Installing the MaxCom Gold
The following figure shows the unit dimensions for installation purposes. The unit
weighs 1.25kg. There are two slots on each side of the unit for mounting the
unit. Use mounting hardware that is appropriate for the weight of the unit and the
surface the unit is being mounted on. For example, if the unit is being mounted
on a metal surface, ensure metal screws capable of supporting 1.3kg are used
when securing the unit; if the unit is being mounted on a wood surface, ensure
wood screws capable of supporting 1.3kg are used when securing the unit.

The rear panel connectors vary depending on the product configuration (16/2, 16/1, 8/2, 8/1) For example, a model 8/2 will have 8
camera inputs, 2 monitor outputs and 2 KBD connectors. A model 8/1 will have 8 camera inputs, 1 monitor output, and 1 KBD
connector).

3.1
KBD1 and KBD2
The KBD1 and KBD2 are used for connecting RS485 keyboards (handsets) to
the MaxCom Gold. If the MaxCom Gold is configured for one monitor output,
there is one keyboard connector (KBD1). If there are two monitors outputs, then
there are two keyboard connectors (KBD1 and KBD2). The keyboard connectors
are ‘RJ’ Type Connectors. A cable with 8-pin RJ45-type plugs on both ends is
provided for connection between a keyboard and the MaxCom Gold. Note: For
units with one (1) monitor output, one keyboard cable is provided. For units with
two (2) monitor outputs, two keyboard cables are provided.
Note 1: A separate 12V dc power supply (in addition to the power supply
provided with the MaxCom Gold) is required to power each keyboard.
Note 2: If both an RS485 keyboard and an RS232 keyboard (RS232 CTRL
connector) are connected to the MaxCom Gold and set up to control the same
monitor, the RS232 keyboard has priority over the RS485 keyboard. Refer to the
Owner Operation Guide for more information.

Monitor Outputs (BNC)
There is one (1) or two (2) monitor output BNC connectors depending on the
MaxCom Gold product configuration. Using RG-59 (75-ohm) coaxial cable with
BNC connectors installed on both ends, connect one end to the Monitor output
BNC connector and the other end to the video input on a video device such as a
monitor or VCR. The last video device should be terminated with 75 ohms. In the
case of the 2 monitor output units, monitor 1 is always the alarm display monitor.
3.3
Cameras (BNC)
There are eight (8) or sixteen (16) camera input BNC connectors depending on
the MaxCom Gold product configuration. Using RG-59 (75 ohm) coaxial cable
with BNC connectors installed on both ends, connect one end to the Camera
input BNC connector on the MaxCom Gold and connect the other end to the
video output on a video device such as a camera.
There are termination switches on the bottom of the MaxCom Gold unit. The left
bank of switches (1-8) are for video inputs 1-8. The right bank of switches (1-8)
are for video inputs 9-16. If a video input is not used, the switch for that input
should be set to ON, terminated.
Switch On ↑ = 75Ω Termination
Switch Off ↓ = High Impedance
Note: Switches are shown in the ON position.

Co Axial Video Cabling Notes
There are a number of precautions that must be considered before running the
co axial cables to minimise the possibility of problems with the video signal.
The quality and specification of the cable used will have a
direct affect on the quality of the video signal at the control
equipment end of the system.
Compromising the cable quality and specification can lead
to poor video quality and system performance
Always keep co axial cables away from all other cables
and run them in complete isolation wherever possible.
Never run the cables close to potential sources of
electromagnetic interference such as motors, dimmers
and high-speed data trunk cables.
When other cables cannot be avoided run across them,
not alongside and keep this distance as short as possible.
3.5
PC Connector
The PC connector is a 9-pin ‘D’ type socket connector for connection to an IBMcompatible computer (PC). This connection is used to upgrade the flash
memory and to configure the MaxCom Gold using software utilities. The
software utilities to perform these functions are on the CD included with the
MaxCom Gold. The required cable is not supplied with the unit. A 9-pin ‘D’ plug
with covers is supplied for connection to an IBM-compatible computer (PC). Use
4-core overall screened 7/0.2 type cable (or better). Connect the cable screen to
the Ground connection (pin 5).

