Foreword

To prevent damage, and to achieve optimum reproduction of images, please read and follow this Instruction Manual carefully.

WARNING

The camera must be handled with utmost care to avoid damage to the sensitive image sensor. Do not touch the front glass of the image sensor. Connection, commissioning and maintenance must only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.

 Do not remove any covers as this could lead to serious physical injury that

may even result in death through electric shock.

 Mains-operated cameras must be connected to earth.  Cameras for low-voltage supply must only be connected to fully insulated

class 2 power supply units. Correct and safe operation of this camera is dependent on proper transport, storage, installation and connection, as well as careful operation and maintenance.

 Do not run data and power cables adjacent to or in the same conduit as line

voltage mains power.

 SensorNet 485 networks require 22 AWG unshielded cable. Do not exceed 32

devices per cable run.

 Siemens RS422/RS485 networks require 22 AWG shielded cable. Do not

exceed 10 devices per cable run.

 Always terminate the camera dome connected at the end of a RS422/RS485

cable run using termination jumpers.

 When using the standard base and wiring cables directly to the dome, ALWAYS

connect the video cable to the dome before you connect the 9-pin cable (which contains power). If you connect the 9-pin cable first, you risk shorting delicate electronics near the connector.

 I/O PC board (when used).  If a cable clamp is on this board, remove it, as it could damage cable connectors

in the housing during assembly.

 Use a jeweler's 2.5 mm (0.1 inch) slotted screwdriver to tighten connector

screws. Do not over tighten these screws.

 Use the dust cover when shipping the I/O board back to the manufacturer. It will

protect the spring-finger connector.

 When connecting the housing and eyeball assembly to an outdoor housing:

– Remove both slot covers to keep the camera from overheating. – Keep cables entering the housing away from the heater assembly. – Place tubing around the BNC connectors to avoid shorting their metal surface

to the outdoor housing.

– Check heater fans. Both fans must be on to prevent overheating.

 If disassembling the dome:

– Dome contains electrostatic-sensitive devices! Use a ground strap when

handling PC boards. Once disassembled, parts of housing and eyeball assembly are "extremely fragile" and may break. Proceed using extreme care!

About the Dome Camera

5 About the Dome Camera

The SIEMENS DAY/NIGHT Dome System CCDA1415-DN comes in black finish, mounts indoors or outdoors, and can communicate with the video controller over Siemens RS422/RS485 network. The dome consists of a mounting base, and a housing and rotating eyeball assembly.

5.1 Mounting Base

The housing and eyeball assembly connects to the base using a twist and lock action, enabling it to be moved easily from one location to another. The base attaches directly to a hard or tile ceiling, or indirectly to walls or ceilings using one of many optional housings and mounting structures. As shown in Fig. 1, two base types are offered: a standard base and a base with I/O board.

 Standard Base

With this base, video, data, and power cables are inserted through the base and attached to the top of the housing and eyeball assembly, which is then connected to the base. A lanyard connects between the base and the housing and eyeball assembly to prevent cables from being pulled during disassembly. The base comes in black.

 Optional Base with I/O Board

With this base, video, data, and power cables are pre-connected to an I/O PC board. A spring-finger connector on the board makes electrical contact with the housing and eyeball assembly as it connects to the base. The base comes in black (Quick Mount socket).

5.2 Housing and Eyeball Assembly

The housing and eyeball assembly consists of the following:

 Housing. The housing contains the dome's power supply, pan motor, and

electronics used to operate the eyeball. The housing provides one alarm input and one alarm output using the standard base, or four alarm inputs and four alarm outputs using the base with I/O board.

 Eyeball. With a diameter of 120 mm (4.75 inch), the eyeball contains a camera,

tilt motor, and associated electronics. The eyeball enables the camera to pan and tilt to track a target moving in any direction even as it moves under the

dome. Two slot covers in the eyeball facilitate access to the camera, one of which incorporates an opening for the camera lens. Remove both covers to improve ventilation when the dome is to be used outdoors. Each camera has 23 x optical zoom with continuous auto focus and back light compensation. Electronic zoom provides selectable magnification up to 184 x.

About the Dome Camera

5.4 Indoor Ceiling/Wall Mounting (Optional)

The camera dome attaches to one of the following optional indoor mounting structures (Fig. 4).

