the Pelco 300 keyboard. Use Switch S3, bits 5 and 6 to change this setting as shown in section
8.3 Baud Rate Settings.

5.5 RS-485 Termination Resistor DIP Switch

This is switch 8 on DIP switch S3. The switch is needed for when multiple cameras are wired in
a true RS485 "network", where the Pelco KBD (or similar controller device) uses addressable
commands from one access point. This switch needs to be set to the "On" position for the last
Thermal Dome in the chain. While a small network may work even if this switch is not set to
"On, the system may be unstable and reliability compromised.
For the best reliability, the last camera (certainly for a large installation) should have this RS485
switch set to "On" and the remaining cameras have the switch set to "Off". The default setting of
this switch is "Off".

5.6 Reassembling and Running Self-Check

Before installation, reassemble the dome and run the self-check.
1. Reconnect the ribbon cable and white cable between the PC board and electronic
interface board.
2. Insert the cylinder into the bottom section and turn clockwise until you hear a click. The
click indicates the cylinder is locked in place.
3. Slide the trim ring into the slots on the Dome edge and turn clockwise to tighten.
4. Before you install the camera into the ceiling, connect the power, video, and serial
cables to your security network and run the self-check.
NOTE: if you encounter a problem or malfunction please refer to the Troubleshooting section
for recommendations.

6. Using Your D-Series Camera

6.1. IR Imaging Views

The D-Series Camera is easy to use, but you should take a moment to carefully read this
section so you fully understand what you are seeing on your display. While the imagery you will
see on the monitor may look like black and white daylight video, it isn't! A few tips on how to
interpret some of the imagery will help you to make the most of your system.
Turn on the camera using the on/off switch on the power supply. After the self-check, you can
use the joystick to control the pan and tilt features of the camera. Controlling the camera's
direction becomes intuitive after a few minutes of experimenting. The camera automatically
adjusts to changing scene conditions so no additional adjustments of contrast or brightness are
necessary.
The thermal imager inside the camera does not sense light like conventional cameras; it senses
heat or temperature differences. As you experiment with the system during daylight and
