1. Equipment Profile:
As a kind of front-end equipment, decoder is used to control pan/tilt, lens, power supply, wiper and
light. Keyboard controller, matrix or PC system can use decoder to manage pan/tilt, lens as well as
assistant functions. Besides, the decoder is designed for anti-lightning and anti-interference circuit.
2. Features:
Adopt anti-interfering PIC single-chip, CPU builds-in watchdog circuit with photoelectronic
isolation.
Adopt anti-high voltage, anti-static and anti-lightning design, adding communication jamming
auto reset skill.
This decoder offers AC220V, AC24V, DC12V such-and-such three groups of power supplies for
devices like camera.
Pan/tilt voltage can be AC220V or AC24V (AC24V initiated)
Lens voltage ranges from DV6V to DC12V adjustable (8V initiated), applying for lens speed
adjustment.
Two groups assistant switchers control light, wiper or camera power supply.
Support selections among multi control protocols and multi communication baud rates, 0-63
addresses setting.

4. Pan/tilt Setting:
Can control pan/tilt action of Up/Down/Left/Right/Auto. Pant/tilt voltage can be AC220V or AC24V
(precaution: excessive voltage will burn pan/tilt).
5. Lens Setting:
Can control lens iris, focus as well as zoom. Lens voltage is adjusted by potentiometer of circuit,
ranges from DC6V to DC12V. The higher the voltage is, the faster the lens speed is.
6. Auxiliary Control:
AUX1 and AUX2 is normal-open switcher, used for controlling light and wiper.
7. Protocol Setting:
4-digit dialup switcher (ON=1, OFF=0)

8. Baud Rate Setting:
1st and 2nd digit of 8-digit switcher
Auto identify 1200 protocol or 19200
protocol
9. Address Code Setting:
3rd to 8th digits of 8-digit switcher (ON=1,OFF=0)

(1) Dialup switcher: ON=1; OFF=0.
(2) Address encoding is based on binary system.
(3) Some hosts addresses initiate as 0, and some initiate from 1.
10. Common Faults Analysis & Solutions
Powered light cannot shine
1. Whether supplied voltage is AC220V
2. Maybe power switcher shut or fuse burnt
2. Whether PC system is normal and whether communication port
setting accords with hardware requirement
3. Whether address code switcher setting accords with controlled
camera address (for NO.1 camera address, some hosts show as
0; but some hosts show as 1)
4. Protocol setting incorrect
Close control available; remote
control unavailable
1. RS485 converter lacks driving force for output.
2. Wiring distance over 1200m should add RS485 repeater or
RS485 distributer.

(1) Control line adopts twisted pair cable which is better than parallel line in transmission
distance.
(2) Decoder adopts dual-core STP (shielded twisted pair) with RS485 communication. Cable
length should be within 1200m. Decoder can adopt chain connection or star connection. RS
+( A),RS-( B)is signal end, connecting to A and B port of RS485 host (reverse connection
forbidden).
(3) Multi decoders connection should be finished between the two farthest decoders, moreover
adding 120Ω resistor.
12. RS485 controlled device use method:
Wiring method: matrix switcher directly connects to decoder. PC can adopt active or passive
RS232-485 converter for connecting with decoder.
When distance over 1200m or interference excesses, it is necessary to install a RS485 repeater.
When adopting star wiring, we’d better use RS485HUB which can turn 1 channel RS485 into 4
channels RS485. Thus all channels realize better isolation and less interference between each
other, besides effective transmission distance can also be lengthened.
When interference too serious or adopting non-twisted pair which leads to hard or disable control,
we should adopt RS485HUB or RS485 repeater suchlike devices.
13. Wiring Diagram:
RS+ (A) refers to RS485 plus communication; RS-(B) refers to RS485 minus communication.
DC12V and AC24V refer to the wiring terminal of power supply for camera.
AUX1 and AUX2 refer to the control switchers of camera power supply, wiper or light.

14. Usage of Decoder Test Function:
1) Switch <K1> terminal of <TEST> module of main board into short-cut state and enter test mode.
Then red indicator light shows as flickering.
2) In test mode, firstly dial 5th-8th digits of 8-digit switcher into related function window, then make
<K2> terminal short-circuit. Thus test function runs.
3) Finishing test, we must cut off <K1> terminal immediately, return to normal operation mode,
moreover, dial address code back to original position.
