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
Troubles | Analysis | Solutions |
---|---|---|
PTZ S surveillance Camera cannot be controlled by KBD | 1. checR RS485 cable |
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.
