Installation Manual

Product description

Legend IP™ is a line of advanced PTZ domes that stream digital video. Digital video is easier to transmit, share, and store than conventional analog video signals. Digital video systems also integrate well into most communications and media networks and are easily operated from software applications that manage digital video, such as GE’s SymSecure™ or SymNav™. SymSecure is GE’s complete digital video management software. SymNav is GE’s free digital video viewer that is provided with each dome. Compatible software applications, like these, allow you to control your domes and video over an IP (Internet Protocol) network from computers, instead of using analog keypads, recorders, multiplexers, and switchers.

Legend IP domes use an MPEG-4 video encoder to compress and digitize streaming video that is of up to 30 fps (frames per second) for NTSC and up to 25 fps for PAL. At the maximum frame rates, the domes require a bandwidth from 1 to 2 Mbps (Megabits per second). The encoder supports QCIF, CIF, and D1 video resolutions. The MPEG-4 video stream that is created is compatible with GE’s SymDec family of MPEG-4 recorders, SymNet family of MPEG-4 codecs, and Video Navigator™ software. The Legend IP interface is open to allow compatibility with third party software and recording equipment.

Besides their networking ability, Legend IP domes also feature powerful cameras, SilkTrak™ direct-drive positioning for smoother camera travel, a graphical programming interface for easier customization of camera settings, passcodes for protection against unauthorized access, and the ability to flash software upgrades over your IP network using a standard web browser.

CAUTION: To ensure the security of your surveillance system, your IP network should be isolated and secured from

unauthorized access.

The Legend IP protocol is backward compatible with the Digiplex protocol. You can replace older domes in an existing Digiplex system with Legend IP domes. You must, however, replace the entire dome (camera, housing, and mounts), because the hardware is not backward compatible.

Be aware that digital Legend IP domes have greater power requirements than do CyberDome or analog Legend domes. Refer to Power requirements on page 11 and Power cable size and length requirements on page 11.

The installation of domes has been made much easier with many of the innovations that are now available in the Legend IP line of domes. To start, all cable connections are now built into the housing. The Ethernet cable provides both video and data. You can also connect UTP and coaxial cables for analog video and data, if desired. Cameras operate using the housing's memory, since programming is now stored in the housing. This allows you to replace cameras or move them between housings without having to reprogram them for each new site.

After installation, programming will be completed by using either the web-based programming menus from a PC, or the graphical menus on the analog video output. Both methods provide the same programming menus.

Optional installer, administrator, and operator passcodes are available to protect the dome from unauthorized access. By default, no passcodes are enabled. For details, see Chapter 5, Using passcodes on page 47.

Introduction

The general steps for installing your dome include:

• preparing the mounting surface and installing the mount (if used) and housing;

• preparing the cables and wiring the housing;

• addressing the camera site, setting the protocol, and setting the termination;

• installing the camera assembly;

• installing the bubble; and

• turning on passcodes, if passcodes are to be used.

Operational overview

Legend IP domes work in both IP network and in analog systems (see System configurations). In a network system, Legend IP domes use a standard Ethernet connection to provide video and control to a software application, such as GE’s SymSecure or SymNav. When used in an analog system, Legend IP domes also include analog video and data connections, along with the network connection. You can mix analog Legend and digital Legend IP domes in the same system.

Legend IP domes can be operated from keypads, in addition to digital video management software. The housings have Ethernet, RS-485, and RS-422 connections for data control, and Ethernet, UTP, and coaxial connections for video. The Ethernet cable provides both video and communication data. The network interface is 10/100/Base-T Ethernet compliant and supports TCP/IP communication protocols on private networks, intranets, and the Internet.

GE’s SymSecure digital video management software offers many ways to complete tasks so as to accommodate the various ways that people are comfortable working. The documentation for Legend IP will provide one basic method for each basic task described. For complete usage instructions for SymSecure, refer to the SymSecure online help. If you are using SymNav or another compatible digital video management tool to operate your Legend IP domes, refer to that software’s documentation for its instructions.

System configurations

Legend IP domes can be used in a variety of digital and analog system configurations. They still maintain their built-in receivers that decode analog commands originating from a compatible controlling devices, such as a Digiplex controller keypad or ASCII control software.

Cable management

Follow all local codes for cable management. As a general rule, you can fill a cable conduit to a maximum of 60% of its capacity. You must maintain 40% free space. A variety of factors will determine how many cables you can run into the dome. Capacity limitations include:

• number of cables

• size of the cables

• number of alarms and relays wired

• use of single-conductor or multiple-conductor cable

• use or lack of use of a junction box

Figure 4 provides an illustration of the cable capacity of three typical applications. It is important to note that all cables of the same gauge are not of the same diameter. Manufacturer, shielding, and rating affect the actual

diameter of cables of the same gauge. GE leaves the selection of the appropriate cable to the discretion of the installer who is working with the local codes of the installation site.

Introduction

Power requirements

All Legend IP domes require a 24 VAC power supply to operate the domes’ PTZ, camera, and heater/blower, if present. The startup and running power requirements vary depending on the model (Table 3).

