Connecting Your Keypad
1. Adjust the KEYPAD ADDRESS rotary switch (located in the battery compartment of the
keypad) so the selected setting corresponds to 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 3-CCD CameraMan’s Installation and Operations
Manual.
2. Configure the keypad for your application:
For Wireless RF Mode (up to 60’/18.28m):
• Install the supplied AA batteries in the Camera Control Keypad by removing the
battery door and inserting the batteries into the battery compartment.
• Replace the battery 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, then the batteries may be installed backwards.
Reverse the batteries and try again. If you install a low battery, the keypad emits
a long beep.
If the batteries are inserted improperly, it will not damage the keypad. The
keypad will simply not work.
For Hard-wired Mode (up to 250’/76.2m):
• Connect the CameraMan Keypad Cable 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 batteries installed in the Camera Control Keypad when
using it in hard-wired mode.
Using cable other than ParkerVision-supplied cable for the PVI COM port
may cause damage.
Your Camera Control Keypad can be used in either a wireless or hard-wired mode. The wireless mode enables you to move freely
around the room, while the hard-wired option enables you to control the camera from greater distances. For either mode, follow the
steps below to connect your keypad to your camera system.
