ACUIX Hardware Terminology
Figure 1-1 Pendant Components

Table 1-1 ACUIX Series Terminology
| Term Definition |
| dome The complete installed product including the housing, mount, bracket or adapter, lower dome, and the scan assembly. |
| scan assembly The combination of firmware, electrical and mechanical components including the camera and lens. The scan assembly is installed into the housing and enclosed by a lower dome. The scan assembly is a component of a dome. |
| camera The particular model camera purchased. The camera is a component of the scan assembly. |
| housing The in-ceiling, indoor or outdoor pendant and surface mount, or rugged upper enclosure. The housing contains the interface board that determines the type of ACUIX installed (analog, digital or fixed). Housing is a hardware component of the dome. |
| mount The hardware used to mount the housing to the applicable surface (for example, a ceiling or wall). The mount is a hardware component used with a specific type of housing. It may be included with the housing (for example, the rugged or in-ceiling domes), or purchased separately (for example, the indoor or outdoor pendant domes). |
| lower dome The clear or colored enclosure that covers the scan assembly and attaches to the housing. It also includes the trim ring. The lower dome is a hardware component of the dome. |
Configuration Options
About the On-Screen Display (OSD) Menus
All ACUIX Series domes provide access to on-screen display (OSD) menus to set various display, control, diagnostic and camera parameters based on user requirements. The OSD is also where mimic tours, privacy zones, sectors, presets and preset tours are programmed. To access the OSD with the ACUIX analog PTZ dome requires a monitor and controller.
About Rapid Eye Installations
When an ACUIX dome is network connected to a PC-based DVR (such as the Honeywell Rapid Eye™) and set to the IntelliBus™ protocol, you can:
Download a dome configuration to a PC for later use: After completing the user programming of the ACUIX unit (presets, mimic tours, preset tours, and privacy zones), you can upload the configuration data to a PC for safekeeping.
Upload a configuration to another dome of the same camera model: The configuration can be saved on a PC and uploaded to a replacement dome if required. The ACUIX configuration has camera model specific parameters so the configuration uploads (retrieving data from a faulty dome) and downloads (sending data to a new dome) must be between two ACUIX units with the same camera model.
Upgrade the firmware to one or more domes in your network.
For detailed information about these options using the IntelliBus protocol, refer to the Rapid Eye System Administrator's Guide.
ACUIX Feature Descriptions
See Configuring the ACUIX Dome on page 67 and the index for instructions related to each of these features.
Contacts
Note
The terms contact and alarm are used interchangeably to mean the same thing. Alarm is currently displayed on the OSD, although contact is a more accurate description as it is not an audible alarm but a change in electrical state to the contacts, which results in a programmed response.
Contacts can detect a door opening or window breakage, for example. Using the on-screen display (OSD), you can program up to four normally open or closed conditions to activate a preset, preset tour, or mimic tour.
Flashback
Use the Flashback feature to toggle between two saved positions and quickly return to a scene of interest.
Flashback is available using a controller. When you press Flashback, it saves the scene (Scene A) as a Flashback. When you move to the next scene (Scene B) and press Flashback again, it saves Scene B and returns the dome to Scene A. If the operator presses Flashback a third time (without manually moving to a new scene), the dome returns to Scene B. The dome only saves and toggles between two scenes at a time, except when Flashback is used during a preset tour.
Mimic Tours
A mimic tour saves the pan, tilt, and zoom commands performed by a user. When a mimic tour is started, the dome replays the saved commands. A mimic tour is useful when operators are interested in scanning slowly to a particular area on a regular basis. You can program up to 16 mimic tours up to 120 seconds (two minutes) each.
Presets
Note Presets are called PreShots on some controllers.
The ACUIX supports up to 150 custom presets when using IntelliBus™ or Diamond protocols; 132 with MAXPRO-mode, or 99 with VCL protocol. There are two types of presets: (1) A special preset or shortcut to a function, for example, opening the OSD menus and (2) an operator created/programmed set of commands (pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris setting). The programmed preset is recalled in response to a contact or set as the default function when the dome is idle for a specified time. Other facts about presets include:
- Individual presets can also be part of preset tours.
• Each preset can have a 24-character alphanumeric name. - With the ACUIX analog domes, presets are dependent on the protocol being used.
- By default, the preset name/number for configured presets displays in the top left corner of the screen.
Preset Tours
With preset tours the dome moves from one preset position to another. During the tour, the dome moves between presets at a set velocity (between 1 to 480 degrees per second) and stays for a specified time interval (the dwell) before moving to the next preset. The dwell time can be set between 1 to 99 seconds.
Up to 16 preset tours, each with up to 64 presets, can be programmed for every dome. Preset tours can be started by an operator, in response to a contact, or programmed as a default function when the dome is idle for a specified amount of time. The preset tours are useful for looking at specific locations like doors and windows or to do a scan of each location for a few seconds before moving on. Operators can run the preset tour once or continuously.
Privacy Zones
Privacy zones enable operators to restrict the view in a specific area, for example private property, windows visible across alleyways, swimming pools, or dressing rooms. Up to 32 privacy zones can be configured per dome. Another application is if an automated teller machine (ATM) is being monitored. The view of the ATM screen can be restricted by configuring it as a privacy zone.
A mask (a dark colored box) covers the video display when the dome registers a privacy zone. If there is a preset name, it displays over the video display when privacy zones are hidden. Privacy zone data is stored in nonvolatile memory, which saves the data when the dome is not powered. The privacy zones can be password protected.
The use of a privacy zone password or PIN is available depending on the protocol:
- For MAXPRO-mode, VCL, VCL UTC, Pelco P and Pelco D protocols, privacy zone programming is protected by a four digit numeric PIN. The default PIN is 1000.
- Diamond/IntelliBus: Up to 24-alphanumeric characters can be programmed as a password. The default password is a blank line.
Sectors
Sectors are used for labeling up to 16 areas monitored by a dome. For example, when you are monitoring an exit door, you can add a label in the video display as ExitDoor. After labeling, whenever the dome is positioned to monitor the exit door, the label ExitDoor displays on the monitor.
The sectors can also overlap. If the operator positions the dome where one or more programmed sectors overlap, the dome sequences between the sector titles on the video display for 1.5 seconds per sector.
Still Shot (Freeze)
There are two uses for the Still Shot feature.
- A freeze-frame of video can be made between the presets in a tour. This freezes the video while the ACUIX dome is moving. This results in an effect similar to a video switcher switching between different cameras.
- The operator can freeze the video manually and it remains frozen until the operator unfreezes it.
When the video is frozen, an asterisk displays on the same line as the dome ID, and the video remains frozen on the current scene until the operator unfreezes the video. If the dome ID display is turned off, the asterisk displays by itself.
Camera Model Dependent Features: EIS, TDN and WDR
The camera model (see Scan Assembly Model Numbers and Camera Specifications on page 110) installed with the ACUIX dome changes how various items are configured or set up using the OSD.
Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
Electronic image stabilization (EIS) reduces blurring of the camera image caused by vibration from external sources such as wind and roadway traffic. This reduction is done by digitally moving the image to counteract the actual physical movement of the camera.
When EIS is enabled, the camera reduces the area of the CCD that is scanned. This causes the video displayed on the monitor to appear to have zoomed in. When the dome undergoes a pan or tilt operation, EIS is disabled while the dome moves, and then re-enables after the dome stops moving for a five second period.
This is available with the HDXG camera.
True-Day/Night (TDN)
When the light level drops too low for a camera to accurately catch objects in color, the True Day/Night (TDN) feature automatically moves the IR cut filter out of the optical path and switches to black and white mode. A TDN camera captures more detail in low light by using ambient infrared light or external IR sources. On the OSD the term NightShot means the same as TDN and this type of camera is required to make configuration changes.
Note
The focus changes when the IR cut filter is removed. Therefore, when a preset is programmed during the day it may be out of focus at night when the IR cut filter is removed. The only way around this is to have day presets and night presets.
Available with the HDXJ, HDXF and HDXG cameras.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
Wide dynamic range (WDR) allows for proper exposure of an entire scene, even one which has very bright and very dark areas or one in which a portion of the scene is brightly backlit. WDR is perfect for lobbies, loading docks, and ATMs. WDR scans the video and sets the exposure level so it is balanced between the bright areas and dark areas.
The ACUIX domes with WDR scan each frame twice - once very quickly with a short shutter time for the bright areas and again at near normal speed with a slower shutter time for the dark areas. The two scans are then combined to yield a frame where the bright areas come from the fast scan and the dark areas come from the slower scan.
Available with the HDXJ, HDXF and HDXG cameras.
Introduction to the ACUIX PTZ Dome
Preparing to Install the ACUIX Dome
In this section:
• Cabling Recommendations and Cautions, page 25
• About the RJ45 Ethernet Connection, page 25
• General Cautions and Notes for All Cable Installations, page 26
• Maximum Cabling Distances, page 26
• Power Distances and Supplies, page 27
• Video CAT5 or Coaxial Cables, page 28
• Coax Control, page 29
• RS485 Twisted-Pair Telemetry, page 30
Cabling Recommendations and Cautions
Cable preparation should be completed prior to the installation. Each dome requires 24V AC at 1 A. The power supply should be located as close to the dome as possible for service and electrical isolation purposes.
If required, refer to other hardware installation guides to determine cabling requirements based on the individual configuration.
For all types, see Step 5: Connect the Field and Terminal Block Wiring, page 51.
About the RJ45 Ethernet Connection
The RJ45 connector located on the housing interface board is for production use and permits the firmware updates using a crossover cable and a PC. Honeywell Systems Group recommends you DO NOT connect your network to the RJ45 connector. It does not damage the dome, but may negatively affect the network.
General Cautions and Notes for All Cable Installations