Be aware that Legend IP domes have greater power requirements than do CyberDome or analog Legend domes, which may require upgrading the power cabling for Legend IP domes.

CAUTION: Use only a Class 2 power supply of the required output rating as listed on individual units and specified.

System planning

Before you install and program your surveillance equipment, make sure that you have planned a system that will meet your needs. You need to balance the various network issues that affect the compression and transmission of video to get the video quality, transmission speed, and storage capacity that you need your system to deliver. Consider each of the following related issues.

If you have questions that this section does not answer, GE Security has system design engineers available to help you design your system. Contact your dealer, sales representative, or GE Security at www.gesecurity.com.

Digital video networks

Network topologies can be quite different between the design of a single building with a high-speed network and the design for a number of satellite locations being managed by a central location. If you are connecting remote offices to each other or to a central office, you must consider the network throughput, latency, and bandwidth when defining the speed and capacity of a network. Bandwidth is the physical component that is most easily controlled.

• Throughput is the amount of data that can be transmitted over a network connection in a fixed amount of time, which is usually expressed as bits per second (bps) for digital devices and as cycles per second (Hz) for analog devices. The higher the throughput, the faster the transmission speed will be.

• Latency is the a

lower the latency, the faster the transmission speed will be.

• Bandwidth is the actual capacity of a network cable. The higher the bandwidth, the faster the transmission speed will be.

mount of time it takes a packet to travel from a source to a destination. The

Bandwidth

First, determine what your video payload (amount of video data, not operational data) is likely to be, then determine how fast you need your video to transmit through the network. After you have considered such issues as resolution (Video resolution standards on page 15), data rate (Video compression standards and data

rates on page 15), throughput, and latency, you can determine what capacity you need your network cable to

be. Real-time digital video generally requires the bandwidth found on high-speed (gigabit-per-second) LAN networks for reasonably high resolution, bitrate, or channel count.

Table 5 shows a range of sample bandwidths. For help analyzing your system, contact GE Security System Design or Technical Support.

Introduction

Needed network switch features

Network switches have many associated features, but only a few affect the transmission of digital video and need to be considered when designing a system. Those few are port speed, switching capacity, multicast protocol, and IGMP snooping.

• Port speed is the data transmission rate of an input or output channel. Switches provide ports ranging from Base-T with RJ-45 connectors for CAT-5/5E/6 cabling to fiber optic interconnects with SFP module connectors for fiber optic cabling. Base-T ports are more common and typically less costly than fiber optic ports. Copper gigabit Ethernet cable is typically acceptable for most cable runs. Fiber optic cable, however, may be needed when signal integrity over long high-speed cable runs is an issue.

• Switching capacity is the bandwidth (transmission capacity) of the switch as opposed to the bandwidth of the network cable. The higher the bandwidth, the faster the transmission speed will be.

Data packets may be lost, however, if network traffic between the switch’s ports reaches the switch’s bandwidth. It is recommended that each port have a switch capacity of at least 10 Mbps each.

• Multicast protocol is a one-to-many transmission format. With multicast protocols, data is sent to multiple recipients (that are specified) at the same time. This one-to-many format is similar to broadcasting, except that in broadcasting the data is sent to everyone. Because multicasting sends data once from a source through distributed pathways to the recipients, you can send larger volumes of data using less bandwidth. Unicast systems send data in its entirety, as many times as there are recipients.

• IGMP snooping is a protocol used to manage membership in multicast groups. IGMP stands for Internet Group Management Protocol. Multicast groups are used to replicate digital video to many destinations from a single source without requiring retransmission from the source. IGMP snooping is a special optional feature on most managed switches, as well as many higher-end unmanaged switches that monitor traffic for IGMP messages and use the contents to send multicast packets to certain ports. When IGMP is available, it generally must be turned on.

Qualified network switches

Since the network switch is a critical point of failure for a digital video network, we recommend that you use the highest quality switch you can. High-end switch manufacturers include Cisco, Nortel, and HP. The switch you use must support multicast protocols and must provide IGMP snooping.

Be aware that you may have to enable the IGMP snooping feature. Many switches are shipped with this feature turned off by default. Refer to the switch’s documentation. If you do not turn on the IGMP snooping feature before you use the switch, system errors may occur. Such errors can range from the entire system not working to severe performance and packet errors as more devices are added to the system.

When evaluating switches, make sure that you verify all of the interdependencies and constraints that can be expected with varying operating modes. Be aware that not all switch manufacturers publish complete specifications and that you may have to discuss details with the manufacturer before making a purchase.

GE has qualified several D-link and Nortel switches as compatible with their IP products. These switches need to have IGMP snooping turned on before they will operate properly. Refer to the switch’s documentation. You

Page 22

can expect many switches to turn on this feature by using a serial cable to configure the IP address of the builtin management interface, then accessing that interface and using a web browser to change the settings.

Edge networks and network address translation

Centralized networks can be configured with periphery networks and a core network. An edge network is one of the periphery networks that is located on the periphery of a centralized network and feeds data to the core network, which is the single hub of the overall centralized network.

