If the limit stops are turned
off (refer to the
Limit Stops
section), presets 23-26 can
be used as regular presets.
If the proportional pan mode is enabled (refer to
section), the pan and tilt speeds will depend on the amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom
settings, the pan and tilt speeds will be slower for a given amount of joystick deflection than
at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving too fast on the monitor when
there is a large amount of zoom. This slowing does not happen when going to a preset, but
does occur in turbo mode when high zoom is selected. The minimum pan and tilt speeds
are 0.1 degree per second at full zoom.

AUTO FLIP
When the camera tilts downward and goes just beyond the vertical position, the dome
rotates 180 degrees. When the dome rotates (flips), the camera starts moving upward as
long as you continue to hold the joystick in the down position. Once you let go of the joystick
after the dome rotates, joystick control returns to normal operation. The auto-flip feature is
useful for following a person who passes directly beneath the camera. Refer to
the
Programming
section.
Auto Flip

SCAN SPEED
Scan speed is adjustable from 1 to 40 degrees per second through the programming menu.
PRESET FUNCTIONS
The Spectra II dome is capable of going to 64 preset locations, each with a 20-character
label. The presets are numbered 1-32 and 35-66. Refer to the documentation for your
control system for programming presets.
When a preset operation is performed, the amount of error in moving to the pan and tilt
position is 1/2 degree. If you command the dome to go to an undefined preset, erratic
operation may result.
Presets 33 and 34 are fixed commands, meaning that you cannot program them. Preset 33
is the “flip” command, which will pan the dome drive 180 degrees. Preset 34 is the “pan zero”
command, which will direct the dome drive to the factory-determined zero reference point.
RANDOM, FRAME, AND AUTO SCANNING
Call preset 97 (30) to start random scanning. Call preset 98 (31) to activate frame scanning
(three seconds of scanning followed by a three-second pause). Call preset 99 (32) to start
auto (continuous) scanning. Scan limit stops are controlled by software. Refer to the
Stops
section to program the scan limit stops. When the dome reaches a scan limit stop, it
reverses direction. Call preset 96 (29) to stop a scan. Any pan/tilt or lens command also will
stop a scan.
Limit
ZONES
The Spectra II dome is capable of eight zones, each with a 20-character label. Depending
on the controller, you can define the zone size and define any zone as “blanked” for video
when the camera pans into the zone area. If zone labels are turned off, the system displays
the message, VIDEO BLANK, to indicate the video is being blanked and is not failing.
(Refer to
Zone Blank
in the
Programming
section for instructions.)
Pelco Manual C2423M (5/00) 5
NOTE:
The dome cannot
do electronic zoom in a
pattern. Optical zoom will
operate in a pattern.
PATTERNS
The Spectra II dome can do either one full pattern (1.5, 3, or 6 minutes long) or two half
patterns (.75, 1.5, or 3 minutes long). This pattern can consist of any standard pan and tilt
or lens command. Presets, flip, and turbo are not allowed in a pattern. Zone scan can be
enabled while running a pattern.
Refer to the documentation for your control system to program and run patterns.
ALARMS
The Spectra II dome has seven alarm inputs, which can be designated as either high or low
priority through its programming menu.
When an alarm is received, the dome does one of the following:
• Moves to the preset position that corresponds to the alarm number. For example, if
alarm 3 is activated, the dome moves to preset 3.
• Runs a half pattern or full pattern as programmed in the Alarm Pattern menu.
• If the activated alarm inputs have the same priority–all low or all high–then the dome
will sequence between the presets that correspond to the alarm numbers.
• If the activated alarm inputs have different priorities–for example, one is high and four
are low–the dome goes only to the high. It remains fixed on the high and only goes to
the low after the high has been cleared.
In certain situations, the dome will respond as follows:
• If a preset has not been set, but an alarm is connected, the dome will go to a factory
preset that will not be the desired position.
• If one alarm is a preset and another is a pattern and both are received, the dome will
alternate between them.
An alarm clears by returning to its former (off) state.
Depending on choices made on the programming menu, the dome can respond to an alarm
by running one of the patterns below. (Refer to
more information.)
• Run full pattern
• Run half pattern 1
• Run half pattern 2
When sequencing between presets, the dwell time depends on the time set on the Alarm
Dwell menu for that preset. After the dwell time expires, the dome immediately does one of
the following:
• If the resume feature was selected on the programming menu and there are no other
alarms activated, the dome resumes its prior activity. So, it might return to its previous
position or resume a scan or pattern.
• If there are other alarms activated, the dome goes to them.
If you move the joystick to pan or tilt the dome, or if you issue a lens command while there
is an alarm, the pan and tilt or lens command overrides the alarm. Sixty seconds after the
last pan and tilt or lens command, the dome will return to the alarm preset if the alarm is
still active.
Patterns

