How To Remove The Clock-Spring Cable Assembly - American Dynamics SpeedDome Optima LT Installation And Service Manual

How to Remove the Clock-
Spring Cable Assembly
Referring to Figure Chapter 3-7 .
1. Remove the lens and camera shrouds.
When removing the four screws from each shroud,
you may want to use a screwdriver with a magnetic
tip.
2. Detach clock-spring cable connectors.
On the camera/lens board, unplug the connector
from J2. At the base of the yoke bracket, remove the
two M3x12, Phillips head screws holding the
connector in place, and unplug the cable from the
slip-ring connector.
3. Remove the cable from the retainer
assembly.
With the cable ends hanging free, unwind the cable,
and slip it out of the retainer/spool assembly.
!
WARNING!
Note details of how this cable is
removed!
To install the new cable in step 4, you
have to reverse this process.
4. Slip the new cable into the retainer
assembly.
Using the inked marking on the new cable as a
guideline, crease the cable along this marking,
forming a 90° bend. Hold the cable's terminal
connector in your hand, and insert the bend into the
retainer.
5. Attach the terminal connector.
Connect the cable's terminal connector to the slip-
ring connector at the base of the yoke bracket using
the previous hardware.
6. Attach the receptacle connector.
Dress the cable's receptacle end clockwise around
the spool approximately 1-1/2 times; connect the
receptacle connector to J2 on the camera/lens
board.
!
WARNING!
Be careful not to twist the cable!
Dress the cable neatly, avoiding an extra
twist as you route it to J2.
7. Reassemble the two shrouds using the eight
screws.
