CC640 Digital Camera

4.5 RS-485 Port

The RS-485 terminals can be used in conjunction with the MD485 to interface
a datalogger to the camera over distances of up to 4000 feet. The +12V GND
and EXT control lines cannot be practically run these long distances. Normally
the RS-485A and RS-485B lines, and an additional ground connection, are run
these distances. Refer to the MD485 manual for additional information.

5. Device Configuration Utility

The Device Configuration Utility can be used to set the clock on the camera as
well as other operating parameters such as the PakBus addresses.

Using The Device Configuration Utility

• Connect an appropriate power supply to the camera.

• Connect the RS-232 cable to the camera and the computer.

• Turn the Power switch to the “ON” position.

• Press the Setup Button (this temporarily forces the RS-232 port to

115KBAUD).

• Within 40 Seconds invoke the Device Configuration Utility (Figure 10).

• Select CC640 as the device and connect to the camera.

• Table 6 offers further information on configuration settings.
