attaches to the housing. It also includes the trim ring. The lower dome is
a hardware component of the dome.
Configuration Options
About the On-Screen Display (OSD) Menus

All ACUIX Series domes provide access to on-screen display (OSD) menus to set various
display, control, diagnostic and camera parameters based on user requirements. The
OSD is also where mimic tours, privacy zones, sectors, presets and preset tours are
programmed. To access the OSD with the ACUIX analog PTZ dome requires a monitor
and controller.
18
About Rapid Eye Installations

When an ACUIX dome is network connected to a PC-based DVR (such as the Honeywell
Rapid Eye) and set to the IntelliBus protocol, you can:
Download a dome configuration to a PC for later use: After completing the user
programming of the ACUIX unit (presets, mimic tours, preset tours, and privacy zones),
you can upload the configuration data to a PC for safekeeping.
Upload a configuration to another dome of the same camera model: The
configuration can be saved on a PC and uploaded to a replacement dome if required. The
ACUIX configuration has camera model specific parameters so the configuration uploads
(retrieving data from a faulty dome) and downloads (sending data to a new dome) must
be between two ACUIX units with the same camera model.
Upgrade the firmware to one or more domes in your network.
For detailed information about these options using the IntelliBus protocol, refer to the
Rapid Eye System Administrators Guide.
ACUIX Feature Descriptions

See Configuring the ACUIX Dome on page 67 and the index for instructions related to
each of these features.
Contacts
Note
The terms contact and alarm are used interchangeably to mean the same
thing. Alarm is currently displayed on the OSD, although contact is a more
accurate description as it is not an audible alarm but a change in electrical
state to the contacts, which results in a programmed response.
Contacts can detect a door opening or window breakage, for example. Using the
on-screen display (OSD), you can program up to four normally open or closed conditions
to activate a preset, preset tour, or mimic tour.

12/08
19
Flashback
Use the Flashback feature to toggle between two saved positions and quickly return to a
scene of interest.
Flashback is available using a controller. When you press Flashback, it saves the scene
(Scene A) as a Flashback. When you move to the next scene (Scene B) and press
Flashback again, it saves Scene B and returns the dome to Scene A. If the operator
presses Flashback a third time (without manually moving to a new scene), the dome
returns to Scene B. The dome only saves and toggles between two scenes at a time,
except when Flashback is used during a preset tour.
Mimic Tours
A mimic tour saves the pan, tilt, and zoom commands performed by a user. When a mimic
tour is started, the dome replays the saved commands. A mimic tour is useful when
operators are interested in scanning slowly to a particular area on a regular basis. You
can program up to 16 mimic tours up to 120 seconds (two minutes) each.
Presets
Note
Presets are called PreShots on some controllers.
The ACUIX supports up to 150 custom presets when using IntelliBusTM or Diamond
protocols; 132 with MAXPRO-mode, or 99 with VCL protocol. There are two types of
presets: (1) A special preset or shortcut to a function, for example, opening the OSD
menus and (2) an operator created/programmed set of commands (pan, tilt, zoom, focus,
and iris setting). The programmed preset is recalled in response to a contact or set as the
default function when the dome is idle for a specified time. Other facts about presets
include:
20
Individual presets can also be part of preset tours.