2GF1191-8BJ Hard Ceiling Bracket

This bracket enables the Top Hat housing to be recessed in the ceiling. The bracket is mounted to the Top Hat and installed in a hole cut in the ceilingperfect for sheet rock, plaster, or solid ceilings. The Hard Ceiling Bracket can be installed entirely from below the ceiling.

2GF1191-8BH Fixed Bracket

This bracket enables the Top Hat housing to be recessed in the ceiling or recessed in a 2 foot drop ceiling tile. The bracket is mounted to the Top Hat and installed in a hole cut in the ceiling. The bracket distributes the weight of the dome and Top Hat housing across the T-bar framework of the ceiling. It is also very useful for sheet rock, plaster, or solid ceilings.

2GF1191-8BG Adjustable Bracket

This bracket enables the Top Hat housing to be recessed in drop ceilings that utilize other than 2 foot grids. The bracket distributes the weight of the dome and the Top Hat housing across the T-bar framework of the ceiling.

About the Dome Camera

5.5 Outdoor Mounting (Optional)

NOTE:

This document does not include outdoor installation and service instructions. For these instructions, see manual of Outdoor Housing.

The camera dome attaches to outdoor walls and ceilings using an outdoor housing (Fig. 5) and one of the following optional mounting structures (Fig. 6):

 Pendant Mount  Pole Mount  Corner Bracket.  Wall Mount long/short  Wall Mount short

The outdoor housing contains a pre-installed mounting base, a cooling fan for hot weather, a heater for cool weather and to prevent icing, and surge protection circuitry to protect against lightning strikes. An environmental PC board is used to pre-wire cables. A round spring-finger connector on the board makes electrical contact with the housing and eyeball assembly as it connects to the base.

NOTE: Do not use the I/O board (designed for indoor use) in place of the environmental board.

5.8 Power-Up Routine

After power is connected to the dome, the dome performs the following homing routine.

1. After a few seconds, the camera lens tilts up into the housing and eyeball

assembly.

2. The lens tilts downs until it looks at the floor.

3. Eyeball pans slowly.

4. Lens tilts up 90° (home position).

Once the lens is in its home position, you can use the controller to call up the camera and control it.

5.9 Synchronizing Domes

To prevent picture rolling when switching from camera to camera, all domes can be synchronized to a 50 or 60 Hz AC source.

8.2 Adjusting the Zoom Stop Settings

The SIEMENS DAY/NIGHT Dome CCDA1415-DN includes a 23 x optical zoom camera with 8 x digital zoom capability. The maximum possible zoom is 184 x. Zoom stop settings define how the zoom function is partitioned. Depending on the current zoom level, the camera will either stop at the first zoom stop setting or continue to the maximum zoom setting. The following example explains how zoom stop settings work. The default camera settings are 35 x for the first zoom stop setting and 92 x for the maximum zoom setting. If the current zoom level is less than 35 x, pressing Zoom In continuously causes the zoom to stop at 35 x. If the zoom level is 35 x or greater, pressing Zoom In continuously causes the zoom to stop at the maximum zoom setting of 92 x. The second zoom stop remains in effect until the zoom function is reduced to less than the first zoom stop setting (35 x) and the zoom button is released for one second or longer. To achieve higher zoom levels, change the maximum zoom setting. 2 x is the margin of error for the zoom stop settings.

8.2.1 Changing the Zoom Stop Settings

1. Select Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Sync Opts from the Dome Configuration Menu.

2. To change the first zoom stop, continue with step 3. To change the maximum zoom setting, continue with step 5.

3. Move the highlight bar to 1ST ZOOM STOP X. Change the setting.

– Select 23 to set the first zoom stop to 23 x magnification. – Select 35 to set the first zoom stop to 35 x magnification.

The default setting is 35 x.

4. To change the maximum zoom setting, continue with step 5. Otherwise, continue with step 6.

5. Move the highlight bar to the Max Total Zoom X setting. Change the value of the setting.

– The values for the setting are: 46 x, 69 x, 92 x, 115 x, 138 x, 161 x, and

184 x magnification.

The default setting is 92 x.

6. Select Exit. The Dome Configuration Menu appears.

8.3 Configuring the Line Lock Setting

Use the Line Lock setting to prevent vertical rolling or adjust the appearance of overlay text on color monitors. If you experience problems with vertical video rolling when switching multiple cameras to a single monitor, enabling the Line Lock setting phase locks the video with the AC power line. All cameras connected to the same power supply will be synchronized. This synchronization prevents the video from rolling vertically when cameras are switched. With the Line Lock disabled, the appearance of text displayed on color monitors may be improved. However, the video will no longer be phase locked with the AC power line. Video may roll vertically when switching between cameras.

