2.2 Configuration of Fastrax IV Dome Camera System Figure 4 – Basic installation diagram...
Page 11
The Fastrax IV Dome Camera may be used in a Pelco coaxitron controlled system with all functions and capabilities available. For control the transmission mode you should be following Step: 1. Adjust the ID(DIP switch)*. Device ID should be the same as Camera ID. 2.
Figure 6 – Layout of Switches 2.3 Setting Dome Camera Termination The device which is connected at end of line, whether it be a dome camera or keyboard controller, must have the cable for communication terminated by setting the appropriate DIP switch.
2.4 Fail-safe Network When you control the dome by the other device not own keyboard, some error may be existed in the serial communication. The reason is caused by the other device without the fail-safe network. At this time, you solve the problem to set this DIP switch to ON of the nearest dome from the other device only.
2.5 Setting Dome Camera Address (ID) To prevent damage, each dome camera must have a unique address (ID). When installing multiple dome cameras using a multiplexer, it is suggested that the dome camera address match the multiplexer port number. If you want to set the address more than 999, you should contact the service provider. Example: Port 1 = Dome 1, Port 2 = Dome 2 …...
2.6 SETTING DOME CAMERA PROTOCOL If a dome camera is to be installed with a Fastrax keyboard controller, select the default protocol. Consult service personnel if a dome camera is installed with device other than a keyboard controller. UNCTION NTSC S4-1 Enable Disable...
2.7 Connections • Connecting to the RS485/ 422 The dome camera can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as a control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex, RS422 full duplex or simplex serial communications signals. Connect Marked Tx+, Tx- to Tx+(Rx+) and Tx-(Rx-) of the RS485 control system.

Appendix C — Glossary Alarm Actions The assigned responses for the dome camera when inputs change from normal to abnormal states. The dome may run a Preset, Pattern, or have no assigned action for each of the eight dome inputs. The dome may also send alarm states to the host controller for processing. See also Input Alarm and Normal Input State.
IR Mode A feature of the camera that permits manual or automatic switching between color and IR (black-and-white) operation. When IR mode is active, clearer images may be obtained under low-light conditions. Line Lock Allows you to phase lock the video with the AC power line. When line lock is enabled, it prevents vertical video rolling when switching multiple cameras to a single monitor.
Privacy Zones Masked areas of the dome camera's viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the surveillance system from viewing these designated zones.