Programming
section for
Pelco Manual C2423M (5/00) 6
AUXILIARY OUTPUTS
An AUX 1 command from the controller will activate the relay in the dome and operate the
device that is connected to the relay. The relay will remain latched until a clear command is
issued.
An AUX 2 command from the controller will place a ground at the output of AUX 2 to
operate the device that is connected to it. The output will remain latched until a clear
command is issued.
The output relay can also be programmed so that it is activated when any alarm input is
activated. When latching (toggling) is selected on the programming menu, giving the AUX 1
command from the controller changes the state of the AUX (for example, if it was on, this
turns it off.) The clear command from the controller will turn the AUX off in the latching or
toggle mode.
PARK
If the dome does not receive any commands for a specified period of time (refer to
Time Minutes
time specified is zero, or if preset 1 has not been programmed, the dome will not park.
The default is zero minutes.
in the
Programming
section), the dome will go to preset 1 and park. If the
Park
IR FILTER
The Spectra II color/black and white dome has an IR (infrared) cut filter in the lens that
switches in and out, automatically or manually, depending on how the dome is
programmed. Automatic operation is controlled by the Auto IR Level setting. Manual
operation is controlled by presets 88 (filter IN) and 89 (filter OUT).
The dome also has two settings that enhance viewing in low light: the Auto IR Level and
Slow Shutter Mode.
The IR filter level is the light level at which the lens switches IN or OUT. When the filter is
IN, the camera produces a color picture. When the IR filter switches OUT, the picture
changes to black and white, increasing visibility in low light conditions.
The slow shutter mode electronically extends the shutter time, providing greater sensitivity
in low light conditions. The picture may appear rough or smeared, depending on the distance and motion of the viewed image. This feature operates with the IR filter IN or OUT.
LOW LIGHT does not mean NO LIGHT. Some type of illumination is required
(street light, IR light, etc.). The camera is not sensitive to IR light when the IR cut
filter is IN.
AUTO IRIS
If auto iris is in the auto mode, it remains that way until you manually open or close the iris.
The dome will return to auto iris when it is panned or tilted more than 15 degrees. If there is
not enough light for a good picture when the iris is wide open, you can increase the gain of
the camera to improve the picture.
To increase the gain:
1. Hold down the Iris Open button until the iris is wide open.
2. Release the button.
3. Within one second, hold down the button again. This starts increasing the camera
gain. Hold down the button until a desirable picture is obtained or the maximum gain is
reached.

ZONES
The Spectra II dome is capable of eight zones, each with a 20-character label. Depending
on the controller, you can define the zone size and define any zone as “blanked” for video
when the camera pans into the zone area.
Zones can be programmed to overlap each other, although this is not recommended. If you
program two zones to overlap, the title of the zone with the highest priority (zone 8 is the
hiest, zone 1 is the lowest) will be displayed in the overlap area. The same applies to zone
blanking. For other information on programming zones, refer to the documentation for your
control system.

MAINTENANCE
DOME CLEANING
Clean the acrylic dome as necessary to maintain a clear picture. Be careful not to scratch the
surfaces of the dome.
Exterior Surface - Clean the dome’s exterior surface with a nonabrasive cleaning cloth and
cleaning agent that is safe for acrylic. Either liquid or spray cleaner/wax suitable for fine
furniture is acceptable.
Interior Surface (Except Chrome or Gold) - Clean the same as the exterior surface.
Interior Surface (Chrome or Gold) - The inside surface of a chrome or gold dome is easily
scratched. Use the following precautions to maintain the dome’s surface.
1. Always handle the dome from the outside of its circular flange.
2. Never touch the coated inside surface. The acid in your fingerprints will eventually etch
the coating if the fingerprints are not carefully removed according to the recommended
cleaning procedure in item 5.
3. If dust or other contaminants accumulate on the dome’s interior, remove the debris with
compressed air. Compressed air cans are available from photographic equipment or
electronic supply dealers.
4. If heavy residue accumulates and cannot be removed with air pressure, rinse with water
and immediately dry with air pressure so that water spots will not remain. Avoid wiping the
coated surface with direct hand pressure - it will easily abrade unless extreme care is
taken. Once scratched, the dome cannot be recoated.
5. If internal wiping is necessary, avoid hand rubbing. Instead, make a wick as follows:
Use a very soft paper towel. Roll a section into a tightly wound tube. Tear the tube in half,
and wet the fuzzy end of the wick with a solution of isopropyl alcohol diluted with water.
Hold the dome with its opening facing downward and wipe the interior of the dome with
the wet end of the wick. Use a circular motion, starting from the outside and spiraling into
the center. Use a new wick for each two passes over the dome.