9.2 Adjusting White Balance Settings

White balance is normally compensated for by the automatic white balance gain control. In some lighting conditions, you may need to manually adjust the red and blue settings for optimal viewing. When Automatic White Balance is enabled, the red and blue setting values are based on feedback from the camera. When Automatic White Balance is disabled, the camera uses the red and blue setting values to control the white balance. When Automatic White Balance is first switched from On to Off, the red and blue values displayed are based on the current feedback from the camera. The red and blue values range from 0 to 511. Changes occur in increments of 5. The following chart illustrates the red and blue settings relationship to white balance.

9.3 Understanding How IR Mode (Black & White) Operates

SIEMENS DAY/NIGHT Dome CCDA1415-DN provides a black-and-white (B/W) mode to improve camera performance when the light level falls below certain thresholds. This allows clear images to be obtained under low-light conditions. This is referred to as IR Mode. There are five IR Mode settings: Off, On, Auto High, Auto Mid and Auto Low. The following table lists the approximate lux values when the camera is expected to switch between color and B/W modes. Actual values depend on the current zoom setting of the camera and the light source.

IR Mode Setting Camera Performance

Configuring Camera Features

9.4 Understanding Wide Dynamic Range

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that allows clear viewing of both bright and low light areas in a scene. Use this feature if you need to view both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions simultaneously. For example, a dome is installed in the loading dock area of a building. When the door to the loading dock area is closed, the light level remains constant and the interior can be viewed clearly without iris adjustments.

Fig. 20 Example scene of a loading dock with the door closed

When the door is open, additional light from outside enters the room and distortion occurs. Without WDR, you could adjust the iris of the camera to compensate for the lighting change, however you cannot clearly see both activities inside and outside of the loading dock area simultaneously. For example, if you close the iris, the outside scene will improve, but the interior scene will become too dark to view clearly. In Fig. 21, the car near the loading dock door can be seen clearly, but the interior of the room appears too dark

Fig. 21 Example scene of loading dock with door open and iris close adjustment

If you want to view the interior scene, open the iris to make the dark scene appear brighter. However, this causes the outdoor scene to appear too bright. In Fig. 22, it is difficult to see the car near the loading dock door.

With WDR enabled, you can see the scenes both inside and outside the loading dock area. In Fig. 23, you can see the boxes stacked inside the loading dock area and the car approaching the door.

Fig. 23 Example scene with loading dock door open and WDR enabled

NOTE:

When WDR is enabled, you may notice a slight flicker to the video image. This is a normal aspect of WDR operation.

9.4.1 Changing the Wide Dynamic Range Setting

1. Select Camera Functions from the Dome Configuration Menu.

2. Move the highlight to the WDR field. Change the setting.

– Select OFF to disable wide dynamic range. Use this setting when the light

level is constant or changes in lighting conditions are gradual.

– Select ON to enable wide dynamic range. Use this setting when both bright

and low light areas need to be viewed simultaneously.

The default setting is OFF.

3. Select Exit.

9.5 Working with AGC and Open Shutter Settings

The Dome camera CCDA1415-DN provides settings for compensating for low-light scenes in color: Automatic Gain Control and Open Shutter. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) amplifies the video signal in scenes with minimal light. Many low-light scenes result in picture noise. As gain is increased, the picture noise is also amplified. When AGC is enabled, the camera automatically adjusts the gain setting value. When AGC is disabled, no gain is applied to the video signal. This may make the video appear darker on the monitor. The gain setting for the camera differs from the maximum gain (Max Gain) setting available on the Camera Functions menu. The Max Gain setting is an upper limit for how much gain can be increased when AGC is enabled. The trade-off between picture level (brightness) and noise may be adjusted by setting the Max Gain value. Lower values for Max Gain setting may result in a darker picture with less noise. Higher values for Max Gain setting may result in a brighter picture with more noise. In addition to the AGC settings, you can also change the Shutter settings to improve the dome's low-light performance.