- Faulty cable or wiring can cause all domes to fail or malfunction.
- If several domes are powered from a single power source (multiple tap) and noise is experienced on the UTP video output or coax video, then an isolated power supply should be used to correct the problem.
- Never run the cables close to potential sources of electromagnetic interference such as motors, dimmers, and high-speed data trunk cables.
- For CE compliance, the power supply must be connected to a CE-approved 240V UPS (uninterruptible power supply). See below for a list of the power supplies which must be used to meet FCC and UL requirements.
Note For all cables:
- The quality and specification of any cable used has a direct effect on the quality of the video signal at the control equipment end of the system. Compromising the cable quality and specification can lead to poor video quality and system performance.
- When other cables cannot be avoided, run cables perpendicular to each other, not alongside, and keep this distance as short as possible.
Maximum Cabling Distances
Note The terms shielded and unshielded are interchangeable with screened and unscreened, respectively.
Note Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) is a general term for all cabling systems used for transmission of data and providing connectivity on a network via a UTP cable. A UTP cable can contain multiple pairs of twisted cables. Commonly used for telephone cabling and 10BaseT and 100BaseT networks using CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6 cables.
See Table 2-1 for the recommended cables and maximum distances for proper operation of the dome. Where applicable, use Category 5 (CAT5) cables or higher.
Table 2-1 Recommended Cables and Maximum Distances
| Type Recommended Cable Maximum Distance | ||
| Power 18 AWG 2-conductor See gauge chart for each unit | ||
| Video Coaxial cable - RG59/U | 1000 feet (305 meters) | |
| Connector - BNC crimp on for RG59/U | ||
| Unshielded | CAT5 or better | 1200 feet (366 meters) |
| Twisted Pair | 1 twisted pair for data | |
| (UTP) Video | 1 twisted pair for video | |
| Data One shielded twisted pair, RS485 cable, can also be UTP CAT5 or better | 4000 feet (1219 meters) | |
| Contact (Alarm) | 20 gauge unshielded twisted pair 10,000 feet (3048 meters) | |
Power Distances and Supplies
The indoor ACUIX requires a 24 VAC power supply at 1.9A, measured at the dome. The outdoor ACUIX requires a 24 VAC power supply at 2.5A, also measured at the dome.
See the following tables to determine the wire sizes and maximum distances for one power source for one ACUIX and the required power supplies for CE compliance.

