A: Multiple Camera Applications
If your application requires that you have more than one CameraMan
, you will need to set them up in a daisy-chain
network configuration.
Daisy-chain Network Configuration
To daisy-chain your cameras:
1. To connect the cameras together, plug one end of the
CameraMan
communication cable into the ParkerVision T-
connector and plug the other end into the RS-485 port on the
back of the camera.
2. Connect each camera using a 4-conductor cable with 4-position
modular handset plugs wired straight-through:
Pin 1 . . . . Pin 1 Pin 3 . . . . Pin 3
Pin 2 . . . . Pin 2 Pin 4 . . . . Pin 4
!
Do not use a standard phone cable. These are wired
differently and may cause damage.
3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch located on the
back of the camera, configure each camera with a unique base
unit address.
EXAMPLE: Camera 1 set with address 0, camera 2 set with
address 1, etc.
4. In order to control each camera with your Camera Control
Keypad, the rotary switch inside the keypad battery
compartment must match the lowest base unit address in your
system. Only one base unit should have its RF enabled. Refer to
the "Switch Configuration" topic of Section 2, Installation and
Statup.
EXAMPLE: If the BASE UNIT ADDRESS switches are set
according to the illustration to the right, the rotary switch inside
the keypad should be set to 0. The Camera Control Keypad can
control up to 3 cameras. Refer to the "Camera Control Keypad"
topic of Section 2, Installation and Startup.
