INTRODUCITON
1.1 Features
This keyboard controller is capable of controlling 254 Fastrax II (E) dome cameras including 64 alarm
function and remote control functions for a variety of external switching devices (e.g. Multiplexer(max 255),
Digital Video Recorder(max 99) etc…)
The keyboard controller features:
•The capability of controlling a camera’s panning and tilting movement with variable speed from 0.5
°/sec to 90°/sec as well as its zoom, focus, and iris command. Normal speed is inversely proportional
to the current zoom ratio. Turbo speed is Max 380°/sec when the Ctrl key is pressed.
•The ability to define and recall up to 240 presets, which are immediate camera call-ups of preset
position view, with automatic zoom and focus.
•The ability to define and run up to 8 patterns, which comprise a sequential series of pan, tilt, zoom,
and focus movements from a single camera.
•The ability to define and run up to 8 scans, which scan between two limits.
•The capability to incorporate up to 300 of the preset, pattern, scan and tour itself in up to 8 tours,
where the preset, pattern and scan are automatically displayed one after the other on the Main
monitor.
•Global preset recalls preset of all dome cameras.
•Auto Iris mode activated by moving the joystick slightly.
•Auto Focus mode is activated by twisting the zoom handle slightly.
•Programmable user preferences (alarm, preset, title, etc.).
•Two levels of password, administrator and user, are supported for higher security.
•One Master and slave Keyboard is supported to control in a distant place.
•Multiplexers (Max 255) and DVR system (Max 99) can be controlled remotely.
•Up to two programmed data from dome cameras can be downloaded to none volatile memory space
in the keyboard controller for the purpose of programming new dome cameras.
•Two types of keyboard controllers are offered: professional joystick with zoom handle (HID2404CZ)
and simple economic joystick (HID2404CL).

2.2 Termination & Dip Switch Settings
The first and last devices in an installation (dome and keyboard controller) must have the data line
terminated by setting the DIP switch. Without proper termination, there is potential for control signal
errors. Total length of the cable for communication should not exceed 1 mile.
Refer to Figure 7 for setting the dome camera and keyboard controller termination.

2.3 Multiplexer Configuration
 Duplex setup:
NOTE: Multiplexers to be controlled by the keyboard controller require a new ROM version. The new
multiplexer ROM accepts control instructions from the keyboard controller. If your multiplexer’s serial
number is M104xxxx or higher, then it is ready to accept control instructions. Alternately, you can check
the status of your multiplexer by pressing the Menu key of the multiplexer and then selecting item 9. If
you see the “** Protocol” option line in the Communication Setup menu, your multiplexer has the new
ROM, and you do not need to replace the ROM. If your multiplexer has the old ROM version, contact
your distributor on how to get new a ROM.
CAUTION: Before opening the multiplexer, make certain you are working on an antistatic work
surface and that you are wearing a grounding wrist strap. Also, be very careful to orient
the ROM chip correctly and not bend any of the pins.
NOTE: Replace the multiplexer firmware with the new multiplexer ROM (U45) as follows;
Remove the top cover of the multiplexer, and locate the ROM (U45). Before removing the ROM, note
the orientation of the ROM. After removing the old ROM from the socket, insert the new ROM.
Be careful to orient the new ROM the same as the old ROM.
(Refer to the Multiplexer instruction manual.)
Set the multiplexer functions as follows:
(Press the Menu key of the multiplexer to enter the Unit Options menu.)

Unit Number: 001 (first Mux) or 002 (second Mux)
Communication Type: RS 485
Baud rate: 9600 bps
PORT: ON
** Protocol:** B (If you see this line, the multiplexer has the new ROM)
** The old ROM version does not show Protocol selection option.
Multiplexer alarm inputs will function normally, but the Dome controller has no way of knowing about
alarms wired to the Multiplexer. If a Dome preset is required for such an alarm, you must connect the
same alarm input to both the multiplexer and Dome.