Video CAT5 or Coaxial Cables

- Always keep coaxial cables away from all other cables and run them in complete isolation wherever possible.
- If running a separate CAT5 cable specifically for CCTV, ensure it is clearly identified to prevent confusion with network and other structured cabling.
- Use Krone type junction boxes where CAT5 joints are necessary. These boxes are supplied with labeling for all terminals. A special tool is required to insert cables into Krone junction terminals.

Video CAT5 Cable (UTP Transmission)
CAT5 cabling for video transmission allows multiple domes to be transmitted down the same multicore CAT5 cable without dome video interference or crosstalk. Requires one wire pair per dome. It can support up to four domes on a single CAT5 cable.
Adhere as closely as possible to the following recommendations when installing with CAT5 cable and UTP receiving equipment.
- A UTP receiver module must be used at the control end of the system for every dome that is transmitting video via CAT5. A UTP hub can be used to receive up to 16 domes using CAT5 cable.
- PTZ telemetry is possible when a passive UTP receiver module or hub is used at the control end of the system. If an active receiver is used at the control end of the system, then RS485 telemetry must be used. This requires another single twisted pair per dome.
- When wiring via twisted pair, always ensure that you are actually using a twisted pair by examining the cable. Failure to use wires from the same pair leads to noise introduction and subsequent video and telemetry problems.
- The twisted pair cable used must not be shielded/screened in any way, either by foil, braided shield, or any other means. The use of any cable other than unshielded twisted pair (CAT5 or better) may lead to a reduction in performance and is solely the responsibility of the installer.
Coax Control
The ACUIX domes support telemetry control over coaxial cable. The dome must be set to VCL UTC for coaxial telemetry.
Up-the-coax operation of up to 1000 feet (300 meters) is possible with the appropriate coaxial cable.
RS485 Twisted-Pair Telemetry

- Star wiring configurations are acceptable with the use of a code distribution unit such as Honeywell HDCD8TP.
- Always keep RS485 data cables away from all other cables and run them in complete isolation whenever possible.
- Couple all data cable shields to data ground at the control point end only. The cable shields should not be connected at any other point.
- Connect the cable shield at the controller and connect the cable shield through any junction boxes installed, but do not connect the cable shield to the dome.
When using RS485 twisted-pair telemetry, the video signal is transmitted via a coaxial or CAT5 twisted pair cable and the control data (telemetry) information is a twisted-pair cable.
RS485 twisted-pair telemetry cabling is installed and wired as a network that consists of one or more daisychains. When more than one daisychain is installed, an RS485 telemetry distribution unit must be installed to broadcast telemetry data across the entire RS485 network. Multiple distribution units can be installed on the RS485 network to allow for complex wiring arrangements.
Most RS485 cable is 24 AWG—a 20-gauge unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is recommended. The UTP cable is a single twisted-pair with an overall shield and can be used in a daisychain up to a maximum of 4000 feet (1219 meters). These cables are available in a series of overall outer sheaths from standard internal usage finishes to external containment and direct burial types and must have less than 20 pF/ft (picorfarads per foot) of mutual pair capacitance (capacitance between the two conductors in one pair). The mutual pair capacitance should be uniform throughout the length of the cable.

