The Biphase shield must be connected to the head end only.
In a daisy chain configuration, where multiple domes are
connected, the resistor must be removed for all but the last
dome. The AutoDome Easy II can be daisy chained up to a
maximum of four (4) domes. To daisy chain the unit, do the
following prior to mounting the camera:
1.Remove the 100 ohm resistor by cutting both leads from
all but the last dome.
2.Locate the cable assembly on the first camera with a seven
(7) pin white mating connector on one end and the seven
(7) flying leads on the other end.
3.Connect the biphase (+) from the controller to the first
camera yellow lead and secure.
4.Connect the biphase (-) from the controller to the white/
green lead on the first camera and secure.
5.Connect the biphase (+) from the first camera yellow lead
to the second camera yellow lead and secure.
6.Connect the biphase (-) from the first camera white/green
lead to the second camera white/green lead and secure.
7.Repeat steps as required for up to four (4) cameras.
RS485 (2-wire (shielded), half-duplex, differential, multi-drop
(32 nodes), 4000 ft cable limit) RS485 is capable of controlling
a true multi-drop network and is specified for up to 32 drivers
and 32 receivers on a single 2-wire bus. The AutoDome Easy II
uses the 2-wire mode, although RS485 can be connected in a 2or 4-wire mode.
NOTICE!
The wire shield must be tied to signal at both ends, if 2-wire
twisted pair is used.

9.3Alarm Outputs
The AutoDome Easy II incorporates one (1) alarm output: a dry
contact relay.
Output 1 is an open collector. This output must be connected
to a positive voltage between 5 and 32 V to complete the
circuit, with a maximum voltage rating of 32 VDC @ 150 ma.
1.Connect the appropriate stripped wire to the open
collector of the transistor’s white wire.
2.Connect the appropriate stripped wire to the ground
(GND) connector.
Once the installation is complete, the AutoDome Easy II can be
programmed. A typical system includes a keyboard, matrix
switcher, monitor, and appropriate wiring connections. Please
refer to the individual product manuals for complete installation
and setup instructions for each of the system components.
10.1Powering On
When you turn the AutoDome Easy II power on there is a ten
(10) second pause before the dome starts its homing phase.
During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and
tilts up and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire
homing phase lasts approximately 20 seconds and ends with a
splash screen.
WARNING!
Before powering the dome on, remove the clear protective
plastic sheet on top of the bubble.
10.2Establishing AutoDome Easy II Control
The most common ways to interface with the AutoDome Easy II
are:
–Using a keyboard and on-screen display (OSD) menus. This
method is the most common and is covered in this manual
(see Section 8.5.2 Direct Control, page 68).
–Using the AutoDome Easy II Configuration Tool software
running on a PC with Bilinx communication protocol. Refer
to the CTFID User Guide for instructions.
–Using a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) such as the Bosch
Divar XF version 2.00 or higher.
