ZP-EPC10

Introduction

This installation guide is designed for the use of persons concerned with the installation
and configuration of the protocol converter and any devices connected to it. Relevant
international, national and – if applicable – local electronic engineering standards should
be observed at all times.

Intended use

The ZP-EPC10 protocol converter is designed to provide an interface between the CEC
C328 matrix switcher and the dome cameras of the SMD series from CBC. The device
converts the data transfer between protocols RS422 and RS485. The unit is designed
exclusively for this function. No other application is permitted.

EU directives

The ZP-EPC10 protocol converter fulfils the specifications of European Union directive
89/336 (covering electromagnetic compatibility).

Identification plate

Precise identification of each unit is provided by the plates attached to the front and rear
of the housing, which show the model designation and serial number. Keep these details
for reference, should you have questions or for ordering spare parts.

Security Measures

Safety Measures

Danger by Electric Current

• The device must be connected to the appropriate power supply.

• Only use a suitable adaptor (see technical data).

• Disconnect the adaptor from the mains supply when an error occurs.

• Only use the adaptor and device in a dry, weather protected environment.

• If safe application of the device is no longer guaranteed, it should not be used but be
protected against inadvertent handling. Safe use is no longer possible, e.g.

– when the device or cables are visibly damaged,
– when the device does not work properly,
– when the device has been exposed to rain or wet conditions,
– when the item has been pierced,
– after prolonged storage in unfavourable conditions or after difficult transportation.

Have the device checked by CBC.

Installation

• When installing the device, electrical engineering regulations should be adhered to.

• Follow the instructions for installation and operation other equipment, e.g. cameras.
These instructions contain important advice on safety and approved use of equipment.

• Carefully follow guidelines for installation and use. Not doing this could lead to personal
injury, damage to property or to the equipment itself.

Repair and Maintenance

• Never open the housing of the protocol converter. The device does not contain parts
that you can repair or replace yourself.

• Ensure that repair or maintenance work is carried out by qualified personnel (electrical
engineers).

Summary of features

The ZP-EPC10 protocol converter is designed to convert control signals between
RS422 (full-duplex) and RS485 (half-duplex) protocol. In addition to adjusting for diffe­rent pin assignments, the unit also converts the protocols used by the CEC C328 video
multiplexer and the SMD-type dome cameras manufactured by CBC. A single protocol
converter can support up to 31 dome cameras. It is also possible to cascade up to nine
protocol converters to control a maximum of 256 dome cameras using a single multi­plexer.

Both SMD-type and CEC VSD-type dome cameras (only the former use RS485 proto­col) may be operated jointly.

The following dome camera functions are supported:

❚ Pan, tilt, zoom, focus, iris
❚ Presets
❚ Writing EEPROM
❚ Start position (Home)
❚ Auto-focus, auto-iris, manual iris control
❚ Automatic pan or tilt function between presets 1 and 2
❚ Control of pan and tilt speed
❚ Camera speed control