Each preset can have a 24-character alphanumeric name.
With the ACUIX analog domes, presets are dependent on the protocol being used.
By default, the preset name/number for configured presets displays in the top left
corner of the screen.
Preset Tours
With preset tours the dome moves from one preset position to another. During the tour,
the dome moves between presets at a set velocity (between 1 to 480 degrees per second)
and stays for a specified time interval (the dwell) before moving to the next preset. The
dwell time can be set between 1 to 99 seconds.
Up to 16 preset tours, each with up to 64 presets, can be programmed for every dome.
Preset tours can be started by an operator, in response to a contact, or programmed as
a default function when the dome is idle for a specified amount of time. The preset tours
are useful for looking at specific locations like doors and windows or to do a scan of each
location for a few seconds before moving on. Operators can run the preset tour once or
continuously.
Privacy Zones
Privacy zones enable operators to restrict the view in a specific area, for example private
property, windows visible across alleyways, swimming pools, or dressing rooms. Up to
32 privacy zones can be configured per dome. Another application is if an automated
teller machine (ATM) is being monitored. The view of the ATM screen can be restricted by
configuring it as a privacy zone.
A mask (a dark colored box) covers the video display when the dome registers a privacy
zone. If there is a preset name, it displays over the video display when privacy zones are
hidden. Privacy zone data is stored in nonvolatile memory, which saves the data when the
dome is not powered. The privacy zones can be password protected.
The use of a privacy zone password or PIN is available depending on the protocol:
For MAXPRO-mode, VCL, VCL UTC, Pelco P and Pelco D protocols, privacy zone
programming is protected by a four digit numeric PIN. The default PIN is 1000.
Diamond/IntelliBus: Up to 24-alphanumeric characters can be programmed as a
password. The default password is a blank line.
Sectors
Sectors are used for labeling up to 16 areas monitored by a dome. For example, when
you are monitoring an exit door, you can add a label in the video display as ExitDoor. After
labeling, whenever the dome is positioned to monitor the exit door, the label ExitDoor
displays on the monitor.
The sectors can also overlap. If the operator positions the dome where one or more
programmed sectors overlap, the dome sequences between the sector titles on the video
display for 1.5 seconds per sector.

12/08
21
Still Shot (Freeze)

There are two uses for the Still Shot feature.
A freeze-frame of video can be made between the presets in a tour. This freezes the
video while the ACUIX dome is moving. This results in an effect similar to a video
switcher switching between different cameras.
The operator can freeze the video manually and it remains frozen until the operator
unfreezes it.
When the video is frozen, an asterisk displays on the same line as the dome ID, and the
video remains frozen on the current scene until the operator unfreezes the video. If the
dome ID display is turned off, the asterisk displays by itself.
Camera Model Dependent Features: EIS, TDN and WDR

The camera model (see Scan Assembly Model Numbers and Camera Specifications on
page 110) installed with the ACUIX dome changes how various items are configured or
set up using the OSD.
Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)

Electronic image stabilization (EIS) reduces blurring of the camera image caused by
vibration from external sources such as wind and roadway traffic. This reduction is done
by digitally moving the image to counteract the actual physical movement of the camera.
When EIS is enabled, the camera reduces the area of the CCD that is scanned. This
causes the video displayed on the monitor to appear to have zoomed in. When the dome
undergoes a pan or tilt operation, EIS is disabled while the dome moves, and then
re-enables after the dome stops moving for a five second period.
This is available with the HDXG camera.
22
True-Day/Night (TDN)
When the light level drops too low for a camera to accurately catch objects in color, the
True Day/Night (TDN) feature automatically moves the IR cut filter out of the optical path
and switches to black and white mode. A TDN camera captures more detail in low light
by using ambient infrared light or external IR sources. On the OSD the term NightShot
means the same as TDN and this type of camera is required to make configuration
changes.
Note
The focus changes when the IR cut filter is removed. Therefore, when a preset
is programmed during the day it may be out of focus at night when the IR cut
filter is removed. The only way around this is to have day presets and night
presets.
Available with the HDXJ, HDXF and HDXG cameras.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

Wide dynamic range (WDR) allows for proper exposure of an entire scene, even one
which has very bright and very dark areas or one in which a portion of the scene is brightly
backlit. WDR is perfect for lobbies, loading docks, and ATMs. WDR scans the video and
sets the exposure level so it is balanced between the bright areas and dark areas.
The ACUIX domes with WDR scan each frame twice - once very quickly with a short
shutter time for the bright areas and again at near normal speed with a slower shutter time
for the dark areas. The two scans are then combined to yield a frame where the bright
areas come from the fast scan and the dark areas come from the slower scan.
Available with the HDXJ, HDXF and HDXG cameras.

