2.1 Installation
You may require additional bracketry to correctly install the dome –these brackets may be
subject to change. If you are unsure then please contact us or your account manager for advice.
General Guidance:
The installation and fixing location must be capable of supporting the weight of the camera and
any required bracketry.
Installation notes:
1. Ensure the correct DIP switch settings are made and the cover plate is securely refitted
before fixing the dome to any bracketry (THIS IS A PRIMARY SEAL).
2. Remove any protective tape/coverings attached to the dome camera.
3. When connecting any 2 threaded items together, the male thread should have a
Teflon/PTFE tape to maintain the IP rating.
4. Place a bead of silicone sealant around the bracket and the wall to reduce the risk of
moisture ingress.
Cable Requirements
For RS485 operation, the VPL7 requires video, power, alarm and data cables.
The video cable carries the video signal to the recording/viewing point. If sending video via
coaxial cable, a 75Ω pure copper coaxial cable is recommended for distances up to 250m.
The VPL7 can be powered by either 12VDC or 24VAC (note that the VPL7-WP-PM heater
& fan input requires 24VAC).
The RS485 control cable carries commands from the keyboard/controlling device to the
dome. An RS485 compatible shielded, two-conductor, twisted-pair cable is required
(Belden 8723). Recommended cable size 24 gauge (0.56 mm).
Alarms: Alarm cable is suitable or Cat 5 cable for longer distances up to 380m.
For FSK control (Coaxial telemetry –Vista only), the data cable is not required. Pure copper
coaxial cable and crimp-on BNC connectors are recommended. Do not use copper-coated steel
cable and screw-on BNC connectors.

2.2 Connections
•Connecting to the RS485
The dome camera can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as
a control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex serial communications signals.
•Connecting Video Output connector
Connect the video output (BNC) connector to the monitor or video input.
•Connecting Alarms
A1, A2, A3, A4 (Alarm Input 1, 2, 3, 4)
You can use external devices to signal the dome camera to react on events. Mechanical or
electrical switches can be wired to the A1, A2, A3, A4 (Alarm Input 1, 2, 3, 4) and G (Ground)
connectors.
See Chapter 3 —Program and Operation for configuring alarm input.
G (Ground)
NOTE: All the connectors marked G or GND are common for alarms only (not to be used
for 0V power input –there is a dedicated terminal for this).
Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the G (Ground) connector.
AO (5VTTL Alarm Output)
The dome camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the device
to the AO (Alarm Output) and G (Ground) connectors. Suitable activation may require the
fitting of an additional actuator (relay) device.
See Chapter 3 —Program and Operation for configuring alarm output.
•Connecting the Power of Dome
The dome will operate on either:
12VDC or 24VAC 1Amp power supply.
Note: When using a 12VDC power supply the power input terminals ARE polarity dependant.
E.g. Connect the positive (+) pole to the ‘+’position and the negative (-) pole to the ‘-’position.
RED = 12VDC / WHITE = 0V
Use certified / Listed Class 2 power source only.
•Connecting the Power of Heater & Fan (VPL7-WP-PM only)
This is a 24VAC input only and no less than a 2Amp (48W) supply is recommended for the
heater & fan to operate correctly.
In all power input requirements, use Certified / Listed Class 2 power sources only.

Figure 3 –Layout of DIP Switches
NOTE: Open the switch cover (image ‘a’) to make any changes to the setting of DIP switches.
This cover is a Primary Seal and as such needs to be refitted correctly once any DIP switch
settings have been made. Failure to do this could allow moisture ingress, which may
invalidate any warranty.
2.4 Setting Dome Camera Termination
The device which is connected at each end of the data line, whether it is 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 1.2km (4000ft).

2.5 Setting Dome Camera Address (ID)
To ensure effective telemetry control of the dome, each dome camera must have a unique
address (ID).
When installing multiple dome cameras using a Multiplexer, DVR or Matrix, it is suggested that
the dome camera address (ID) matches the camera input.
The factory default setting is 1.
Refer to Figure 5 for setting the dome camera address (ID).

2.6 Setting Dome Camera Protocol
The Dome supports multiple telemetry protocols and has a default setting of Auto-sensing the
RS485 protocol. Should Vista Coax telemetry be required (Vista-FSK) or if there are multiple
RS485 protocol commands on the data line, then use the DIP switch settings below to force the
camera to the required protocol.
If you are not using a Vista Keyboard or DVR for the telemetry control then you may need to refer
to the user manual for that product.
You can set the Protocol with DIP switch D2, D3 and D4 in S2 below. DIP switch D1 has no
function and is not used.

2.8 How to control the On-Screen Menu
Please be aware that whilst the commands in BOLD in the table below are generic for
most keyboards, DVR’s and popular protocols, if you are not using a Vista controller and
Protocol then you may need to refer to the user manual for that controlling device to
generate the required command.
In any sub menu whereby ‘CONTROL’ is displayed onscreen and the (IO/FN) command
is selected the screen the Joystick has full PTZ control of the camera.

3.3 Quick Setting a Preset
This can be achieved after selecting the desired scene e.g. with VKBD4 by pressing FUNCTION
(Fn) then the No. (1to 240) then PRESET key sequentially. The current view will be stored to
the selected Preset number.
If the Preset number is not empty, an ‘OVER WRITE’message will be displayed on the screen
and select to ‘OK’or ‘Cancel’ as required and move the Joystick to the right to confirm.
Example: FN, 1, 0, 1, PRESET keys will store current view as Preset no. 101. In this case, focus
will be programmed as Auto, dwell time will be set to 3 second, and the current AE mode will be
used.
NOTE: If the password is set to ON within the Dome, then this will need to be entered to accept
the new or when amending a Presete.
3.4 Tour Setup
There are 8 programmable Tours. Each Tour consists of up to 42 Preset positions, Patterns,
Scan or other Tours (second-level). Using second-level Tours, a Tour can be expanded to over
300 functions in a single Tour. Tours can be recalled No. + TOUR.