One issue that is becoming more prevalent with edge networks is the use of NAT (Network Address Translation) to allow multiple network devices on a private, centralized network to share a single public IP address. Routers, firewalls, and computers can be NAT-enabled to convert their private internal network IP addresses to and from one or more public IP addresses for the Internet. Although NATs can increase network security by keeping internal addresses hidden from the outside world, they should be used in conjunction with appropriate firewalls to maintain that security.

Only use NAT devices that provide the ability to configure port forwarding. Port forwarding tells the NAT device to forward incoming traffic from a specific port number on the public IP to a specified device on the private internal network.

Introduction

Video resolution and compression standards

Video resolution and compression standards affect video quality, file size, and storage requirements. Table 7 and Table 8 outline the video and compression standards that are available with Legend IP and SymSuite products. Program your system with the standards that will best meet your overall surveillance needs.

Video resolution standards

The NTSC and PAL video signal standards (Table 7) have the same data transmission rates at the same resolutions. NTSC’s higher frame rate is offset by PAL’s higher vertical resolution. Briefly, analog video signals are interlaced, meaning each picture consists of two fields of half-pictures. NTSC video consists of 60 half-pictures per second, while PAL video consists of 50 half-pictures per second. This translates to 30 fps (frames per second) for NTSC and 25 fps for PAL in terms of noninterlaced (or progressive scan) digital video.

Video compression standards and data rates

When considering the overall data rate of how fast the video travels through your surveillance system, you need to consider the speed of the chosen video resolution standard and the speed of your network connection (Table 8). For instance, if you choose to use the CIF video resolution standard, which transmits at an uncompressed data rate of 61 Mbps (Megabits per second), your network connection needs to be at least an OC3 line, because the T3 line only transmits up to a data rate of 45 Mbps. For details about digital video compression standards, such as MPEG-4 and Wavelet, refer to the Compression standards section of the SymSecure System Guide (1055580).

Storage requirements and options

Your storage requirements and options are based on what storage capacity is required to maintain the duration of video that is recorded at the video resolution, fps, and data rate you require to meet your surveillance needs. First, determine what video resolution, fps, data rate, and duration will meet your surveillance requirements. Second, determine what storage options will maintain that capacity of recorded video.

GE provides two digital video storage options: SymDec and SymSecure. SymDec devices can store a limited amount a video directly from one external IP dome and/or encoded from several analog cameras. SymSecure NVR archivers can be attached to RAID or NAS devices for large-scale centralized storage.

If you are using a SymSecure NVR archiver to archive your recorded video, refer to the Storage size section of the SymSecure System Guide (1055580). If you are using other video storage equipment, contact GE Security System Design or Technical Support for assistance in estimating storage requirements and choosing appropriate storage options.

Introduction

Networking IP domes

Networking your IP domes requires a compatible network. The following sections discuss the capabilities required by the customer-supplied components of the IP network and the capabilities that Legend IP brings to the IP network. For a diagram of a typical system configuration, see Figure 1 on page 4, which shows the placement of the required customer-supplied IP components.

Network compatibility

The network interface of the Legend IP domes offers flexibility by being compatible with 10/100/Base-T Ethernet networks and supporting the TCP/IP set of communication protocols. The network interface will also support static and dynamic IP addressing. Dynamic addressing will require a DHCP server that can assign and monitor IP addresses for the domes connected to the network. The network interface is also responsible for transmitting the MPEG-4 encoded digital video streams, control commands, and alarm information to/from the video recorders and managing software.

IP addressing

You can use either static or dynamic IP addressing for your domes. If using static addressing, you can specify the dome’s IP address, the network’s subnet address, the default gateway address, and the DNS address. If using dynamic addressing, you can use the DHCP client protocol to receive the IP addresses from a DHCP server. When you are using dynamic addressing, the IP addresses are not shown on the setup menus, but are available on the diagnostic menus.

Performance monitoring

The dome has an integrated self-monitoring software that periodically verifies the dome’s performance. This self-monitoring software can be programmed to poll the dome manually or at user-defined intervals to retrieve status information. It can also synchronize the time for networked domes.

Alarm management

There are eight built-in alarm inputs in the housings of the Legend IP domes to use as internal alarm triggers. Changes of alarm status are sent through the network interface to specified IP addresses (Recipient e-mail

addresses on page 17) or monitoring software. You can program the duration, resolution, and fps of video clips

to be captured before and/or after a triggered alarm. For details about alarm management, see the Legend IP User Manual (1055713).

Recipient e-mail addresses

You can use e-mail for alarm and event notifications. Events can include mechanical and electrical equipment issues with the camera, motors, or data communication. Each dome can be programmed with up to 10 recipient e-mail addresses. When an alarm or event is triggered, an e-mail is sent to each recipient on the list that is assigned to receive e-mail notification.

Browser options

You can use Internet Explorer 5.

Page 26

Legend IP

Installation Manual

Security options

You can actively protect access to your Legend IP domes three ways—with passcodes, SSL, and IP filtering.