Power Distances and Supplies, page 27
Video CAT5 or Coaxial Cables, page 28
Coax Control, page 29
RS485 Twisted-Pair Telemetry, page 30
Cabling Recommendations and Cautions

Cable preparation should be completed prior to the installation. Each dome requires 24V
AC at 1 A. The power supply should be located as close to the dome as possible for
service and electrical isolation purposes.
If required, refer to other hardware installation guides to determine cabling requirements
based on the individual configuration.
For all types, see Step 5: Connect the Field and Terminal Block Wiring, page 51.
About the RJ45 Ethernet Connection

The RJ45 connector located on the housing interface board is for production use and
permits the firmware updates using a crossover cable and a PC. Honeywell Systems
Group recommends you DO NOT connect your network to the RJ45 connector. It does
not damage the dome, but may negatively affect the network.

12/08
25
General Cautions and Notes for All Cable Installations
Faulty cable or wiring can cause all domes to fail or malfunction.
If several domes are powered from a single power source (multiple tap) and noise
is experienced on the UTP video output or coax video, then an isolated power
supply should be used to correct the problem.
Never run the cables close to potential sources of electromagnetic interference

such as motors, dimmers, and high-speed data trunk cables.
For CE compliance, the power supply must be connected to a CE-approved 240V

UPS (uninterruptible power supply). See below for a list of the power supplies
which must be used to meet FCC and UL requirements.
Note
For all cables:

The quality and specification of any cable used has a direct effect on the
quality of the video signal at the control equipment end of the system.
Compromising the cable quality and specification can lead to poor
video quality and system performance.
When other cables cannot be avoided, run cables perpendicular to
each other, not alongside, and keep this distance as short as possible.

Note
The terms shielded and unshielded are interchangable with screened and
unscreened, respectively.
Note
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) is a general term for all cabling systems used
for transmission of data and providing connectivity on a network via a UTP
cable. A UTP cable can contain multiple pairs of twisted cables. Commonly
used for telephone cabling and 10BaseT and 100BaseT networks using
CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6 cables.
See Table 2-1 for the recommended cables and maximum distances for proper operation
of the dome. Where applicable, use Category 5 (CAT5) cables or higher.

Video CAT5 or Coaxial Cables
Always keep coaxial cables away from all other cables and run them in complete
isolation wherever possible.
If running a separate CAT5 cable specifically for CCTV, ensure it is clearly
identified to prevent confusion with network and other structured cabling.
Use Krone type junction boxes where CAT5 joints are necessary. These boxes are
supplied with labeling for all terminals. A special tool is required to insert cables
into Krone junction terminals.

Video CAT5 Cable (UTP Transmission)

CAT5 cabling for video transmission allows multiple domes to be transmitted down the
same multicore CAT5 cable without dome video interference or crosstalk. Requires one
wire pair per dome. It can support up to four domes on a single CAT5 cable.
Adhere as closely as possible to the following recommendations when installing with
CAT5 cable and UTP receiving equipment.
A UTP receiver module must be used at the control end of the system for every
dome that is transmitting video via CAT5. A UTP hub can be used to receive up to
16 domes using CAT5 cable.
PTZ telemetry is possible when a passive UTP receiver module or hub is used at the
control end of the system. If an active receiver is used at the control end of the
system, then RS485 telemetry must be used. This requires another single twisted
pair per dome.
When wiring via twisted pair, always ensure that you are actually using a twisted pair
by examining the cable. Failure to use wires from the same pair leads to noise
introduction and subsequent video and telemetry problems.
The twisted pair cable used must not be shielded/screened in any way, either by
foil, braided shield, or any other means. The use of any cable other than unshielded
twisted pair (CAT5 or better) may lead to a reduction in performance and is solely
the responsibility of the installer.
Coax Control
The ACUIX domes support telemetry control over coaxial cable. The dome must be set to
VCL UTC for coaxial telemetry.
Up-the-coax operation of up to 1000 feet (300 meters) is possible with the appropriate
coaxial cable.