Configuring Camera Features

9.5.1 Understanding How Advanced Shutter Settings Improve Low-Light Performance

The camera dome supports the ability to view color images from extremely lowlight situations. This feature is called Open Shutter and is only in effect during lowlight situations where an image would not be obtainable otherwise. It does not affect the camera performance in normal or bright light situations. When the Open Shutter is enabled and the scene illumination is too low to obtain a clear image at the normal video rate, the camera collects luminance information from multiple fields. As it does so, the current video information is retransmitted until new information is available from the camera. Under these conditions, moving objects will appear blurred, and still images may appear blurred, choppy, and with more static than video obtained under normal lighting conditions. The Shutter Limit value sets the video update time in fractions of a second. Depending on the lighting conditions, the video information may be updated more frequently, but no slower than the limit set.

Red Light Red Light Red Light Green Light

Fig. 24 Graphical view of Shutter Limit settings

In this example, the dome receives information about the color of the traffic light. While the light is red, the image is relatively static. With the shutter limit set to 1/4 second (250 milliseconds), updated red light information is transmitted at 1/4 second intervals. When the light changes from red to green, updated light color information becomes available. The dome must now transmit information about the green light. This update occurs as soon as the green light information is available. This may occur before the 1/4-second interval elapses. In this example, the light changed to green after 180-milliseconds. Thereafter the green light information is transmitted at 1/4-second intervals until new light color information becomes available. If the traffic light changes from red to green in the middle of the field integration interval (125 ms), you may get the impression that both the red and the green lights light up simultaneously. This situation is illustrated in Fig. 25.

Adjusting the Shutter Limit sets the update time used to maintain the image quality. If you want to videotape an incident in low-light conditions, you may find that tape quality is not acceptable. To ensure that the videotape quality is acceptable for possible prosecution purposes, you may want to test the Shutter Limit settings under the expected lighting conditions.

10.2 Alarm Actions

IMPORTANT

When used in Siemens RS422/485 networks, the dome camera can be configured to respond to all available alarm inputs. The dome cannot transmit alarm input states to the host controller. So if alarm states are to be transmitted to the host controller, the alarm device must be directly connected to the host controller.

The dome provides alarm inputs. By connecting alarm devices - such as smoke alarms, twilight sensors, or motion sensors - to these inputs, you can enhance the usability of your video surveillance system. You can further improve your video surveillance by assigning a dome action (a preset or pattern) to start whenever an alarm input changes from normal to abnormal. When Set Alarm Actions is selected from Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen, the following screen appears:

SET ALARM ACTIONS

INTERNAL ALARMS

INPUT NO. ACTIO N

1 NO ACTI ON 2 PRESET 1-96 3 PATTERN 1-3 4 NO ACTI ON

SEND INPUTS TO HOST? YES / NO

EXIT

Fig. 27 Set alarm actions.

Use this screen to assign a preset or pattern to occur whenever the alarm's input state changes from normal to abnormal. You may also choose to have no action occur when the alarm's input state changes. Alarms can be processed internally by the dome, externally by the controller, or both. You may choose to send changes in the input state to the host controller. If the changes in input state are sent to the host controller, the host actions have higher priority than the associated dome actions.

NOTE:

An active internal alarm only resets when the input state changes to “normal.” A manual reset is not available.

10.2.1 Configuring Alarm Actions

IMPORTANT

Some controller types allow you to define the alarm actions for dome cameras directly on the controller. Please refer to the appropriate Appendix for additional information on the controller types that support this function. Use either the dome configuration utility or the controller to set the alarm actions - never use both simultaneously at the same input.

Use only the dome configuration utility or the controller to assign the alarm actions.

1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ from the Dome Configuration Menu.

2. Select Set Alarm Actions. The Set Alarm Action screen appears.

3. Move the highlight bar to the appropriate alarm input. Change the setting.

– Select Preset to use a preset as the alarm action. Continue with step 4. – Select Pattern to use a pattern as the alarm action. Continue with step 4. – Select No Action if you do not want to set an alarm action. Continue with

step 6.

4. Move the highlight bar to the Action Number field and select the action number.

– For preset, select the number from 1 through 64. Continue with step 5.

NOTE: The protocol (or controller) used may support fewer presets.

– For pattern, select the number from 1 through 3 for the pattern you want to

assign. Continue with step 5. If the selected pattern is not programmed, the dome runs the Apple Peel pattern.

5. If you need to make additional changes to the alarm actions for this dome, repeat steps 3 and 4. When finished, continue with step 6.

