Warranty Information
The manual does not contain explicit warranty information.
- Functional Description: The Solaris T™ Dome offers high accuracy, speed, and configurability. It can be used for internal and external applications. Features include colour/day-night versions with privacy masks, fast preset acquisition (under 1 second), tours, patterns, presets, sector texts, and 7 local alarms plus tamper.
- Unit Components: The system comprises two main parts: the Dome Unit (camera and positioning system) and the External Termination Unit (XTU).
- XTU Functionality: The XTU handles power, video, telemetry, and alarm cable terminations, and provides low voltage power to the Dome. It features a menu-driven LCD for address and protocol selection, eliminating the need to open the Dome for most configurations.
- Connectivity: A 10m Cat-5 cable connects the XTU to the Dome. The XTU supports multiple protocols including Siemens CCDA, Molynx, Ernitec, Pelco D/P, VCL, Videmech Universal, Photon, and PCCON over RS485.
- OSD Features: On-screen display (OSD) menus allow for flexible configuration, including alarm/idle state actions, function assignment to presets, programmable video launch amplifier, on-screen diagnostics, installer programmable text, and camera module configuration.
- Installation Overview: The manual details installation procedures for the Dome unit and the XTU, including various mounting bracket options and cable assembly.
