Setting up the RapidDome Dome
Wiring Details
Mounting
The RapidDome Dome is designed for speed of installation and set up and so the wall
and ceiling mount brackets are supplied pre-wired. Customer wiring is via an internal
terminal block PCB that is located inside the base plastic cover. (See for the location of
the terminal block and for the wiring details.)
The false ceiling versions of the RapidDome Dome are supplied with a 3m cable.

Coax Control
Up-the-Coax RapidDome Domes do not require an address setting; therefore the settings
of positions 1 - 7 on DILSW1 are ignored. Position 8 controls the alarm feature as
described in Section 7.
LED on the RapidDome Dome Bottom Board
In the following section please refer to below for the locations on the board.
The RapidDome Dome Bottom Board
LED D19 will flash each time a valid control command for this receiver is received.
Alarm Settings
Switch 8 of the 8 way DIL switch (DILSW1: see on page 3) is used to toggle the
RapidDome Domes alarm setting. When the switch is ‘ON’ the RapidDome Domes
alarm inputs are enabled and set to the default settings as shown in the table below. If
switch 8 is ‘OFF’ then the alarms are not automatically enabled, but can be enabled and
adjusted using a MaxCom with local alarm menus. (See the MaxCom instructions for
details of alarm setting menus.)

When an alarm input becomes active, the RapidDome Dome will move to the
corresponding preset and Relay 1 will close its contacts. When the alarm time-out has
expired the RapidDome Dome will return to its pre-alarm state and Relay 1 will open its
contacts (provided no other alarms have been activated and are still timing out).
Alarm / Relay Connections
The connections to the alarm inputs and relay output are via 2 RJ45 sockets located at the
top of the RapidDome, shown below.
Top View of RapidDome with Alarms
The connections on the RJ45 plugs are numbered as shown below. A suitable termination
tool will be required to connect to the RJ45 plugs.

Installing the RapidDome Dome
When handling the RapidDome Dome, DO NOT touch the acrylic, or any
sensitive or precision parts, as this will cause damage to the unit.

Step
2 Align the lug on the RapidDome Dome with the slot on the bracket.
Carefully push the RapidDome Dome into the bracket and twist clockwise.
Allow to drop into the retainer.
Fitting the RapidDome Dome into the bracket
3 Fit the M3 CSK safety locking screw into the bracket to lock the RapidDome
Dome in place. This is ESSENTIAL for the safe operation of the RapidDome
Dome. (The hole for the screw is on the opposite side of the pole to the slot.)
4 Attach the cable cover. This is supplied as two halves that snap together over the
neck of the RapidDome as shown below.

Fitting the Cable Covers
When the RapidDome Dome is to be fitted to a JD5S80 (80mm) mounting pole,
then the hole in the cable cover will need to be aligned with the screw hole in
the pole when fitting the M3 CSK safety locking screw as shown below.

False Ceiling Model
The RapidDome Dome is designed to be mounted in a flat ceiling installation.
Mounting the RapidDome Dome in an angled ceiling installation will affect the
units center of gravity and, consequently, programmed tours will be affected.
The false ceiling kit requires a clear area of 270mm diameter for installation.

Step
1 Ensure that the false ceiling is able to support the weight of the false ceiling
kit. (1.25 kg)
2 Using the retaining ring as a template, cut a 160mm diameter hole in the ceiling
using an appropriate tool.
3 Drill three 6mm holes on the 186mm PCD to accept the mounting studs.
4 Follow the installation diagram in to fit the Lanyard. Ensure that the Lanyard is
fitted correctly at the point indicated. (Point ‘A’.)
5 Insert the RapidDome Dome through the ceiling and fit the retaining disk to
the back of the RapidDome Dome. (The rear of the ceiling face).

Sample Configurations and Notes for RS485 Twisted Pair Installations
Individual Twisted Pair Output
If a single RapidDome is to be connected to an individual twisted pair output, then the
link should be fitted across pins 1 and 2 on LK1. This sets the termination to ON. See
below for a sample Configuration
Individual Twisted Pair Output
Twisted Pair and ‘Daisy Chain’ connections
Twisted pair RS485 RapidDome Domes may be ‘daisy chained’ up to a maximum of 32
units from a single twisted pair RS485 output. When this option is used, it is imperative

that the termination link LK1 is set correctly. In a chain of RapidDome Domes, the link
MUST be fitted across pins 2 and 3 (termination OFF), for all domes in the chain except
the final one.
The link MUST be fitted across pins 1 and 2 of the last RapidDome Dome, (termination
ON). Below shows a system using two RapidDome Domes in this way.
Star Connections
DO NOT connect several twisted pair RS485 telemetry receivers in a Star Connection to
one twisted pair output using long cables - use the ‘daisy chain’ method detailed above
instead. If separate cables are brought back from the RapidDome Domes to the
transmitter then the ADCD16TP MUST be used to provide individual RS485 output to
the cameras.
ADCD16TP must also be used in systems that have more than 32 RapidDome Domes.

The above rules concerning the use of RS485 must be adhered to so that the control data
is not corrupted. Failure to adhere to these rules will seriously reduce the performance
of the RapidDome Dome
