Serial Data Connections:
Control commands are sent to your 106 over an RS485 Serial Data connection which has
2 wires usually labelled either A and B or + and -. The data wires from the 106 umbilical
cable are identified accordingly:
RED: RS485 A (RS485+) / Black: RS485 B (RS485-)
When connecting directly to an IRIS595 controller, observe the following polarity:
NOTE:
One of the most common faults when connecting serial data is incorrect
polarity. In the event that there is no camera control when you have connected
up, please check the polarity of the data wires. You cannot damage the
equipment by reversing polarity of the data wires.
WARNING:
Colour conventions for RS485 data and DC power are the same and can
therefore be confusing. Observe extreme caution when handling DC and data
wires , as incorrectly applying a DC voltage to the data line could result in
severe damage to the camera, boat and cause person injury or death.
