6. KEYBOARD CONNECTORS RS-485 ports EKB-500 provides two independent RS-485 ports with 2 RJ-45 plugs each (loop-through). Pin assignment: Pin 1: 12 VDC Pin 3: RS-485 + Pin 6: RS-485 - Pin 7: Ground Pin assignment RJ-45 connector connector box Delivery comprises a connector box for RS-485 and 12 VDC power supply connection enabling power supply connection either directly to the EKB 500 keyboard or through the connector box.
7. INSTALLATION 7.1. General RS-485 bus installation EKB 500 uses a RS-485 simplex wiring; the signal is transferred via a single twisted pair line. CAT5 network cable is recommended, UTP version (unshielded) is sufficient for normal application. A shielded cable should be used if the installed cables are expected to be highly susceptible to interferences. The number of devices installed in one bus is limited to 32 (expandable through signal distributors), while max.
Page 9
RS-485 signal distributors may be used for star wiring. The maximum system cable length can also be expanded by using these distributors, physically providing a new RS-485 bus with 1200 m cable length each at every distributor output. In case the maximum number of 32 bus participants is exceeded, the number of connected devices can be increased by using RS-485 distributors.
7.4. Connection of Pelco-D / -P protocol-compatible devices Basic functions of speed domes and telemetry receivers compatible to Pelco-D / -P protocol can be controlled with the EKB 500 keyboard if a simplex RS-485 connection option is provided. For general connection, please refer to the chart illustrated above.
7.5 EDSR / EDR/ EDVR series’ DVR connection The EKB 500 keyboard can control the following digital video recorders: EDSR series (despite EDSR100 19" model) EDR-410/810/920/1640/EDVR series (MPEG-4 series) Installation with standard network cable: For short distances, EKB 500 can directly be connected using a standard network cable (patch cable, uncrossed!).
