog for details.
1.2 OPERATION REQUIREMENTS
CyberScouts can be operated with or without a keypad. CyberScouts
contain a built-in receiver that decodes commands originating from a
keypad. From the keypad, an operator can pan a CyberScout 360°
(noncontinuous), tilt it 90°, control its digital zoom, set and find preset
positions, set and initiate autopan movements, and set and initiate a
ShadowTour™.
No keypad is required when operating a CyberScout as a standalone
fixed autopan camera. See section 3.2 Standalone Operation.

1.3 CABLE REQUIREMENTS
Cable Requirement
Video Coaxial (75 ohm)
Power 24 VAC unshielded twisted-pair
Note: See Table 1 to determine the gauge and length.
Control RS422 unshielded twisted-pair cable
Note: The recommended cable size is 22 gauge (0.64 mm).
1.4 POWER REQUIREMENTS
CyberScouts require a 24 VAC power supply to operate the pan/tilt drive,
camera, and blower. At 24 VAC, the CyberScout requires 6 VA of power.
Note: CyberScouts do not require isolated power inputs.
1.5 POWER CABLE SIZE AND LENGTH
CAUTION:
Choose the proper gauge of the cable to supply 24 volts to the
CyberScout. An inadequate gauge will cause a voltage drop
resulting in improper operation.
Table 1 provides the recommended cable lengths of varying wire gauges.
