ACUIX™ PTZ High Speed Analog Dome Installation and Configuration Guide
Following a preventive maintenance schedule allows minor faults to be detected
and corrected before they become serious and cause equipment failure.
Regular maintenance also helps to extend the life of the equipment.
You should do the following at regular intervals:
• Verify that all mounting hardware is secure.
• Inspect all connecting cables for deterioration or other damage.
• Wipe the housing with a clean, damp cloth.
• Clean the dome.
It is extremely important to treat the surface of all domes with the same care as
you would a fine camera lens.
• Always handle the bubble from the outer surface. Both the inside and
outside can be irreparably damaged if dropped or scratched.
• To prevent scratching, carefully remove particles by hand (such as sand or
grit) prior to wiping or cleaning with a soft cloth.
• Use a damp cloth to wash the outside of the bubble.
• Remove dust from the camera lens. Brush with an oil-free soft brush or a
blower-brush (for photography use).
• Remove water or oil from the camera lens. Wipe and dry the lens surface
with a clean, soft cloth. Prepare a washed-out cotton cloth or lens cleaning
paper with alcohol or lens cleaning liquid. Clean by moving spirally from the
lens center towards its rim. Repeat until completely clean.
