SENDING AUXILIARY COMMANDS TO A DEVICE

The DX4500/DX4600 auxiliary feature allows you to control external equipment connected to the auxiliary outputs of Spectra domes or Esprit® positioning systems. The auxiliary function is implemented through Pelco D and Pelco P protocols.

The AUX key selects the auxiliary mode. Buttons 1–4 select the camera’s auxiliary outputs and operate as an on/off toggle.

For example, an Esprit equipped with a wiper uses Aux 1 to control the wiper. In this case, sending an AUX 1 command to the Esprit operates the wiper. You must configure the camera to establish how the camera responds to an auxiliary command. For detailed information about how a specific Spectra or Esprit camera system interprets auxiliary commands, refer to the documentation that accompanies the camera system.

1.On the front panel or remote control, press any of the arrow buttons to select a PTZ camera. Using the mouse, click the camera.

2.On the front panel or remote control press PTZ. Using the mouse, click the PTZ button . The PTZ control is displayed.
