24 CameraMan Installation and Operation Manual
Section 3 — Switch Configuration
Note When using multiple cameras networked on the RS-485 bus, only one
camera should have its RF receiver enabled. Set switch 4 on the other
cameras to UP.
Central Control
Switches
Base Unit Address Use the 16-position rotary switch labeled BASE
UNIT ADDRESS to set the unique identification
number for the specific CameraMan camera. If
using the optional Keypad, DIGITAL SHOT
Director, or another control system, refer to the
documentation provided with those accessories
for proper configuration.
Switch Bank B
Dip Switch 1 (Protocol) Selects the communication protocol to be used
by the RS-232 and RS-485 ports on the camera.
The High Reliability protocol includes some
advanced error checking that is not performed in
the Basic protocol. (The factory default is
DOWN.)
Dip Switch 4 (RF
Command) In the DOWN position, the camera responds to
commands sent from an RF Keypad. In the UP
position, the RF receiver in the camera is
disabled and the camera cannot receive
commands directly from a wireless keypad. (The
factory default is DOWN.)
Dip Switch 5 (Preset Save) Determines how the preset settings are recalled.
DOWN recalls Manual Gain, Iris, and Focus
settings. UP recalls only the Auto settings for
presets and autoTRACK Views. (The factory
default is DOWN.)
Dip Switch 8 (Interlink) Use this feature in multi-camera applications.
When it is in the DOWN position, all commands
are passed onto the RS-485 communication bus
to the appropriate camera. For a single-camera
application, this switch setting does not matter.
(The factory default is DOWN.)
