Philips RS232/485 (bi-phase via LTC8780/50) (adjust SW3 to suit input protocol)
Bi-phase telemetry is a proprietary twisted pair protocol that allows several domes to be daisy chained. A
Philips LTC8780/50 1-2-1 converter is required in addition to the 1-2-1 converter when driving bi-phase
telemetry.
Later domes with RS485 inputs can be driven directly from the 1-2-1 converter outputs without the need for
a Philips LTC8780/50 1-2-1 converter as shown below.
Set the dome address using the rotary switches to match the number of the camera input of the TX1500.
Ensure that any dome at the end of a daisy chained RS485 run has the RS485 terminated and the
intermediate domes have the RS485 de-terminated.
If the dome only supports FastAddress™, a Philips controller must be used to set the dome address before
installation. The 1-2-1 converter will not set the FastAddress ™.
