A NOTE BEFORE BEGINNING 1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Each camera controlled by the VLC485 must have a unique address. The default address for most cameras is "1". See the instructions for your camera for steps to change the address. The VLC485 is a pan/tilt controller that ties together the major elements of an integrated system and provides a single human interface for the system.

2.0 CONTROL OF THE BASIC FUNCTIONS 1.6 CONNECTIONS There are five connectors on the VLC485 Controller. These connectors are a 9-pin connector for RS232 connections to a PC, a 9-pin connector for RS232 connections to an external device, a 4-pin compression connector for the RS485/422 pan/tilt network, and a 9-pin terminal for alarm inputs. The RS232 ports are configured as data communication equipment (DCE) ports. 2.
2.5 AUTO TOUR 3.1 DOME TYPE SELECTION The VLC485 can accommodate pan/tilts that support Auto tour functions. To start a pan/tilt on an Autotour, press the AUTO TOUR button. (For Pelco Protocols enter the pattern before pressing Auto Tour) Moog designed the VLC485 to support RS485/422 control protocols from a number of manufacturers. Dome type selection is independent of the camera position, which means that you can build a system using multiple dome types.
3.4 AUTO TOUR DWELL (Available only for Moog and Kalatel) 3.6.2 TO ADD A CAMERA TO A SEQUENCE Auto tour Dwell defines how long the pan/tilt will stay at each preset in the auto tour. This parameter is preset in the pan/tilt, but the VLC485 allows you to override that setting via the menu if this feature is supported by the pan/tilt. A range from 3 to 99 seconds can be set. A sequence may contain up to 16 camera entries.
3.7 SEQUENCE DWELL 4.0 PC PORT The sequence dwell interval defines how long the camera will stay active in the sequence. The factory default dwell time is 3 seconds, but this may be changed to any time between 1 and 99 seconds. The VLC485 uses the PC port to communicate with the serial communications port of a PC or modem. The PC or other connected device uses a protocol to control either the VLC485 or other devices connected to the VLC485, such as the pan/tilt units.
4.4 PRESET AND DOME PARAMETER MESSAGES 4.6 CUSTOM CONTROLLER LCD MESSAGES These commands control the position presets and some of the operational parameters of the pan/tilt platform. These messages all comprise 5 bytes; the Data is contained in bytes 2 and 3 as described in the following table.