• Step 8: Configure the Dome, page 57
Installation Warnings and Cautions

All installations must be performed by qualified technical personnel and must be in accordance with all national and local mechanical and electrical codes.
Ensure the mounting surface and installation hardware can hold the combined weight of the scan assembly, housing, lower dome and mount.
To prevent damage to the interface board, follow standard industry precautions for electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices.

- To make good wire contact and ensure the wire does not short to adjacent wires, fully insert the wire in the hole on the terminal strip.
- A good earth ground must be connected at J1, pin 2. Surge suppression is not provided if the unit is not connected to a good earth ground.
- Ensure there are no bare wires touching or faulty operation may occur.
- Ensure the cabling does not interfere with the rotation of the scan assembly.
- To maintain 24 VAC ± 10% at each dome, the proper wire size for the distance and the number of domes must be determined.
- For CE compliance, the power supply must be connected to a CE approved 240V UPS (uninterruptible power supply). See Preparing for Installation for a list of the power supplies which must be used to meet FCC and UL requirements.

For the RS485 daisychain wiring, the data cable shield should be carried through all units by connecting the cable shields together. Connect the cable shield at the control unit.
RS485 communication is terminated using switch SW1, located near terminal strip J1, pin 3.
One pair of shielded twisted pair RS485 wire or one pair of unshielded twisted pair wire can be used for RS485 data.
- Two domes can be home run connected to each control output with both domes terminated. This is a daisychain with two domes and on control output in the middle.
- The data lines can be daisychain wired (see Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5) from the control output. Daisychain wiring consists of up to 32 domes per data run with the control output at one end of the run or in the middle of the run.
- If the control output is at the end of the data run, the last dome on the end of the data run must be terminated and all intermediate domes unterminated.
- If the control output is in the middle of the data run, the last dome on both ends must be terminated, and all intermediate domes unterminated.
Note
Each RS485 port on the HDCC8TP must be treated individually as if each one is on a separate piece of equipment.

How to Set the RS485 Control Data Termination
- Locate SW1 on the housing interface board.
-
Carefully place the switch in the required termination position:
-
(Default) To keep the setting as not terminated, place switch away from ON.
• To terminate in 120 Ohm, place switch ON.
Selecting Video Over Coaxial Cable or Unshielded Twisted Pair (SW2)
Control Over Coaxial Cable

For control over coaxial cable, the dome must be set to VCL video telemetry (control over coax) protocol and must be controlled using an HMAX082 or HMAX162 control unit and HKJMMTP joystick controller.
The control equipment adds the data signal to the video coaxial cable. In this case, there are no connections made at data+ and data- on the terminal strip J1.
Video Over Coaxial Cable: Coax Video Enabled
The video must be terminated in 75 Ohm at the last video device. If the video is not terminated or is double terminated, the resulting picture is poor and ghosting is displayed.
Video Over Unshielded Twisted Pair: UTP Video Enabled

The video on the UTP wire cannot be daisychained.
If the UTP option is selected, the video is run on UTP wire and the BNC connector is not used. The video is connected at terminal strip J7, pins 1 and 2. A UTP-compatible receiver is required at the monitor to view and/or record the images.
The video lift and gain settings can be adjusted through the OSD menus to compensate for cable distances over UTP wiring. See Table 3-2 and Table 3-3 for lift and gain settings for cable lengths.
Table 3-2 Recommended Lift Settings for Cable Lengths
| Cable Length Lift Setting |
| 1200+ ft (365+ m) 100 |
| 900 ft (275 m) 80 |

| 300 ft (91 m) 25 |
How to Select Video Over Coaxial Cable or UTP
-
Locate SW2 on the housing interface board.
-
If required, change from the OFF default by carefully placing the switch in the required video selection position:
-
(Default) To keep the Coax Video Enabled, keep switch OFF (away from ON). Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) video balun disabled, to be used with normal 75 Ohm coax video operation.
- To enable UTP Video, place switch ON. UTP video balun enabled, to be used with 120 Ohm UTP video operation.
Step 2: Set the Switches on the Scan Assembly Circuit Board
Figure 3-6 (1) Circuit Board and Switch Locations (2) DIP Switch Example


Setting the Baud Rate, Parity and Protocol (SW5 and SW6)

Leave SW5-8 ON. Setting the DIP switch SW5-8 to OFF enables a user to change the address, protocol, baud rate and parity from the OSD menu (which is not recommended with most installations).
Note
If there are invalid protocol or baud settings on SW5 or SW6 the system defaults to MAXPRO-mode at 9600 baud rate.
- Set the protocol on switch SW5 in the required positions using Table 3-4. MAXPRO-mode is the default.
- Set the baud rate and parity on switch SW6 in the required positions using Table 3-5. 9600 baud and even parity are the defaults.

Setting the Dome Address (SW1 to SW4)

Each dome requires a unique address between 0000 and 9999. The addressing scheme may be restricted due to the limitations of the controller. For example, the HEGS5000/HEGS5001 controllers control dome addresses 1 to 256 whereas the HJZTP control dome addresses 1 to 128.
-
Turn the arrows on rotary switches SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4 to the number required using Table 3-6 and Figure 3-7 for reference. For example:
-
To set the dome address to CAM 0001, set SW1 = 1, SW2 = 0, SW3 = 0, SW4 = 0.
- To set the dome address to CAM 0125, set SW1 = 5, SW2 = 2, SW3 = 1, SW4 = 0.
Note
If the dome is set to address 0000, it responds to control commands for any address. For example, if an operator sends control commands to address 0002, the dome that has the address 0000 performs the same commands.

Figure 3-16 Dropped Ceiling Housing with Ceiling Plate

-
Select the location for the housing.
-
Using the supplied template, cut a 7 5/8" (193.8 mm) diameter hole in the ceiling. If the ceiling is drywall or plaster, it is recommended to seal the entire perimeter of the hole with tape or plastic channel to prevent dust and debris from falling into the dome.
-
If required, secure a safety cable to a building support structure. Attach the safety cable (from the building support structure) to the housing by:
a. Threading the safety cable through a looping sleeve,
b. Attach to the bracket outside the housing.
c. Back through the looping sleeve, and then
d. Crimp the looping sleeve to secure the safety cable.
e. Rotate the safety cable tab as required for ceiling clearance.
- Insert the housing through the hole in the ceiling.
a. Turn the wing tab screws to make sure the space between the wing tabs on the housing and the housing flange is greater than the thickness of the ceiling.
• To increase the space, turn the screw clockwise.
• To decrease the space, turn the screw counterclockwise.
b. Make sure the housing wing tabs are staggered so the tabs are not at the same height and position the wing tabs flat against the housing.
c. Using a Phillips screwdriver, turn the two housing screws clockwise to rotate the tabs out and tighten against the ceiling.
- The recommended maximum torque is 1–1.25 N·m (Newton meters) or 0.74–0.92 lbf·ft (pound-force-foot) or 8.85–11.06 lbf·in (pound-force-inch).
d. Place the ceiling tile, including the dropped ceiling plate (where applicable) and the installed housing on the ceiling grid supports.

Connecting the Wiring
Note Use the above tables and figures as references during installation.
- Route the field wiring ((data, power, video, contact):
a. Through the field wiring access hole in the housing, and
b. Through the access hole in the interface board installed in the housing.
Note At the appropriate time during the installation, ensure the field wiring access hole is sealed to prevent anything from getting inside the housing.
- Remove the plug-in terminal blocks on terminal strips J1 (24 VAC) and J6.
- (Optional): If required, set up the contact (alarm) input terminal block:

All contact input connections MUST be passive contacts.
Note The terms contact and alarm are used interchangeably to mean the same thing. Alarm is currently displayed on the OSD, although contact is a better description since it is not an audible alarm but a change in electrical state to the contacts resulting in a programmed response.
a. Remove the plug-in terminal block on terminal strip J4.
b. Connect a twisted-pair cable from each peripheral contact to each input at the number terminal and the common terminal on terminal strip J4. The contact is a dry contact between the terminal and the common terminal. The contacts can be configured as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC).
Note The common terminals are doubled up.
Note The contact cabling should not be terminated until standard operation of the dome is tested.
c. Configure the contacts as required.
- Loosen the screws on the terminal strip and insert the 24 VAC power wires, data wires, video wires (if UTP is selected) and contact wires in the correct positions on terminal strips J1, J4, J6, and J7. See Terminal Block and PIN Connections, page 51.
- Ensure the yellow labeled terminal strip is plugged into the yellow labeled connector and the white labeled terminal strip is plugged into the white labeled connector.
Note Both terminal strips J1 and J6 accept 26–12 AWG wire. If larger or smaller field-run wire is required, a 26–12 AWG wire must be spliced onto the field wire for insertion into the terminal strip.
Note Ensure the correct connections are made with terminal strip J6 - RS485 data (-) and data (+) otherwise polarity can be an issue.
Note You can connect the data cable shield to Pin 3 (SH) on terminal strip J1. Use this connection for looping the shield through to the next dome in the daisychain. It is not connected to the housing interface board.
-
Tighten the screw on the terminal strip to secure the wires.
-
Connect incoming coaxial cable to coaxial pigtail on the housing interface board. Tighten the screw on the terminal strip to secure the wiring.
-
Plug the terminal strips into the respective connectors on the interface board. If you are using a coaxial cable for video, connect the field run coaxial cable to J3.
Note When connecting field wiring, connect to either J3 or J7, not to both at the same time.
-
If applicable, secure the wires from the terminal strip and BNC connector together with a wire tire to ensure the cabling does not prevent the secure closure of the housing and lower dome.
-
Feed extra wire and cable up through the hole in the housing and route it so that it doesn't interfere with the scan assembly when it is inserted.
Step 6: Install the Scan Assembly into the Housing
Note Scan assembly installation is the same with all housing types.
- Carefully remove the plastic lens cap from the scan assembly. Do not touch the lens.
- Rotate and line up the scan assembly yellow label to the mounted housing yellow label.
- Gently push the scan assembly into the housing until the two guides on the scan assembly lock/snap into the holes on the housing guides.
- Gently pull down on the assembly to ensure it has properly latched into place.