RS232 CTRL Connector
The RS232 CTRL input connector is a 9-pin ‘D’ plug for connecting the MaxCom
Gold to an RS232 keyboard. Note: If both an RS485 keyboard (KBD1 or KBD2)
and an RS232 keyboard (RS232 CTRL connector) are connected to the
MaxCom Gold and set up to control the same monitor, the RS232 keyboard has
priority over the RS485 keyboard. Refer to the MaxCom Owners Operation
Guide for more information.
The required cables to connect to the RS232 CTRL connector are not provided
with the MaxCom Gold. A 9-pin ‘D’ socket with covers is provided for connection
to this connector. Use 4-core overall screened 7/0.2 type cable (or better).
Connect the cable screen to the Ground connection (pin 5).

The RS232 connector is also used for system interrogation. For example, when
transmission equipment needs to control spheres etc present on the MaxCom
system.
3.7
Alarm Inputs (Relay Outputs)
The Alarm Inputs connector is a 25-pin ‘D’ socket connector. A 25-pin ‘D’ plug
and cover is provided for connection to this connector. The required cable is not
provided with the MaxCom Gold.
When connecting the alarms for the MaxCom Gold, ensure that all alarm-input
connections are ‘Volt Free’. One side of the alarm contact must be connected to
the respective alarm input (pins 1-16). The other side of the alarm contact must
be connected to the alarm common (pin 25).
This connector also provides connections for two relay outputs to control other
equipment such as a VCR. For each output, connect one wire to the relay
normally open or normally closed contact and the other wire to the relay common
contact. For example: to wire Relay 1 as normally open, connect one wire to pin
21 (relay 1 normally open contact) and one wire to pin 22 (relay 2 common).
3.7.1 Relay Operation
Relay 1 and Relay 2 are Normally Open. Relay 1 closes when an alarm is
detected and stays closed until all alarms are inactive and timed out. Relay 2
closes for 1 second when relay 1 opens (i.e. when all alarms are inactive and
timed out).

TP (Twisted Pair) Connector
The TP Connector is an ‘RJ’ type connector for outputting RS485 control data to
the Microspheres or to a MaxCom8ITP. The MaxCom8ITP provides one control
input and eight control outputs. If installing a MaxCom 8ITP, the TP connector
on the MaxCom Gold is connected to the control input on the MaxCom8ITP.
The microspheres are then connected to the outputs on the MaxCom8ITP.
Refer to the MaxCom8IPT installation guide for wiring.
A 3m cable is included with the MaxCom Gold. One end has an RJ45 type
screened plug for connection to the MaxCom Gold and the other end has
stripped wires for connection to a Microsphere(s) or a MaxCom8ITP.

Note: The cable screen must be cut back and insulated near to the Microspheres. The
screen must be connected at the transmitter (MaxCom Gold TP connector). The cable
screens must be joined to each other at each Microsphere to provide a continuous
screen the length of the daisy-chain. However, do not connect the screen to the
Microsphere. Insulate the screen using rubber sleeving or heatshrink.

Figure 9. DAISY-CHAIN WIRING MICROSPHERES FROM MAXCOM GOLD
Refer to notes A and B when connecting directly to a Microsphere. Refer to
notes A and C when connecting to a MaxCom8ITP.
Note A: The cable may be extended using 4-core 7/0.2 screened cable (two
unused cores must be insulated to prevent short circuits). This is not
advisable for long distances. VCL recommends using proper shielded
twisted pair cable for distance. Connections are to be made using screw
terminal strips, crimped/insulated in-line connectors, or insulated solder
joints.
Note B: The cable screen must be cut back and insulated near to the
Microsphere. The screen MUST be connected at the transmitter.
Connect the screen at the transmitter end ONLY. When daisy chain
wiring Microspheres, the cable screens at each cable junction must be
joined to each other to provide a continuous screen the length of the
daisy chain. However, do not actually connect the screen to the
Microsphere.
Note C: The cable screens MUST be connected at both ends and form a
continuous screen along the entire length of the cable between the
MaxCom Gold and the MaxCom 8ITP.

12V DC Connector
The 12V DC connector is a 4-pin RJ45-type connector for supplying power to the
unit. A 230V AC input to 12V DC output power supply is provided with the
MaxCom Gold unit.
Use only a 12V DC power supply to power
the MaxCom Gold.
