Notes:
1
On the AD2083-02B, address 64 was not used because it was reserved for host broadcast.
2
Some Outdoor SpeedDome Ultra Environmental enclosures only support one alarm input.
3
SpeedDome Optima and Optima LT respond to DirectSet command numbers as published in their manuals, but do not
have text overlay capability to display the on screen menu.
4
SpeedDome 2000ES and some older domes were non-programmable; therefore, they can not support presets,
patterns, peel, or flip features.

Legacy Dome Support

To simplify support of various dome types and generations, a simple connection setting will address the
following:
• Pattern accuracy issues with variable speed commands (corrected in 2004 with SpeedDome VII and
SpeedDome Optima; SpeedDome Ultra VI can be upgraded to VII with chip change).
• Older generation fixed speed domes (Mini, UTPZ and older were all EOL by 1992).
The default configuration supports the best performance of current production SpeedDome Ultra 8 and
SpeedDome Optima LT domes. This includes ZAP variable speed control in patterns and when the
return data channel is not present.
Dome presets (referred to as target, shot, or view) are only supported as stored in the dome and were
limited to seven presets with:
• All SpeedDome and SpeedDome Ultra models before SpeedDome Ultra III.
• SpeedDome Ultra III, IV, and V with RS-422/RS-485 control until version 3.05 firmware which supports
96 presets (SensorNet supports 96 presets on these with any firmware).
• Supports of legacy domes to the best practical performance level. However, not fully tested with all
legacy models, and the MPCPU will not compensate for latent dome defects.
All later models of SpeedDome Ultra and all models of SpeedDome Optima support 96 presets with RS-
422/RS-485 or SensorNet. Manchester is limited to 64 presets in all implementations.
