    If the problem persists, call Technical Support at 1-800-323-4576 (ext. 2) or e-mail HVSsupport@honeywell.com. Note Any equipment returned to Honeywell Systems Group for warranty or service repair must have a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number must be clearly marked on all return packages and internal paperwork.

Ensure that DIP switches SW5 and SW6 on the scan assembly circuit board are set for the correct protocol, baud rate, and parity. The dome must be set the same as the control equipment.

    Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Using Diagnostic Options You can troubleshoot problems using the dome’s on-screen display menus. Displaying Voltages You can view the actual voltages measured at the dome versus the supply voltages. The 15 V supply is used to operate the camera. The 3.3 V supply is used to operate the printed circuit boards in the scan assembly and housing.

    Operating NightShot (TDN) on ACUIX PTZ Camera Blocks, page This appendix provides additional information about automatic exposure (AE) to assist you in configuring the ACUIX High Speed PTZ dome to meet your specific requirements. About the Lens Iris or Aperture and the F-Number The lens iris, or aperture, determines how much light is transmitted through the lens to the sensor.
  • Page 116: About Video Gain, Shutter Speed, And Spectral Response

    Understanding Automatic Exposure and NightShot About Video Gain, Shutter Speed, and Spectral Response The terms auto iris, manual iris, and iris control are used to describe the general concept of exposure control. Exposure control includes both auto exposure (AE) and manual exposure control. Most modern camera blocks use video gain, shutter speed and spectral response controls, in addition to iris control, to accomplish exposure control.

    ACUIX™ PTZ High Speed Analog Dome Installation and Configuration Guide Spectral Response and How it Relates to NightShot/TDN The silicon video image sensors used in CCTV cameras are sensitive to visible light and near infrared (IR) light. Figure C-2 shows that the typical spectral response of a CCD video image sensor extends from blue at 400 nm through red at 700 nm to the near IR at 1000 nm.

    About ACUIX PTZ Dome Manual Exposure Control ACUIX PTZ Dome: 18× and 26× Camera Blocks The manual exposure control for the ACUIX 18× and 26× cameras is a true manual exposure control. For decreasing light conditions the manual exposure control operates in the following sequence: 1.

    3. Decrease shutter time until it reaches the minimum shutter time. ACUIX PTZ Dome: 35× Camera Blocks It is not recommended you operate the 35× camera block in full manual mode. For this reason, the ACUIX has four manual exposure modes available with the 35× camera block: Shutter Priority In this mode the shutter time is manually controlled but the video gain and lens iris remain in auto mode.

    Blocks The ACUIX PTZ dome application firmware controls the NightShot (TDN) function of the 18× and 26× camera blocks that are part of your ACUIX scan assembly. The firmware controls this by monitoring the video gain and shutter time. You can also configure the specific values at which the camera switches from day mode to night mode and from night mode to day mode using the on-screen display (OSD) menus [from the OSD, select 5 Camera Options >...

    0 dB and 1/60 s, with the activate point set far enough below that to ensure that the ACUIX does not oscillate between day and night modes at any point in the light level range found in the application. With this setting the ACUIX switches to night mode with a black and white picture at the highest possible light level.
