Camera Settings
1.
Open the switch cover on the side.
To open the cover, pull outward while
pressing at the edge in the direction of
the arrow.
(Be sure not to press with excessive
force as this could deform or destroy the
cover.)
2.
Set the control signal selector switch.
This switch is used to switch the input
and output signal to and from the con-
trol signal connection terminals.
When shipped from the factory, the
switch is set to “422A/485”. Normally,
there should be no need to change this
setting. When it becomes necessary to
change the setting, use a fine screw-
driver or other difficult to break or bend
object to change the setting.
INSTALLATION
Set the switches on the side of the camera in accordance with the system or equipment to
be connected to.
Always turn OFF the power before setting the switches.

422A: Use this setting when the
485
camera is connected to the op-
tional Remote Control Unit RM-
P2580.
Input and output of signals with
electrical characteristics con-
forming to the EIA/TIA RS-422A
or RS-485 standard takes
place.
●
232C: Input and output of signals with
electrical characteristics con-
forming to the EIA/TIA RS-
232C standard takes place.
(When connecting to a personal
computer, etc.)
Memo:
The control signal selector switch setting
position and the signals input and output to and
from the control signal connection terminals are
as shown in the illustration on the left.
Improper setting could result in incorrect
operation or damage.

Switch 4: Synchronization signal
selector switch
Switches the synchronization method
of the camera image.
OFF: Internal synchronization (INT)
ON:
The camera’s vertical synchroniza-
tion is matched with the frequency
of the AC 24V line power supply.
When switching between mul-
tiple cameras using a switcher,
selecting this mode and adjust-
ing the vertical phase can re-
duce the monitor sync distur-
bances occurring when the
camera image is switched. (This
cannot be used in regions where
the power frequency is 50 Hz.)
●
Switches 5, 6, 7, 8
These switches are not used.
(Set them to OFF.)
4.
Camera ID setting switches
Camera ID setting is only performed
when the system connection selector
switches (Switch 1 and 2) are set to “RM-
P2580”.
The camera ID number is a number to
identify each of the cameras connect to
the RM-P2580. The camera ID number
should be the same as the number of
the RM-P2580 VIDEO INPUT terminal
to which the camera is connected.
Example:
The camera connected to VIDEO
INPUT 1 is set
to “01” as shown
on the right.
Memo:
If the camera ID numbers of cameras connect
to the RM-P2580 are duplicated, the system
will not work correctly.
5.
When setting of the switches is com-
pleted, close the cover over the setting
switches again.
Memo:
Switch 1 and 2 are used to specify the
form of the control signal cable connection
between the remote control unit and the
camera and the communication protocol.
Switch 1 (Initial setting: OFF)
OFF:
POINT TO POINT
ON:
MULTIDROP
Switch 2: (Initial setting: OFF)
OFF:
DUPLEX
(two-way data transmission)
ON:
SIMPLEX
(one-way data transmission)
●
Switch 3: Termination ON/OFF
switch
This is a termination ON/OFF switch
between the “RX+” and “RX–” control
signal connection terminals.
ON:
The “RX+” to “RX–” route is ter-
minated by a 110
Ω
resistor.
OFF: The RX+ to RX– route is not
terminated.
(Initial setting: OFF)
In a system using the Remote Control Unit
RM-P2580, set this to “ON” only on the
camera placed at the end of the control sig-
nal cable. Set to OFF on all other cameras.
3.
Set system setting switches.
Set the system connection selector
switches (Switch 1, 2) in accordance
with the equipment that the camera
body is to be connected to.
