Using The Install/Removal Tool - American Dynamics SpeedDome Ultra VI Installation And Service Manual

Using the Install/Removal
Tool
CAUTION: Do not use this tool to connect the
dome to the standard base.
Used only when the dome is connected to a base
having an I/O board, the RHIRT install/removal tool
eliminates the need for a ladder during routine
service. The tool can be used to:
• Detach skirt or bubble from housing, if used.
Skirt or bubble remain attached to the housing
during service.
• Connect/Disconnect dome from base with I/O
board.
• Reattach skirt or bubble.
Telescopic Pole Required to Use Tool
The tool attaches to a telescopic pole similar to the type
used to clean swimming pools. The pole should be 5
feet, 5 inches to 15 feet, 5 inches long and have a
1.170-inch inside diameter to accept the 1.125 inch
diameter stem of the tool. If this pole cannot be obtained
locally, contact the following manufacturer:

tool into the top of the pole until it snaps in place.
TO ATTACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:

place. Magnets secure the bubble. Lower pole.
TO DETACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:
Lifting pole up at an angle, use one of the hooks on
tool to catch one of the notches at side of dome

bubble from falling.
