Tracking System Keypad

Check the KEYPAD ADDRESS rotary switch (located in the battery compartment of the

keypad) and verify that the selected setting corresponds to the setting of the BASE UNIT

ADDRESS switch on the back of the autoTRACK camera. If the two are different, adjust them

so that they correspond.

For more information on configuring the BASE UNIT ADDRESS on the camera and

keypad, see page 7 in the Installation and Operations Manual that came with the

camera.

If the Tracking System Keypad is being used in the wireless RF mode:

1. Install the supplied AA batteries in the Tracking System Keypad by removing the

battery door and inserting the batteries into the battery compartment.

2. After installing the batteries, replace the battery door and press one of the pan keys.
3. Look to verify that the LED on the front of the keypad illuminates. This indicates that

the batteries are installed properly.

If the light does not illuminate, the batteries may be installed backwards. Reverse

the way the batteries are inserted, and try again.

If the batteries are inserted improperly, it will not damage the keypad, the

keypad will simply not work.

If the Tracking System Keypad is being used in the hard-wired mode, connect the CameraMan

Keypad Cable to the RJ-11 type jack located in the battery compartment of the Tracking

System Keypad.

You do not need batteries installed in the Tracking System Keypad when it is being

used in the hard-wired mode.

Press the PAN and TILT arrows one at a time and verify that the camera is responding to the

keypad. The COM light on the front of the camera should flash with every command received

by the camera. If the autoTRACK light on the front of the camera is not illuminated, press one

of the four autoTRACK View buttons on the keypad. This should cause the autoTRACK light

to begin flashing.

Refer to pages 15 through 22 for details on using the Tracking System Keypad.
