SC-2 Pan/Tilt/Zoom Keyboard Reference Guide

 

[This note applies to the SC-2 series PTZ controller]

This guide references quick solutions to commonly asked questions about the SC-2 Pan/Tilt/Zoom controllers. For a more in-depth explanation, please refer to the instruction manual that was included with the controller.

 

Step 1:  Installing the controller will begin with correctly connecting your communication lines to the included junction box.  Please note if you have multiple PTZ cameras, or you intend to use a DVR for control also, you will want to use this junction box as the hub for your RS-485 communication. 

 

For a standard setup, you will only need to use pins numbered 1, 2 and 6.  As noted, pin 1 is your positive RS-485 lead, and pin 2 is your negative.  Pin 6 will be used to connect your positive DC 12V power source.  Please note the controller has a draw of DC12V @ 500 mA.  Once the junction box is wired and closed, connect the included RJ-11 head to the junction box, and also connect the other side to the Master Port on the controller itself.  Connect your power source to the red pig tail of the junction box, and you should see the LCD panel light up.

 

Step 2:  Once powered, the controller is preprogrammed to communicate using the protocol Pelco D, baud rate of 2400, and the system id or address of 1.  If your camera matches these settings, you should already be able to control the dome.  To change the address for communication, you can press the address number, followed by ‘CAM’ to switch between cameras.  Should you need to change the baud rate of the controller, you can press and hold number 1, as well as the set key for about 2 seconds.  You will first be prompted for a password (default: 0000), and then you be in the system configuration for the controller.  The only noteworthy changes in here would be the communication speed, and also the proportional speed control.
