VG4 AutoDome Modular Camera System Alternative Control Protocols | en 29
Bosch Security Systems, Inc. User’s Manual F.01U.089.433 | 4.0 | 2008.09
4 Alternative Control Protocols
The VG4 AutoDome supports three alternative control protocols that allows a user to send
commands and to receive information from the AutoDome. The VG4 AutoDome supports the
following protocols:
– Pelco-P
– Pelco-D
– American Dynamics Manchester
– Sensormatic RS-422
The VG4 AutoDome natively supports the two Pelco protocols. To use the American Dynamics
Manchester or the Sensormatic RS-422 protocol you must purchase a separate module. The
module contains instructions to install any additional hardware and information about
additional on-screen menus.
4.1 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.
4.1.1 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).

NOTICE! The AutoDome supports only the RS-485 protocol while in Pelco mode. It does not
transmit responses back to the controller.
i
NOTICE! If control is not established, ensure that the RS-232/RS-485 selector switch is
positioned to RS-485 (outward toward the LED lights). This switch is located on the bottom of
the AutoDome CPU board, under the camera head and next to the LED lights. See Figure 4.1.