6. Move the highlight bar to Send Inputs to Host?

– Is not possible to send alarm contact status back to the controller.

Choose No.

The default setting is Yes.

7. Select Exit to return to the Alarm/Areas/Home/PZ screen.

8. When the Alarm/Areas/Home/PZ screen appears, select Exit. The Dome Configuration menu appears.

10.2.2 Configuring Normal Input States for Alarms

IMPORTANT

Some controller types allow you to define the normal input states for dome cameras directly on the controller. Use only the dome configuration utility or the controller to assign the normal input states.

The normal input state for an alarm is the state that the device maintains when an alarm is not occurring. For example, you have a smoke detector connected to a dome input. Under normal circumstances, the smoke detector should not be detecting smoke. When smoke is detected, the alarm input changes states (from open to closed) and an alarm is issued. To configure the normal state for the alarm, select Set Alarm States from the Alarm/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen. The following screen appears:

SET ALARM STATES

INPUT NO. NORMAL STATE

1 OPEN / CLOSED 2 OPEN / CLOSED 3 OPEN / CLOSED 4 OPEN / CLOSED

EXIT

Fig. 28 Set alarm states

Use this screen to assign open or closed as the normal state for the dome alarm inputs. When an input state changes from normal to abnormal and an internal alarm action is associated with the input, the alarm is triggered. The normal state is used by both internal alarms and controller defined alarms.

10.2.3 Setting Alarm Input States

1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ from the Dome Configuration Menu.

2. Select Set Alarm States.

3. Select the appropriate input line, and then change the setting.

– Select Open if the alarm normal input state is open. – Select Closed if the alarm normal input state is closed.

The default setting is Open.

NOTE:

In most cases, the normal input state for a dome's input should match the contact type of the connected switch.

4. Repeat step 3 for each input requiring change. When finished, continue with step 5.

5. Select Exit to return to the Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen.

6. When the Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen appears, select Exit. The Dome Configuration Menu appears.

10.3.1 Setting the North Position

Direction indicators permit you to understand the approximate pointing position of the dome to an established reference point. This reference point is called “North” and may correspond to magnetic north (if it is known) or some other landmark or fixture. When the dome is initially installed, “North” defaults to a pre-defined position (0° pan/tilt). You may program the “North” position to be any point along the dome's pan axis (also called azimuth).

Programming

1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ from the Dome Configuration Menu.

2. Select Set North Position.

The Set North Position screen appears:

10.4 Programming Area Boundaries

If the dome is installed in a location where you can see numerous departments or other identifiable objects, you might want to consider programming area boundaries. Areas are programmed start- and end-points of a camera's field of view. Each area is a part of a circular viewing area that extends around the dome. The ending point of one area is the starting point for the next area. The ending point of the last area cannot go past the starting point of the first area. In this example, the area that includes the vending machines cannot extend past the starting point of the area that includes the emergency exit. If your controller supports areas, these are separate from the areas you can program with the dome. You should not use both the controller and the configuration utility to define areas.

ending Machines

Lockers

Entrance

Emergency

Exit

Area

Dom

Areas appear smaller when zoomed in.

Areas appear larger when

zoomed out.

Fig. 31 An example of areas found in a break room

The zoom level also affects how large areas appear. When you zoom in to an area, the area may appear to be small. When you pan the dome, area boundaries may appear to be close. However, if you zoom out, the area appears to be larger. When you pan the dome, the area boundaries appear further apart. With this in mind, it will be easier to establish area boundaries if the zoom level is small than if the zoom level is large.

NOTE: When defining areas, each area is assigned a standard name.

5. Mark the end-point of the area. The area number automatically advances.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each area you want to establish.

NOTE:

You will receive an error message under the following conditions:

 If you attempt to program an area boundary that passes the starting point of the first area  If you move the camera left after establishing the first boundary.

Return to step 2 and start again.

7. When the last area boundary is set, save the changes. A message appears confirming that the areas have been successfully saved. Press Focus to continue.

