Read these instructions , Keep these instructions.
Follow all instructions and warnings.
nstall according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not open the camera unit, doing so invalidates the unit’s warranty.
Do not back-drive the pan or tilt axis of the camera. To do so will damage the motor drive mechanism and will
invalidate the warranty.
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning products on the unit.
n situations where there could be a risk of injury should any part of the assembly become detached for any
reason and fall, normal safety precautions should be employed.
A strong safety chain between the camera pan shaft base and the mounting surface is recommended.
Use only the power source types indicated in this user guide and ensure that the current rating of the supply
cable is adequate for the product.
All power supplies should be appropriately fused.
Take extra care lifting or moving camera units due to their weight.
Take care to allow space around the unit for Pan and Tilt motion.
Take care to avoid striking persons or objects when the camera is in motion.
Introduction.
These are no ordinary cameras. Thanks to careful development and rigorous testing, these cameras are
equipped to survive in harsh environments and provide enhanced features. Two main models are available
to offer optical only or optical plus thermal imaging abilities.
The numerous benefits of both camera types include:
•Flat toughened glass window – scratch resistant, maintenance-free and optically correct,
•ntegral Wiper – to clean away rain and deposits caused by wind, sea spray and road traffic,
•Anodised aluminium castings, with powder coating to resist
corrosion in the harshness of marine environments,
•Stainless steel case fastenings,
•Optional washer system interface,
•Optional infra-red LED illumination system,
•Multiple native control protocols: RS-485 (Simplex/Half-duplex)

Installation
Camera mounting
The camera is designed to be mounted upright or hanging. By
nature of its rugged construction the camera is a heavy item and
thus requires a substantial and stable mounting. The camera can
be supplied with an optional mount adaptor to allow fixing to
industry standard brackets, towers or columns.
The mount adaptor has two cable entry points:
•(1) A pass-through hole in the end plate to allow the composite
cable to enter unseen from a column, tube or bracket type
mounting, plus
•(2) A conduit thread (M25) in the side wall to permit composite
cable entry via a flexible conduit attached to the adaptor.
To mount the camera
1Thread the composite cable through the appropriate entry hole
into the mount adaptor before it is fixed to the column or
bracket.
2To avoid placing strain upon the electrical connections,
arrange the composite cable such that approximately 120mm
of the weatherproof connector protrudes out from the smaller
plate that will connect to the camera.
3 Secure the mount adaptor to the supporting structure using
M8 bolts, washers and Nyloc® type nuts where appropriate.
4 Remove the four hex head bolts from the camera base and
push the connector back into the mount adaptor.
5Offer the camera to the mount adaptor and clip the lanyard
onto the lug of the mount adaptor. n addition to being an
essential safety device during operation, the lanyard is useful
as a temporary hanging point when the camera is being
mounted in the inverted position.
6 Carefully note the orientation notches of cable connector and
camera socket. Align the notches accordingly and insert the
connector onto the socket of the camera base. Twist the
connector’s retaining ring until it fully locks into place.
7 Align the four holes of the mount adaptors with those on the
camera base and insert the four hex head bolts.
8 Tighten the bolts to approximately 1.6Kg/m. Do not over
tighten bolts.
IMPORTA T: Always use sprung washers and yloc® nuts
in order to significantly reduce the possibility of bolts working loose due to vibration during
operation.
Cable entry path must be watertight to avoid ingress and build-up of water around the connector.

To tilt the camera head
When mounting upright, the camera head can be cantered to allow it a field of view clear of the pan motor
section of the housing.
1Unscrew and withdraw the M5 socket head retaining bolt from the middle of the front of the yoke.
2Carefully tip the yoke assembly forward.
3Re-insert the bolt from the rear of the yoke and tighten to approximately 0.97Kg/m. Do not over
tighten the bolt.
The camer's Setup > Configuration menu should be adjusted to indicate that the head has been cantered,
in order to ensure appropriate operation.

Configuration switches
These switches set the address and protocol of the camera. f all switches are off then the address is taken
from the camera’s internal memory and can be set using the menu. The default for the internal memory is 1.
Settings related to telemetry control can be configured using two banks of switches (S1 and S2) located
behind a removable panel within the hub of the camera. To access the switches, remove the two retaining
screws and remove the panel:

Device ID address (block S1, switches 1 to 8)
The 8 switches are the binary code of the address so switch 1-1 is equal to 1, switch 1-2 to 2, switch 1-3 to 4,
etc. (powers of 2).
For instance, an address of 65 would be 1+64, requiring switches 1 and 7 to be on.

firmware. [S] Selected on Switches or [F] Selected in Firmware/menu.
Termination (block S2, switch 8)
Sets the termination for the RS485 interface. For protocols which use RS485 control signals via the twisted
pair link within the camera’s composite cable, you can determine whether or not the camera is terminated.
The camera should be terminated whenever it is situated as either the only device connected to a controller
or the last device within a chain of similar devices.

OSD Menu navigation.
To allow interaction with the On Screen Display menus from a variety of third-party control equipment the
menu navigation uses basic Pan/Tilt and Preset-Position recall controls that are widely supported.
These are Tilt (Up/Down), Pan (Right/Left), Recall/Goto Preset-1 and Recall/Goto Preset-2*.
The Zoom+ (Tele) and Zoom- (Wide) controls may also be used.
==============================================================
avigation Controls.
Recall Preset-2 To open the OSD Menu screen
Recall Preset-1 (or Zoom+) To SELECT a highlighted item (or toggle value).
Tilt (Up/Down) To move between items within the menus.
Pan (Right/Left) To ncrease/Decrease values within a list.
Zoom- (Wide) To exit a menu (or Select Exit from menu list)
Menu items that start with the greater-than ( > ) character provide access to sub-menus.
The base preset number (OSD Menu) can be set in the Configuration menu.
The default is 2, for use with controllers of limited preset numbering.
Alternative Recall Preset-199 for systems with 3-digit recall.
( * ) The use of Preset-2 to access the OSD Menus may be changed within the SETUP menus to allow a
different value to be used if desired, (Ref. SETUP > CONF GURAT ON menu, EXT-POS value).
==============================================================
Configuration of the camera takes place using the internal menu. There are two versions:
- A quick menu that contains only the most commonly used settings;
- A comprehensive main menu where all settings are accessible.
Default password: AAAAAA.
The two menus are accessed in slightly different ways.

To access the quick installation menu you need to issue a Go To Preset-198 command to the camera.
The menu contains only the most common settings that may need to be changed during installation or
service:
Note: he Quick menu does not require a password to gain access to key camera settings (and also
provides a backdoor entrance to the main Setup menu. herefore you are recommended to disable the quick
menu (Hide quick menu option) once all configuration settings have been made.

Special Feature Presets.
For installations of PA R2 enhanced lenses preset positions 130c – 139c are assigned for
lens functions.
These presets are masked to record the PA R2 enhancement settings that are active at the
time of recording and not other parameters such as the position of the PT unit.
Recalling these presets will cause the lens enhancement settings to adjust to the recorded
values whilst not initiating any PTZ actions.
Causes a defined label to be removed from the preset. The captioning will revert to the
default type.
