AUTO FOCUS
Auto focus allows the lens to remain in focus during zoom-in, zoom-out, and motion functions.
There are two auto focus settings:
ON (default) If auto focus mode is set to ON, the camera will focus
automatically when using pan, tilt, and zoom functions.
OFF Focus is operated manually. To focus, press the Focus Far or Focus
Near button on the controller.
ZOOM LIMIT
Zoom limit allows the user to define a limitation on the amount of telephoto zoom. The default
setting is 128X.
Cameras with 128X zoom (16X optical zoom and 8X digital zoom) can be set for 16X, 32X, 64X, or
128X.
ZOOM SPEED
Zoom Speed allows the user to define how fast the dome will go from full wide zoom to the 16X
optical zoom. The default setting is MEDIUM.
Available settings for zoom speed include the following:
HIGH 1.9 seconds
MEDIUM (default) 3.6 seconds
LOW 6 seconds
NOTE: When using the HIGH setting, the image may be out of focus until zooming stops.
LOW LIGHT LIMIT
Low light limit is the maximum duration, in fractions of a second, that the electronic shutter will
remain open in low light conditions. The default setting is 2.
Settings include the following:
2 =1/2 second 8 = 1/8 second 30 =1/30 second
4 = 1/4 second 15 =1/15 second 60 =1/60 second

SHUTTER SPEED
Shutter speed is the duration of the electronic shutter. Program shutter speed to operate
automatically (Auto) or manually (Numeric Value).
AUTO (default) The electronic shutter speed is set automatically by the amount of
light sensed by the camera.
NUMERIC VALUE Spectra III dome system has several numerical shutter speed
settings. The higher the number, the faster the electronic shutter.
The slowest shutter speed setting is 2 = 1/2 second
The fastest setting is 30,000 = 1/30,000 second
Increasing the shutter speed lowers the light sensitivity and
reduces the streaking of fast moving objects.
NOTE: Set the shutter speed to 100 if you are using an NTSC camera in a 50 Hz environment.
This will eliminate any flicker that may occur in the picture.
AGC LIMIT
AGC Limit allows users to adjust how the system balances AGC (automatic gain control) and
electronic shutter in low light conditions. As scene lighting decreases, the system will
automatically adjust, adding a mixture of AGC and slow shutter according to the AGC LIMIT
setting. AGC LIMIT can be set between 0 and 40, with 40 applying maximum AGC before slow
shutter. In contrast, setting AGC LIMIT to 0 will force the system software to apply maximum
slow shutter (as defined by the LOW LIGHT LIMIT setting) before any AGC is applied. The default
setting of 28 sets the AGC and slow shutter balance to favor AGC, yielding more real-time low
light images.
NOTE: The maximum slow shutter that the system will achieve is 1/2 second shutter (refer to
the
Low Light Limit
section).

AUTO IRIS
Auto iris is the lens function that automatically opens and closes the iris in response to changing
light conditions.
Program the auto iris to operate automatically or at a user-defined level.
OFF Auto iris is disabled, and control is always manual.
AUTO (default) The iris is adjusted automatically to produce a constant video
output as determined by the Auto Iris Level setting.
NOTE: If auto iris is in the auto mode, it will remain that way until the iris is manually opened
or closed. The dome will return to auto mode when it is panned or tilted more than 15 degrees.
Auto Iris Level
Auto Iris Level is the numeric value the auto iris uses to maintain the brightness level of the
camera. Increase the value to brighten the scene. Decrease the level to darken the scene. This
setting can be adjusted if the video level in the auto iris mode is too bright or too dark.
NOTE: If backlight compensation is ON, decrease the Auto Iris Level setting.
Auto Iris Peak
Increasing the peak value will cause the auto iris circuit to react more to highlights or “peaks” in
the picture. Decreasing this value will cause it to use the average video level to adjust the iris.

BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION (BLC)
If a bright backlight is present, the subjects in the picture may appear dark or as a silhouette.
Backlight compensation enhances objects in the center of the picture. The dome uses the center
of the picture to adjust the iris. If there is a bright light source outside of this area, it will wash
out to white. The camera will adjust the iris so that the object in the sensitive area is properly
exposed.
There are two backlight compensation settings:
ON Backlight compensation is activated.
OFF (default) Backlight compensation is not activated.

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 dome.
There are two auto flip modes:
ON (default) Auto flip mode is enabled.
OFF Auto flip mode is disabled.
PROPORTIONAL PAN
Proportional pan automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds in proportion to 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.
There are two proportional pan modes:
ON (default) Enables the proportional pan mode.
OFF Disables proportional pan mode. The pan speed will not depend
on the amount of zoom.

