configuration by following these steps:

1. Connect the cameras together by plugging the

T-connector into the RS-485 port on the back of the camera.

2. Connect each camera using a 4-conductor cable, with 4-position

modular handset plugs wired "straight-through":

Pin 1 ...... Pin 1

Pin 2 ...... Pin 2

Pin 3 ...... Pin 3

Pin 4 ...... Pin 4

Note: Do NOT use a standard phone cable, as these are
wired differently and may cause damage.

3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch, which is located

on the back of the Camera, configure each camera with a unique
Base Unit Address. (i.e.: Camera One would be set with address 0,
Camera Two would be set with address 1, and so on)

4. In order to control each camera with your Camera Control Keypad,

the rotary switch inside the keypad battery compartment must
match the lowest Base Unit Address in your system. For example, if
the Base Unit Address switches are set according to the illustration
to the right, the rotary switch inside the keypad should be set
to zero. The Camera Control Keypad can control up to three
cameras.

Camera One

Camera Two