Passcodes

The passcodes (Using passcodes on page 47) control who has access to the features of your dome. Only the installer through the installer passcode has permission to turn on, turn off, or change the passcodes. If no passcodes are programmed, all users are given installer access and are not required to log on. If only the Admin and Operator passcodes are programmed, then anyone can still access the entire programming interface as an installer, since the Installer passcode was not programmed.

Various mounting and housing styles

There are three basic mounting styles: pendant, wall, and flush. A pendant-mount lowers a dome from a ceiling, a wall-mount extends a dome from a wall, and a flush-mount raises a dome’s bubble even with a ceiling. See Figure 6. This document provides the instructions for all mounting styles.

Figure 6. Basic mounting styles

Pendant-mount Wall-mount Flush-mount

There are four basic housing styles: flush-mount, plastic pendant-mount, cast aluminum pendant-mount, and heavy-duty (Figure 7). Installation is generally the same for all housing styles. There are some differences, such as how the bubble rings attach to the housings (Figure 20 on page 45). Where differences exist, the instructions will specify.

Flush-mount housings

Flush-mount and pendant-mount housings require different preparation of the mounting surface and different installation procedures of the housings. Follow the instructions given here for flush-mount housings.

CAUTION: The flush-mount housing is for indoor applications only. Do not expose it to moisture, or the unit may

be damaged.

Preparing the mounting surface

Following are the steps for preparing the mounting surface if you are mounting the housing directly into a solid surface that does not require reinforcement. If the mounting surface does require reinforcement, first install a GEA-113 T-bar ceiling panel or a GEA-114 T-bar support kit. Instructions for installing the GEA-114 are available in this manual (GEA-114 T-bar ceiling support kit on page 67). If you are installing a GEA-113, refer to the instructions that came with the panel (1052914).

CAUTION: For all installations, heed these cautions:

• Complete all installation steps before supplying power to the dome.

• To ensure proper operation of a PTZ unit, install the mount level.

• For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must support the weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental vibration according to local codes. See Table 1, Minimum load requirements of dome configurations on page 9.

To prepare the mounting surface, see Figure 8 and do the following:

1. Mark the position and size of the housing pass-through hole on the mounting surface. The size of the cutout for the pass-through must be 8-3/8 to 8-7/16 in. (21.27 to 21.42 cm).

2. Following all local codes, cut the housing pass-through hole.

3. Make sure that the facility cables (Ethernet and power, and if used, alarm, relay, and analog video and data) for the dome comply with the recommendations provided in Cable requirements on page 9.

4. Feed the facility cables through the housing pass-through hole in the mounting surface.

• Pull enough cable to make connections. You can always cut off unneeded length later.

• How many cables you have depends upon how many alarms and relays you are connecting in

addition to the Ethernet and power cables, and whether you will be installing cables for analog data and video. See Wiring and addressing the dome on page 31.

Installing the housing

With the surface prepared and/or the mount now installed, install the housing.

To install the housing, see Figure 9 on page 25 and do the following:

1. Remove either conduit knockout (side or top) in the housing.

2. Hold the housing up near the housing pass-through of the mount or cutout.

3. Connect a steel safety cable, if required by local codes.

a. Obtain a steel safety cable of 0.125 in. (3 mm) maximum diameter that complies with local codes.

b. Snip off the nipple that opens access to the safety cable clip.

c. Feed your safety cable through the exposed hole.

d. Secure one end of the safety cable into the safety clip surrounding the exposed hole inside

the housing.

e. Secure the other end of the safety cable to the building superstructure.

WARNING: DO NOT run any cables next to the heaters. Doing so could damage the dome or cause an electrical fire.

4. Feed the facility cables through the opened conduit hole of the housing. Allow enough cable length to

make connections. Figure 9 on page 25 shows how the cables run through the housing.

CAUTION: For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must support the

weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental vibration according to local codes. See Table 1, Minimum load requirements of dome configurations on page 9.

5. Attach the housing to the mount or ceiling by screwing the housing tabs open and down.

Installation Manual

Pendant-mount housings

Pendant-mount and flush-mount housings require different preparation of the mounting surface and different installation procedures of the housings. Follow the instructions given here for pendant-mount housings.

Pendant-mount housings can be mounted to a pipe to lower them from a ceiling or to a wall-mount arm to extend them from a wall. Instructions are provided in this document for both mounting methods.

Preparing the mounting surface

Following are the steps for preparing the mounting surface if you are mounting the housing to a pipe. If you are mounting the housing to the GEA-102 wall-mount arm, instructions for installing the GEA-102 are available in this manual (Installing the wall-mount arm on page 62). If you are installing one of the other mounts, refer to the instructions that came with the mount.

CAUTION: For all installations, heed these cautions:

• Complete all installation steps before supplying power to the dome.

• To ensure proper operation of a PTZ unit, install the mount level.

To prepare the mounting surface:

1. Following all local codes, install the pipe.

2. Make sure that the facility cables (Ethernet and power, and if used, alarm, relay, and analog video and data) for the dome comply with the recommendations provided in Cable requirements on page 9.

3. Feed the facility cables through the pipe in the mounting surface.

• Pull enough cable to make connections. You can always cut off unneeded length later.