Close-up of a mechanical device with internal components and wiring (no visible text or symbols)Step 8: Configure the Dome
Complete these steps:
- Review Before You Begin Configuring on page 59.
- If applicable, continue setting up and configuring other custom settings including camera specific configurations, mimic tours, presets, privacy zones and preset tours using the on-screen display (OSD) and controller. See Configuring the ACUIX Dome on page 67.
- If required or applicable, proceed to user configurations based on other hardware, for example, RapidEye.

Installing the ACUIX Dome
Before You Begin Configuring
Complete the following before configuring your ACUIX dome:
• Important Information about Controllers and Protocols, page 59
• Step 1: Prepare the Controller and Monitor for Use, page 60
• Step 2: Turn on the Dome and Find the Mechanical Home, page 60
• Step 3: (Optional) Learn about the HJZTP Joystick Controller, page 61
• Step 4: Learn How to Use the Special Presets, page 63
• Step 5: Open the OSD Menu and Start Configuring, page 65
Important Information about Controllers and Protocols
The ACUIX is compatible with the following controllers and protocols:
- HJZTP controller using the VCL, MAXPRO-mode or Diamond protocols
- HMAX082/HMAX162 Matrix Switcher and HKJMMTP controller using VCL UTP / coax control protocol
- Pelco P and Pelco D third party protocols and controllers
- HEGS5000/5001 controller with Diamond protocol
- IntelliBus protocol
In general, protocols allow cross compatibility between products and manufacturers. Because the ACUIX dome is designed to work with a variety of controllers, DVRs and other hardware, deciding what protocol to use when setting up a system is challenging. It is also not possible to describe all the tasks using all combinations of protocols and hardware. Therefore, this guide is a supplement to the hardware users guides and are based on the use of the Honeywell HJZTP joystick controller.
Note
The current HJZTP Controller User Guide indicates it can be set to either VCL or Diamond protocols. The ACUIX default protocol is MAXPRO-mode. For the HJZTP controller ONLY, MAXPRO-mode can be considered exactly the same as Diamond protocol. From the user's perspective, the MAXPRO-mode allows access to the same special presets as with the VCL protocol.
If other controllers, DVRs or protocols are used, MAXPRO-mode, Pelco P or Pelco D protocols also operate in a similar way as described for the VCL protocol. That is to say, how you access the special presets and on-screen display (OSD) is approximately the same.
Step 1: Prepare the Controller and Monitor for Use
Before making configuration changes with any controller, you need to:
- Ensure the dome is assigned to the controller being used. Refer to the applicable controller user guide for instructions.
- Confirm video is displaying on the monitor.
- Confirm there is manual control of the dome using the controller. To manually control an ACUIX and pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris, the address must be selected as the control dome. If the dome ID is turned on in the Display Options menu, the letter M is displayed on the monitor.
Step 2: Turn on the Dome and Find the Mechanical Home
The dome locates other referenced positions (such as presets) using a mechanical home (or index) position as a reference point. The dome also needs to locate the mechanical home/index position before responding to the first pan, tilt, and zoom command. For all protocols the operator can send any command to the dome, but what happens when the dome is first turned on depends on options as listed in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 Display Options at Dome Power Up
| When the dome first powers up | If Then | |
| Start up screen text The startup screen msg is ON | the protocol, baud rate, parity, data bits, camera model, and firmware release dates and versions display on the monitor. | |
| Finding home The dome is set to find home on startup | the message Finding Home... displays on the monitor followed by Home Found... | |
How to Find Home (MAXPRO-mode or Diamond Protocols)
- On the controller, press and hold the Fn key, then press F1.
Note For protocols VCL, VCL UTC, Pelco P and Pelco D there is no command to find home during regular operation.
Step 3: (Optional) Learn about the HJZTP Joystick Controller
The joystick on any controller is used to control the pan and tilt functions. The speed of pan and tilt is relative to the amount of movement applied to the joystick. The following is a brief overview of the operation of the HJZTP controller (Diamond, MAXPRO-mode or VCL protocols available).
For the HJZTP controller:
• the maximum pan speed can be between 120^ , 240^ , or 480^ per second.
- the maximum tilt speed is one-half the maximum pan speed.
- if the maximum pan speed is set to 240^ per second, the maximum tilt speed is set to 120^ per second.