12/08
29
RS485 Twisted-Pair Telemetry
Star wiring configurations are acceptable with the use of a code distribution unit
such as Honeywell HDCD8TP.
Always keep RS485 data cables away from all other cables and run them in
complete isolation whenever possible.
Couple all data cable shields to data ground at the control point end only. The
cable shields should not be connected at any other point.
Connect the cable shield at the controller and connect the cable shield through any
junction boxes installed, but do not connect the cable shield to the dome.
When using RS485 twisted-pair telemetry, the video signal is transmitted via a coaxial or
CAT5 twisted pair cable and the control data (telemetry) information is a twisted-pair
cable.
RS485 twisted-pair telemetry cabling is installed and wired as a network that consists of
one or more daisychains. When more than one daisychain is installed, an RS485
telemetry distribution unit must be installed to broadcast telemetry data across the entire
RS485 network. Multiple distribution units can be installed on the RS485 network to allow
for complex wiring arrangements.
Most RS485 cable is 24 AWGa 20-gauge unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is
recommended. The UTP cable is a single twisted-pair with an overall shield and can be
used in a daisychain up to a maximum of 4000 feet (1219 meters). These cables are
available in a series of overall outer sheaths from standard internal usage finishes to
external containment and direct burial types and must have less than 20 pF/ft (picorfarads
per foot) of mutual pair capacitance (capacitance between the two conductors in one
pair). The mutual pair capacitance should be uniform throughout the length of the cable.

Installation Warnings and Cautions

All installations must be performed by qualified technical personnel and must be
in accordance with all national and local mechanical and electrical codes.
Ensure the mounting surface and installation hardware can hold the combined
weight of the scan assembly, housing, lower dome and mount.
To prevent damage to the interface board, follow standard industry precautions
for electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices.

12/08
31
To make good wire contact and ensure the wire does not short to adjacent
wires, fully insert the wire in the hole on the terminal strip.
A good earth ground must be connected at J1, pin 2. Surge suppression is not
provided if the unit is not connected to a good earth ground.
Ensure there are no bare wires touching or faulty operation may occur.
Ensure the cabling does not interfere with the rotation of the scan assembly.
To maintain 24 VAC 10% at each dome, the proper wire size for the distance
and the number of domes must be determined.
For CE compliance, the power supply must be connected to a CE approved

240V UPS (uninterruptible power supply). See Preparing for Installation for a list
of the power supplies which must be used to meet FCC and UL requirements.

Setting the RS485 Control Data Termination (SW1)

About RS485 Termination
For the RS485 daisychain wiring, the data cable shield should be carried through all
units by connecting the cable shields together. Connect the cable shield at the control
unit.
RS485 communication is terminated using switch SW1, located near terminal strip J1, pin
3.
One pair of shielded twisted pair RS485 wire or one pair of unshielded twisted pair wire
can be used for RS485 data.
Two domes can be home run connected to each control output with both domes
terminated. This is a daisychain with two domes and on control output in the middle.
The data lines can be daisychain wired (see Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5) from the
control output. Daisychain wiring consists of up to 32 domes per data run with the
control output at one end of the run or in the middle of the run.
If the control output is at the end of the data run, the last dome on the end of the
data run must be terminated and all intermediate domes unterminated.
If the control output is in the middle of the data run, the last dome on both ends
must be terminated, and all intermediate domes unterminated.
Note
Each RS485 port on the HDCC8TP must be treated individually as if each one
is on a separate piece of equipment.

