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).
For more information about Direction Indicators, see Chapter 5.
