alarmgenie Posted March 3, 2009 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 ???

alarmgenie Posted March 5, 2009 Author 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.

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
