RS-422/RS-485
Distribution Panel
Features That Make a Difference:
Compatible with American Dynamics® MegaPower matrix
switcher/controller systems, Intellex
systems, and RS-422 converter (RCSN422)
Amplifies RS-422/RS-485 communications signals for multi-
point dome control
Supports home-run, daisy-chain, star, and junction box (J-Box)
wiring topologies to accommodate any type or size system
Accommodates home-run dome wiring via 16 output ports
Install at head end or remote locations
Rack (2U) or wall mountable
Space-saving design allows mounting at either the front or rear
of an electronics rack, facing in or out
Surge suppression provided on all data and power
connections
ADAC422DP model includes power supply for multiple panels
®
digital video management
The RS-422/RS-485 distribution panel amplifies either a
RS-422 or RS-485 communications signal. With 16
outputs, the panel can accommodate home-run wiring,
multiple daisy-chained links to SpeedDome programmable
dome cameras or J-Boxes.
The panel also includes inputs for multiple MegaPower
CPUs allowing you to maintain control from both the
primary and backup CPUs, thereby providing a redundant
solution. In addition, the panel can also accept RS-232
communication signals from MegaPower CPU or Intellex
digital video management systems where RS-232 is
required. For diagnostic control you can monitor signal
activities on each channel.
®
Installing the panel is easy, either at the head end or at
remote locations and it can be used in place of a RS-422
J-Box when power is available for domes locally. The
sleek, 2U design can easily be mounted on a wall or at the
front or rear of an electronics rack, facing in or out.
The panel is the ideal choice for distributing RS-422 /RS485 protocol to American Dynamics SpeedDome
programmable dome cameras and J-Boxes.
