Azimuth, Elevation, and Compass Directions

The VG5 AutoDome allows a user to display the azimuth and elevation position, and the
compass heading of the camera. The AutoDome displays the position data in the lower-right
corner of the image display. These readings are described as:
Azimuth:
Elevation:
Compass:
The AutoDome uses the azimuth to determine the compass direction. The following table
shows the azimuth range and its corresponding compass heading:
Azimuth Range
21° to 65°
66° to 110°
111° to 155°
156° to 200°
201° to 245°
246° to 290°
291° to 335°
336° to 20°

Setting the Azimuth Zero Point

The installer must calibrate the Azimuth Zero point. The AutoDome uses the Azimuth Zero
point, usually set to magnetic North, as the zero degree pan position and as the North
compass heading. The AutoDome then displays the azimuth reading and the compass heading
based on the number of degrees from the Azimuth Zero point.
To set the Azimuth Zero point:
1.
2.
3.
CAUTION!
Bosch recommends that only the installer calibrate the Azimuth Zero point. A recalibration to
the Azimuth Zero point may cause inaccurate compass headings.
