Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Overview Sparkle fully functional Dome camera. Sparkle is an integrated CCD
camera, optical zoom lens and high-speed pan and tilt system. The unit requires external control
equipment to access all its functions.
Product Features
The Sparkle PTZ Dome is a highly flexible precision camera system with a high resolution, high sensitivity
day/night camera and either 18x, 28x or 36x optical zoom. The Sparkle includes an advanced pan & tilt
mechanism with stepper motors for rapid and precise movement control and enhanced accuracy and
reliability. The aluminium pressure die cast upper housing and impact resistant polycarbonate lower
Dome, are highly durable and resilient to vandalism. Supplied as standard with up-the-coax and
multiprotocol RS-485 telemetry, the Sparkle is compatible with industry standard control equipment
making it ideal for system upgrades, as well as new installations.

Installation / Connection
Wall Mounting Bracket
1. Using the base casting as a template, drill and fit wall plugs to the mounting surface. Fit and screw
the base casting to the mounting surface.
2. The cable loom needs to be routed through the various mounting bracket components prior to final
assembly.
3. Screw the cover to the base casting using the 4 x trilobular thread forming screws supplied.
4. Fit the arm A keyholes slots over the M6 screw heads fitted to the cover, and then rotate to lock and
tighten the screws.
5. Slide the plastic cover down the arm, align the two brass pegs in the base casting with the
corresponding holes in the plastic cover and push down.
6. Attach the second arm B to the first arm and fit the two M6 screw and nut sets supplied.

Address Switches Settings and Controller Protocols
The address switches are used to set up the controller protocol and the unit ID of each Dome. There are 255
unit ID’s and a maximum of 32 control protocols. The following figures and tables outline how to set up
address switches on a unit.
Address switches S1, S2 and S3 (shown in Fig 13) are used to set up the unit ID and the controller protocol. S1
and S2 are hex switches used to set the unit ID and S3 (Fig 14) is used to set up the controller protocol.
