Step 2: Install the block video camera module on the vertical axis tray of the dome as illustrated in Figure 7 using the (4) supplied M2*4 screws. Attention: Exercise care not to scratch the lens when installing the camera. (as a precaution leave the protective camera lens cap in place until ready to use the dome.
2.3 Camera Shroud installation. Figure 10. Illustrates the location of the screw holes for the camera shroud. (4 x M3) Figure 11. Illustrates the camera shroud in position over the camera module Screw holes of camera shroud Fig. 10 Step 1 : Position the open end of the camera shroud towards the camera lens as illustrated on Figure 11.
2.4 Wall bracket installation. Step 1: Feed the supplied dome wiring harness through the channel inside the wall bracket as illustrated in Figure 13. Verify that the 8 pin connector is remaining outside the opening of the bracket. Step 2: Affix the wall bracket to the wall verifying that the surface you are attaching to can support the weight of the dome using either expanding anchors or butterfly fasteners as illustrated in Figure 14.
2.5 Attaching the dome to the bracket Step 1: C onnect the end of the wiring harness protruding out of the bracket to the mating connector on the dome unit. Observe proper orientation of the connectors (tab facing towards the back of the connector), as illustrated in Figure 15.
2.6 Installation of the acrylic dome cover The dome cover has two parts, a metal aluminum ring and a clear acrylic dome. The metal ring has male fine threads that will allow it to mate with the aluminum cover of the dome mechanism. Caution should be exercised when handling the clear dome preventing any abrasions or scratches to the surface as this will affect the optical performance of the camera.
2.7 Wiring Specifications The wiring Harness has a label affixed indicating the Power, Video and Communication conductors. Do not remove this label as it may be a useful future reference. Figure 20 is the illustration of the wiring diagram for the electrical connections to the dome unit. Figure 21 illustrates the wiring harness included with the dome.
Chapter 3: Wiring and Setup 3.1 Basic Configuration The illustration below provides the basic electrical wiring configuration for connecting and testing a single dome to a test monitor and a joystick / keyboard controller. When installing the product for the first times please read the installation instructions carefully and become familiar with the electrical connections and setup options.
3.2 Connecting Multiple Domes When connecting multiple domes together, the user has the option to connect video and control terminals to a video matrix switcher or a DVR multiplexer creating an integrated system. AC24V: Power supply Primary 110V/60H RS-485 Bus: Control signal output from joystick controller, connected in a bus configuration to the RS485 communication terminals of the control cable for each dome.
3.3 Communication Settings Before installation and use, the unique address for each dome and the communication protocol including transmission speed (baud rate) should be set to correspond with the chosen control system. Setting the Protocol and baud rate settings for each dome device. CAUTION: The protocol and baud rate of dome device should match the settings of the controller.

Address Setting for dome Note: This dip switch is located on PCB in the control board just below the camera module 4.4 Connect the power to the dome As soon as the power is turned ON, the dome initiates a self test which includes a rotation of the dome on both axis and the camera will display a brief menu followed by a live image on the monitor.
5 Program and Operation 5.1 Main menu The following commands are references to the keyboard controlling the dome. Depending the make and model of the controller these commands may vary slightly. For reference purposes the following key labels / acronyms are used: SHOT = PRESET or PRST - ACK = ENTER - OPEN =Iris open - CLOSE = Iris Close 1.
