2 INTRODUCTION The EKB 500 universal keyboard was developed for both DVR remote control and telemetry control of speed domes and telemetry receivers. Ergonomic key alignment and the integrated jog/shuttle allow the convenient EverFocus DVR operation. 2 independent RS-485 interfaces enable installations with different telemetry protocols. The new firmware 1.5 allows easier operation also in complex systems with several DVR and PTZ cameras. 2.

4 KEYBOARD CONNECTORS 4.1 RS-485 PORTS EKB-500 provides two independent RS-485 ports with 2 RJ-45 plugs each (loop-through). Pin assignment: Pin Pin Pin Pin 1: 3: 6: 7: 12 VDC RS-485 + RS-485 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. 4.
5 INSTALLATION 5.1 GENERAL RS-485 BUS INSTALLATION EKB 500 uses an 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.
In case the maximum number of 32 bus participants is exceeded, the number of connected devices can be increased by using RS-485 distributors. Each distributor output physically provides one RS-485 bus which enables the additional connection of 31 further devices (the distributor output represents one bus participant itself). The maximum system expandability depends on the RS-485 address range of the installed devices. Attention: Most RS-485 signal distributors (e.g.

5.4 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. Applied protocol type: Pelco-D / Pelco-P (in accordance with dome / receiver) ATTENTION: Some Pelco-D / -P protocol domes and receivers require an address offset of -1 at the keyboard, i.e.
5.5 EVERFOCUS DVR CONNECTION The EKB 500 keyboard can control the following digital video recorders: EDSR series (despite EDSR100 19" model) EDR series (MPEG-4 series) EDVR series Paragon series Installation with standard network cable: For short distances, EKB 500 can directly be connected using a standard network cable (patch cable, uncrossed!). Connection with EDA998 connector kit: Place the EDA998 connector kit at the RS-485 bus for easy DVR installation. 13 EKB500_ma_en_rev1.5_3.

5.6 CONNECTION OF SEVERAL KEYBOARDS If several keyboards (max. 8) are used in a system, the RS-485 bus has to be looped through from keyboard to keyboard. Using both RS-485 interfaces (port 1 and 2), the 2nd bus connection must be effected separately as illustrated above by means of EDA-998 connection kits. Power supply can be installed either directly at the keyboard or with the included connection box. 5.7 START-UP After having finished the installation work, switch on the power.
