About the Camera Dome
The SpeedDome Ultra VII/VIIE camera dome
(Figure 1) comes in black or white finish (to blend
into surrounding areas), mounts indoors or
outdoors (with accessory outdoor enclosure), and
can communicate with the video controller over a
SensorNet 485, RS-422, Manchester, or UTC (up-
the-coax) network. The dome consists of a
mounting base, 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 (without I/O board) and a base with
I/O board.
•Base without I/O board. 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.
•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.
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
base without I/O board, or four alarm inputs and
four alarm outputs using the base with I/O
board.
•Eyeball. With a diameter of 120mm (4.75in),
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.

* Power, data, and video cables can be ordered
separately or within a composite cable that can be
ordered in various lengths. Plenum-rated cables must
be used in indoor ceilings used for environmental air
return (called "other air space" in the National Electrical
Code). Order parts through your distribution network.
Note: If you order cable from an outside source, wire
colors may be different.
** Belden 88760 (plenum), or Belden 8760 cable (non-
plenum) cable is recommended. Plenum-rated cables
must be used in indoor ceilings used for environmental
air return (called "other air space" in the National
Electrical Code). Order cable directly from Belden by
calling 1-800-235-3361.
Power Cable
For the camera dome to operate properly, line
voltage must not go below the worst-case low line
voltage shown in the following table. Make cable
lengths as short as possible to minimize affects of
low line voltages. As shown in the table, maximum
cable length depends on the Class 2 LPS (low
voltage) ac source (such as a J-box) and the worst-
case low line voltage. These lengths are for
Sensormatic composite cables, which use 18 AWG
ac power wires.
Note: Typically, distances are used that provide
a 15% margin between nominal and low line
conditions. For example, if the nominal voltage is
120Vac, restrict cable length to that associated
with 100Vac (0.85 x 120).

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 base without I/O board 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.

CAUTIONS
Cables
- Do not run data and power cables adjacent
to or in the same conduit as line voltage
mains power.
- SensorNet 485 networks require 22 AWG
unshielded cable. Do not exceed 32 devices
per cable run.
- RS-422 networks require 22 AWG shielded
cable. Do not exceed 10 devices per cable
run.
- Manchester networks require 18 AWG
shielded cable. Do not exceed 3 devices per

not over tighten these screws.
−Keep the dust cover to protect contacts
should the environmental PC board need to
be removed from the housing.
When connecting the housing and eyeball
assembly to an outdoor housing:
−Remove both slot covers to keep the camera
from overheating.
−Keep cables entering the housing away from
the heater assembly.
−Place tubing around the BNC connectors to
avoid shorting their metal surface to the
outdoor housing.
−Check heater fans. Both fans must be on to
prevent overheating.
Note: For further information, see installation
instructions shipped with the outdoor housing.
If disassembling the dome:
−Dome contains electrostatic-sensitive

Using the Install/Removal
Tool
CAUTION: Do not use this tool to connect the
dome to the standard base (without I/O board)
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.
The skirt or bubble remains 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 that is 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 20, maneuver the stem of the
tool into the top of the pole until it snaps in 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.
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, contact your
sales representative for repair instructions.
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 (0.1in) slotted screwdriver (for wire
connections). Wider blade widths can damage
connectors.
•Socket wrench with 5in 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 step 2 on
page 20).
•If an I/O board is used, use a ground strap
when handling the board. When shipping a
base having an I/O board, 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
(0.1in) slotted screwdriver. Wider blade widths
can damage connectors.
Procedure
Follow steps until the problem is corrected.
1. Check video on monitor (a, b, or c).
a. No video? Go to step 2.
b. Contrast or color off?
YES Contact your sales representative for
repair instructions.
NO Go to step 2.
c. Video rolls when switching between
monitors?
YES Use the video controller or switcher to
synchronize video vertical sync phases
of all domes to ac line. For specific
instructions, see installation and
service manual for the controller or
switcher.
NO Go to step 2.