• How many cables you have depends upon how many alarms and relays you are connecting in

addition to the Ethernet and power cables, and whether you will be installing cables for analog data and video. See Wiring and addressing the dome on page 31.

Installing the housing and cables

Chapter 2

Installing the housing

With the pipe or mount now installed, install the housing.

If you are installing the housing outdoors and onto a pipe, you must install the rubber water-sealing boot that provides an additional layer of water protection. Applying PTFE thread sealing tape (for example, Teflon tape) to the pipe is required as a first layer of protection.

CAUTION: Avoid getting rain or moisture in the housing or electronics may be damaged.

To install the housing to a pipe or mount, see Figure 10 on page 28 and do the following:

1. If you are installing the housing outdoors and onto a pipe:

a. Spray the pipe with soapy water.

b. Slide the rubber boot onto the pipe and above the threads.

c. Wrap the pipe threads with the supplied PTFE thread sealing tape in the direction that the dome

will screw onto the pipe. Overlap the tape and cover the threads.

d. After you have attached the housing in the following steps, slide the rubber boot down the pipe and

fit it securely over the housing’s flange.

2. Hold the housing up near the pipe or mount. If you installed the GEA-102 wall-mount arm, make sure that the safety chain is securely attached (GEA-102 wall-mount arm on page 62).

WARNING: DO NOT run any cables next to the heaters. Doing so could damage the dome or cause an electrical fire.

3. Feed the facility cables through the cable entry hole and dust seal in the top of the housing. Allow enough cable length to make connections. Figure 10 on page 28 shows how the cables run through the housing.

CAUTION: For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must support the

weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental vibration according to local codes. See Table 1, Minimum load requirements of dome configurations on page 9.

4. Attach the housing to the pipe or mount.

• For pipe installations, thread the housing onto the pipe. If necessary, first turn the housing

counterclockwise to compensate for the cable twisting.

• For wall-mount installations, use the fasteners that were provided with the mount.

Preparing the cables

Which and how many cables you will be preparing depends upon how many alarms and relays you are connecting in addition to the Ethernet and power cables, and whether you will be installing cables for analog video and data.

To prepare the facility camera cables, terminate the cable ends as shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11. Prepared cables

Ethernet (for digital video and data): terminate standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector

Note: If you are making your cables, do not add a boot. If you are using ready-made

cables that include a boot, cut off the boot and reterminate the cable.

Power: strip ends of wires

Alarms and relays: strip ends of wires

Analog data: strip ends of wires (UTP for RS-422 or STP for RS-485)

Note: Analog video and data wires can share the same

jacket but must remain separate twisted pairs.

Analog video (UTP): strip ends of UTP wires

Note: Analog video and data wires can share the same

Components used for basic and advanced operation

For basic operation, you need to connect Ethernet and power cables to the components in the dome shown in Figure 12. The Ethernet connection provides both video and data. For advanced operation, you can also connect any combination of alarm, relay, or analog data and video cables to the dome. How many cables you will be feeding into the housing depends upon how many alarms and relays you are connecting in addition to the Ethernet and power cables, and whether you will be installing cables for analog data and video. For pipe capacity, see Cable management on page 10. For other cable requirements, see Cable requirements on page 9.

Wiring the housing board

To wire the housing board, see Figure 13 on page 34 and Figure 14 on page 35 and do the following:

WARNING: DO NOT run any cables next to the heaters. Doing so could damage the dome or cause an electrical fire.

CAUTION: To ensure the security of your surveillance system, your IP network should be isolated and secured from

unauthorized access.

1. Connect the facility Ethernet cable for digital video and data.

2. Connect the facility power cable. Make sure that the power cable is fed over the top of the upper bracket and down beside the power connector. Use the provided 2-pin terminal strip. If you are using a heavier gauge cable, ensure that it is properly seated in the connector. Power in the Legend IP domes is not polarity sensitive.

When power is received by the housing board through the power connection, the housing board’s diagnostic power LED will appear orange. There are additional diagnostic LEDs that indicate the proper installation of the camera assembly (see Installing the camera assembly and bubble on page 41).

Chapter 3

3. If you are installing alarms and relays, connect the alarm and relay cables to the two provided 12-pin terminal strips. One is blue and one is green.

• Use dry contacts for alarms.

• Use relays with a maximum operating voltage of 30 VAC, 30 VDC at 0.5 A.

Note: Because of space constraints, if you are installing more than five alarms and/or relays, use a multiconductor

cable instead of individual single-pair cables

4. If you are installing analog video, connect the facility analog video cable.

• If you are installing UTP video, use the provided green 12-pin UTP terminal strip. It provides

connections for UTP video, in addition to alarms 7 and 8 and relays 1 and 2.

Note: If you have earlier analog Legend domes, be aware that the terminal strip providing the UTP video

connections has been flipped upside down in later domes. Read the decal to ensure you connect to the correct terminals.

• If you are installing coaxial video, locate the BNC connector.

Note: Use only crimp-on BNC connectors. Do not use screw-on connectors.

5. If you are installing analog data, connect the facility analog data cables to the main connections, which are the orange B and A terminals on the provided green 4-pin terminal strip. The AUX connections (yellow B and A terminals) are wired only if you want streaming position reporting or are using the Tyco/AD (RS-422) protocol.

