terminating resistor located between the Biphase terminals C- and C+ (pins 1 and 2) of the
P105 control connector (see item 5 in Figure 3.10 above). Remove the resistor from all but the
last AutoDome Interface Board. The maximum number of AutoDomes that can be daisy
chained is four (4).
If using the RS485 protocol for control, switch the terminating resistor from the Biphase C+
and C- terminals to the RxD+ and TxD- terminals (pins 4 and 5) of the P105 control connector
for the last dome (refer to item 6 in Figure 3.10 above).

5.4.3 Controlling the AutoDome via the RS485 Protocol

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 uses the 2-wire mode, although RS485
can be connected in a 2- or 4-wire mode.

NOTICE!

The wire shield must be tied to signal at both ends, if 2-wire twisted pair is used. After
connecting the wires for RS485 operation, make sure the slide switch on the main board to
the camera head is positioned toward the LEDs (default).

5.5 Fiber Optic Module with an RS232/RS422 Controller

An AutoDome with a fiber optic module is prewired to operate with Biphase signals only. This
section describes the procedures necessary to control a VG5 series AutoDome fitted with a
fiber optic kit using an RS232 controller or a Pelco® RS422 controller.
To control a VG5 Series Autodome from an RS232 or from a Pelco RS422 controller you must
run control wires from the controller to an LTC 4629 head-end fiber optic module.

5.5.1 Connecting to an LTC 4629 Head End Data/Video Transceiver

1. Connect the RS232 cable (TxD from the controller) to the RS232 RxD port (pin 1) of the
LTC 4629.

2. Connect the ground wire of the controller to Pin 2 on the LTC 4629.

5.5.2 Configuring the VG5 AutoDome

1. Disconnect the power to the VG4 power supply unit; then open the unit.

2. Remove the green Serial Communications wire from the P106 connector.

3. Remove the 100 Ω resistor across the C+ and C- pins.

4. Cut the five wires from the green Serial Communications wire mating connector.
Ensure that the insulation covers each wire to avoid wires from touching.

5. Cut back the insulation on the blue (ground) wire and on the green (RxD) wire enough to
be able to connect these wires back into the P106 connector.

6. Connect the blue (ground) wire to the C- pin on the P106 connector.

6.1 Alarm Inputs

The AutoDome provides seven alarm inputs. Each input can be activated by dry contact
devices such as pressure pads, passive infrared detectors, door contacts, and similar devices.
The table below summarizes the size and distance wires.

Wire Size Maximum Distance

AWG mm feet meters
22 0.644 500 152.4
18 1.024 800 243.8

Tab le 6 .1 Alarm wire guide

You wire alarms either Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.), and must program the
alarm inputs N.O. (the default) or N.C. through the AutoDome main menu.
The AutoDome incorporates two (2) types of alarms: Non-supervised and Supervised. In
addition to transmitting an alarm condition, a supervised alarm also transmits a tamper
condition. Depending on how the alarm is configured, a short or a break in the alarm’s circuit
can trigger the tamper signal.

6.2 Configuring Supervised Alarms (inputs 1 and 2)

To configure Alarm 1 or 2 (pin 5 or 6) for supervision, you must install a 2.2 K end-of-line
resistor in the circuit. Then, you program the alarms through the AutoDome main menu to
either Normally Open Supervised (N.O.S.) or Normally Closed Supervised (N.C.S.).

NOTICE!

Only Alarms 1 and 2 (pins 5 or 6) can be configured for supervision. Once a supervised alarm
is programmed it does not need to be enabled to indicate a tamper condition.

6.2.1 Configuring a Normally Open Supervised Alarm

1. Install a 2.2 K end-of-line resistor in the alarm circuit.

2. Connect the alarm wires to input 1 or 2 (pin 5 or 6) and to the ground (pin 7) at the

AutoDome 100 Series Fixed Camera Bubble Handling and Cleaning | en 73

7 Bubble Handling and Cleaning

The bubble is made of Acrylic or Polycarbonate, depending on the application. Polycarbonate
bubbles provide high impact resistance, and it’s optical clarity is comparable to glass or
acrylic, although it’s surface is much softer. All bubbles require special care when handling
and cleaning to avoid scratches.

7.1 Handling

The bubble is packaged with a protective plastic sheet. It is recommended that the bubble
remain stored this way until it is ready to install. Limit handling the bubble, as any scratches
can quickly affect visibility.

7.2 Cleaning

If cleaning the bubble is required, use the following procedures and comply with all the
warnings listed below.

7.2.1 Cleaning the Bubble Interior

The extremely soft interior surface should not be cleaned by rubbing or dusting with a cloth.
Use clean dry compressed air, preferably from a spray can, to remove any dust from the
interior surface.

WARNING!

Do not use alcohol-based solutions to clean the bubble. This will cause the polycarbonate to
cloud and over time cause stress aging, which makes the bubble brittle.

To remove the bubble from a pendant housing:

1. Using both hands, apply a firm counterclockwise (looking up at the dome) rotational
force on the Pendant Bubble Assembly to set the bubble latch.

2. Insert a small (2 mm) straight blade screw driver into the release opening in the bubble
trim-ring to release the lock, and then remove the screwdriver.

Figure 7.1 Pendant Bubble Release Opening

3. Firmly rotate the bubble counterclockwise approximately 20 degrees until the bubble
assembly releases from the Pendant Housing.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Installation Manual F.01U.217.818 | 1.0 | 2011.04

74 en | Bubble Handling and Cleaning AutoDome 100 Series Fixed Camera

To remove the bubble from an in-ceiling housing

1. Loosen the lockscrew (item 1 in the illustration below) in the trim ring using a P1 or
smaller Phillips screwdriver until the bubble can rotate freely.

2. Then rotate the bubble counterclockwise approximately 1/4 turn until it releases from
the In-Ceiling Housing. See the figure below for an illustration.

Figure 7.2 Bubble Release Screw

7.2.2 Cleaning the Bubble Exterior

The exterior of the bubble is hard coated for extra protection. If cleaning becomes necessary,
only use cleaning solutions and cloths suitable for cleaning safety glass lenses. Dry the bubble
thoroughly with a dry nonabrasive cloth to prevent water spots. Never scrub the bubble with
any abrasive material or cleaners.

Do Not:

– Do Not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on the bubble.
– Do Not scrape the bubble with razor blades or other sharp instruments.
– Do Not use Benzene, Gasoline, Acetone, or Carbon Tetrachloride on the bubble.
– Do Not clean bubbles in the hot sun or on very hot days.
