Application diagram
An advanced Legend system integrates alarms and relays. Each dome provides 8 alarm
inputs, 2 relay outputs, 127 presets, 16 ShadowTours (up to 20 minutes total), and 32 macros
(up to 16 steps each).
TIP
The Legend protocol is backward
compatible, so you can replace older
domes in an existing Digiplex system with
Legend domes. The hardware, however, is
not backward compatible.

TIPs
•For data, you have the choice of
connecting UTP for RS-422 or
connecting STP for RS-485.
- If you are installing RS-485,
float the shield at the dome and
ground it at the keypad.
- If you are daisy-chaining domes,
connect the incoming and outgoing
cables to the MAIN terminals.
•For video, you have the choice of
connecting UTP or coaxial.
- If you are installing coaxial video,
use only crimp-on BNC connectors.
•For power, feed the cable over the top
of the upper bracket, never through the
center. Power is not polarity sensitive.
•For alarms, use dry contacts.
•For relays, use a maximum operating
voltage of 30 VAC, 30 VDC at 0.5 A.
•Because of space constraints, if you are
installing more than five alarms and/or
relays, use a multiple-conductor cable
instead of individual single-pair cables.
•If heaters are present, route all cables
away from them.

TIPs
•Set termination to ON if the
dome or device is the final
receiver location.
•Set termination to OFF if the
data signal is looping out to
other domes or devices.

TIPs
•The Legend protocol supports all of
the common commands of other
manufacturers’ keypads and protocols,
such as PelcoD, Ultrak, Impac/485, and
ASCII.
•To verify your keypad’s version, press
and hold the mon key until the keypad
beeps, then press the key.
•You can either enter the camera site
number with the preceding zeros (such
as 0003), or you can enter the camera
number without the preceding zeros
(such as 3) and press set ( ).
Note: Later keypad versions allow 4-digit camera
site numbers, while earlier keypad versions
allow 2- or 3-digit numbers.
•You can either enter passcodes by
pressing number keys on the keypad or
by opening the keyboard in the program-
ming interface. Selecting the ab icon
opens the keyboard. Pressing the esc key
clears numbers entered from the keypad.
Accessing and navigating the menus
Accessing the menus
1. Starting at the keypad (a GE KTD-405
keypad), press and hold the set ( ) key
until you hear a beep and the programming
code display appears on the keypad’s LCD.
2. Press the 9, 5, 1, and seq (
seq
) keys.
3. Press 3on keypads of version 1.2.09 or later
to select CAMERA. If using a keypad of
version 1.1.06 or earlier, press 3on the first
screen to select CAMERA/RCVR, then press 1
to select CYBERDOME on a second screen.
4. Enter the dome’s 4-digit camera site number
(fewer digits with older keypads). See TIPS.
The joystick now becomes a simulated
mouse and drives a cursor on the monitor
screen over the menus of the graphical
programming interface.
5. If passcodes are turned on, select your
passcode level and enter your passcode.
If passcodes are not turned on, you will be
taken directly to the main menu.
You can now access any programming
parameters allowed by your passcode.
If passcodes were turned on during installation (or later), access to the menus of the graphical
programming interface will be passcode-protected. Otherwise, you will be taken directly to the
main menu. For details about passcodes, see the installation and user manuals.
5 | Accessing and navigating the menus

TIPs
•The timeout of the keypad controls the
display of the programming interface.
The GE KTD-405 keypad times out after
five minutes of inactivity. The program-
ming interface will therefore time out
after five minutes, as well, but the
system will sit on the enter camera
number display on the keypad’s LCD.
You have another five minutes within
which to reenter the camera number.
•For screens that have tabs, be aware
that the last tab accessed previously
will be the first tab accessed the next
time you enter a page.
6 | Accessing and navigating the menus
Navigating the menus
While in the menus of the programming interface, the joystick of your keypad operates in two
modes depending on what you are doing.
•While moving among the menus, the joystick is a simulated mouse and you enter commands
using the joystick.
•While controlling live video, the joystick is a video controller. When the joystick is a video
controller, you will use the keys of the keypad to enter commands.

