TIPs

• For data, you have the choice of

connecting UTP for RS-422 or connecting STP for RS-485.

- If you are installing RS-485, float the shield at the dome and ground it at the keypad.

- If you are daisy-chaining domes, connect the incoming and outgoing cables to the MAIN terminals.

• For video, you have the choice of

connecting UTP or coaxial.

- If you are installing coaxial video, use only crimp-on BNC connectors.

• For power, feed the cable over the top

of the upper bracket, never through the center. Power is not polarity sensitive.

• For alarms, use dry contacts.

• For relays, use a maximum operating

voltage of 30 VAC, 30 VDC at 0.5 A.

• Because of space constraints, if you are

installing more than five alarms and/or relays, use a multiple-conductor cable instead of individual single-pair cables.

• If heaters are present, route all cables

away from them.

Accessing and navigating the menus

If passcodes were turned on during installation (or later), access to the menus of the graphical programming interface will be passcode-protected. Otherwise, you will be taken directly to the main menu. For details about passcodes, see the installation and user manuals.

Accessing the menus

1. Starting at the keypad (a GE KTD-405

keypad), press and hold the set ( ) key until you hear a beep and the programming code display appears on the keypad’s LCD.

2. Press the 9, 5, 1, and seq (

3. Press 3 on keypads of version 1.2.09 or later

to select CAMERA. If using a keypad of version 1.1.06 or earlier, press 3 on the first screen to select CAMERA/RCVR, then press 1 to select CYBERDOME on a second screen.

4. Enter the dome’s 4-digit camera site number (fewer digits with older keypads). See TIPS.

The joystick now becomes a simulated mouse and drives a cursor on the monitor screen over the menus of the graphical programming interface.

5. If passcodes are turned on, select your passcode level and enter your passcode. If passcodes are not turned on, you will be taken directly to the main menu.

You can now access any programming parameters allowed by your passcode.

TIPs

• The Legend protocol supports all of

the common commands of other manufacturers’ keypads and protocols, such as PelcoD, Ultrak, Impac/485, and ASCII.

• To verify your keypad’s version, press

and hold the mon key until the keypad beeps, then press the  key.

• You can either enter the camera site

number with the preceding zeros (such as 0003), or you can enter the camera number without the preceding zeros

(such as 3) and press set ( ).

Note: Later keypad versions allow 4-digit camera

site numbers, while earlier keypad versions allow 2- or 3-digit numbers.

• You can either enter passcodes by

pressing number keys on the keypad or by opening the keyboard in the programming interface. Selecting the ab icon opens the keyboard. Pressing the esc key clears numbers entered from the keypad.

5 | Accessing and navigating the menus

Navigating the menus

While in the menus of the programming interface, the joystick of your keypad operates in two modes depending on what you are doing.

• While moving among the menus, the joystick is a simulated mouse and you enter commands

using the joystick.

• While controlling live video, the joystick is a video controller. When the joystick is a video

controller, you will use the keys of the keypad to enter commands.

Joystick as simulated mouse

To move the cursor (onscreen arrow) across the menus:

Push or pull the joystick in any direction. The farther you move the joystick, the faster the cursor will move.

To make a selection:

Place the cursor over a menu, button, checkbox, item in a list, or arrow of a drop-down box, and twist the joystick.

TIPs

• The timeout of the keypad controls the

display of the programming interface. The GE KTD-405 keypad times out after five minutes of inactivity. The programming interface will therefore time out after five minutes, as well, but the system will sit on the enter camera number display on the keypad’s LCD. You have another five minutes within which to reenter the camera number.

• For screens that have tabs, be aware

that the last tab accessed previously will be the first tab accessed the next time you enter a page.

5. After you have saved a preset position, you can use the other options on the Edit, Display, and Advanced tab pages to customize the preset’s title, duration, and exposure settings.

TIPs

• There are 127 presets (1 through 127) for

each dome. If you are using presets 62 and 63 for the left and right autopan limits, then you have a total of 125 presets.

• Most keypads have a limited number of

preset numbers they can call. If you are using a 1.2.09 or later version of the GE KTD-405 keypad, you can call up all 127 preset numbers directly from the keypad. Earlier versions of the keypad can call up only the first 63 preset numbers.

Note: To verify your keypad’s version, press and

hold the mon key until the keypad beeps, then press the

 key.

• If the keypad does not allow you to

program preset numbers 1 through 57 using the store key, you will need to enable the lower preset numbers in the keypad’s programming. Refer to the keypad’s user manual.

• The dome provides the ability to remap

any preset or tour command coming in from a keypad to activate any of the 127 presets, 16 tours, or 32 macro actions. This enables you to manually initiate any of the expanded capabilities of the dome from keypad controllers with limited command capability. Refer to the user manual for details.

The Exposure and Day/Night relationship

Exposure is a camera feature that establishes what controls the light coming into the camera through the lens. Day/Night is a camera feature that switches the camera mode from color (day) to monochrome (night) and removes the IR cut filter, which increases the camera’s sensitivity in low light. It also allows the camera to function with IR lighting.

The Day/Night feature works only if the Control option of the Exposure feature is set to Auto. Two conditions can prevent the camera from switching between the color and monochrome modes according to the Day/Night setting. One, if you’ve overridden the Auto setting of Exposure | Control with manual commands from the keypad. Two, if you’ve called a preset (or a command containing a preset) that is programmed to override the Auto setting of Exposure | Control.

