12.5 Use with 3rd party controllers
It is possible to configure the Solaris™ Dome to be controlled via RS485 using a
number of other manufacturer's controllers. When using a controller other than
those offered by Siemens or Bewator (incorporating Molynx technology); there may
be variations in the actions a user must take in order to perform a particular task.
Where there is a lack of consistency between controllers, the Solaris™ Dome will
attempt to overcome these problems. It is therefore necessary on occasion to use
buttons on a controller to perform a different operation to that which may be
explained in the controllers manual. This is sometimes required to fully utilise the
functionality of the Solaris™ Dome.
The following third party protocols are implemented and may be selected from the
PROTOCOL menu:
