Troubleshooting Indoor Domes - American Dynamics SpeedDome Ultra III Installation And Service Manual

Troubleshooting Indoor
Domes
CAUTION: This troubleshooting section is for
indoor camera domes only! To troubleshoot
outdoor domes, see installation and service
manual shipped with the outdoor housing.
This chapter contains information on:
Routine troubleshooting
Detailed troubleshooting
Disassembling the dome.
IMPORTANT!
1. Try routine troubleshooting first!
Use this procedure to isolate the problem
without disassembling the housing and eyeball
assembly (the base with I/O board is field
repairable).
CAUTION: DO NOT troubleshoot if the dome
functions but does not pan or tilt (see step 2).
2. If you cannot isolate the problem, or the
dome functions but does not pan or tilt,
ship the dome to the National Service
Center (NSC).
The manufacturer suggests that you ship the
entire dome (with base, if it contains an I/O
board) to the NSC. For repair authorization,
call:
1-800-543-9740 (CEs)
1-800-442-2225 (Dealers)
1-800-241-6678 (End Users).
3. If you have no choice but to repair the
housing and eyeball assembly.
Follow the detailed troubleshooting procedure,
but use extreme care.
CAUTION: Once disassembled, parts of the
housing and eyeball assembly are "extremely
fragile" and may break. Proceed using extreme
care!
