Control Conguration
Accessing Switches
To access the address switches and the RS485 termination switch, remove the outer hemisphere as
shown above. The location of the switches is also shown. This operation should be carried out in an
ofce type environment to avoid ingress of moist air.
Switch Conguration
The same address switches are used for both RS485 and up the coax control, Refer to the individual conguration chapters for more information.
Note:
When reassembling the dome, check the hemisphere sealing gasket is in place and that the
hemisphere retaining screws are retightened to avoid water ingress.
Commands to control the position of the dome can be transmitted up the same co-ax cable used to
transmit the video signal to the recorder station. Different controllers require different protocols and
two switches are provided to select the desired protocol. These are accessed by removing the outer
hemisphere, refer to Switch Conguration for more information.
Switch settings
The switches are color coded, blue and yellow, and are located inside the dome camera housing.
Congure the switches for the controller being used as shown in table below.
Up the Coax Switch Conguration
The switches are factory set to FD (DM up the coax control).
Control Blue Yellow
DM/Dennard up the coax F D
Pelco Coaxitron up the coax F 8
RS485 Serial Connection
The coax cable and power wires are always connected.
The RS485 wires are only connected when an RS485 controller is being used.
The dome supports a range of serial RS485 PTZ protocols. The desired protocol and the node
address for the dome are selected by the two rotary hex switches (blue and yellow) inside the
dome. These are accessed by removing the outer hemisphere and inner shroud, refer to Switch
Conguration for more information.
The switch settings for the protocols and node addresses are shown in the table below.
To use the table;
1. Select the protocol required
2. Select the node address of the dome to be congured.
3. Scan across the table to identify the values for the blue and yellow switches.
For example, if the dome is to be used with a Dedicated Micros PTZ controller system with address
ID#5 the switches should be set to ‘05’. i.e. the blue switch should be set to ‘0’ and the yellow switch
set to ‘5’.
The dome will display its switch setting when rst powered on as the screen will show (in the
example above) “CAM 05”.

SDH36
All Dedicated Micros SDH36 domes are tted with a termination switch, shown above. If a single
dome is connected on the RS485 line, or if a star conguration is used, the termination switch
should be switched to ‘IN’ (towards the colored address switches).
If multiple domes are connected in a ‘daisy chain’ conguration, then only the last dome in the chain
should be switched to ‘IN’. All other domes in the chain should be switched to “OUT’.
Up to 16 Preset positions may be set up using the controller programming facility when PTZ control
is over coax. If more than 16 preset positions are required, the Dedicated Micros SDH36/N dome
programming must be used via the dome’s on-screen menus. Alternatively RS485 PTZ control
should be used if more than 16 presets are to be recalled directly form the controller keyboard. Up
to 200 positions can be stored and recalled at any time. Each position stores the Pan, Tilt, Zoom,
and Focus positions as well as the position title. Each preset position can have a title of up to 20
alphanumeric characters assigned to it to identify the associated position uniquely.
It is possible to control the Dedicated Micros SDH36/N dome from a wide range of controller
devices. Always refer to the controller manual to identify the correct operating procedures. The
buttons used by the most popular controllers to access the Dedicated Micros SDH36/N menu
system are shown in the DM Operation and Programming manual.
