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, the drive mechanism pauses for up to 30 seconds, then it 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 power down 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. You can expect
the PTZ to do the following:
• Pause for up to 30 seconds before beginning the self-test.
• Take from 3 to 5 seconds for the self-test.
• Travel to find its reference points, while initializing itself, during the self-test.
To install the camera assembly, see Figure 19 on page 43 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 (Figure 18) to verify that the camera assembly
has been properly plugged in and powered. If the LEDs are not appropriately lit, reseat the camera
assembly for a proper connection. The LEDs on the right side of the dome are for programming
verification. The LED on the left should be red and the LED on the right should be green and blinking
once per second. This communicates that the dome's programming has started and is running. The
LEDs on the left side of the dome are for Ethernet verification. The second LED in the group of four
should be orange with the other LEDs showing activity.

6. Observe the PTZ self-test for proper operation. DO NOT move the camera until it is done
initializing itself.
7. Remove the lens cap.
The alignment tabs are color-coded and of two different widths to help prevent reversed installation.
