Install/Removal Tool for Base
with I/O Board
The install/removal tool (Figure 8) enables you to
connect or disconnect the housing and eyeball
assembly from the mounting base, and to
attach/detach skirts and bubbles from a top-hat
housing, without the need for a ladder. The tool
attaches to a telescopic pole (purchased
separately). See page 14.

SPEEDDOME ULTRA 8 CAMERA DOME

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE

Power-Up Routine

After power is connected to the dome, the dome
performs the following homing routine.
After a few seconds, the camera lens tilts up into
the housing and eyeball assembly and then tilts
down until it looks at the floor. While doing this, the
eyeball pans fast in one direction to find the
approximate home position, then pans slowly to
find the exact home position.
Note: If this is the first time power was connected
to the dome, the dome will home to these
coordinates: 90° tilt, 0° pan. Otherwise, the dome
will home to the position it was in when last
powered down.
Once the lens is in its home position, the controller
can be used to call up the camera and control it.

Synchronizing Domes

To prevent picture rolling when switching from
camera to camera, all domes can be synchronized
to a 50Hz or 60Hz ac source.
A V-phase adjustment at the control console
enables the dome to sync to any line phase.

Diagnostic LEDs

LEDs on the underside of the mounting base
enable you to check for power and data.
If an RS-422 network is used, other LEDs on the
board indicate that wiring is correct, reversed,
open, or grounded.
