Spectra® IV SL and Spectra IV SE are Pelco’s premier integrated dome systems. These systems feature a high resolution camera/optics package
with configurable dome drive software.
This manual is designed primarily to be a reference tool for the installation and operation of your system. Inside you will find information about
features and commands, as well as a detailed menu tree and a quick start guide.
Be sure to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the information in this manual before installing and using your system.

Installation
This manual contains installation instructions for the Spectra IV dome drive only. For complete installation instructions for a Spectra IV dome
system, refer to the installation manual that was shipped with the back box.
SWITCH SETTINGS
Before installing the dome drive, you must configure the receiver address, termination, and baud setting. The DIP switches used to configure
these settings are located on the base of the dome drive.
Figure 1 shows the default settings for the DIP switches. Switch SW1-1 (SW1, swit
ch 1) is set to the ON position; all other switches are set to
the OFF position.
Refer to the following sections to set the address, termination, and baud settings for the dome drive.

Figure 1. Default Switch Settings
SW1: RECEIVER ADDRESS
Set the SW1 switches for the address of the dome drive. The following information is required to set the dome drive address:
Pelco P-type control: The default address is 2. Refer to Tab le F on page 64 for address settings that use Pelco P-type control. The maximum
number of receivers is 32.
Pelco D-type control: The default address is 1. Refer to Ta bl e G on page 65 for address settings that use Pelco D-type control. The maximum
number of receivers is 254.
SW2 SWITCH 1: AD-32 PRESET SYSTEM
SW2-1 should be set to the ON position if an AD-32 controller and Pelco’s TXB-AD translator board are used to control the dome system.
SW2 SWITCH 2: CM9502 SETTING
If a CM9502 matrix system is used with the dome drive, set SW2-2 to the ON position.
SW2 SWITCH 3: CONTROL SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY
Coaxial Control Systems
Although Spectra IV dome systems can operate with coaxial control systems from many manufacturers, the system is designed for optimal
performance with Pelco Coaxitron
To compensate for coaxial control systems from other manufacturers, Pelco has provided DIP switch SW2-3. Setting SW2-3 to the ON po
may improve dome control with these control systems.
If you are using a Pelco Coaxitron controller, leave SW2-3 in the default OFF position.

Pelco P Protocol Control Systems
To compensate for Pelco P protocol control systems from other manufacturers, set SW2-3 to the ON position. This may improve dome control
with some of these control systems.
SW2 SWITCHES 4 AND 5: SERIAL PORT SETTINGS
RS-422 Setting (Default)
SW2-4 and SW2-5 should both be set to the OFF position for RS-422 setting.
For control, only two wires should be connected to the RX- and RX+ connectors on the circuit board inside the back box. For bidirectional control,
four wires should be connected to the RX-, RX+, TX-, and TX+ connectors on the circuit board inside the back box.
RS-485, 4-Wire Setting
SW2-4 should be set to OFF and SW2-5 should be set to ON if a 4-wire serial port connection is used with RS-485.
NOTE: This setting is most commonly used with Pelco Endura® systems.
RS-485, 2-Wire Setting
SW2-4 and SW2-5 should both be set to the ON position if a 2-wire serial port connection is used with RS-485.
This setting is used to allow the Spectra dome system to transmit and receive commands on the same pair of wires. Only two wires should be
connected to the RX- and RX+ connectors on the circuit board inside the back box.
SW2 SWITCHES 6 TO 8: BAUD SETTINGS
Pelco D-type controllers are set for 2400 baud. The default setting for the dome drive is 2400 baud. If you are using a Pelco D-type controller, do
not reset SW2 switches 1 to 3 or SW2 switches 6 to 8.
Pelco P-type controllers can operate at 2400, 4800, and 9600 baud. Set the SW2 switches (6, 7, and 8), located on the base of the dome drive, to
the same baud as the Pelco P-type controller.

SW2 Switch 9: Coaxial/UTP Cable
SW2-9 should be set to the OFF position (default) if you are using coaxial cable. If you are using unsheilded twisted pair (UTP) cable, set SW2-9
to the ON position.
SW2 Switch 10: Termination Setting
When connecting more than one Spectra IV dome system to a single controller, terminate the unit farthest from the controller. Termination is only
required for the last dome in the series.
The dome drive is shipped from the factory in the unterminated (OFF) position. To terminate the dome drive, set SW2-10 to the ON position.
NOTE: Dome termination is not required for Coaxitron control.

DOME DRIVE
To install the dome drive:
1. Align the blue and red tabs with the blue and red arrows on the hinged door inside the back box.
2. Push the tabs in. Insert one side and then the other side.
3. Continue pushing on the ends of the tabs until both sides click into place (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE: When removing a dome drive that has been in use, caution should be taken to avoid direct contact with the top plate of the unit. This
section of the unit will be warm to the touch when first removed from an operating unit.
