Multiple Camera Control (hard-wired mode)

In this mode, the keypad communicates with camera one (1) using the hard-wired connection.

Any commands sent to cameras two or three will be received by camera one and sent to the

proper camera using RS-485 communications.

1. Make sure your cameras are daisy-chained together.

See your 1-CCD CameraMan Installation and Operations Manual for more

information on daisy-chaining your cameras together.

2.. Connect the Keypad to the PVI COM port on camera one (1) using the CameraMan

Keypad Cable (hard-wired mode only).

3. Set the KEYPAD ADDRESS on your Camera Control Keypad to match the BASE UNIT

ADDRESS on the first camera.

See page 3 for more information on setting the KEYPAD ADDRESS.

4. Set the BASE UNIT ADDRESS on the second and third cameras to successively

follow the address that you used for the first camera.

Example:

Camera Base Unit Address Keypad Address

1 0 0

2 1

3 2

5. Disable or enable the RF Command configuration switch on all cameras. THis setting

will not affect functionality.

See your 1-CCD CameraMan Installation and Operations Manual for

more information on setting the configuration switches on your CameraMan

camera(s).
