Basic Connectivity of the BU-46H Outdoor PTZ System:
The Vaddio/Canon BU-46H PTZ system uses a Cat. 5e for RS-232/RS-422 control to the camera. The RS-232 to RS-422 is
port powered and it is recommended to be located close to the control source. While the Cat. 5e cable can be run up to 500’
(152.4m) from the camera, the Canon BU-46H is rated for a distance up to 246’ (75m). See Appendix 1 for wiring and pin-out
information.
