alarmgenie Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi all, I am having trouble getting the telemetry working on a Orbiter VCL dome when connected to a Dynamic CCTV DVR unit, I have checked the dome on a vcl maxcom and it works ok on that so I don't think its the dome. I have set the dome to Pelco P protocol on address 0 with the termination on as its the only dome on the RS485 bus, connected it to the dvr and set the protocol up in the menu but I don't get any movement. What should I be setting the baud rate, etc for the dome ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alarmgenie Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 have you tried address 1? Yep have tried address 1 and still no movement I have gone through all the baud settings 2400, 4800 and 9600 and nothings moving You wouldn't have to cross the RS485 RX/Tx lines on it would you ???

You need to try swapping over the TX and RX in case you have them the wrong way around. I could recommend setting the dome and the DVR to Pelco-D as it System Q Ltd.

If it's an original orbiter, not an orbiter gold/orbiter lite, you'll probably find that it will only work with coaxial telemetry via a maxcom & will not work on 485 irrespective of protocol/baud rate selected.

The Dome is an orbiter gold with the alarm connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Inverting the dip switches from on to off and vica versa. also carry out a software reset. Another option is to check what softwere version is on the dome, contact honeywell and see if the dome is compatible with DVR. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
