Use only the 12VDC power supply shipped with the unit. The Joystick may be connected to cameras via RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422. · For RS-232, connect the DB9 port of the joystick to the miniDin8 (VISCA) port of the camera with pin-out as follows: KB Tx Pin 3............... Camera Rx - Pin 5 KB Rx Pin 2 .............. Camera Tx - Pin 3 KB Gnd Pin 5............ Camera Gnd - Pin 4 When connecting multiple cameras,the first cable in a serial control chain is a DB9 to 8-pin mini-din cable as seen in Fig. 1 (included). The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cameras are connected using an 8-pin minidin cascade cable as seen in Fig. 2 (not included). See Fig. 3. 12 ver 1_1 rev 5-23 · For RS-485, connect the 5p screw terminal port of the joystick to the RS-485 port of the camera with pin-out as follows: KB Ta Pin 1---------- Camera (+) KB Tb Pin 2---------- Camera (-) KB Gnd Pin 5---------- Camera (G) (if present some cameras will not require a G) Daisy-Chain Connection Guide · For RS-422, connect the 5p screw terminal port of the joystick to the RS-422 port of the camera with pin-out as follows: KB Ta Pin 1 ............... Camera (Rx-) KB Tb Pin 2............... Camera (Rx+) KB Ra Pin 3 .............. Camera (Tx-) KB Rb Pin 4 .............. Camera (Tx+) KB Gnd Pin 5 ............ Camera (G) (if present some cameras will not require a G) Fig. 1 Fig. 2 RS-232 DB9 Connection RS-232 DB9 Male Connection on Joystick DB9 Cable (included) Cascade Cable (not included) 8-pin mini DIN Fig. 3 RS-232 8 -pin Mini Din female Connection on camera 1 8-pin mini DIN Connection on cameras 2,3,4 + DB9 Cable Mini DIN Cable The DB9 cable that is included with the joystick is DB9 F on one end and mini DIN on the other. All of the connections above are OUT of the camera (8-pin mini DIN), and IN to the next camera (also 8-pin mini DIN). 13 ver 1_1 rev 5-23 Troubleshooting · Cannot Control Camera at all Check that LCD is in the Main Menu. Press "Esc" key to return to main menu, if needed. Note: Repeated presses may be required depending on how deep you are in a menu, e.g. this can often happen after setting presets and then attempting to Call presets without exiting the Set menu. Check both KB settings and camera settings to ensure that the following ALL match: Camera ID (e.g. 01, 02, etc...) Camera Protocol (e.g. VISCA, PELCO-P, PELCO-D) Baud Rate (e.g. 9600) Check all KB-camera connections and cabling per "Connection Wiring and Indicators" section above. · Controlling more than 1 camera at a time. Check all cameras to ensure that each has a unique ID. Check all camera settings in KB menu to make sure that the protocol setting for that camera ID matches that of the actual camera. Note, you cannot typically mix VISCA, Pelco-P or Pelco-D cameras in the same daisy chain. Check control wiring. For RS232, cabling must flow from KB into the VISCA-in port of the first camera and then from VISCA-out port of first camera to VISCA-in port of next camera, etc... A VISCA cross-over cable must be used for all camera to camera connections. These are available from HuddleCamHD in various lengths as well as from other sources. For RS485 and RS422, all connections are in parallel (e.g. all cams' 485+ are connected to KB's 485+ and all cams' 485- are connected to KB's 485-) and termination may be required depending upon overall cabling distances involved. 14 ver 1_1 rev 5-23
