QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 3 of 8
Assigning the Dome’s Home Position
The home position is a preset or pattern that
automatically runs after 10 minutes of dome
inactivity. Use this setting if you want a specific
area to be under surveillance after an operator
stops moving the dome.
For SpeedDome Optima LT, the home position is
established by programming Pattern 3 with Focus
Near or Focus Far as the first command. This
indicates to the dome that pattern 3 should be used
as the home position. Any commands that follow
will be programmed as Pattern 3.
For more information about programming patterns,
refer to your controller operator’s manual.

Programming Notes

To ensure that the home position displays the
starting position you want, adjust the pan, tilt,
and zoom before starting programming.
If Pattern 3 has only a focus command and no
other movement commands, Pattern 3 will be
treated as a preset. The dome automatically
points to the preset location after 10 minutes of
inactivity.
If Pattern 3 includes pan, tilt, and zoom
commands following the focus command,
Pattern 3 will be treated as a pattern. The
dome automatically begins repeating the
pattern after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Clearing Patterns
Clear patterns by re-programming the pattern to
include two focus commands (Focus Near or
Focus Far) as the only pattern commands. This
removes the previously programmed pattern and
restores the default Apple Peel pattern for the
selected pattern.
For more information about programming patterns,
refer to your controller operator’s manual.
Note: If Pattern 3 is cleared, this removes the
home position programming. The dome will not
automatically return to the specified preset or
pattern after 10 minutes of dome inactivity.