How to Set the RS485 Control Data Termination

1.
Locate SW1 on the housing interface board.
2.
Carefully place the switch in the required termination position:
(Default) To keep the setting as not terminated, place switch away from ON.
To terminate in 120 Ohm, place switch ON.
Selecting Video Over Coaxial Cable or Unshielded Twisted Pair (SW2)

Control Over Coaxial Cable
For control over coaxial cable, the dome must be set to VCL video telemetry (control over
coax) protocol and must be controlled using an HMAX082 or HMAX162 control unit and
HKJMMTP joystick controller.
The control equipment adds the data signal to the video coaxial cable. In this case, there
are no connections made at data+ and data on the terminal strip J1.
Video Over Coaxial Cable: Coax Video Enabled

The video must be terminated in 75 Ohm at the last video device. If the video is not
terminated or is double terminated, the resulting picture is poor and ghosting is
displayed.
36
Video Over Unshielded Twisted Pair: UTP Video Enabled
The video on the UTP wire cannot be daisychained.
If the UTP option is selected, the video is run on UTP wire and the BNC connector is not
used. The video is connected at terminal strip J7, pins 1 and 2. A UTP-compatible receiver
is required at the monitor to view and/or record the images.
The video lift and gain settings can be adjusted through the OSD menus to compensate
for cable distances over UTP wiring. See Table 3-2 and Table 3-3 for lift and gain settings
for cable lengths.

Setting the Dome Address (SW1 to SW4)
Each dome requires a unique address between 0000 and 9999. The addressing scheme
may be restricted due to the limitations of the controller. For example, the
HEGS5000/HEGS5001 controllers control dome addresses 1 to 256 whereas the HJZTP
control dome addresses 1 to 128.
1.
40
Turn the arrows on rotary switches SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4 to the number
required using Table 3-6 and Figure 3-7 for reference. For example:
To set the dome address to CAM 0001, set SW1 = 1, SW2 = 0, SW3 = 0,
SW4 = 0.
To set the dome address to CAM 0125, set SW1 = 5, SW2 = 2, SW3 = 1,
SW4 = 0.
Note
If the dome is set to address 0000, it responds to control commands for any
address. For example, if an operator sends control commands to address
0002, the dome that has the address 0000 performs the same commands.

58
Before You Begin Configuring

Complete the following before configuring your ACUIX dome:
Important Information about Controllers and Protocols, page 59

Step 1: Prepare the Controller and Monitor for Use, page 60
Step 2: Turn on the Dome and Find the Mechanical Home, page 60
Step 3: (Optional) Learn about the HJZTP Joystick Controller, page 61
Step 4: Learn How to Use the Special Presets, page 63
Step 5: Open the OSD Menu and Start Configuring, page 65
Important Information about Controllers and Protocols

The ACUIX is compatible with the following controllers and protocols:
HJZTP controller using the VCL, MAXPRO-mode or Diamond protocols

HMAX082/HMAX162 Matrix Switcher and HKJMMTP controller using VCL UTP / coax
control protocol
Pelco P and Pelco D third party protocols and controllers
HEGS5000/5001 controller with Diamond protocol
IntelliBus protocol
In general, protocols allow cross compatibility between products and manufacturers.

Because the ACUIX dome is designed to work with a variety of controllers, DVRs and other
hardware, deciding what protocol to use when setting up a system is challenging. It is also
not possible to describe all the tasks using all combinations of protocols and hardware.
Therefore, this guide is a supplement to the hardware users guides and are based on the
use of the Honeywell HJZTP joystick controller.

12/08
59
Note
The current HJZTP Controller User Guide indicates it can be set to either VCL
or Diamond protocols. The ACUIX default protocol is MAXPRO-mode. For the
HJZTP controller ONLY, MAXPRO-mode can be considered exactly the
same as Diamond protocol. From the users perspective, the
MAXPRO-mode allows access to the same special presets as with the VCL
protocol.
If other controllers, DVRs or protocols are used, MAXPRO-mode, Pelco P or Pelco D

protocols also operate in a similar way as described for the VCL protocol. That is to
say, how you access the special presets and on-screen display (OSD) is approximately the
same.
Step 1: Prepare the Controller and Monitor for Use

Before making configuration changes with any controller, you need to:
1.
Ensure the dome is assigned to the controller being used. Refer to the applicable
controller user guide for instructions.
2.
Confirm video is displaying on the monitor.
3.
Confirm there is manual control of the dome using the controller. To manually control
an ACUIX and pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris, the address must be selected as the
control dome. If the dome ID is turned on in the Display Options menu, the letter M is
displayed on the monitor.
Step 2: Turn on the Dome and Find the Mechanical Home

The dome locates other referenced positions (such as presets) using a mechanical home
(or index) position as a reference point. The dome also needs to locate the mechanical
home/index position before responding to the first pan, tilt, and zoom command. For all
protocols the operator can send any command to the dome, but what happens when the
dome is first turned on depends on options as listed in Table 4-1.

