CONSTRUCTION q Alarm Input Connector w Alarm Output Connector e Video Output Connector r Data Port t Power Cable Ensuring Trouble-free Operation • This camera uses a "slip ring" for transmission of electrical power and signals. A dirty slip ring can cause deterio- ration of picture quality during panning and generation of noise.
If you install the camera on a ceiling or wall, except for accidents caused by fault in the camera, Panasonic holds absolutely no responsibility for accidents caused by the camera falling due to unsuitable installation. Take sufficient care when installing the camera.
Important: Before setting up the camera for a configuration where the camera's RS485 data port is used for camera control (pan, tilt, etc.) by the system con- troller, the camera's DIP switches must be con- figured to specify the unit number and communi- cation parameters.
Unit Number (DIP Switch 1) The factory default settings of these DIP switches are all OFF. (Coaxial Multiplex System) Unit DIP Switch 1 Number 1 ~ 96 * Unit DIP Switch 1 Number -12- Unit DIP Switch 1 Number...
Unit DIP Switch 1 Number * When using the Unit Number 1 to 96 setting, the unit number setting needs to be configured using the RS485 SET UP menu. For details about configuring this setting, see step 2 and page 19. * Turning on power when this setting is selected causes the RS485 SET UP menu to appear during the initialization routine.
