Using the Install/Removal
Tool
CAUTION: Do not use this tool to connect the
dome to the standard base (without I/O board)
CAUTION: Use of the security pin prevents the use
of the install/removal tool.
The RHIRT install/removal tool is used only when
the dome is connected to a base having an I/O
board. The tool eliminates the need for a ladder
during routine service. It can be used to:
• Detach the skirt or bubble from the housing, if
used. The skirt or bubble remains attached to
the housing during service.
• Connect/Disconnect the dome from the base
with I/O board.
• Reattach the skirt or bubble.
Telescopic Pole Required to Use Tool
The tool attaches to a telescopic pole used to clean
swimming pools. The pole should be approximately 1.7m
(5.5ft) telescoping to 4.7m (15.5ft) long. It should have a
29.7mm (1.17in) inside diameter to accept the 28.6mm
(1.125in) outside diameter stem of the tool.
Procedure
Referring to Figure 13, maneuver the stem of the
tool into the top of the pole until it snaps into place.
TO ATTACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:
Use the tool to push up on the bubble to secure it
in place. Magnets secure the bubble. Lower the
pole.
TO DETACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:
Lifting the pole up at an angle, use one of the
hooks on the tool to catch one of the notches at the
side of the dome and pull down. The T-lanyard will
prevent the skirt or bubble from falling.

SPEEDDOME ULTRA 8 CAMERA DOME

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE

TO CONNECT DOME:
1. Insert the dome "eyeball down" into the tool's
receptacle. Fins on the dome mate with slots in

tool.
2. Align the label on the tool with the logo on the
I/O board in the base. Push the dome up into
place.
3. Turn the dome clockwise until it clicks.
4. If power is applied, the dome should begin its
"homing" routine.
5. Lower the pole.
TO DISCONNECT DOME:
1. Raise the pole and insert the dome "eyeball
down" into the tool's receptacle.
2. Fins on the dome mate with the slots in the tool.
3. Turn the dome counterclockwise until it unlocks.
4. Lower the pole "vertically" to prevent the
camera dome from falling out.
CAUTION: Turning the pole horizontally as it is
lowered can cause the camera dome to fall out
of tool and possibly break on the floor.
