4 Pelco® Protocol Mode
The Pelco Mode features Auto Baud Detection that automatically detects and adjusts the
AutoDome protocol and baud rate to match that of the controller. The AutoDome responds to
Pelco-D or Pelco-P protocol commands.
4.1 Hardware Configuration
The AutoDome is configured from the factory for RS-485 operation in Pelco Protocol Mode.
1. Connect the controller's TX terminals to the AutoDome's TxD terminals. See the
AutoDome Modular Camera System Installation Manual for complete wiring instructions.
2. Pan or tilt the keyboard joystick to confirm that control has been established to the
AutoDome (approximately five (5) seconds).
