WINDOW BLANKING
Window blanking allows a user to program one four-sided, user-defined area that cannot be
viewed by the operator of the dome system. The blanked area will move with pan and tilt
functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and wide.

Software/Language File Upload
The six-pin data port underneath the trim ring of the dome system allows access for on-site
setup, testing, and uploading of revised operating software and language files. A Pelco field
service tool is required to perform these operations. Field service tools include Pelco’s remote
monitor kit (IPS-RMK) and remote monitor cable (IPS-CABLE), both of which must be used with
an adapter cable (IPS-MINIADPT).
For instructions on how to upload revised operating software and language files refer to the
Installation/Operation manual supplied with the field service tool.
NOTE: Only perform software uploads when necessary. Software uploads do not need to be
performed if the dome system is operating properly.
UPLOAD ICON
During a software/language file upload, an icon will appear on the monitor to indicate data is
being transferred to the Spectra dome system (refer to the figure below). The default setting for
data transmission is 115.2 KB per second. Noisy and long-run connections will slow the
transmission rate.
