Jumper Settings
In a RS–485 connection, there are two types of receivers: the master and any amount of slaves. The JK–UC1 was built and preconfigured to act as a master unit. If this is the case, no modifications must be done whatsoever. However, if the unit is going to act as a slave unit in the RS–485 line, every jumper on the A group must be taken off. Refer to fig. 5. In case the unit is going to use a RS–232 communication line, the jumpers on the B group must be changed to the left side, as shown in fig 6. This is the case when trying to communicate the unit and a PC. In case the communication would be RS-485, no change is needed.

JK-UC1 Operation

The JK-UC1 has the ability to control Toshiba-TAIS cameras , as well as any Toshiba ‘P’ or Pelco ‘P’ compatible dome camera. For doing so, the controller has 23 keys, a joystick and two displays, as shown in fig. 7. Refer to this figure or straight to the keyboard from now and on to relate to the functions of the unit. It is strongly recommended to practice every function several times to get used to the operation of the system. To simplify operations, the JK-UC1 has shortcuts to access each of those modes, even though it keeps the Pelco procedure to access them. From this point and on, this manual will describe the shortcuts to access the different commands. At the end of this section there is a cross reference table to the alternative methods to access them. A regular Pelco user can feel free to use the way he or she is used to operate the controller.