7 | Basic programming TIPs
•There are 127 presets (1 through 127) for
each dome. If you are using presets 62
and 63 for the left and right autopan limits,
then you have a total of 125 presets.
•Most keypads have a limited number of
preset numbers they can call. If you are
using a 1.2.09 or later version of the GE
KTD-405 keypad, you can call up all 127
preset numbers directly from the keypad.
Earlier versions of the keypad can call
up only the first 63 preset numbers.
Note: To verify your keypad’s version, press and
hold the mon key until the keypad beeps,
then press the key.
•If the keypad does not allow you to
program preset numbers 1 through 57
using the store key, you will need to
enable the lower preset numbers in the
keypad’s programming. Refer to the
keypad’s user manual.
•The dome provides the ability to remap
any preset or tour command coming in
from a keypad to activate any of the 127
presets, 16 tours, or 32 macro actions.
This enables you to manually initiate
any of the expanded capabilities of the
dome from keypad controllers with

10 | Advanced programming - cautions, autopan limits, and pan and tilt coordinates
For all installations, heed these cautions:
•If you are using passcodes, record them
in a secure place. If you forget the
passcodes for a dome, you will need to
send the dome back to the factory so
that it can be reset with no passcodes.
•Clearing memory replaces your custom
settings with the factory default settings.
Cautions and performance requirements
The information contained in this quick guide is condensed from the user manual. Please refer to
the user manual for complete details, when necessary.
Autopan limits
When setting autopan limits, be aware that
you must set both the right and left limit in
the same tilt hemisphere (positive or negative).
You can set them in either tilt hemisphere, but
you cannot cross hemispheres, meaning that
you cannot pass the bottommost point or turn
the camera upside down. Allowing the camera
to E-flip will create an invalid set of autopan
limits that may cause unexpected camera
performance.
Pan and tilt coordinates
As shown, you can choose one of several coordinate systems to display the pan and tilt
coordinates of the camera on the monitor screen.
Pan coordinates Tilt coordinates
Choices: Bearings, Degrees 360°, and Degrees ±180° Choices: Degrees 180° and Degrees ±90°

The Exposure and Day/Night relationship
Exposure is a camera feature that establishes what controls the light coming into the camera through the lens. Day/Night is a camera feature that
switches the camera mode from color (day) to monochrome (night) and removes the IR cut filter, which increases the camera’s sensitivity in low light.
It also allows the camera to function with IR lighting.
The Day/Night feature works only if the Control option of the Exposure feature is set to Auto. Two conditions can prevent the camera from switching
between the color and monochrome modes according to the Day/Night setting. One, if you’ve overridden the Auto setting of Exposure | Control with
manual commands from the keypad. Two, if you’ve called a preset (or a command containing a preset) that is programmed to override the Auto setting
of Exposure | Control.
In the second scenario, the camera returns to the Auto setting of Exposure | Control after you leave the preset. In the first scenario, you must issue a
command to return to the Auto setting of Exposure | Control. Using the iris key on the keypad manually adjusts the camera’s iris setting or shutter
speed, overriding the Auto setting of Exposure | Control. You must issue a pan or tilt command from the keypad to leave the manual override and return
to the Auto setting of Exposure | Control. While you remain in the manual override, the color and monochrome modes of the Day/Night setting will not
switch according to the changes in the lighting conditions. See the user manual for details.
11 | Advanced programming - privacy masks and the Exposure and Day/Night relationship
Privacy masks
When creating privacy masks, it is common
practice to make them at least 50% larger than
the areas that you wish to cover so that the
masked areas are properly covered. Also, be
aware that privacy masks cannot be created in
the area directly below the dome.
Make masks 50% larger than areas to be covered Make no masks directly below the dome

