Connecting Your Keypad
Step 1: Adjust the KEYPAD ADDRESS rotary switch (located in the battery compartment of
the keypad). The selected setting must be the same as the setting of the BASE UNIT
ADDRESS switch on the back of the Camera.
For multiple camera applications, refer to page 6.
For information on how to set the Base Unit Address on your CameraMan
camera, refer to the 1-CCD CameraMan Installation and Operations Manual .
Step 2: Configure the keypad for the desired mode:
For Wireless RF Mode (up to 60 feet/18.28 meters):
• Install the supplied AA batteries in the Camera Control Keypad by removing the
battery compartment door and inserting the batteries. You will hear a beep.
• Replace the battery compartment door.
• Press one of the PAN/TILT arrows on the keypad and 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 a battery with a low charge
is installed, the keypad will emit a long beep.
If the batteries are inserted improperly, it will not damage the keypad,
it simply will not work.
For Hard-wired Mode (up to 250 feet/76.2 meters):
• Remove the batteries.
• Connect the CameraMan Keypad Cable supplied to the RJ-11 type
jack located in the battery compartment of the Keypad.
• Connect the other end of the cable to the PVI COM port on the CameraMan camera.
When the system is powered on, the light on the keypad should illuminate
momentarily, indicating the keypad is ready for operation. The light located
above the PVI COM port on the camera indicates communication activity.
You do not need to install batteries in the Camera Control Keypad when using
it in hard-wired mode.
Using a cable other than the one supplied for the PVI COM port
may cause damage.
Your Camera Control Keypad is designed to be used either in wireless or hard-wired mode. The wireless mode enables you to freely
move around the room. The hard-wired mode enables you to control the camera from greater distances. For either mode, use the
following steps to connect your keypad to your camera system:
