 Introduction

The Zenty CC-100 controller is an indispensable device in an integrated video conferencing system, providing full control of all front-end cameras with pan/tilt, and motorized lenses. There are numerous numeric and functions keys on the controller. The  numeric keys are used to select the camera or decoder address, and the function keys are used to perform various control operations on the selected front-end device. An LCD display is provided on the control keyboard for displaying control commands, or working states of various monitoring programs in the system. One system uses on controller for remote control of the entire video conferencing system.

Appendix

6.1 RS485 Bus Introduction
The RS485 bus; RS is the abbreviation of English “recommended standard”, while 485 is the identification number. The RS485 serial bus is widely used in applications where the communication distance ranges between dozens of meters to 1km more. RS485 uses balanced transmitting and split receiving, so it has the ability to reject common mode interference. n addition to the high sensitivity of the bus transceiver, it can detect voltages as low as 200mV, so the transmitted signal can be recovered beyond the kilometers away. As RS485 adopts half-duplex working mode, and only one point is allowed to be under sending status any time, the transmitting circuit must be controlled by the enable signal. RS485 is very convenient for multi-point interconnection, which help save many signal lines. RS485 can be used to make a distributed system, which allows up to 128 drivers and 128 receivers to be connected in parallel, depending on the chip used by the driver and receiver, and the bus drive capability is limited by the weakest one. However, in practical applications we can extend it with the RS485 distributor.
6.2 Transmission Distance
The RS485 industrial bus standard requires daisy chain connection between devices. The two ends must be connected with a 120Q termination resistor. The two balance distances must be within 7m.

6.3 Problems in Actual Applications
The star link mode will always be used in actual constructions, requiring the terminating resistor to be linked with the two devices in the farthest distance. But it does not meet the requirements of the RS485 industry standards. When the distance between each  evice is too long, signal reflection and anti-interference ability reducing would frequently happen, which will decrease the reliability of the control signal. It means the camera will not be under control or under control intermittently. In this case, the application of RS485 distributor is recommended, which can effectively convert the star link mode to one qualified by the RS485 industry standards. It will help avoid problems and improve the communication reliability.

Troubleshooting

Step 1: Whether the RS485 A and B are reversed,
Step 2: check whether the RS485 line is short-circuited when power off.
2. check the correspondence of camera protocol and baud rate
settings with those of KBD| Step 1: Check whether the current protocol and baud rate
are correspondent.
Step 2: Restore the KBD default settings and then reset it.
3. Check whether the PTZ indicator light flickering when control.| Step 1: If the PTZ indicator light flickers when control, then there is no problem with KBD.
Step 2 : If the PTZ indicator light does not flash when control, there is some problem with the RS485 output of the keyboard. Please return to factory for
repairing.
Video conference camera can not be controlled by KBD| 1. check the control cable
2.check the correspondence of camera protocol and baud rate
settings with those of KBD| Make sure a right connection of the control cable.
Check whether the current protocol and baud rate of each address are correspondent.
Please refer to camera user manual.

Not all camera can be controlled by KBD.| 1.Inspect accessories.| Inspect all connection cables.
---|---|---
2.Check settings.| Check whether the current protocol and baud rate of each
address are correspondent.
3.Probably a problem with star
wiring.| Step 1: At the farthest end of RS485, connect an impedance
of 1200.
Step 2: Add RS485 splitter to the star connection
Some camera rotate at the same time when control.| 1.Inspect camera address
setting.| Check if the address codes of the cameras that are moving together are the same, please stagger the address code
settings. (Note: you need to restart after modifying the dialing
switch to take effect)
Forget the locking password| Long press the [SETUP) key to enter the system settings and reset the password, if happened at any time.
Button silent| Enter the system settings and tum on the button sound.
