Installation and Startup
Mounting Your CameraMan

Camera
You can mount your CameraMancamera on any flat, non-slick, nonmetal surface with a minimum supporting area of 8"
x 8". Follow the instructions below:
1. Check your selected camera location to ensure that you have
enough camera and cable clearance space for the CameraMan
camera to pan and tilt without obstruction.
!
Do not mount the camera upside down or with more
than a 10 degree angle from horizontal.
Refer to Appendix E, Field of View Specifications, to
assist you with positioning the CameraMancamera to
achieve optimum optical views.
2. Locate the zero-degree position mark labeled "Front" on the
bottom of the base unit. This mark helps ensure that the base
unit is calibrated correctly.
Point this indicator mark in the direction that best reflects the
center of travel for the camera. (This is usually the center of the
room.)
!
Lift the unit by its base, not by its tilt assembly.
3. To ensure that the mounting surface is not prone to vibrations,
fasten the camera to a flat, rigid surface using a 1/4"-20 UNC
cap screw that does not extend into the base platform by
more than 0.4". (The cap screw is not included.) To use a 3/8"-
16 UNC cap screw, remove the insert provided in the mounting
screw hole.
!
To avoid overtightening, tighten this screw by hand. If
necessary, use a non-hardening threadlock to prevent
the screw from loosening. Overtightening can prevent
the camera from panning properly and may
damage the unit.
Never attempt pan or tilt movement by hand.
Always use a control device.
!
Always operate the camera indoors and follow the
temperature and humidity specifications outlined in
Appendix B, Camera Specifications.

Connecting to the Camera System
This section provides connection instructions. Refer to the left-side connection ports.
Restraining the Cable Connections
For the following camera connections:
•Run the cables through the cable restrainer from left to right.
•Tighten the cable restrainer to prevent any cables from
dislodging.
This should result in the cables being located approximately in the
center of the camera, instead of near the edge.
!
To relieve stress on the camera and the cable
connections, fasten all cables using the cable restrainer
on the back of the camera.
Connecting the Video Output
!
CameraMansupports both composite and S-VIDEO
formats, although you can use only one at a time.
For composite format, connect to the BNC jack on the Connector
Box on the back of the camera, labeled COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT,
using a standard coaxial cable with a BNC connector (not provided).
!
Verify that the Video Select switch is set to
COMPOSITE. The switch is located behind the
switch plate on the back right of the camera. Refer
to the "Switch Configuration" topic in this section.
For S-VIDEO format, connect to the S-VIDEO jack on the back of the
camera using a standard S-VIDEO cable (not provided).

For video output specifications, refer to Appendix B,
Camera Specifications.
Connecting to the RS-232 Port
CameraMan?provides for RS-232 communications using the DB-9
jack on the back of the camera, labeled RS-232. You can use this
port to control the camera using external devices such as a PC or
other vendor-control system such as AMX
TM and Creston TM.
Our RS-232 protocol is available by calling Customer Support at
[phone].
Connect to this port using a standard computer cable with a DB-9
connector. This port operates with No Parity and software hand-
shaking using High Reliability or Basic protocols.
!
Verify the protocol being used by checking the Protocol
switch on the camera. Refer to the "Switch
Configuration" topic in this section.
The COM light above the RS-232 port is used to indicate
communication activity.
For the DB-9 pin-out port information, refer to Appendix
D, Pin-out Diagrams.

1. Verify that the power switch located on the back of the camera
is turned off.
2. Plug the 5.5mm female connector of the power supply into the

Connecting Camera Control Devices
There are several ways to control your camera's movement. The following information explains how to connect and
configure the optional Camera Control Keypad and the SHOT Director.
Camera Control Keypad or Tracking System Keypad
The optional Camera Control Keypad controls the camera's
movement via wireless RF technology up to 60', or hard-wired
connection up to 250'. If you choose to use a Camera Control
Keypad in the hard-wired mode, follow the installation directions
below:
1. Connect one end of the 25' CameraManKeypad Cable included
with your camera to the RJ-11 type jack located in the battery
compartment of the keypad.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-11 type jack on the
back of the camera, labeled PVI COM.
When the system is powered on, the light on the keypad
illuminates momentarily and you will hear two beeps
indicating that the keypad is ready for operation. The
light located above the PVI COM port indicates
communication activity.
!
Use only the cable supplied for the PVI
COM port. Using non-supplied cables such as
telephone cords may cause damage.
SHOT Director
You can connect the optional SHOT Director joystick controller in
hard-wired mode only.
To connect the SHOT Director to your camera:
1. Connect one end of the RS-485 cable to one of the RS-485 jacks
on the back of the SHOT Director.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the following:
✦For single camera applications, use the jack labeled RS-485
on the back of the CameraManconnector box.
✦For multiple camera applications, use the T-connector. Use
the 3' CameraMancommunications cable (provided) to
connect the T-connector the camera's RS-485 jack. Longer
cables are available.

Installation and Startup
2-18 CameraMan1-CCD Camera System Installation and Operations Manual
System Startup
Once you have made all of the necessary connections and configured the camera to your application, you are ready to
turn on the system.
Powering Up
To turn on the system:
1. Switch the Power button on the back of the camera to the ON
position. The camera should automatically enter its position-
calibration mode and stop at the zero-degree pan/tilt point.
2. Verify that the camera is now facing in the direction the FRONT
label was pointing during mounting. Refer to the "Mounting
Your CameraManCamera" topic in this section.
3. If you are using the optional Camera Control Keypad, make sure
its address is the same as the address on the camera. Also verify
that the camera's pan and tilt functions are working properly.
If the camera does not move, refer to the
Troubleshooting section of your Camera Control Keypad
or SHOT Director manual.

Appendices
A: Multiple Camera Applications
If your application requires that you have more than one CameraMan, you will need to set them up in a daisy-chain
network configuration.
Daisy-chain Network Configuration
To daisy-chain your cameras:
1. To connect the cameras together, plug one end of the
CameraMan?communication cable into the supplied T-
connector and plug the other end into the RS-485 port on the
back of the camera.
2. Connect each camera using a 4-conductor cable with 4-position
modular handset plugs wired straight-through:
Pin 1 . . . . Pin 1 Pin 3 . . . . Pin 3
Pin 2 . . . . Pin 2 Pin 4 . . . . Pin 4
!
Do not use a standard phone cable. These are wired
differently and may cause damage.
3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch located on the
back of the camera, configure each camera with a unique base
unit address.
EXAMPLE: Camera 1 set with address 0, camera 2 set with
address 1, etc.
4. In order to control each camera with your Camera Control
Keypad, the rotary switch inside the keypad battery
compartment must match the lowest base unit address in your
system. Only one base unit should have its RF enabled. Refer to
the "Switch Configuration" topic of Section 2, Installation and
Statup.
EXAMPLE: If the BASE UNIT ADDRESS switches are set
according to the illustration to the right, the rotary switch inside
the keypad should be set to 0. The Camera Control Keypad can
control up to 3 cameras. Refer to the "Camera Control Keypad"
topic of Section 2, Installation and Startup.
