Installing the camera assembly
Most people can install the camera assembly with one hand. If you need to use two hands, do so. After
installation, there is a pause for about 30 seconds, then the drive mechanism performs a PTZ self-test and
initializes. DO NOT move the camera while it is self-testing and initializing. After the self-test, the drive
mechanism operates continuously.
You do not need to remove power from the dome or stop the camera's movement before removing the camera
assembly. Just remember that the heaters may be hot, so comply with the caution label and do not touch them.
Be prepared for the PTZ self-test that immediately follows the installation of the camera assembly.
•
After the camera assembly is installed, it will pause for about 30 seconds before the self-test begins.
•
The self-test takes from 3 to 5 seconds.
•
During the self-test, the PTZ will travel to find its reference points to initialize itself.
To install the camera assembly, see Figure 15 on page 21 and do the following:
1. To protect the lens, leave the lens cap on the camera until you have finished the installation.
2. Attach the safety lanyard to the camera assembly to suspend it safely while you continue working.
3. Align the camera assembly with the housing.
•
Align the two color-coded alignment tabs with the two color-coded alignment slots.
Note:
•
Align the three standoff posts with the three standoff notches.
4. Push the camera assembly straight up so that the interconnect card slips easily into its socket and each
of the two pawls (one on either side of the camera assembly) comes to a solid rest on the landing of
each of the two alignment tabs. If the camera assembly is not level, remove and reinstall it.
5. If the dome is powered, observe the diagnostic LEDs shown in Figure 14 to verify that the camera
assembly has been properly plugged in and powered. The LEDs on the right should be red (left) and
green (right, and blinking once per second), showing that the dome's programming has started and is
running. If you have an Ethernet connection, the second LED in the group of four on the left should be
red. If the LEDs are not appropriately lit, reseat the camera assembly for a proper connection.

6. Observe the PTZ self-test for proper operation. The camera assembly will pause for about 30 seconds before
beginning the self-test, then perform the self-test in 3 to 5 seconds. You will see the PTZ traveling to find
its reference points, while initializing itself. DO NOT move the camera until it is done initializing itself.
The alignment tabs are color-coded and of two different widths to help prevent reversed installation.
