CONNECTING SERIAL PTZ

The unit has two RS-485 ports on the rear panel. You can connect multiple PTZ devices in a daisy chain from either port. Be sure to disconnect power from any camera before connecting its data leads to the unit.

To connect the data leads from a serial PTZ device to the unit:

1. Using a small screwdriver (or similar tool), push in the TX– wire retainer on the first data port on the terminal block.

2. Insert the RX– data wire from the PTZ device into the TX– retainer.

3. Push in the TX+ wire retainer on the first data port on the terminal block.

4. Insert the RX+ data wire from the PTZ device into the TX+ retainer.

5. To connect a PTZ device to the second data port, repeat the previous steps, as necessary.

6. To connect additional PTZ devices in a daisy chain, refer to the documentation supplied with the PTZ devices.

NOTE: Maximum distance for serial communication lines is 1,219 m (4,000 ft) between the DX4700/DX4800 and the last PTZ device on the daisy chain.

Figure 7. Connecting a Serial PTZ Device

After installation, you need to configure the communication settings and the PTZ protocol for the unit as well as the PTZ device. The

DX4700/DX4800 supports Pelco C, Pelco D (2-wire control only), Pelco P, and other PTZ protocols.

CONNECTING A RELAY OUTPUT

The unit provides a single terminal block for connecting up to four relay devices. The relay output is not configurable; it operates as a normally open circuit. A signal from the relay output will operate the relay device. The maximum relay power rating is 0.3 A at 125 VAC or 1 A at 30 VDC.

For information about configuring the relay output, refer to the DX4700/DX4800 Series Server Operation/Configuration manual.

NOTE: If the electric current in the relay circuit exceeds the maximum power rating, the unit can be damaged.

To connect a relay device:

1. Using a small screwdriver (or similar tool), push in the OUT wire retainer (1) on the terminal block.

2. Insert one wire from the relay device into the retainer.

3. Push in the ground wire retainer (G) on the terminal block.

4. Insert the ground wire from the relay device into the retainer.
