Introduction VPS3 series is a transmission system to transmit video, audio, RS-485 data, alarm signals, and camera DC power via one coaxial cable. The system can transmit signals and DC power to 600 meters. If a camera has its power source, not consuming power from Viewer unit, the transmission distance of the VPS3 can reach 1,000 meters. Features & One cable transmits all signals and DC power. & Supports P/T/Z (pan, tile, zoom) Camera. & Up to 600 meters range with DC power; up to 1,000 meters range if camera consumes extra separate power source at camera installation side. & Supports RS-485 standard from DC (0bps) to 38.4 Kbps & Half-duplex channel for RS-485 port & Real time analog video signals for color and B/W (50 fps /60 fps), 480 TV lines resolution. & Built-in electrical transient voltage suppressor(tvs) and gas tube arrester protection on LINK IN and LINK OUT ends. & Inter-Carrier technology eliminates signal interference and common mode noise. & Power Supply accepts universal voltage input from 85V to 265V.

Overall Certificate This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the Part 15 rules of the US FCC Regulation, also gets CE approved and comply with European Directive 2002/95/EC - Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS) System Specification The ambient operating temperature is from -10 to +45, and the relative humidity is from 10% to 70%. Besides, the ambient storage temperature is from -25 to +75 and the relative humidity is from 0% to 95%. Please be kindly informed that allowable maximum DC Resistance of coaxial cable between Sender unit and Viewer unit varies to some extent according to different current and voltage consumption of camera. Please see below table for more info. Camera Power Consumption Voltage Current Maximum DC Resistance allowable 12V 1Amp 20 ohms 12V 1.25Amp 15 ohms 24V 0.6Amp 18 ohms 24V 0.75Amp 12.5 ohms However, if camera has its own power source, consumes no power from Sender unit, the maximum DC Resistance allowable is 35 ohm. Note: DC Resistance here means total DC Resistance of both inner conductor resistance and outer conductor resistance of the coaxial cable between Sender unit and Viewer unit. In general, the thicker the coaxial cable is, the lower the DC Resistance is; and the longer the coaxial cable is, the higher the DC Resistance is. Both DC12V, 1Amp and DC24V, 0.6Amp is VPS3 series' default values. - 3 -

VIDEO OUT ALARM OUTPUT 2700-04-001 Description of OUTPUT panel: Fig 5. Detail of panel < OUTPUT > VIDEO OUT: to send the video signal out to a device, e.g. A monitor or DVR ALARM OUT: to send the alarm connection out for a further application. If alarm switch near camera side is activated, the ALARM LED will light red. RS485 (In/Out): There are two RS485 connections in this panel in order to link the previous RS485 device, or the next RS485 device in a Daisy Chain way. To receive RS485 data from the server (ex a control keyboard), to send RS485 data to a P/T/Z camera, and to pass RS485 data between RS485 devices. Normally people in the industrial field pronounce to use only 2 twisted pair cables to connect with RS485 connection; however, here we strongly request users to connect COM port of RS485 connection with P/T/Z Control Keyboard because most P/T/Z Control Keyboards use completely isolated (floating) power adaptor as its power supply. AUDIO OUT: to send out the audio signal to a device, e.g. monitor or speaker. The audio signal level output from the AUDIO OUT is exactly the same as what the AUDIO IN received at Sender Unit at Sender Unit. - 8 -
Further Description of VPS3 series Use of Alarm input type: This function allows users to set alarm switch in the camera side. When alarm switch, connected with INPUT side of Sender unit, is activated, ALARM led of LINK-OUT side of Sender unit and OUTPUT side of Viewer unit will light red, and the alarm signal will be simultaneously sent to the Viewer unit for further application. If the alarm switch is N.O. mode, users must select N.O. type in the LINK-OUT side of the Sender unit. Also if the alarm switch is N.C. mode, users must select N.C. type in the LINK-OUT side. Users can connect a buzzer or other alarm indicators with ALARM OUT of OUTPUT side for further application. For more details of this alarm function, please refer to document "How To Use Alarm" attached inside packing box. Introduction of POWER STATUS of LINK-OUT side of Sender unit When the LED is red, it implies power supply to camera is stand-by or not used. When the LED is green, it means power is loaded well to the camera. When the LED is Yellow, it means DC power is low. Please check if the cable used is over length limitation or the camera consumes over 1.0Amp. When the LED is flashing, it implies the power supply might fail due to the power is too low to offer any function Functions of LINK FAULT: This function tells users whether cable link is connected or not. There are four ways how LINK FAULT message works for users to select. 1.The Viewer unit sounds (a siren inside) while cable disconnected. Users can turn off and then turn on the power switch to shut off the siren, but LED will still flash yellow until cable connected. 2. If users do not want Viewer to sound while cable disconnected, they can bridge +12V and Override by a wire to hide the siren. But LED will still flash yellow until cable is connected again. 3. LINK FAULT message can be sent out to external indicators like a bulb, a buzzer, a relay or a meter if they are connected with both +12V and OUT of LINK-IN side with 2 copper wires or 2 twisted pair cables. 4. Users can also regard the LINK FAULT message as an Alarm signal and send this signal out of the Viewer for further application. In this case, please bridge both Override and OUT in LINK-IN side with a wire and connect ALARM OUT of OUTPUT side of the Viewer to Surveillance System in the Control Room. While cable disconnected, Alarm signal (LINK FAULT message) will be sent out of the ALARM OUT to the Surveillance System and ALARM LED in the OUTPUT side will also flash red at the same time. - 9 -

