Powering PTZ Keyboard
Power the keyboard using one of the following options:
Power Supply (included)
• Power voltage tolerance = 5V - 48V.
• The keyboard can be powered with at
least 5VDC. This allows for longer power
runs between the power source and the
keyboard.
• The keyboard can also tolerate 48VDC
power, which makes the keyboard suitable
for vehicle use (broadcast vans, commercial
vehicles, etc.).
PoE
PoE is a convenient way to power PTZ Keyboard as
it allows both data and power to be sent through the
same standard Ethernet cable. To take advantage of
PoE, the network switch that PTZ Keyboard is direct-
ly plugged into must support 15.4W PoE (802.3af).
• Connect the Ethernet IP port to PoE switch.
• Maximum distance is 80m using CAT6 Plus
cable.
Junction Box (included)
• Connect the Junction Box to the power
supply.
• Connect an Ethernet cable from the
controller port on the Junction Box to the
RS422 or RS232 port on the Keyboard.
Power supply is required at EITHER the keyboard OR
the Junction Box.
If the Junction Box is powered, no additional power supply is needed for the keyboard, as the Junc-
tion Box will provide power to the keyboard via the controller port.
