About this Manual

This user manual describes how to operate the

SensorRail™ IIIe system using AD matrix

switchers and controllers. This guide does not

explain how to:

•Operate matrix switchers and controllers. See

instructions included with the device.

•How to install the product. See Installation

Guide 8200-0593-02

•Service the system. See Service Guide 8200-

0593-03.

Product Description

The SensorRail IIIe system enables a SpeedDome

Ultra dome camera to transmit video as it moves

along a rail to the ideal surveillance position. The

system consists of:

•Camera trolley that includes a SpeedDome

Ultra VII dome camera, an electronic positioning

board, and an RF video link system.

•A rail that the camera trolley runs along.

•PowerRail module that supplies dc power to the

trolley and converts data.

The SensorRail IIIe system is compatible with all

current AD matrix switchers and controllers.

Communication between the control device and the

rail system is done using an AD RS-422 protocol.

Note: The matrix switcher perceives the rail as a

dome camera. Therefore, all dome features are

available except privacy zone, competitor’s dome

protocols, home position, direction indicators,

freeze frame, and iris features.

Controlling the Rail System

The following devices can be used to control the

dome camera as it moves along the rail:

•AD Keyboard (AD2079 / AD2088 / AD2089)

•ADTTE / ADTT16E Touch Tracker®

•VM96 Matrix Switcher

•MegaPower LT

•AD200/300/1100.

Depending on the camera trolley configuration, you

move the trolley along the rail by using the Iris

OPEN/CLOSE keys (or Focus NEAR/FAR keys) on

the Touch Tracker or AD keyboard.

•Press iris OPEN (or focus NEAR) to move the

trolley forward.

•Press iris CLOSE (or focus FAR) to move the

trolley backward.

Note: Dome Auto-Focus mode is available by

simultaneously pressing the iris OPEN and CLOSE

keys.

IRIS

FOCUS

SpeedDome Ultra VIII: If this dome is

installed in the trolley, the following

features are not recommended:

•Privacy Zones

•Direction Indicators.

•Freeze frame

•Home position

Even if these features are operational,

their function depends on the dome

remaining stationary.

Programming Presets

Using the keyboard, select the monitor and dome

camera, then move the trolley to the desired

location and define the preset.

Programming Patterns

Patterns are a series of pan, tilt, zoom, and

position settings (including the trolley position on

the rail). For each dome on a trolley, you can

program up to three patterns with each containing

up to 98 commands and lasting no more than 6

minutes, 50 seconds.

Using the keyboard, select the monitor and dome

camera, then move the trolley to the desired

location and define and store the pattern.

Patrol Mode

Patrol Mode (Pattern #3) moves the trolley 1.5m/s

(4.92ft/s) the length of the rail 10 times, flipping the

position of the camera each time it reverses.

CAUTION: DO NOT use Pattern #3 as

part of a sequence. Patrol Mode is

dedicated to Pattern #3. Reprogramming

Pattern #3 will delete Patrol Mode

permanently.

CAUTION: Avoid using the Patrol Mode

for prolonged periods as it may affect

your warranty and service schedule.

Preventive maintenance is not included

in the warranty agreement.

VM96 Matrix Switcher: Place the trolley and dome

in the pattern starting position. While programming

a pattern, use Focus NEAR and FAR keys to drive

the trolley (even if the SensorRail software was set

up to use the Iris CLOSE and OPEN keys).

Sequences

Sequences are a series of camera scenes that

display one after another on a monitor for a

specified duration. Scenes included in the

sequence are called events, and the number of

events available for programming depends on the

matrix switcher.

System Limitations:

•The maximum duration for an event in the

sequence is 90 seconds for the ADTT16E.

•When trolley movement is included in a

sequence, the trolley requires time to move to

another position, whereas the dome switches to

its position immediately. When creating a

sequence, allow time for trolley movement. For

example, a trolley takes 19 seconds to move

across a 50m (164ft) rail.

Avoid using sequences for prolonged

periods as it may affect your warranty

and service schedule. Preventive

maintenance is not included in the

warranty agreement.

Auxiliary Output Functions

The following Aux outputs toggle functions in the

trolley.

•Aux 1: Invokes a soft reset in the trolley. It is

used only if the trolley is non-responsive or

abnormal behavior occurs. In some cases,

several pan/tilt commands need to be sent to

the dome to configure the proper protocol being

used. This is normal. Turn Aux 1 off when done.

•Aux 2: Displays the trolley distance traveled (in

km) and software version on the video monitor

for about 5 seconds using the dome text

overlay. Turn off Aux 2 when done.

•Aux 3 or Aux 4: Use to access the dome menu

system. Turn on one of these Aux outputs

depending on the matrix switcher and protocol

used. Go into the menu system and turn off Aux

3 or Aux 4 when done.

•Switching all Aux outputs off: Clears the

condition when the matrix switcher is in another

Aux state other than the dome Aux state (the

dome was reset or power reset but not the

matrix switcher).

Auxiliary output functions can be performed from

any AD keyboard or Touch Tracker.

Airborne Noise Measurements

The continuous sound level falls below 70dB. This

device has been tested and is deemed to have

passed the Machinery Directive.