Finding home
How to Find Home (MAXPRO-mode or Diamond Protocols)
On the controller, press and hold the Fn key, then press F1.
Note
For protocols VCL, VCL UTC, Pelco P and Pelco D there is no command to
find home during regular operation.
Step 3: (Optional) Learn about the HJZTP Joystick Controller

The joystick on any controller is used to control the pan and tilt functions. The speed of pan
and tilt is relative to the amount of movement applied to the joystick. The following is a brief
overview of the operation of the HJZTP controller (Diamond, MAXPRO-mode or VCL
protocols available).
For the HJZTP controller:
the maximum pan speed can be between 120 , 240 , or 480 per second.
the maximum tilt speed is one-half the maximum pan speed.
if the maximum pan speed is set to 240 per second, the maximum tilt speed is set to
120 per second.

thing. Alarm is currently displayed on the OSD, although contact is a better
description since it is not an audible alarm but a change in electrical state to
the contacts resulting in a programmed response.
Note
Up to four contacts (called alarms on the display) can be programmed. The contacts are
sampled 16 times per second. See Table 5-3 for a list of possible contact states.
Table 5-3
Program Contact Submenu: Contact States
If:
Then:
Contact is disabled
The dome ignores a change of state in the contact input.
Contact is enabled and

not programmed
The dome ignores a change of state in the contact input.
Contact is enabled and

programmed
The dome performs the action programmed for the contact input when a change of state
occurs.
More than one contact

occurs
The dome performs the action for the first contact followed by any others in numerical
order.
If any contacts are

active
After a contact is triggered, the system confirms that the contact is both enabled
and programmed. As long as no other contact is active, the newly triggered
contact performs as programmed.
The dome stays in the contact state until the contact is acknowledged. Any further
triggered contacts are not serviced until after the first one is acknowledged, and
then the subsequent contacts are activated in numerical order, starting at the
lowest number.
A contact cannot be reactivated until it has been both acknowledged and returned
to its normal position. After acknowledgment and the contact change of state, the
cycle can begin again.
AL displays on the monitor near to the domes ID and lists all active contacts in
numerical order. You cannot tell which contact is currently active except by viewing the
function occurring on the monitor. AL remains on the monitor until all contacts are
acknowledged.

If contacts are present then the dome

automatically acknowledges the current
contact, resets its delay timer, and
processes the next contact in numerical
order. All contacts are processed before
performing the default function.
If motion detection is enabled, then the
default function is automatically disabled.

Configuring Presets and Preset Tours
Continuous preset tour operation for extended periods of time (more than eight hours)
is not recommended. Continuous operation results in increased zoom lens wear and
maintenance expense. Similarly, avoid setting auto focus to continuous.
Note
Presets are also called PreShots on some controllers.
Note
If an operator runs a preset tour continuously, the dome goes from the last preset to
the first preset. The amount of time the ACUIX takes to go to each preset depends on
the programmed velocity and the distance to the next presets pan and tilt
coordinates. The velocity is programmable from 1 to 480 per second.
The preset tour repeats continuously until an operator manually controls the dome
(pan, tilt, zoom, focus, or iris) or the dome receives a preset, preset tour, mimic tour,
or find home command.
Note
Table 5-5
90
If you are using a TDN camera, the focus changes when the IR cut filter is
removed. Therefore, when a preset is programmed during the day it may be
out of focus at night when the IR cut filter is removed. The only way around
this is to have day presets and night presets.

