AutoDome Modular Camera System
4 Pelco® Protocol Mode
The Pelco Mode features Auto Baud Detection that automatically detects and adjusts the
AutoDome protocol and baud rate to match that of the controller. The AutoDome responds to
Pelco-D or Pelco-P protocol commands.
NOTICE! The AutoDome supports only the RS-485 protocol while in Pelco mode. It does not
i
transmit responses back to the controller.

Address Guidelines

–
–
NOTICE! A previously configured AutoDome with an address above 32 (Pelco-P upper limit) or
254 (Pelco-D upper limit) can be used without readdressing the unit. However, no two (2)
i
addresses can be the same. For example:
Pelco-P addresses above 32 are repeated in multiples of 32 (1, 33, 65, 97 are the same).
Pelco-D addresses above 254 are repeated in multiples of 254 (1, 255, 509, 763 are the
same).

Connect the controller's TX terminals to the AutoDome's TxD terminals. See the
AutoDome Modular Camera System Installation Manual for complete wiring instructions.
Pan or tilt the keyboard joystick to confirm that control has been established to the
AutoDome (approximately five (5) seconds).