Connecting Sender unit The following illustration shows the connections for the Sender unit: INPUT Connection Connect the video signal from the video source, e.g. a P/T/Z camera, to VIDEO IN in the INPUT side. Connect a wire to the N.O./N.C. connection from sensors to the PTB connector ALARM IN in the INPUT side. Please refer to How to Use Alarm manual to improve safety and flexibility of alarm connection. Connect the power cord (DC 12V) from the DC OUT in the INPUT side to the video source, e.g. a P/T/Z camera. Connect a twist pair cord with RS-485 data from a RS485 device to the RS485 Port. Adding the 120 ohms terminator between A and B. Connect the audio signal from the audio source to the AUDIO IN of the INPUT side. Please use a connector adapter if the connector used is not BNC female type. LINK-OUT Connection Connect the LINK OUT of Sender with one end of a coaxial cable. Installation Notice: When setting up the VPS3 Sender unit and Viewer unit, be sure to note the following points: Both units should be fixed securely to a permanent object such as a wall or a pillar. Avoid locations with extreme vibrations or dust. Avoid locations with dampness or extreme heat. Adding one terminator at one end of RS485 Network with daisy chain is strongly recommended. - 11 -
Connecting Viewer unit The following illustration shows the connections for the Viewer unit: LINK-IN Connection Connect Link In of Viewer with one end of the coaxial cable, which is connected on the other end with Link Out of Sender. Please refer to Further Description of P.10 for LINK FAULT connection. Plug the power cord on and connect the AC power adapter to the DC POWER IN connector in the LINK IN side. OUTPUT Connection Connect VIDEO OUT with a video device, e.g. a monitor. Link the N.C. N.O. connection from the ALARM OUT with other further application or devices in Control Room. RS-485 port Users can connect at least 32 RS-485 devices with Viewer units in daisy chain. Connect with two RS485 devices with two PTB connectors separately by using twisted pair cables and ground wires. And adding one terminator at the end of RS485 daisy chain connection is required. Adding a 120 ohms terminator between A and B wires. It depends which port is the end of the daisy chain or not. Connect an audio device, e.g. a speaker, with audio signal from AUDIO OUT in the OUTPUT side. Please use a connector adapter if the connector used is not BNC female type. - 12 -