The main data connections on the terminal strip are for control wires that

are coming in from the keypad. You may also daisy-chain the data signal on to additional domes.

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

For details about streaming position reporting, see the Legend IP User Manual (1055713).

Addressing the camera site and setting the protocol

The dome provides rotary switches for setting the camera’s site address and communication protocol. Site addresses can be numbered from 0 to 1599.

To set the camera’s site address and protocol, see Figure 16 and Table 9 on page 38 and do the following:

1. Locate the rotary switches. They are on the smallest and lowest board that is attached to the upper bracket up inside the housing. This smallest board is the active housing card (AHC). See Figure 12 on page 32.

2. Determine which setting numbers or letters on the three rightmost switches must be added together to equal the site number.

3. Determine which setting number or letter on the leftmost switch is needed to set the protocol.

4. Align the needed characters on each switch with the switch’s white marker. Be careful that any tool you use to turn the rotary switches does not slip and damage any board components.

Setting the termination

You must set the termination of the data signal in each dome (or device) to on or off. Only two of the four switches (1 and 4) on the DIP are used (Figure 17). Switches 2 and 3 are not used at this time, so it does not matter whether they are set to on or off. MAIN is for the dome input and AUX is for an auxiliary device output. The AUX connections are wired only if you want streaming position reporting or are using the Tyco/AD (RS-422) protocol. To wire a Tyco/AD (RS-422) keypad to the dome, see Upgrading Legend to Legend IP

<<<waiting for card info>>> on page 71. For details about streaming position reporting, see the Legend IP

User Manual (1055713).

To set the termination, see Figure 17 and do the following:

• Set the termination to ON if the dome or device is the final receiver location for the data signal.

• Set the termination to OFF if the data signal needs to loop out to other domes or devices.

Note: The switches are set to ON by default. You need to turn them OFF if you are looping the data signal.

Installation Manual

Installing the camera assembly

Most people can install the camera assembly with one hand. If you need to use two hands, do so.

After installation, the drive mechanism pauses for up to 30 seconds, then it performs a PTZ self-test and initializes. DO NOT move the camera while it is self-testing and initializing. After the self-test, the drive mechanism operates continuously.

You do not need to power down the dome or stop the camera’s movement before removing the camera assembly. Just remember that the heaters may be hot, so comply with the caution label and do not touch them.

Be prepared for the PTZ self-test that immediately follows the installation of the camera assembly. You can expect the PTZ to do the following:

• Pause for up to 30 seconds before beginning the self-test.

• Take from 3 to 5 seconds for the self-test.

• Travel to find its reference points, while initializing itself, during the self-test.

To install the camera assembly, see Figure 19 on page 43 and do the following:

1. To protect the lens, leave the lens cap on the camera until you have finished the installation.

2. Attach the safety lanyard to the camera assembly to suspend it safely while you continue working.

3. Align the camera assembly with the housing.

• Align the two color-coded alignment tabs with the two color-coded alignment slots.

Note: The alignment tabs are color-coded and of two different widths to help prevent reversed installation.

• Align the three standoff posts with the three standoff notches.

4. Push the camera assembly straight up so that the interconnect card slips easily into its socket and each

of the two pawls (one on either side of the camera assembly) comes to a solid rest on the landing of each of the two alignment tabs. If the camera assembly is not level, remove and reinstall it.

5. If the dome is powered, observe the diagnostic LEDs (Figure 18) to verify that the camera assembly

has been properly plugged in and powered. If the LEDs are not appropriately lit, reseat the camera assembly for a proper connection. The LEDs on the right side of the dome are for programming verification. The LED on the left should be red and the LED on the right should be green and blinking once per second. This communicates that the dome’s programming has started and is running. The LEDs on the left side of the dome are for Ethernet verification. The second LED in the group of four should be orange with the other LEDs showing activity.

Installation Manual

Installing the bubble

There are a variety of bubbles and housings. The interlocking clips and safety cables may vary, but all bubbles have them.

CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not touch the bubble with your bare hands, do not place the bubble face down on

any surface, and protect the bubble from dust. Oil and acid residue from your hands can etch some bubble surfaces and is difficult to remove. Use a scratch-resistant cloth or gloves when handling the bubble.

To attach the bubble to the housing, see Figure 20 on page 45 and do the following:

1. Fasten the bubble safety cable to the housing’s safety clip.

2. Swing the bubble up to the housing and align the bubble’s screws with the housing’s bubble screw holes.

If you are installing a plastic pendant-mount housing, there are alignment guides on the housing ring that straddle the rear-facing screw hole of the bubble ring.

3. Use the following guidelines for tightening the bubble screws.

CAUTION: Do not use a power drill with the self-locking, quarter-turn captive screws. A power drill can strip the heads

of the screws or the inside of the screw inserts (in the housing) enough to necessitate replacing the housing.

• If you are installing a plastic pendant-mount or flush-mount housing, the bubble screws are selflocking, quarter-turn captive screws and require only a quarter turn to tighten.

