Installation and Startup
Mounting Your CameraMan
You can mount your C ameraMan camera on any flat, non-slick, nonmetal surface with a minimum supporting area of 8"
x 8". Follow the instructions below:
1. Check your selected camera location to ensure that you have
enough camera and cable clearance space for the CameraMan
camera to pan and tilt without obstruction.
Do not mount the camera upside down or with more
!
than a 10 degree angle from horizontal.
Refer to Appendix E, Field of View Specifications, to
assist you with positioning the CameraMan
achieve optimum optical views.
2. Locate the zero-degree position mark labeled "Front" on the
bottom of the base unit. This mark helps ensure that the base
unit is calibrated correctly.
Point this indicator mark in the direction that best reflects the
center of travel for the camera. (This is usually the center of the
room.)
Lift the unit by its base, not by its tilt asse mbly.
!
3. To ensure that the mounting surface is not prone to vibrations,
fasten the camera to a flat, rigid surface using a 1/4"-20 UNC
cap screw that does not extend into the base platfor m by
more than 0.4". (The cap screw is not included.) To use a 3/8"16 UNC cap screw, remove the insert provided in the mounting
screw hole.
To avoid overtightening, tighten this screw by hand. If
!
necessary, use a non-hardening threadlock to prevent
the screw from loosening. Overtightening can prevent
the camera from panning properly and may
damage the unit.
Never attempt pan or tilt movement by hand.
Always use a control device.
Always operate the camera indoors and follow the
!
temperature and humidity specifications outlined in
Appendix B, Camera Specifications.

Connecting to the Camera System
This section provides connection instructions. Refer to the left-side connection ports.
Restraining the Cable Connections
For the following camera connections:
• Run the cables through the cable restrainer from left to right.
• Tighten the cable restrainer to prevent any cables from
dislodging.
This should result in the cables being located approximately in the
center of the camera, instead of near the edge.
To relieve stress on the camera and the cable
!
connections, fasten all cables using the cable restrainer
on the back of the camera.
Connecting the Video Output
CameraMan supports both composite and S-VIDEO
!
formats, although you can use only one at a time.
For composite format, connect to the BNC jack on the Connector
Box on the back of the camera, labeled COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT,
using a standard coaxial cable with a BNC connector (not provided).
Verify that the Video Select switch is set to

Connecting Camera Control Devices
There are several ways to control your camera's movement. The following information explains how to connect and
configure the optional Camera Control Keypad and the SHOT Director.
Camera Control Keypad or Tracking System Keypad
The optional Camera Control Keypad controls the camera's
movement via wireless RF technology up to 60', or hard-wired
connection up to 250'. If you choose to use a Camera Control
Keypad in the hard-wired mode, follow the installation directions
below:
1. Connect one end of the 25' CameraMan
with your camera to the RJ-11 type jack located in the battery
compartment of the keypad.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-11 type jack on the
back of the camera, labeled PVI COM.

A: Multiple Camera Applications
If your application requires that you have more than one CameraMan, you will need to set them up in a daisy-chain
network configuration.
Daisy-chain Network Configuration
To daisy-chain your cameras:
1. To connect the cameras together, plug on e end of the
CameraMan
communication cable into the ParkerVision Tconnector and plug the other end into the RS-485 port on the
back of the camera.
2. Connect each camera using a 4-conductor cable with 4-position
modular handset plugs wired straight-through:

Pin 2 . . . . Pin 2 Pin 4 . . . . Pin 4
Do not use a standard phone cable. These are wired
!
differently and may cause damage.
3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch located on the
back of the camera, configure each camera with a unique base
unit address.
EXAMPLE: Camera 1 set with address 0, camera 2 set with
address 1, etc.
4. In order to control each camera with your Camera Control
Keypad, the rotary switch inside the keypad battery
compartment must match the lowest base unit address in your
system. Only one base unit should have its RF enabled. Refer to
the "Switch Configuration" topic of Section 2, Installation and
Statup.
EXAMPLE: If the BASE UNIT ADDRESS switches are set
according to the illustration to the right, the rotary switch inside
the keypad should be set to 0. The Camera Control Keypad can
control up to 3 cameras. Refer to the "Camera Control Keypad"
topic of Section 2, Installation and Startup.
