  • Page 6: Introduction

    The PowerDome has three built-in receivers, two for RS485, PowerDome, and Pelco D, and one for coaxial UTC control. The dome automatically detects the current protocol. UTC control requires a Vista Triplex Columbus hard disk recorder and a minimum of one keyboard. See Figure 1. A minimum of one keyboard is required for RS485 control.

    Recommended cable size is 22 gauge (0.64 mm). Note: When using the UTP interface modules Vista recommends that you use only active receivers. For UTC control, only a video coaxial cable is required.