NOTE: The Alert section only applies to Pressurized Spectra III dome systems with software
version 1.25 or higher. Spectra III systems that are not pressurized or pressurized systems that
do not have dome drive software version 1.25 or higher will not display this menu item.
Software version 1.25 or higher includes the software to monitor temperature, pressure, and
dew point for Pressurized Spectra III systems.
Sensors strategically placed inside the pressurized dome system continually monitor pressure,
temperature, and dew point. If internal conditions reach unacceptable levels, an alert message
appears on the screen describing the alert condition. Example: If pressure drops below 1 psig,
“LOW PRESSURE” is displayed on the monitor.
The following system conditions will trigger an alert message:
System Condition Alert Message
Temperature is above 140°F (60°C) HIGH TEMPERATURE
Temperature is below -40°F (-40°C) LOW TEMPERATURE
Pressure is above 11 PSIG HIGH PRESSURE
Pressure is below 1 PSIG LOW PRESSURE
The difference between the temperature and the DEW POINT (HIGH HUMIDITY)
dew point is less than or equal to 3°C.
The alert message will be repeatedly displayed until the system controller acknowledges the
alert condition by selecting ACK ALERT in the main menu. Once acknowledged, the alert
message changes to the programmed acknowledge action (ACK ACTION). If the alert condition
remains active after a period of time, the alert message reappears on the monitor, restarting the
alert message cycle. This cycle will continue to repeat until the alert condition is resolved.
REPEAT
This setting programs how often an alert message is repeatedly displayed until the system
controller acknowledges the alert condition. The following are the settings for REPEAT:
CONSTANT The alert message is continuously displayed on the monitor until
acknowledged.
15 MIN The alert message is displayed every 15 minutes for a 15-second
duration until acknowledged.
30 MIN The alert message is displayed every 30 minutes for a 15-second

The Current Reading menu displays the existing status of temperature, pressure, and dew point
inside the dome system. An arrow displayed to the left of a menu item denotes that an alert
condition exists.
An up arrow indicates the reading is over the threshold. A down arrow indicates the reading is
below the threshold.
The high temperature alert occurs if the temperature is above 140°F (60°C).
The low temperature alert occurs if the temperature is below -40°F (-40°C).
The high pressure alert occurs if the pressure is above 11 PSIG.
The low pressure alert occurs if the pressure is below 1 PSIG.
The dew point (high humidity) alert occurs if the difference between the temperature and the
dew point is less than or equal to 3°C.
NOTE: The normal operating temperature inside the unit will be greater than the temperature
outside the back box due to the heat emitted by the system’s electronics.
RESET ALERT
0°F
Reset alert clears the alert condition and removes the alert label from the monitor. The system
automatically checks internal conditions 60 seconds after reset. If conditions are still unaccept-

An operator can open the System Information and Display Setup Screens, but cannot access any
of the Dome Settings menus.
Controller/keyboard commands cannot override password-protected settings. If a keyboard is
used to set a preset, pattern, or zone, the Enter Password screen appears on the monitor.
The password must be entered before programming can continue.
At least one character must be entered to create a valid password.

RESET CAMERA
Use this function to reset all camera settings to factory default parameters.
CYCLE CAMERA POWER
If the camera is not operating or if you lose camera control, cycle camera power. Cycling camera
power resets the camera but does not change any saved camera settings.
REBOOT SYSTEM
Reboot the system if it is not operating or if there is no control. Rebooting the system will cycle
dome and camera power without changing programmed dome settings.

SOFTWARE/LANGUAGE FILE UPLOAD
The RJ-45 data port of the dome drive allows access for on-site setup, testing, and uploading of
revised operating software and language files. A Pelco field service tool is required to perform
these operations. Field service tools include Pelco’s remote monitor kit (IPS-RMK), remote data
port box (IPS-RDPE-2), and remote monitor cable (IPS-CABLE).
For instructions on how to upload revised operating software and language files refer to the
Installation/Operation manual supplied with the field service tool.
NOTE: Only perform software uploads when necessary. Software uploads do not need to be
performed if the dome system is operating properly.
UPLOAD ICON
During a software/language file upload, an icon will appear on the monitor to indicate data is
being transferred to the Spectra dome system (refer to the figure below). The default setting for
data transmission is 115.2 KB per second. Noisy and long-run connections will slow the
transmission rate.