• If you are installing a flush-mount housing, the bubble ring contains a foam pad that requires you to push up while turning the screws.

• If you are installing the bubble on a rugged vandal-resistant housing, the screws are tamperresistant and require the provided Torx-pinned bit for tightening. Do not tighten these screws to more than 17 lb. in (192 cNm) torque.

4. Clean any fingerprints off of the bubble. See Cleaning the bubble on page 57.

Installation Manual

Passcodes off by default

Legend IP domes ship with the passcodes turned off. When you enter the programming interface for the first time during installation and go to the Passcode page under the Setup menu, the passcode fields are blank. Blank passcode fields mean the passcodes are turned off (disabled). You can choose to enter passcodes into the blanks. This turns passcodes on (enables them) and a passcode will be required to enter the programming interface the next time you try to access it.

The passcodes control who has access to the features of your dome (see Turning on passcodes). Only the installer through the installer passcode has permission to turn on, turn off, or change the passcodes. If no passcodes are programmed, all users are given installer access and are not required to log on. If only the Admin and Operator passcodes are programmed, then anyone can still access the entire programming interface as an installer, since the Installer passcode was not programmed.

Turning on passcodes

You can turn on one installer passcode, one admin passcode, and one operator passcode. They have the following permissions:

Installer: The installer passcode allows access to all dome features.

Admin: The admin passcode allows access to all dome features, except passcodes and firmware

upgrades.

Operator: The operator passcode allows no access until it is granted access to specific features on an

area-by-area basis.

CAUTION: If you use passcodes, record them in a secure place. 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 by the factory with no passcodes.

To access the programming interface and turn on passcodes, do the following:

1. At the normal display, press and hold the set

(  ) key on the keypad until you hear a beep

Figure 21. Normal display (programming interface accessed)

and the programming code display appears on the keypad’s LCD.

Troubleshooting

This section provides information to help you diagnose and solve various problems that may arise while configuring or using your GE product and offers technical support contacts in case you need assistance. (See

Contacting technical support on page 59.)

Common installation issues

Following are the most common troubleshooting issues and their solutions.

Note: For programming and operating issues, refer to the Legend IP User Manual (1055713) and the user manual for your

controller keypad.

• The dome is resetting during power-up, not powering up at all, or powering up but not operating as expected.

Verify that you are supplying sufficient power for your model of dome. See Power requirements on page 11.

• The diagnostic LEDs are not illuminating.

First, look at and feel the camera assembly to make sure that it is fully engaged with the upper bracket. Remember that the alignment tabs and slots are color coded. Is orange engaged with orange and white with white? Are the pawls seated on their corresponding landings? Is the interconnect card fully seated into its socket? If not, remove and reinstall the camera assembly. See Installing the camera assembly and bubble on page 41.

If that doesn’t work, then check the power cable and verify that it is properly connected. See Wiring and

addressing the dome on page 31.

• Video is not appearing on the monitor screen.

First, look at the LEDs that are visible below the dome and verify that the unit is powered and that the programming is running. See Verifying network connections on page 54. If the dome is not powered or the programming is not running properly, remove and reinstall the camera assembly. See Installing the camera

assembly and bubble on page 41.

If the video still does not appear, then check the video cable and verify that it is properly connected. For UTP video, ensure that the + and - ends of the cable are correctly connected to maintain the polar sensitivity of the UTP video cable. See Wiring the housing board on page 33.

• There is video, but no PTZ control.

First, verify the address of the dome. You can do this easily by pressing and holding the view key on the KTD-405 keypad. The dome’s information will be displayed on the monitor screen. If necessary, correct the address and/or protocol using the procedure in Addressing the camera site and setting the protocol on page 37.

If you still don’t have control of the video, verify that the data cable is properly connected. See Wiring the

housing board on page 33.

Finally, try resetting (cycling) the power to the dome by turning the power off then on.

Diagnostic LEDs

There are diagnostic LEDs that are visible underneath the dome. The housing board LED is visible before you install the camera assembly. The camera assembly LEDs are visible after you install the camera assembly.

Housing board power indication

When power is received by the housing board through the power connection, the housing board’s diagnostic power LED will appear orange. It appears orange because the red and green internal LEDs both illuminate. The housing board power LED is located on the PC board that is attached to the underside of the upper bracket. It can be seen before the camera assembly is installed. See Figure 29.

Verifying network connections

At times, you will need to verify if a dome or computer is being recognized (communicating) with the network. A simple way to do this is to PING (Packet InterNet Groper) it. Pinging a dome or computer tells you if its domain name or IP address is accessible. The ping command sends a message to the address and waits for a reply. If the reply returns without an error message, then you know to look elsewhere for the cause of the problem that you are troubleshooting.

To verify that a dome or computer is being recognized by pinging it:

1. At the computer’s desktop, click Start, click Run, type command, and click OK.

2. Obtain the dome’s or computer’s IP address (Figure 30) by typing ipconfig (no space) in the black

DOS window at the C:\> prompt and pressing Enter.

Figure 30. Obtaining an IP address

3. Ping the dome or computer (Figure 31 on page 55) by typing ping yourIPaddress at the C:\>

prompt and pressing Enter.