In the second scenario, the camera returns to the Auto setting of Exposure | Control after you leave the preset. In the first scenario, you must issue a command to return to the Auto setting of Exposure | Control. Using the iris key on the keypad manually adjusts the camera’s iris setting or shutter speed, overriding the Auto setting of Exposure | Control. You must issue a pan or tilt command from the keypad to leave the manual override and return to the Auto setting of Exposure | Control. While you remain in the manual override, the color and monochrome modes of the Day/Night setting will not switch according to the changes in the lighting conditions. See the user manual for details.

11 | Advanced programming - privacy masks and the Exposure and Day/Night relationship

Alarms

You can program up to eight alarm inputs and two relay outputs per dome. Each alarm input can call up (display) any preset, macro (programmed routine), or ShadowTour. Legend domes do not handle alarms in the same way as most other alarm equipment. You need to be aware of the key differences. See the user manual for complete details.

Key differences of dome alarms

• Each dome alarm can include one dome action

(not required) and one or two relay actions.

• The Resume feature is disabled by alarms.

• Dome alarms are not acknowledged.

• When a dome alarm is set to a preset, tour,

or macro, the camera will stay with that action until the operator issues a command from the keypad. Resume will then be reenabled.

• Dome alarms are prioritized.

• Dome alarms are not held in a queue. Only

the highest priority alarm that is triggered is actioned.

• If several dome alarms are triggered at the

same time, the next highest priority alarm is actioned only if it is still being triggered after the higher priority alarm has finished.

• If a higher priority alarm is triggered while a

lower priority alarm is being actioned, the

higher priority alarm will override the lower priority alarm. The lower priority alarm will be restarted only if it is still being triggered after the higher priority alarm has finished.

• The only relay states that you need to clear

are those that are set to Infinite duration.

• Clear Infinite duration relay states by:

(1) selecting a Relay Off button; (2) using another alarm command that sets the relay with a duration of at least one second; or (3) using a remapped preset command that activates a macro.

• You can make a relay action a default action

upon the power-up of the dome by selecting the Relay 1 on or the Relay 2 on button on the Relay State screen.

TIP

When changing settings on any programming page, you need to confirm the new settings by selecting OK on that page.

To program an alarm:

1. Access the menus (page 5).

2. Select Alarms and Contact Setup.

3. Select a contact number.

4. Select a contact type.

5. Optional: Give the alarm a name.

6. Optional: Assign an alarm action.

7. Select an action number, if an action was assigned.

8. Optional: Add one or two relay actions.

9. Select relay durations, if relays were added.

10. Complete steps 3 through 9 for additional alarms.

11. Select Priority and arrange the priority of the alarms from the highest to the lowest.

12 | Advanced programming - alarms

Command mapping

The dome provides the ability to remap any preset or tour command coming in from a keypad to activate any of the 127 presets, 16 tours, or 32 macro actions. This enables you to manually initiate any of the expanded capabilities of the dome from keypad controllers with limited capability.

Command mapping does not affect any of the internal command operations the dome performs, such as resume and alarm actions. It only affects the actions the dome will perform when it receives a command from an external device (keypad or alarm interface).

An example of remapping is using a preset command from the keypad (for example, Preset 7) to run a macro (for example, Macro 1). In the command map programming, you would select the command you wish to use (in this case, Preset 7) and remap that command to activate an assigned action (in this case, Macro 1). See the user manual for complete details.

To remap a preset or tour number to activate another action:

1. Access the menus (page 5).

2. Select Control.

3. Select Command Map.

4. Under Command, select a command group (preset or tour) to remap. (Preset, in the example.)

5. Under Auxiliary input, select a number (for example, 7) from that group to remap.

6. Under Assigned action, select an action group (preset, tour, or macro) to assign to that command number. (Macro, in the example.)

7. Under Auxiliary input, select a number (for example, 1) from that assigned action group to assign to that command number.

8. Select Update. You have now remapped the

command (Preset 7) to activate the assigned action (Macro 1).

9. Complete steps 4 through 8 for additional commands.

TIPs

• When changing settings on any

programming page, you need to confirm the new settings by selecting OK on that page.

• Most keypads have a limited number of

preset numbers they can call, which will limit how many commands can be remapped. If you are using a v1.2.09 or later version of the GE KTD-405 keypad, you can call up all 127 preset numbers directly from the keypad. Earlier versions of the keypad can call up only the first 63 preset numbers.

Note: To verify your keypad’s version, press and

hold the mon key until the keypad beeps, then press the  key.

Resetting the dome

You can reset the dome whether or not you have valid communication between the keypad and the dome.

To reset the dome, cycle the power to the dome by turning the power off then on.

Rebooting the dome

If you are using a GE KTD-405 keypad, and have valid communication between the keypad and the dome, then you can easily reboot when necessary.

Note: You cannot currently reboot Legend domes from other keypads.

To reboot a dome, do the following from a KTD-405 keypad:

1. At the normal display (CAMERA #/MONITOR #), press and hold set ( ) until you hear a beep and the programming code display appears on the keypad’s LCD.

2. At the ENTER PROGRAMMING CODE: display, enter the reset access code by pressing 1, 4, 7, 6, and seq.

Troubleshooting

Following are the most common troubleshooting issues and their solutions.

I forgot my passcode.

If you forget the passcodes for a dome, you will need to send the dome back to the factory so that it can be reset with no passcodes.

I can’t get the programming interface to open.

Contact Technical Support. See page 2.

I can’t get the programming interface to respond.

• First , reboot the dome with the keypad. See

Rebooting the dome on page 16.

• If that doesn’t work, then reset (cycle) the

power to the dome by turning the power off then on. See Resetting the dome on page 16.

I can’t get the programming interface to close.
