Configuring the ACUIX ES
Step 2: Turn On (Power Up) the Dome and Find the Mechanical Home
The dome locates other referenced positions (such as presets) using a mechnical 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 3-1 .
To find home (MAXPRO-mode or Diamond protocols)
• On the controller, press and hold the Fn key , then press F1 .
Note For other protocols (VCL, VCL UTC, Pelco P, Pelco D and IntelliBus) there is
no command to find home during regular operation.
Step 3: Learn How to Use the Special Presets
There are several special presets reserved for controlling and programming the ACUIX ES.
See
Programming Preset Tours on page 61 to program new presets.
A maximum of 100 presets (including special presets) are supported. Various presets are
available for programming with all protocols with exceptions as noted in
Table 3-2 .
