WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT
INSERT ANY METALLIC OBJECTS THROUGH VENTILATION
GRILLS OR OPENINGS ON THE EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION
EXPLANATION OF GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS
The lighting flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user the presence of
non-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that maybe of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to different persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying this product.

PRECAUTIONS:
Persons without technical qualifications should not attempt to operate this
dome device before reading this manual thoroughly.
Remove any power to the dome before attempting any operations or
adjustments inside the dome cover to avoid potential damage to the
mechanism.
Inside the dome cover there are precision optical and electrical devices.
Heavy pressure, shock and other sudden adjustments or operations should be
avoided. Otherwise, you may cause irreparable damage to the product.
Please DO NOT remove or disassemble any internal parts of the video
camera to
Avoid normal operation and possibly void the warranty. There are no
serviceable parts inside the camera.
All electrical connections to the dome should be made in strict accordance
with the attached labels and wiring instructions in this manual and in
accordance with all local and national electrical codes. Failure to do so may
damage the dome beyond repair and void the warranty.
For outdoor installation especially in high places or poles, it is highly
recommended that the proper lightning arrestors and surge suppressors are
installed before the dome is entered into service.
Do not use the product under circumstances where the environment exceeds
the maximum specified temperature, humidity or power supply
specifications.

Setting the Address, Baud Rate and Protocol
This camera uses the On-Screen Menu to change communication settings.
This is called “Soft Addressing”. The camera comes from the factory with
the default settings of:
Address: 1
Baud Rate: 2400
Protocol: Pelco D
To Change the settings, use a PTZ controller set the above settings to
access the camera’s menu by calling Preset 95, then use the menu as
indicated in TABLE 3-3 on page 7 of this manual.

Power-On / Self-Test
When power is connected, the camera will perform a self-test function by
panning and tilting the camera as well as testing zoom. After the self-test, the
camera will display the Protocol (PTOL), Baud Rate (COMM) and Address
(ADDR) as shown in the diagram below.
PTOL： PELCO-D
COMM： 2400，N，8，1
ADDR： 1

Storing (saving) preset points:
Using a PTZ controller, aim the camera at the desired subject and adjust
zoom if desired. To store the preset in the camera, consult the manual for the
specific PTZ controller you are using for how to store a preset. Sometimes
storing a preset is referred to as “writing”, “saving”, “setting” or some other
similar term. For instance, on a SecurityTronix ST-PTZMINI-KB controller,
the button sequence to STORE preset 1 on a camera is:
Press “SET”, press “1”, press “PRE”.
Calling preset points:
Normally, “calling” a preset will cause the camera to move to the position it
was at when that preset number was stored. There are a few exceptions,
such as the preset numbers which are reserved for special functions, as
listed in the table below. To “CALL” a preset in the camera, consult the
manual for the specific PTZ controller you are using for how to call a preset.
For instance, on a SecurityTronix ST-PTZMINI-KB controller, the button
sequence to CALL preset 1 on a camera is:
Press “1”, press “PRE”.

TROUBLESHOOTING
No picture after applying power –(i) check all plugs and cables are
connected to the proper connectors: (ii) ensure your power supply is
providing the correct voltage and enough current.
The picture has ripples –(i) Check to see if the power supply is
experiencing AC ripple. If so, a filter may be required. (ii) Determine if
the monitor is faulty. (iii) Determine if other peripheral equipment is
causing the ripple and if so make the necessary adjustments.
The picture background continuously changes color –A fluorescent
lamp’s magnetic field may cause color roll. If possible, increase the
distance between the camera and any fluorescent lamps in the vicinity.
The picture appears smeared –(i) The power supply voltage level may
be unstable. Try another power supply. (ii) Ensure the cables are
correctly connected and of the right impedance (75 ohms).
Other interference may require the use of a SecurityTronix ground loop
isolation filter.
Power is on but the controller does not work –(i) Check to make sure
the DIP switches or software addressing are all set correctly for address,
baud rate and protocol. (ii) Check that the RS485 wires at the camera
and controller have correct polarities. The camera colors are: Blue = A
(+), Green = B (-). (iii) Check the integrity and continuity of the
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable.