Configuring Privacy Zones
Note
Note

12/08
Note the following when configuring privacy zones:

When a dome is powered up, it automatically starts to find home. When a
privacy zone is enabled, no video is shown during this process and
privacy zones are not recognized until the dome reaches home. Once the
dome finds home, a picture can be viewed on the monitor unless a
privacy zone overlaps with this home setting.
If a dome is sent to a preset and any portion of a privacy zone would be
visible while traveling to the preset, the video is masked with the box
where any portion of a privacy zone is visible.
To prevent any privacy zones being visible if the dome loses power, the
video is blanked upon power-up until the unit finds home.

Restoring Default Settings or Resetting the Dome or Lens

There are two types of factory defaults that can be restored either directly on the dome via
the OSD Diagnostic Options menu or using a DIP switch. There is an important distinction
between the two.
Using the OSD menu restores all of the camera and dome configuration settings to
the factory defaults, but DOES NOT delete user programmed configurations (presets,
preset tours, mimic tours, sectors and privacy zones).
Using DIP switch SW5-7 restores all the settings to defaults and DOES delete user
programmed configurations (presets, preset tours, mimic tours, sectors and privacy
zones).
Restoring Defaults Using the OSD

1.
Select 4 Diagnostic Options X 6 Restore Default Settings.
2.
Select:
N to cancel.

Select a parity: Even, Odd, or None.
Sending Common Commands to all Domes
Only enable the Broadcast Command mode when common settings require changing
and these common settings are for the same value across the network. Otherwise the
dome performs all the commands even if not required or sent to that dome.
Special presets 73 and 74 enable and disable the broadcast command receive mode.
When enabled, all domes receive all the commands sent from the controller to any dome
address. For example, an operator might want to standardize the on-screen display (OSD)
language displayed on the monitors for all the domes in the system.
Note

12/08
This option is not applicable to IntelliBus protocol as this protocol uses a

different addressing mechanism to communicate with domes.
103

The message BROADCAST RX MODE OFF displays on the monitor for a few seconds.
The letter B is now not displayed at the end of the dome label.
Handling and Cleaning Equipment

Following a preventive maintenance schedule allows detection and correction of minor
faults before they become serious and cause equipment failure. It also extends the life of
the equipment.
1.
Inspect all connecting cables for deterioration or other damage.
2.
Wipe the housing with a clean damp cloth.
3.
Verify all mounting hardware is secure.
Handling the Housing Interface Board
To prevent damage to the interface and scan assembly circuit boards, follow
standard industry precautions for electrostatic discharge sensitive devices.
104
Handling and Cleaning the Scan Assembly and Lens
To avoid damage to the static sensitive receiver and power supply boards, leave
the scan assembly inside the pink, static dissipating bag it was shipped in until the
time of installation.
If the unit is shipped anywhere at a later date, it must be shipped in the pink bag or
an equivalent static dissipating enclosure
Do not remove the camera from the scan assembly.

Do not touch the lens surface; handle the camera lens with extreme care so you do not
scratch the optical surfaces.
A dirty lens surface due to dust, oil or fingerprints causes harmful flare that can result in
degenerating lens property. To clean the lens:
1.
Remove dustBrush with an oil-free soft brush or a blower-brush (for photography

use).
2.
Remove water or oilWipe and dry the lens surface with a clean soft cloth. Prepare a
washed-out cotton cloth or lens cleaning paper with alcohol or lens cleaning liquid.
Clean by moving spirally from the lens center towards its rim. Repeat until completely
clean.
Handling and Cleaning the Lower Dome

It is extremely important to treat the surface of all domes with the same care as you would
a fine camera lens.

12/08
Always handle the dome from the outer surface. Both the inside and outside can be
irreparably damaged if dropped or scratched.
To prevent scratching, carefully remove particles by hand (such as sand or grit) prior
to wiping or cleaning with a soft cloth.
After larger particles (such as the sand or grit) are removed by hand, use tepid water
and a cloth to wash units.

