█ Summary
◆ The keyboard controller is used for terminal receivers such as speed dome cameras.
It can be used for operating and setting up the speed dome camera. The controller can also be used to control
the terminal receiver to for controlling pan/tilt, lens and etc.
◆ Uses the EIA/RS-485 electrical interface between the keyboard and the receiver.
◆ One keyboard can control as much as 32 speed dome and decoders.
◆ The maximum communication distance between the keyboard and the receiver is up to 1.2 km.

█ Setting of the Keyboard
The protocol in use and the baud rate of communication of the keyboard are set by the MODE in
Figure 2. DIP1-DIP3 are used to select type of the communication protocol and the baud rate ,
shown as following table
◆ Some of the ID-Code of the protocols are set as follows:

◆ Switching control between speed dome and multiplexer: The controller can be operated in two
modes: Speed Dome and Multiplexer. When power supply is on it is operated on the default
mode, namely, the Speed Dome. Press [F3] to make switch between two modes. When it is under
the mode of the Multiplexer, you can control it via “Address Box”. At this time, the LCD will
display “Mulx Addr:001”. The RS-485 output of the keyboard cannot be used to control the
multiplexer. When operation, please pay attention to the information on the LCD.
Termination Resistor Setting
◆ The RS485 standard requires a daisy-chain connection between the equipment. There
must be termination resistor with 120 ohms impedance at both ends of the connection
(refer to the following FIGURE):
◆ Setting termination resistor by the DIP5 of the MODE as follows:

[AUTO]+[ON]
◆ Set the Ending Scan Position: Transfer the speed dome to the ending scan position, operation
[AUTO]+[OFF]
◆ Run Auto Pan ： [AUTO]+[ENTER]
(2) Auto Pan operation takes the following parameters. You must set these parameters before using a
Auto Pan command to begin the scan operation. You can use the scan Stop command or PT scan stop
command to stop the scan. Setting scan condition:
◆ Auto Pan Position (First specify position, second specify position)
◆ Auto Pan Speed and Direction
10. Stop Auto Pan: [AUTO]+[OFF] (only for COP-2 protocol)or push the joystick to stop scan.

camera, and functions are listed as follows ：
16. Use the Joystick to control the speed dome camera:
You can use the speed joystick to control the Pan/Tilt direction and speed of the speed dome randomly. The speed
of pan/tilt is decided by the angle of the joystick you operated (Figure 3).
Change the tilting angle of the joystick you can adjust the speed evenly and the camera can be focused automatically
in the course of scan to keep images being distinct.
17. Control the NEON Video Multiplexer, as follows:
◆ Enter the Multiplexer OSD menu Press “[FUNC]+ ” enter the password [N]+[ENTER]+[N]+[ENTER]+ …
