- Cable Restraint
- 1. Locate the cable restraint on the back left side of the camera.
- 2. Insert cable(s) through the cable restraint from left to right.
- 3. Tighten the restraint by pulling on the strap’s “free” end to prevent any cable from becoming dislodged. (The cable restraint is reusable and adjustable).
- 4. Group the cables with all the other cables connected to the connector box and follow the instructions below to feed them through the lower cable restraint.
- 1. Insert all cables (upper and lower) through the cable restraint from left to right. This will result in the cables being located approximately in the center of the camera, instead of near the edge.
- 2. Tighten the restraint by pulling on the strap’s “free” end to prevent any cable from becoming dislodged.

- System Startup
- 1. Just switch the Power button on the back of the CameraMan DIGITAL Camera to the ON position. The Camera should automatically enter its position calibration mode and then stop at the zero degree point.
- 2. Verify that the camera is now facing in the direction the “FRONT” label was pointing during mounting.
- 3. If you are using the Camera Control Keypad or DIGITAL SHOT Director, make sure its base unit address is the same as on the camera. If they are, verify that the camera’s PAN and TILT functions are working properly.

- Appendix B
- Multi-Camera Applications
- 1. Connect cameras together by plugging the Grass Valley T-connector into the RS-485 port on the back of the camera.
- 2. Connect each camera using a 4-conductor cable, with 4-position modular handset plugs wired straight-through:
- 3. Using the BASE UNIT ADDRESS rotary switch located on the back of the Camera, configure each camera with a unique Base Unit Address; i.e. Camera One set with address 0, Camera Two set with address 1, and so on.
- 4. To control each camera with your Camera Control Keypad, the rotary switch inside the keypad battery compartment must match the lowest Base Unit Address in your system.