Configuring Contacts/Alarms
Note
The terms contact and alarm are used interchangeably to mean the same thing. Alarm is currently displayed on the OSD, although contact is a better description since it is not an audible alarm but a change in electrical state to the contacts resulting in a programmed response.
Note
Remember you access the OSD by pressing 90 ▶ Preset.
Up to four contacts (called alarms on the display) can be programmed. The contacts are sampled 16 times per second. See Table 5-3 for a list of possible contact states.
Table 5-3 Program Contact Submenu: Contact States
If: Then:
| Contact is disabled The dome ignores a change of state in the contact input. | |
| Contact is enabled and not programmed | The dome ignores a change of state in the contact input. |
| Contact is enabled and programmed | The dome performs the action programmed for the contact input when a change of state occurs. |
| More than one contact occurs | The dome performs the action for the first contact followed by any others in numerical order.After a contact is triggered, the system confirms that the contact is both enabled and programmed. As long as no other contact is active, the newly triggered contact performs as programmed.The dome stays in the contact state until the contact is acknowledged. Any further triggered contacts are not serviced until after the first one is acknowledged, and then the subsequent contacts are activated in numerical order, starting at the lowest number.A contact cannot be reactivated until it has been both acknowledged and returned to its normal position. After acknowledgment and the contact change of state, the cycle can begin again. |
| If any contacts are active | AL displays on the monitor near to the dome's ID and lists all active contacts in numerical order. You cannot tell which contact is currently active except by viewing the function occurring on the monitor. AL remains on the monitor until all contacts are acknowledged. |

- IF disabled, THEN the unit remains at its present position until a control command is received.
If contacts are present then the dome automatically acknowledges the current contact, resets its delay timer, and processes the next contact in numerical order. All contacts are processed before performing the default function.
If motion detection is enabled, then the default function is automatically disabled.
Configuring Presets and Preset Tours

Continuous preset tour operation for extended periods of time (more than eight hours) is not recommended. Continuous operation results in increased zoom lens wear and maintenance expense. Similarly, avoid setting auto focus to continuous.
Note Presets are also called PreShots on some controllers.
Note Remember you access the OSD by pressing 90 ▶ Preset.
- If an operator runs a preset tour continuously, the dome goes from the last preset to the first preset. The amount of time the ACUIX takes to go to each preset depends on the programmed velocity and the distance to the next preset's pan and tilt coordinates. The velocity is programmable from 1^ to 480^ per second.
- The preset tour repeats continuously until an operator manually controls the dome (pan, tilt, zoom, focus, or iris) or the dome receives a preset, preset tour, mimic tour, or find home command.
Note If you are using a TDN camera, the focus changes when the IR cut filter is removed. Therefore, when a preset is programmed during the day it may be out of focus at night when the IR cut filter is removed. The only way around this is to have day presets and night presets.

Configuring Privacy Zones
Note Remember you access the OSD by pressing 90 ▶ Preset.
Note Note the following when configuring privacy zones:
- When a dome is powered up, it automatically starts to find home. When a privacy zone is enabled, no video is shown during this process and privacy zones are not recognized until the dome reaches home. Once the dome finds home, a picture can be viewed on the monitor unless a privacy zone overlaps with this home setting.
- If a dome is sent to a preset and any portion of a privacy zone would be visible while traveling to the preset, the video is masked with the box where any portion of a privacy zone is visible.
- To prevent any privacy zones being visible if the dome loses power, the video is blanked upon power-up until the unit finds home.

• Select a parity: Even, Odd, or None.
Sending Common Commands to all Domes

Only enable the Broadcast Command mode when common settings require changing and these common settings are for the same value across the network. Otherwise the dome performs all the commands even if not required or sent to that dome.
Special presets 73 and 74 enable and disable the broadcast command receive mode. When enabled, all domes receive all the commands sent from the controller to any dome address. For example, an operator might want to standardize the on-screen display (OSD) language displayed on the monitors for all the domes in the system.
Note
This option is not applicable to IntelliBus protocol as this protocol uses a different addressing mechanism to communicate with domes.
Enabling and Disabling the Broadcast Command Receive Mode
- To enable the Broadcast Command Receive Mode, select 73 ▶ Preset.
The message BROADCAST RX MODE ON displays on the monitor for a few seconds.
Also, the letter B is displayed at the end of the dome label (e.g. CAM-0001 M B). - Complete the required commands to all the enabled domes.

- To disable the Broadcast Command Receive Mode, select 74 ▶ Preset.
The message BROADCAST RX MODE OFF displays on the monitor for a few seconds.
The letter B is now not displayed at the end of the dome label.
Handling and Cleaning Equipment
Following a preventive maintenance schedule allows detection and correction of minor faults before they become serious and cause equipment failure. It also extends the life of the equipment.
- Inspect all connecting cables for deterioration or other damage.
- Wipe the housing with a clean damp cloth.
- Verify all mounting hardware is secure.
Handling the Housing Interface Board

To prevent damage to the interface and scan assembly circuit boards, follow standard industry precautions for electrostatic discharge sensitive devices.
Handling and Cleaning the Scan Assembly and Lens

To avoid damage to the static sensitive receiver and power supply boards, leave the scan assembly inside the pink, static dissipating bag it was shipped in until the time of installation.
- If the unit is shipped anywhere at a later date, it must be shipped in the pink bag or an equivalent static dissipating enclosure