10.6 Establishing Privacy Zones

Privacy Zones are “masked” sections of the dome’s viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the surveillance system who do not have access to the dome password from viewing these designated zones. Each zone has four sides, and the zones may overlap to form irregular shapes. The Privacy Zones move in relation to the dome pan/tilt position. In addition, the apparent size of the Privacy Zone adjusts automatically as the zoom level is adjusted. Up to eight Privacy Zones may be established for a dome. Privacy Zones are useful for high security areas. For example, you might establish a Privacy Zone around a safe’s combination. However, you could view people approaching or opening the safe. In addition, the appearance of the configuration menus changes slightly when Privacy Zones are active. Both the first and last lines of the menus will appear in enlarged text when Privacy Zones are active. The menus change to one-sized text if Privacy Zones are hidden or deleted. To program Privacy Zones, select Privacy Zones from the Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/ PZ screen. The following screen appears:

10.6.1 How Privacy Zones are Programmed

Privacy Zones are established by selecting three points on the display image to mask. The fourth point on the Privacy Zone is automatically generated by mirroring the longest axis between the three selected points Fig. 34 illustrates how Privacy Zones are programmed.

Point 1

Point 4 mirrors the longest axis.

Point 2

Point 3

Fig. 34 Privacy Zone programming example

The dome’s firmware prevents you from establishing a zone that is too small or too large (greater than 90-degrees pan or tilt from the starting point). Fig. 35 illustrates the Privacy Zone programming screen:

NEW PRIVACY ZONE

Navigate to corner 1(2, 3)

ZOOM to Mark Corner

FOCUS to Abandon Zone

Fig. 35 Privacy Zone Programming screen

The circled arrows represent the target area on the screen for creating the Privacy Zone. Normally, this target area remains in the center of the screen. Using the Pan/Tilt control moves the target area by panning or tilting the dome. If the dome reaches its maximum tilt position, the Privacy Zone may still be established in the upper part of the display. When this occurs, the arrows move relative to the movement of the Pan/Tilt control until the top of the display area is reached. The boundary points on the Privacy Zone are selected by pressing Zoom. Once a boundary point is selected, the arrows “blink” until the target area is moved to a valid area. Once the target moves to a valid area, the arrows stop blinking. If you move the target more than 90-degrees from a selected point, the arrows begin to blink again, indicating that the boundary is too large. If you attempt to establish a boundary point while the arrows are blinking you will receive an error message: Zone is Too Small or Zone is Too Large. If this happens, you must start programming from the beginning. Pressing Focus Far returns you to the Privacy Zone programming screen. If you attempt to program more than eight Privacy Zones, the following message appears:

Maximum Allowed Number of Zones Defined

Pressing Focus Far returns to the Program Privacy Zones screen. To program a new zone, you must delete at least one of the eight existing Privacy Zones:

IMPORTANT

Areas of the Privacy Zone may be exposed during rapid pan / tilt movements of the dome. To compensate for this limitation, you may want to program the Privacy Zone to be 20 to 25% larger than the area you want to mask.

10.6.2 Programming Privacy Zones

1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ from the Dome Configuration Menu.

2. Select Privacy Zones.

3. The Program Privacy Zones screen appears. Select Add Privacy Zone.

4. Use the Pan/Tilt control to position the arrows over the boundary point. Press Zoom to create.

5. Repeat step 4 to create boundary points 2 and 3.

Tip:

Remember, if the arrows are blinking, you are not in a valid target area. Only select a point if the arrows are not blinking.

6. After the third boundary point is created, the fourth boundary point is automatically calculated. The new Privacy Zone appears on the screen. To program additional Privacy Zones, repeat steps 3 through 5. When finished, continue with step 7.

7. Select Exit to return to Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen.

8. When the Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen appears, select Exit.

11.5 Displaying Direction Indicators

Direction Indicators let you know the approximate pointing direction of the dome in relation to an established point called “North”. When enabled, the Direction Indicators appear along the top edge of the display. In addition, a tilt elevation indicator also appears along the left edge of the display. The value of the tilt elevation indicator is relative to the “virtual horizon” of 0° tilt. By default, the display of Direction Indicators is disabled.

NE E60

125

Fig. 43 Screen locations for Direction Indicators

In this example, the current pointing position is 60° from North. The tilt elevation is 12° above the virtual horizon. Panning to the left points the dome towards the Northeast. Panning to the right points the dome towards the East. If you tilt below the virtual horizon, the negative values will be displayed along the left edge (for example, -25). The elevation values range from +25° to -90°.

If you pan to a position that corresponds to a well-known navigational heading, the label corresponding to the heading appears in the center position. Fig. 44 illustrates the navigational headings and their corresponding degrees from North.