higher priority alarm will override the lower
priority alarm. The lower priority alarm will
be restarted only if it is still being triggered
after the higher priority alarm has finished.
•The only relay states that you need to clear
are those that are set to Infinite duration.
•Clear Infinite duration relay states by:
(1) selecting a Relay Off button; (2) using
another alarm command that sets the relay
with a duration of at least one second; or
(3) using a remapped preset command that
activates a macro.
•You can make a relay action a default action
upon the power-up of the dome by selecting
the Relay 1 on or the Relay 2 on button on
the Relay State screen.
To program an alarm:
1. Access the menus (page 5).
2. Select Alarms and Contact Setup.
3. Select a contact number.
4. Select a contact type.
5. Optional: Give the alarm a name.
6. Optional: Assign an alarm action.
7. Select an action number, if an action was
assigned.
8. Optional: Add one or two relay actions.
9. Select relay durations, if relays were added.
10. Complete steps 3 through 9 for additional
alarms.
11. Select Priority and arrange the priority of
the alarms from the highest to the lowest.
12 | Advanced programming - alarms
TIP
When changing settings on any program-
ming page, you need to confirm the new
settings by selecting OK on that page.
Alarms
You can program up to eight alarm inputs and
two relay outputs per dome. Each alarm input
can call up (display) any preset, macro
(programmed routine), or ShadowTour. Legend
domes do not handle alarms in the same way
as most other alarm equipment. You need to be
aware of the key differences. See the user
manual for complete details.
Key differences of dome alarms
•Each dome alarm can include one dome action
(not required) and one or two relay actions.
•The Resume feature is disabled by alarms.
•Dome alarms are not acknowledged.
•When a dome alarm is set to a preset, tour,
or macro, the camera will stay with that action
until the operator issues a command from the
keypad. Resume will then be reenabled.
•Dome alarms are prioritized.
•Dome alarms are not held in a queue. Only
the highest priority alarm that is triggered
is actioned.
•If several dome alarms are triggered at the
same time, the next highest priority alarm is
actioned only if it is still being triggered after
the higher priority alarm has finished.
•If a higher priority alarm is triggered while a
lower priority alarm is being actioned, the

13 | Advanced programming - command mapping
Command mapping
The dome provides the ability to remap any preset or tour command coming in from a keypad to
activate any of the 127 presets, 16 tours, or 32 macro actions. This enables you to manually initiate
any of the expanded capabilities of the dome from keypad controllers with limited capability.
Command mapping does not affect any of the internal command operations the dome performs,
such as resume and alarm actions. It only affects the actions the dome will perform when it
receives a command from an external device (keypad or alarm interface).
An example of remapping is using a preset command from the keypad (for example, Preset 7) to
run a macro (for example, Macro 1). In the command map programming, you would select the
command you wish to use (in this case, Preset 7) and remap that command to activate an assigned
action (in this case, Macro 1). See the user manual for complete details.
TIPs
•When changing settings on any
programming page, you need to
confirm the new settings by selecting
OK on that page.
•Most keypads have a limited number of
preset numbers they can call, which will
limit how many commands can be
remapped. If you are using a v1.2.09 or
later version of the GE KTD-405 keypad,
you can call up all 127 preset numbers
directly from the keypad. Earlier

16 | Advanced programming - resetting and rebooting
Resetting the dome
You can reset the dome whether or not you have valid communication
between the keypad and the dome.
To reset the dome, cycle the power to the dome by turning the power
off then on.
Rebooting the dome
If you are using a GE KTD-405 keypad, and have valid communication between the keypad and the
dome, then you can easily reboot when necessary.
Note: You cannot currently reboot Legend domes from other keypads.
To reboot a dome, do the following from a KTD-405 keypad:
1. At the normal display (CAMERA #/MONITOR #), press and hold set ( ) until you hear a beep
and the programming code display appears on the keypad’s LCD.
2. At the ENTER PROGRAMMING CODE: display, enter the reset access code by pressing 1, 4, 7, 6,

18 | Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Following are the most common troubleshoot-
ing issues and their solutions.
I forgot my passcode.
If you forget the passcodes for a dome, you will
need to send the dome back to the factory so
that it can be reset with no passcodes.
I can’t get the programming interface to open.
Contact Technical Support. See page 2.
I can’t get the programming interface to
respond.
•First, reboot the dome with the keypad. See
Rebooting the dome on page 16.
•If that doesn’t work, then reset (cycle) the
power to the dome by turning the power off
then on. See Resetting the dome on page 16.
I can’t get the programming interface to close.
Reset (cycle) the power to the dome by turning
the power off then on. See Resetting the dome
