Appendix 1 Lightning & Surge Protection
This product adopts TVS plate lightning protection technology to avoid damage caused by pulse signal that is below 3000W, like
instantaneous lighting, surging, etc. According to the actual situation outdoors, necessary protection measures must be taken to secure
the electrical safety.
1. The distance between signal transmission line and High-voltage equipment or high-voltage cable is at least 50m.
2. Outdoor wiring should better be along the eaves as much as possible.
3. In the open field, wiring should be buried underground in sealed steel pipe, and the steel-pipe should be one-point
grounding. Overhead routing method is forbidden.
4. In strong thunderstorm area or high induction voltage areas (such as high-voltage transformer substation), high power lightning
protection apparatus and lightning conductor are necessary to be appended.
5. The design for installation and wiring with lightning protection and grounding in mind should be combined with the lightning
protection consideration of the building, and conform to the related national standards and industry standards.
6. The system should be equipotentially grounded, and the grounding equipment must satisfy double-request of system anti-jamming
and electric safety, and it must not appear short circuit and open circuit with the zero conductor of strong grid. When the system is
grounding individual, the resistance should be no more than 4Ω, the section al area of the grounding cable should be no less than
25mm2. For grounding instructions, please refer to the Installation Manual of Speed Dome.

Appendix 2 RS485 Bus Connection
1. General Property of RS485 Bus
According to RS485 industry bus standard, RS485 is a half-duplex communication bus which has 120Ωcharacteristic impendence, the
maximum load ability is 32 payloads (including controller device and controlled device).
2. RS485 Bus Transmission Distance
When using 0.56mm (24AWG) twisted-pair line, according to different baud rate, the max transmission distance theory table is shown
as below:
Baud Rate Max Distance
2400BPS 1800m
4800BPS 1200m
9600BPS 800m
The transmission distance will be decreased if we use the thinner cable, or use this product under the strong electromagnetic
interference situation, or there are lots of devices are added to the bus; on the contrary, the transmission distance will be increased.
3. Connection Method and Terminal Resistance
1) RS485 industry bus standard require daisy-chain connection method between any devices, both sides have to connect a 120Ω
terminal resistance (show as Diagram 1), the simplified connection method is shown as diagram 2, but the distance of “D”
should not be too long.
Diagram 1
Diagram 2
2) Connection of 120Ωterminal resistor
The 120Ωterminal resistor can be connected through the DIP switch on the communications board, as shown in Figure3. For a new
dome, the 120Ωmatching resistor is defaulted as unconnected, switch on the eighth bit of SW2, it will be connected. Conversely,
switch off the eighth bit of SW2, it will be unconnected.

4. Problems in the PracticalApplication
Normally, users adopt star-shape connection method in construction, under this situation, the terminal resistors must be connected
between two farthest devices (as Figure 4, 1# and 15#), but this connection method is not satisfy the requirement of the RS485
industry standard so that it will lead to some problems such as signal reflection, anti-jamming ability decline when the devices are
faraway. At this time, the dome will be uncontrollable, or self-running, etc.
Figure 4
For such case, the best way is adding a RS485 distributor. This product can effectively change the star-shape connection to which
satisfies the requirement of RS485 industry standard, in order to avoid those problems and improve the communication reliability.
Show as figure 5.
