when you use bubble ring ass’y.
CAUTION : When installing a Fastrax dome on a high pole outside, caution should be
taken to avoid vibration and shaking of Fastrax dome due to windload or
shock of passing heavy vehicles. If pole is not stable enough, it may
cause malfunction in accurate tilt positioning.

2.2 Basic Configuration of Fastrax IV Dome Camera System
Figure 4 – Basic installation diagram
The dome camera must be installed by qualified service personnel in accordance with all
local and federal electrical and building codes. The system should be installed according to
Figures 4 through 9.

Figure 5 – 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. Without proper termination, there is potential for control signal errors. Total length of
the cable for communication should not exceed 4000ft (1.2km).

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 … Port 16 = Dome 16. If more than 16 dome
cameras are installed using two or more multiplexers, ID of the dome camera should be ID of
MUX x No. of camera IN. (e.g. multiplexer ID= n, Camera IN= m then ID of Dome =16x
(n-1)+m )
Refer to Figures 4-5 for setting the dome camera address (ID) and protocol selection.

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.
If control system is RS422, connect Rx+(Tx+), Rx+(Tx-) and Rx+, Rx- of the dome camera to
Rx+, Rx- and Tx+, Tx- of the control device respectively.
• Connecting Video out connector
Connect the video out(BNC) connector to the monitor or video input.
• Connecting Alarms
AL1 to 8 (Alarm In)
You can use external devices to signal the dome camera to react on events. Mechanical or
electrical switches can be wired to the AL (Alarm In) and GND (Ground) connectors.
See Chapter 3 — Program and Operation for configuring alarm input.
GND (Ground)
NOTE: All the connectors marked GND are common.
Connect the ground side of the Alarm input and/or alarm output to the GND connector.
NC(NO)1 TO 4 (Normal Close or Normal Open : Alarm Out)
The dome camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the
device to the NC(NO) (Alarm Out) and COM (Common) connectors.
See Chapter 3 — Program and Operation for configuring alarm output.
• Connecting the Power
Connect the power of AC 24V 850mA to the dome camera.
Use certified / Listed Class 2 power source only.
