About the Camera Dome
The SpeedDome Ultra VI camera dome (Figure 1)
comes in black or white finish (to blend into
surrounding areas), mounts indoors or outdoors,
and can communicate with the video controller
over a SensorNet 485, RS-422, or Manchester
network. The dome consists of a mounting base,
and a housing and rotating eyeball assembly.
Mounting Base
The housing and eyeball assembly connects to the
base using a twist and lock action, enabling it to be
moved easily from one location to another. The
base attaches directly to a hard or tile ceiling, or
indirectly to walls or ceilings using one of many
optional housings and mounting structures. As
shown in Figure 2, two base types are offered: a
standard base and a base with I/O board.
•Standard Base. With this base, video, data,
and power cables are inserted through the base
and attached to the top of the housing and
eyeball assembly, which is then connected to
the base. A lanyard connects between the base
and the housing and eyeball assembly to
prevent cables from being pulled during
disassembly. The base comes in black
(RUPTB) or white (RUWPTB).
•Base with I/O Board. With this base, video,
data, and power cables are pre-connected to an
I/O PC board. A spring-finger connector on the
board makes electrical contact with the housing
and eyeball assembly as it connects to the
base. The base comes in black (RUIOB) or
white (RUWIOB).
Housing and Eyeball Assembly
The housing and eyeball assembly consists
of the following:
•Housing. The housing contains the dome's
power supply, pan motor, and electronics used
to operate the eyeball. The housing provides
one alarm input and one alarm output using the
standard base, or four alarm inputs and four
alarm outputs using the base with I/O board.
•Eyeball. With a diameter of 120mm (4.75"), the
eyeball contains a camera, tilt motor, and
associated electronics. The eyeball enables the
camera to pan and tilt to track a target moving in
any direction even as it moves under the dome.
Two slot covers in the eyeball facilitate access
to the camera, one of which incorporates an
opening for the camera lens. Remove both
covers to improve ventilation when the dome is
to be used outdoors.
As shown in Table 1, the housing and eyeball
assembly can be ordered:
•With no base for existing indoor installations or
for mounting outdoors.
•With a standard base or base with I/O board for
new indoor installations.
•With one of two CCD cameras
−Color NTSC (for black or white domes)
−Color PAL (for black domes only)
Each camera has 23X optical zoom with cont-
inuous auto focus and back light compensation.
Electronic zoom provides selectable
magnification up to 184X.

Power-Up Routine
After power is connected to the dome, the dome
performs the following homing routine.
1. After a few seconds, the camera lens tilts up
into the housing and eyeball assembly.
2. The lens tilts downs until it looks at the floor.
3. Eyeball pans slowly.
4. Lens tilts up 90° (home position).
Once the lens is in its home position, you can
then use the controller to call up the camera
and control it.
Synchronizing Domes
To prevent picture rolling when switching from
camera to camera, all domes can be synchronized
to a 50Hz or 60Hz ac source. A V-phase
adjustment at the control console enables the
dome to sync to any line phase.
Diagnostic LEDs
If a standard base is used, LEDs in the housing
and eyeball assembly enable you to check for
power and data.
If a base with I/O board is used, LEDs on the
underside of the mounting base enable you to
check for power and data. If an RS-422 network is
used, other LEDs on the board indicate that wiring
is correct, reversed, open, or grounded.

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:
Recreational Water Products
627 E. College Ave.
Decatur, GA 33030
Ask for product code 08140
UPC: 0-14746-58140-2
Procedure
Referring to Figure 19, maneuver the stem of the
tool into the top of the pole until it snaps in place.
TO ATTACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:
Use tool to push up on bubble and to secure it in
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
and pull down. T-lanyard will prevent skirt or
bubble from falling.
TO CONNECT DOME:
1. Insert dome "eyeball down" into tool's
receptacle. Fins on dome mate with slots in tool.
Use fins to properly align dimple at top of dome
with label on tool.
2. Align label on tool with logo on I/O board in
base. Push dome up into place.
3. Turn dome clockwise until it clicks.
4. If power is applied, dome should begin its
"homing" routine.
5. Lower pole.
TO DISCONNECT DOME:
1. Raise pole and insert dome "eyeball down"
into tool's receptacle.
2. Fins on dome mate with slots in tool.
3. Turn dome counterclockwise until it unlocks.
4. Lower pole "vertically" to prevent camera dome
from falling out.
CAUTION: Turning pole horizontally as it is
lowered can cause camera dome to fall out of
tool and possibly break on floor.
5. Remove dome for service.

Troubleshooting Indoor
Domes
CAUTION: This troubleshooting section is for
indoor camera domes only! To troubleshoot
outdoor domes, see installation and service
manual shipped with the outdoor housing.
This chapter contains information on:
•Routine troubleshooting
•Detailed troubleshooting
•Disassembling the dome.
IMPORTANT!
1. Try routine troubleshooting first! Use this
procedure to isolate the problem without
disassembling the housing and eyeball
assembly (the base with the I/O board is
field repairable).
CAUTION: DO NOT troubleshoot if the dome
functions but does not pan or tilt (see step 2).
2. If you cannot isolate the problem, or the dome
functions but does not pan or tilt, ship the dome
to the Global Service Center (GSC).
The manufacturer suggests that you ship the
entire dome (with base, if it contains an I/O
board) to the GSC. For repair authorization, call:
1-800-543-9740 (CEs)
1-800-442-2225 (Dealers)
1-800-241-6678 (End Users).
3. If you have no choice but to repair the housing
and eyeball assembly. Follow the detailed
troubleshooting procedure, but use extreme
care.
CAUTION: Once disassembled, parts of the
housing and eyeball assembly are "extremely
fragile" and may break. Proceed using extreme
care!
Items You Will Need
You should have on hand the following items:
Phillips-head screwdriver
Small slotted screwdriver
2.5mm (0.1") slotted screwdriver (for wire
connections). Wider blade widths can damage
connectors.
Socket wrench with 5" extension and 5.5mm,
6mm, 8mm, and 10mm sockets
14-18 AWG and 20-22 AWG wire strippers
Install/Removal tool to connect/disconnect
dome to indoor bases with I/O boards, and to
attach/detach skirts and bubbles-without a
ladder.
Routine Troubleshooting
Use this procedure if:
•Dome does not respond to commands
•Dome does not produce video
•Quality of the video is poor
•Dome has no lens control.
CAUTION:
•DO NOT use this procedure if the dome
functions but does not pan or tilt (see page 22).
•If an I/O board is used, use a ground strap
when handling the board.
•When shipping a base having an I/O board to
the manufacturer, place the dust cover over the
spring finger connector to protect it.
•DO NOT over tighten connector screws on the
I/O board; they are delicate. Use a 2.5mm (0.1")
slotted screwdriver. Wider blade widths can
damage connectors.