In ping -l 1500 yourIPaddress, the -l is a hyphen and lowercase L and the 1500 is the standard packet size used by GE Security products.

If the dome’s or computer’s Internet connections are correct, all packets contained in the message will show as having been sent and received (Figure 31 on page 55). If you are troubleshooting a specific issue, return to Common installation issues on page 52 and continue with other possible solutions.

If an error message is returned, first check the address that is programmed for the dome. If that wasn’t the error, then have your system administrator check the network connection to the dome.

Cleaning the bubble

Use the following procedures for cleaning the bubble. Be aware that the interior of the bubble requires extra care in cleaning. Use only the procedures provided below.

For warranty protection, comply with this section’s bubble handling procedures.

CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not touch the bubble with your bare hands, do not place the bubble face down on

any surface, and protect the bubble from dust. Oil and acid from your hands can etch some bubble surfaces and are difficult to remove. Use a scratch-resistant cloth or gloves when handling the bubble.

Cleaning the exterior of the bubble

To clean the exterior of the bubble:

Use any nonabrasive cleaning cloth and a cleaning agent that is safe for use on polycarbonate or acrylic plastic. Liquid or spray cleaner/wax suitable for fine furniture is acceptable.

Do not use this procedure for cleaning the interior of the bubble. See Cleaning the interior of the bubble.

Cleaning the interior of the bubble

To clean the interior of the bubble:

• To remove dust and other surface contaminants, first use clean, dry, pressurized air to gently blow off loose material.

• To remove heavier contaminants, rinse the bubble with water and immediately dry it with clean, dry, pressurized air to prevent water spots.

• To remove stubborn contaminants, use a “wick” to clean the bubble’s surface. To make the wick:

a. Use a high-quality, soft paper towel.

b. Roll a section of the paper towel into a tightly wound tube, tear the tube in half, and wet a fuzzy

end with 75% standard rubbing or isopropyl alcohol.

c. Hold the bubble with its opening facing downward and wipe the interior with the wick (held at its

dry end) using a circular motion starting from the outside and spiraling into the center.

d. Use a new wick for each of two additional passes over the bubble.

GEA-102 wall-mount arm

The cast aluminum wall-mount arm is used to mount a dome to a vertical surface. It is for indoor or outdoor use and mates with both the plastic indoor and cast aluminum outdoor pendant housings. It can be attached directly to a vertical surface or mated with a bracket (corner-mount, pole-mount, or roof-mount). Instructions for mating this mount to the various brackets are provided in the instructions for those brackets. The following instructions explain how to install the wall-mount arm directly to a vertical surface.

Installing the wall-mount arm

To install the wall-mount arm, see the corresponding figures and do the following:

CAUTION: For all installations, heed these cautions:

• Complete all installation steps before supplying power to the dome.

• To ensure proper operation of a PTZ unit, install the mount level.

1. The facility cables usually come out of the mounting surface and enter the arm through the rear opening in the base. If the cables are attached externally to the mounting surface and need to enter the arm through the side, open the conduit hole in the side of the arm with the instructions given in

Opening the conduit hole on page 65.

2. The factory secures the end of the safety chain to the collar opening with a quick tie (Figure 32). To keep the safety chain from slipping into the arm, leave the safety chain tied until you attach the dome to the arm.

Figure 32. Leaving the safety chain tied

Page 71

3. Remove the access cover (Figure 33).

Figure 33. Removing the access cover

4. Using the arm as a template, place it level against the mounting surface and mark the position of the mounting holes, and if needed, the cable entry hole (Figure 34).

Figure 34. Marking the mounting and cable entry holes

5. Following all local codes, drill and prepare the mounting holes, and if needed, cut the cable entry hole.

6. Feed the cables through the cable entry hole in the mounting surface or through the conduit attached to the opened conduit hole, and up through the arm.

• Pull enough cable to make connections. You can always cut off unneeded length later.

• Do not terminate the cables yet. Otherwise, they will not fit through the dust seal of the housing.

• How many cables you have depends upon how many alarms and relays you are connecting in addition to the Ethernet and power cables, and whether you will be installing cables for analog data and video. See Wiring and addressing the dome on page 31.

Installation Manual

Verifying dome software and AHC firmware versions

In order to operate Legend IP domes with Tyco/AD (RS-422) keypads, your domes must be installed with v2.1.9 (or later) software and the active housing cards (AHCs) in the domes must be installed with v7 (or later) firmware.

To verify the software version of the domes and the firmware version of the installed AHCs:

1. Select System and Status in the menus of the graphical programming interface. Refer to the Legend IP

User Manual (1055713) for details about using the programming interface.

2. Scroll down to the Site info and AHC info sections.

Wiring Tyco/AD keypads to Legend IP domes

If your domes have the correct dome software and AHC firmware (Verifying dome software and AHC

firmware versions), then connect your Tyco/AD keypads to the data connections of the domes as shown in

Figure 44 and Table 12.

Be aware that you lose streaming position reporting out of the AUX ports while you have Tyco/AD keypads wired to Legend IP domes.
