1. Introduction
The CaMate illuminators' variable beam angles can be adjusted via an RS485 connection. Using a
USB‐to‐RS485 converter, the LED ON/OFF, trigger level, Dimming, Fade in/out can be remotely
controlled.
1.1 Configuration & Control
CaMate can be configured and controlled through the RS485 interface and/or a remote controller. A PC
or Android mobile phone can be used to configure CaMate through the RS485 interface. You can
download a Windows application software and Andriod APP from "www.vivotek.com\CaMate\app."
Devices that come with the RS485 interface, e.g. camera, can configure and control CaMate through
the RS485 interface with a correct command set (refer to Appendix A for Pelco-D or Appendix B for
CaMate’s commands).
To connect a PC or Android device to a CaMate illuminator via the RS485 interface, an USB‐to‐RS485
converter should be used. The converter is separately purchased. An example is shown below:
An exemplary connection should look like this:
Page 5
5
NOTES: If termination is required, a resistor value of 120Ω or greater should be used, and no more than
2 termination resistors should be used, one at each end of the RS485 transmission line.
Page 6

2. Windows Application Software
After the device driver for the USB-to-RS485 converter is installed (refer to the installation guide that
comes with the USB-to-RS485 converter), execute the EXIR_ConfigurationTool.exe application software.
1. First select the correct COM port that is connected to CaMate.
If you are not sure of the baudrate of CaMate, (default is 38,400), you can use the Baudrate probe icon to
search for the correct baudrate.
2. Then, configure the correct baudrate and click the Find icon. A search device window will prompt to ask
for a start Device ID number. Default is 1. Unless a change to the device ID of your CaMate was made,
otherwise, press OK to start finding from device ID 1. You can press the Stop scan button any time once
your CaMate is found.

2.1 Configuration/Status Page
2.1.1 Apply change
The Apply change button lets the configuration values take effect. CaMate configuration values will
not be saved until you click the Apply change button.
2.1.2 Update
The Update button is to used to query the CaMate configuration to display on the software. To
ensure the software is displaying the latest information from CaMate, you should use Update
button before you start to configure.
2.1.3 Device Info
Device Info indicates the CaMate model name, e.g., CM48I8‐1040.
2.1.4 LED Status
LED Status depicts the current ON/OFF state of LED. Red means OFF, and Green means ON.
2.1.5 Device ID
Each device comes with a unique Device ID when multiple CaMate devices are present on the RS485
bus. The Device ID ranges from 0 to 127. Make sure you configure different IDs for CaMate devices
bearing the same model name. There are a total of 128 device IDs, i.e. 0 ~ 127. A special Master

