Setting the PTZ dip switches
In order that the PTZ dome can communicate with a control keyboard or DVR, it needs to be set with
communication parameters. These are the communication Protocol and the Baud Rate plus a unique numeric
address. These parameters are set using dip switches and this dome has two switches, SW1 and SW2.
SW1 Dip Switch
The SW1 dip switch has a bank of 10 switches and switches 1 – 9 are used for setting the unique dome
address. Note that SW1 is also used to set the 120 ohm termination resistor (switch 10).

The unique “address” is needed so that if you are using more than one on a site, the keyboard “talks” to the
right dome when you want it to PTZ. If you only have the one dome on the site then the default “address” of
“1” is okay and you have no reason to change the dome from this. With multiple dome sites you need to set
up each dome address separately. This is accomplished by setting the SW1 dip switch to reflect a unique
numeric address. Please see the section
“Setting up a unique ADDRESS in a dome.”
SW2 Dip Switch
The SW2 dip switch has a bank of 6 switches and is used for setting the protocol and baud rate.
Note that for most SystemQ equipment they should always be set to PELCO-D with 2400 baud rate.
Please see the section
“Setup of the Protocol and the Default Baud Rate.”
