Introduction CyberScout User Manual

1 INTRODUCTION

This manual provides step-by-step installation instructions for all
CyberScout cameras and accessories.

1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

CyberScout™ is a line of compact, variable speed, pan/tilt cameras used
for discreet surveillance. A CyberScout’s operational features are
customized and stored within its on-board programmable nonvolatile
memory. You can program and operate your CyberScouts with your
Kalatel keypad.

Note: Not all CyberScout features are accessible from all keypads. Refer to your keypad’s
programming manual and section 3.1 Keypad Operation in this manual.

CyberScouts come in a variety of camera and dome options. Please
refer to the product brochure, specification, and catalog for details.

1.2 OPERATION REQUIREMENTS

CyberScouts can be operated with or without a keypad. CyberScouts
contain a built-in receiver that decodes commands originating from a
keypad. From the keypad, an operator can pan a CyberScout 360°
(noncontinuous), tilt it 90°, control its digital zoom, set and find preset
positions, set and initiate autopan movements, and set and initiate a
ShadowTour™.

No keypad is required when operating a CyberScout as a standalone
fixed autopan camera. See section 3.2 Standalone Operation.

CyberScout User Manual Introduction

1.3 CABLE REQUIREMENTS

Cable Requirement

Video Coaxial (75 ohm)

Power 24 VAC unshielded twisted-pair

Note: See Table 1 to determine the gauge and length.

Control RS422 unshielded twisted-pair cable

Note: The recommended cable size is 22 gauge (0.64 mm).

1.4 POWER REQUIREMENTS

CyberScouts require a 24 VAC power supply to operate the pan/tilt drive,
camera, and blower. At 24 VAC, the CyberScout requires 6 VA of power.

Note: CyberScouts do not require isolated power inputs.

1.5 POWER CABLE SIZE AND LENGTH

CAUTION:

Choose the proper gauge of the cable to supply 24 volts to the
CyberScout. An inadequate gauge will cause a voltage drop
resulting in improper operation.

Table 1 provides the recommended cable lengths of varying wire gauges.

2.6 APPLYING POWER TO THE CAMERA

CAUTION:

Do not proceed to the site addressing or camera adjusting steps
until the unit stops moving (about three seconds). It is initializing.

1) Apply 24 VAC power to the camera.

2) Wait until the unit stops moving. It is initializing.

CyberScout User Manual Installing the CyberScout

2.7 SETTING THE SITE ADDRESS DIP SWITCH

CyberScout contains a multi-position DIP switch. You can access the
DIP switch without removing the camera shroud. The first 10 positions of
the switch are used to assign the CyberScout a site address in the
Digiplex system.

To enter the receiver’s site address on the DIP switch:

1) Locate the DIP switch. It protrudes through the side of the camera
shroud.

2) Determine which position values must be added together to equal
the site number. See examples below for details about setting
address switches.

3) Set the switches that correspond to those values in the ON position.

1038864A / December 2002 25

Installing the CyberScout CyberScout User Manual

Setting Site Address DIP Switches

To determine which switches to use
when setting address switches, subtract
the highest possible switch value from
the address you want, then subtract the
highest possible switch value from that
difference. Continue to subtract the
highest possible switch value from the
difference until you have zero.

See the switch values (right) and
examples 1 and 2 (below).

3 OPERATING THE CYBERSCOUT

You can operate your CyberScout in normal mode with a keypad or in
standalone mode with its DIP switch. See sections 3.1 Keypad Operation
and 3.2 Standalone Operation.

CAUTION:

To ensure that units are operating properly, test the pan, tilt, and
lens functions once each week.

3.1 KEYPAD OPERATION

You can program and operate autopan limits and presets from any
Kalatel keypad. Refer to your keypad’s manual for instructions.
Programming of ShadowTours and recalibrating are accomplished
differently per keypad. See Table 2.

Note: The CyberScout has 64 presets (0 – 63).

3.1.1 PROGRAMMING CYBERSCOUT MACROS INTO THE KTD-404 KEYPAD

Two macros must be programmed into the KTD-404 keypad for the
CyberScout. One is used to program a ShadowTour and the other is
used to recalibrate the CyberScout.

Note: CyberScouts should not be recalibrated unless it is necessary. Refer to section
4 Troubleshooting to learn when to recalibrate your CyberScout.

1038864A / December 2002 31

Operating the CyberScout CyberScout User Manual

After programming the CyberScout ShadowTour and recalibration
macros into the KTD-404 keypad, the keypad will let you:

• Program a 4-minute ShadowTour: Program a 4-minute
ShadowTour by using the assigned ShadowTour macro key. Press
the macro key once to start recording a ShadowTour. Begin the
manual operation sequence you want to record as your
ShadowTour. Press the macro key again to stop recording the
ShadowTour. Follow your keypad’s instructions for activating the
ShadowTour.

• Recalibrate a CyberScout: Recalibrate a CyberScout by pressing
the recalibration macro once. Refer to section 4 Troubleshooting
for the proper use of the recalibration macro.

Note: CyberScouts should not be recalibrated unless it is necessary. Refer to
section 4 Troubleshooting to learn when to recalibrate your CyberScout.

To program CyberScout macros, first, add macro functionality to the
keypad:

1) Remove the four screws from the bottom of the keypad and
carefully open the keypad. Do not pull on the cabling that connects
the two internal circuit boards.

2) Set DIP switch 7 to ON. If necessary, refer to the keypad manual.

3) Reattach the bottom of the keypad with the four screws.

Continue by programming a key on the keypad to be the macro key:

1) Beginning at the normal operating display, enter programming mode
by pressing and holding the set key. Quickly move to the next step
after the keypad beeps and the code entry display appears.

3.2 STANDALONE OPERATION

CyberScouts can be operated without a keypad as standalone cameras
in a fixed autopan mode. The DIP switches are used to control the speed
and pan/tilt positions of CyberScouts operating as standalone units. See
Figure 40. (The DIP switches are not needed for site addressing when
the CyberScouts are being operated as standalone units.)

CAUTION:

After the last DIP switch is reset in the steps below, do not interrupt
the movement of the camera. It is initializing. Wait for the camera to
stop moving (about three seconds).

3) Refer to Figure 41 and Figure 42 to find your desired tilt and pan
autopan settings.

4) Set the switches that correspond to those autopan settings.

5) Set the pan speed by setting switch 10 to ON for fast or OFF for

slow.

6) Set switch 11 (operating mode switch) to ON for standalone
operation. See Figure 40.

7) Let go of the camera shroud, and keep hands and tools away from
it until the unit stops moving (about three seconds). It is initializing.

To change the standalone operation settings:

1) While the camera is moving, grab the camera shroud and turn it so
you can access the DIP switch.

CAUTION:

After the last DIP switch is reset in the steps below, do not interrupt
the movement of the camera. It is initializing. Wait for the camera to
stop moving (about three seconds).

2) Reset the switches to the new autopan settings. See Figure 41 and
Figure 42.

4 TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible Cause Solution

Have video from
camera, but no
control of camera.

1. Incorrect site
addressing

Check the unit’s site address DIP
switch. Is the setting correct? Refer
to section 2.7 Setting the Site
Address DIP Switch for help with
correctly setting site addresses.

Note: Some equipment (like the
DVMRs) offset site addresses by one.
If the problem occurs while using a
digital recorder, refer to the digital
recorder manual.

Note: If the problem occurs while using
zone control with the KTD-405 keypad,
refer to the appendix in the keypad’s
manual that provides the correct zone
receiver site addresses.

2. Incorrect data
line connections

Check the wiring of the RS422 data
lines.

• Was polarity observed while
connecting the wires to the
interface module*?

• If it was needed, was the loop­through data OUT cable*
connected correctly?

• Was polarity (A to A and B to B)
observed throughout the entire
Kalatel system?

Refer to section 2.3 Making Cable

*

Connections in this manual for additional help.

3. Incorrect DIP
setting

Check DIP switch 11 and verify that
it is set to OFF for keypad operation.