2.2 Baudrate
Baudrate sets the communication speed of CaMate devices on the RS485 interface. The Max. rate is
115,200, and the min. is 1,200. The default baudrate is 38,400. Remember to change the baudrate of
application software immediately after you change the baudrate of a CaMate device. Mismatched
Baudrate setting between a PC and CaMate devices will fail the RS485 communications. In some
computers, the max. baudrate may only reach 38,400.
It is recommended not to change the baudrate of CaMate devices because once the baudrate is changed
and forgotten, the only way is to run the PC software is to probe the baudrate.
2.3 LED Control Mode
There are 4 control modes for the illuminator LEDs: DI mode, Direct mode, Timer mode, and Light sensor
mode.
2.3.1 DI mode
In the DI mode, the system default, the LED ON/OFF is controlled via a DI signal. The associated
configuration is DI/DO active polarity, which defines the activation polarity of DI, e.g. low voltage or
high voltage. The DI/DO status shows the current state of DI and DO signal. The DI mode applies when
the application prefers a control signal from an external device, e.g., a network camera or a PIR
detector.
11
Page 12
2.3.2 Direct mode
In the Direct control mode, the IR LED is controlled by the commands issued through the RS485
interface.
12
Page 13
2.3.3 Timer mode
There is an embedded system clcok on CaMate devices. The Timer mode allows the configuration of
periodical ON/OFF time to control LED automatically. However, since there is no battery in CaMate, the
system Clock will reset to default setting when powered down. (If you need to implement a battery to
sustain the system clock during power-off, please contact your sales representative for customization
service)
2.3.4 Light sensor mode
In the Light sensor mode, the LED is directly controlled by the light sensor status. If the Ambient Light is
lower than the Trigger Level, LED turns ON. If higher than the Trigger level, the LED turns OFF.
2.4 Fade in/out
The Fade in/out control defines the LED ON/OFF behavior. If the Fade in/out function is disabled, the LED
is turned ON or OFF immediately. When the Fade in/out is set to FAST, the LED fades in or out in 1 second,
and 3 seconds if set to SLOW. Fade in/out can avoid sudden LED ON/OFF, which may cause the occurrence
of over-exposure or under-exposure on camera image. The sudden ON/OFF will also cause discomfort for
human eyes when using the visible light CaMate, such as the w5 series.
13
Page 14
2.5 Trigger Level
Trigger Level defines the ambient Lux threshold for the embedded light sensor. There are 7 threshold
levels. 20 % is the default value. "" represents the infinite value, which means the light sensor detection
is always active. When the ambient light falls under the triggering threshold, the LEDs enter the active
state, and will become inactive state when the light level is 10 % above the threshold, e.g., when the
detected level is 30%.
14
Page 15
2.6 LED indicator
LED indicator activates or deactivates the information status LED, i.e. red and green LEDs (not the IR
illumination LEDs). Because of opaque front cover in the IR models, I8 and I9, the LED indicators only can
be seen in the non-IR CaMate products, i.e. w5. Below are the definitions of LED indicators:
Red LED constant ON means normal operation, OFF means system is not working.
Red LED flashes every 1 second means IR LEDs are overheated, flashes every 3 seconds means
LED voltage is out of range.
Green LED flashes means the device received and executing commands.
If both red and green LEDs flash simultaneously, the device upgrading its firmware.
2.7 Ambient Light
Ambient Light reports the current ambient lighting level. The ambient light level is polled every 10
seconds. The light sensor detection control may have a max. of 10 seconds delay when the ambient light
level changes.
2.8 LED Light Level
LED Light Level controls the strength of LED lighting from 100% (default setting, max. power consumption)
to 20% when the LED is ON.
2.9 DO Mode
The DO mode defines the function of DO pin. The DO signal can be used to report three conditions:
Detected Light Level, LED state, or Diagnostic mode. The DO pin signal follows the DO active polarity
setting.
2.9.1 DO light sensor mode
In the default Light sensor mode, the DO pin outputs the light sensor detection result as the "bright"
state (ambient lighting higher than the Triggering level) or the "dark" state (ambient light lower than
the Triggering level). If the application requires CaMate to report Day/Night mode to other devices, e.g.,
the network camera, the DO mode should be configured to the Light sensor mode.
2.9.2 DO LED state mode
In the LED state mode, the DO pin outputs the LED ON/OFF state. If a CaMate is operating in the Direct
or Light sensor LED control mode, other devices can acknowledge the CaMate's LED ON/OFF status via
the DO connection.
2.9.3 DO Diagnostic mode
In the Diagnostic mode, the DO pin outputs the LED health status. Abnormal conditions may include:
LEDs overheated or LED voltage out of range. The Diagnostic mode can be used for maintenance
purpose.
15
Page 16
2.10 Angle Level (Only available for the motorized version of CaMate, e.g.
CA48I8-1040)
Angle level is used to adjust the beam angle of CaMate, and thus adjust the effective IR illumination
range.
2.11 Diagnostic Page
16
Page 17
In the diagnostics page, you can find important system operating information.
2.11.1 System power on time (hours)
System power on time records total the accumulated number of operating hours.
2.11.2 LED power on time (hours)
LED power on time as the total LED ON hours.
2.11.3 Inputs
The Input state reports the input voltage of power supply to CaMate. It records the Max. and Min.
voltage ever recorded, the average voltage during operation, and the current voltage reading. The Out
of range count records the event when the input voltage is under DC12V -10% (DC10.8V) or over the
AC24V+10% (AC26.4V).
2.11.4 LED Voltage
The LED voltage reports the health condition for LED strings, as there are 4 LED strings in CaMate. The
normal LED ON voltage should fall between 400mV and 1200mV. The Over range count records the
event when the detected LED voltage is over 1200mV. Once the LED voltage is over range, the LED is
probably damaged. The 4 LED strings work independently.
2.11.5 LED Temperature
The LED temperature records the Max. temperature of LEDs ever happened, the current temperature,
and the count of overheating events.
CaMate supports the automatic overheat protection when IR LED is overheated, i.e., over 95C (203F),
by automatically reducing the current to maintain the LED working in a safe temperature range and to
ensure the device reliability and longevity.
2.11.6 MCU Temperature
MCU temperature records the Max. temperature ever happened to MCU, current temperature reading,
and the count of overheating events.
2.11.7 Boot count
How many times the device is power on and off. It can be used to check if power losses have occurred
in the operation history.
2.11.8 Error code
The Error code is used for diagnostics purposes. You can report the error code to your technical support
for help if the device is out of order.

Protocol:
To avoid communication conflicts when several devices trying to send data at the same time, all
transmission and reception are controlled by the host computer. The basic form is a
command/response protocol with the host initiating the sequence. When the CaMate devices are not
transmitting, they are in the listening mode. The host sends a command to CaMate with a specified
address and waits a certain amount of time for the CaMate devices to respond.
The format for a command is:
All values below are shown in hexadecimal.
The synchronization byte is always 0xFF.
The address is the logical address of the CaMate being controlled.
The checksum is the 8-bit sum of the payload bytes (bytes2 through 7) in the command.
Command set Table: default address is 0x01