Troubleshooting
Prior to calling Honeywell technical support, refer to the following for possible solutions
to troubleshoot your installation and configuration. See the back cover of this guide to
contact the Honeywell Video Systems technical support team in your area.
Note
Any equipment returned to Honeywell Systems Group for warranty or service

repair must have a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA
number must be clearly marked on all return packages and internal
paperwork.

Troubleshooting
General Troubleshooting
No Video
Check that the power supply voltage is within the operating specifications for
your camera model
Connect a video monitor directly to the dome video output cable to eliminate
video problems that could be caused by other equipment such as video
switches.
Check the video connections to the monitor or CCTV system.
Check for a loose connection at the video dome.
Ensure that lens cap has been removed.
Fuzzy Video
Check the video ground connections.
Check for ground loops.
Check camera focus.
Cannot Find Home or Does Not Go to a Preset
Verify that the pan and tilt rotates freely with no interference from wiring.
Verify the pan and tilt belts are on their associated sprockets and are not loose.
Pan and Tilt is Jerky
Verify that the pan and tilt rotates freely with no interference from wiring.
Verify both data lines are connected.
A motor may be defective or the wiring to the motor may be broken.
The Video Zooms for No Reason

When you are using the HXDG camera and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) is
enabled, the dome reduces the area of the CCD scanned. This causes the video
displayed on the monitor to appear to have zoomed in. When the dome undergoes a pan
or tilt operation, EIS is disabled while the dome moves, and then re-enables after the
dome stops moving for a five second period. This is the normal function of the HXDG
camera with EIS enabled and this cannot be changed.
118
The Lens is Out of Optical Focus
Use extreme caution when cleaning the lens and dome so you do not scratch the optical
surfaces.
1.
Verify the lens cap is not on the camera. A translucent cap may be in place and
could blur the video if not removed.
2.
Send the dome to Preset 98. This special preset resets the camera lens.
3.
This can also be caused by dirt, oil, grease, fingerprints, and so on, that have
accumulated on the lens or lower dome. Check the lens and dome and clean them,
if needed.
a.
Prepare a washed-out cotton cloth or lens cleaning paper with alcohol or lens
cleaning liquid.
b.
Clean by moving spirally from the lens center towards its rim.
c.
Repeat until completely clean.
Video Is Inverted or of Poor Quality (Video over UTP Only)
Swap the video + and video - wires of the UTP cabling on the video connections at
one end only; either the dome terminations or the monitor terminations.
Adjust the video Lift and Gain PWM settings using the OSD. The lift setting boosts
the high frequency in the video to compensate for high frequency losses caused by
capacitive roll-off of the cable distance. The gain setting amplifies the video to
compensate for the resistance of the cable.
There is Video, but No Control of the Dome
If a camera model is physically changed in a dome, the configurations stored in the

camera memory revert to the default settings. In order to load the previous
configurations to the new dome requires two domes with the exact same camera model,
for example configurations can only be transferred between one HDXA to another HDXA
and not an HDXJ.

12/08
119
Troubleshooting
1.
Ensure DIP switches SW5 and SW6 are set for the correct protocol, baud rate, and
parity. The dome must be set the same as the control equipment.
2.
Ensure the controller is matched to the correct dome address. Each dome has a
unique address used for controlling it. Check the rotary switches on the scan
assembly board.
3.
Power down all system components for 15 seconds and then re-apply power to
reset the dome. Manually control the dome and verify that the dome finds home.
4.
For the wiring, make sure that:
5.
the data wiring is connected at the terminal strip in the housing.

any bare wires are not touching each other.
the wire insulation is stripped back far enough for a good connection.
If there are multiple domes in the system, exchange the scan assembly in question
with one from another housing. Set the address of the exchanged scan assembly to
the existing unit. Call up the dome at the controller and if control returns, the
problem is isolated to that scan assembly.
Checking the DVR Protocol Matches the Dome Protocol

Honeywell DVRs must be configured to use the protocols in the following table to ensure
the dome functions correctly. Use the following table and figures to troubleshoot these
types of installations.