Do not remove the camera from the scan assembly.
Do not touch the lens surface; handle the camera lens with extreme care so you do not scratch the optical surfaces.
A dirty lens surface due to dust, oil or fingerprints causes harmful flare that can result in degenerating lens property. To clean the lens:
- Remove dust—Brush with an oil-free soft brush or a blower-brush (for photography use).
- Remove water or oil—Wipe and dry the lens surface with a clean soft cloth. Prepare a washed-out cotton cloth or lens cleaning paper with alcohol or lens cleaning liquid. Clean by moving spirally from the lens center towards its rim. Repeat until completely clean.
Handling and Cleaning the Lower Dome
It is extremely important to treat the surface of all domes with the same care as you would a fine camera lens.
- Always handle the dome from the outer surface. Both the inside and outside can be irreparably damaged if dropped or scratched.
- To prevent scratching, carefully remove particles by hand (such as sand or grit) prior to wiping or cleaning with a soft cloth.
- After larger particles (such as the sand or grit) are removed by hand, use tepid water and a cloth to wash units.

Troubleshooting
Prior to calling Honeywell technical support, refer to the following for possible solutions to troubleshoot your installation and configuration. See the back cover of this guide to contact the Honeywell Video Systems technical support team in your area.
Note
Any equipment returned to Honeywell Systems Group for warranty or service repair must have a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number must be clearly marked on all return packages and internal paperwork.

General Troubleshooting
No Video
☐ Check that the power supply voltage is within the operating specifications for your camera model
☐Connect a video monitor directly to the dome video output cable to eliminate video problems that could be caused by other equipment such as video switches.
☐Check the video connections to the monitor or CCTV system.
☐Check for a loose connection at the video dome.
☐ Ensure that lens cap has been removed.
Fuzzy Video
☐ Check the video ground connections.
□Check for ground loops.
□Check camera focus.
Cannot Find Home or Does Not Go to a Preset
☐ Verify that the pan and tilt rotates freely with no interference from wiring.
☐ Verify the pan and tilt belts are on their associated sprockets and are not loose.
Pan and Tilt is Jerky
☐ Verify that the pan and tilt rotates freely with no interference from wiring.
☐Verify both data lines are connected.
☐ A motor may be defective or the wiring to the motor may be broken.
The Video Zooms for No Reason
When you are using the HXDG camera and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) is enabled, the dome reduces the area of the CCD scanned. This causes the video displayed on the monitor to appear to have zoomed in. When the dome undergoes a pan or tilt operation, EIS is disabled while the dome moves, and then re-enables after the dome stops moving for a five second period. This is the normal function of the HXDG camera with EIS enabled and this cannot be changed.
The Lens is Out of Optical Focus

Use extreme caution when cleaning the lens and dome so you do not scratch the optical surfaces.
- Verify the lens cap is not on the camera. A translucent cap may be in place and could blur the video if not removed.
- Send the dome to Preset 98. This special preset resets the camera lens.
- This can also be caused by dirt, oil, grease, fingerprints, and so on, that have accumulated on the lens or lower dome. Check the lens and dome and clean them, if needed.
a. Prepare a washed-out cotton cloth or lens cleaning paper with alcohol or lens cleaning liquid.
b. Clean by moving spirally from the lens center towards its rim.
c. Repeat until completely clean.
Video Is Inverted or of Poor Quality (Video over UTP Only)
- Swap the video + and video - wires of the UTP cabling on the video connections at one end only; either the dome terminations or the monitor terminations.
- Adjust the video Lift and Gain PWM settings using the OSD. The lift setting boosts the high frequency in the video to compensate for high frequency losses caused by capacitive roll-off of the cable distance. The gain setting amplifies the video to compensate for the resistance of the cable.
There is Video, but No Control of the Dome

If a camera model is physically changed in a dome, the configurations stored in the camera memory revert to the default settings. In order to load the previous configurations to the new dome requires two domes with the exact same camera model, for example configurations can only be transferred between one HDXA to another HDXA and not an HDXJ.
-
Ensure DIP switches SW5 and SW6 are set for the correct protocol, baud rate, and parity. The dome must be set the same as the control equipment.
-
Ensure the controller is matched to the correct dome address. Each dome has a unique address used for controlling it. Check the rotary switches on the scan assembly board.
-
Power down all system components for 15 seconds and then re-apply power to reset the dome. Manually control the dome and verify that the dome finds home.
-
For the wiring, make sure that:
-
the data wiring is connected at the terminal strip in the housing.
- any bare wires are not touching each other.
-
the wire insulation is stripped back far enough for a good connection.
-
If there are multiple domes in the system, exchange the scan assembly in question with one from another housing. Set the address of the exchanged scan assembly to the existing unit. Call up the dome at the controller and if control returns, the problem is isolated to that scan assembly.
Checking the DVR Protocol Matches the Dome Protocol
Honeywell DVRs must be configured to use the protocols in the following table to ensure the dome functions correctly. Use the following table and figures to troubleshoot these types of installations.
