Addendum
Appendix
1. Lightning proof and surge signal proof
The product uses TVS lightning proof technology to prevent damage
from a lightning strike below 1500W and impulse surge signals. It is
also necessary to take note of the following precautions to ensure
electrical safety for all applications.
-Keep the communication cables at least 50 metres away from high
voltage equipment or cables.
- Position outdoor cabling under the eaves wherever possible.
-In an open area shield the cables in a steel conduit and attach a
single point ground to it. The use of trolley wire is not
recommended in such circumstances.
-Extra strong lightning proof equipment must be installed in the
event of a thunderstorm or if unit is located in close proximity to a
high voltage electrical substation.
-Ensure the building has the necessary lightning proof measures in
place before designing the system and choosing your cable runs.
Run any cables in accordance with national and industrial
standards.

Addendum
-The system must be grounded with equal potentials. The earth
ground connection must satisfy the anti-interference and electrical
safety requirements and must not short circuit with the high voltage
electricity connection. When the system is grounded separately, the
resistance of the down conductor should be <4 Ohms and the
sectional area of the down conductor should be <25mm2.
2. RS485 bus basic knowledge
2.1 Characteristics of the RS485 Bus-
As specified by RS485 standards, the RS485 Bus consists of half
duplexed data transmission cables with characteristic impedance of
120 Ohms. The maximum load capacity is 256 unit loads (including
main controller and controlled equipment).
2.2 Transmission distances of RS485 Bus-
When the user selects the 0.56 (24AWG) twisted pair wires as the
data transmission cable, the maximum theoretical transmitting
distances areas follows:
Baud Rate Maximum Transmitting Distance
1200 Bps 2400 metres
2400Bps 1800 metres
4800Bps 1200 metres
9600Bps 800 metres
19200Bps 200 metres

Addendum
If the user selects thinner cables or installs the camera in an
environment with strong electromagnetic interference, or connects
lots of equipment to the RS485 Bus, the maximum transmitting
distance will be decreased. To increase the maximum transmitting
distance do the opposite.
2.3 Connection and termination resistor-
The RS485 standards require a daisy chain connection between the
equipment. There must be termination resistors with 120 Ohms
impedance at both ends of the connection. (refer to Figure 37). Please
refer to Figure 38 for simple connection. ‘D’ should exceed 7 metres.
