1.0 DESCRIPTION
A KD6 Z-Series Dome is a pan and tilt mechanism containing a camera and lens that is controlled
remotely by an operator using a Diamond series control system. The KD6 Z-Series Dome
consists of a top dome, pan and tilt unit, and a bottom dome. The KD6 Z-Series Dome can be
mounted indoor on a ceiling pendant or wall pendant mounting bracket, in a dropped ceiling or a
hard ceiling. There is also a Weather Dome version of the KD6 Z-Series Dome for outdoor
applications. The whole assembly is often referred to as a "dome". The pan and tilt mechanism
with camera and lens is often referred to as a “yoke or "scan".
The indoor pendant top dome can be mounted on Ultrak’s indoor pendant ceiling dome mount or
indoor wall dome mount. The weather dome can be mounted on Ultrak’s outdoor wall mount.

3.0 EQUIPMENT HANDLING
Domes - It is extremely important to treat the surface of all domes with the same care as you
would a fine camera lens. The surface is easily scratched.
A. Always handle the dome from its outside surface.
B. Only use non-abrasive cleaners for acrylic plastic on the clear and smoked domes.
Pan and Tilt Assembly - The pan and tilt assembly consists of the pan and tilt mechanism, the
camera with zoom lens, power supply board, and digital receiver board. Do not attempt to
remove the camera from the scan assembly. If a camera or lens requires service, the entire
scan assembly must be sent back to the factory.
CAUTION
The Receiver Board and Power Supply Board On The Scan Assembly Have
Static Sensitive Devices. The KD6 Z-Series Dome Assembly Is Shipped In A
Pink Bag That Is Static Dissipating. The Unit Should Be Handled In This Bag
Until Installed. If The Unit Is Shipped, It Must Be Shipped In The Pink Bag Or
An Equivalent Static Dissipating Enclosure.
Camera Lens – Handle the camera lens with extreme care. Never touch the lens surface. Refer
to paragraph 7.0 Maintenance for cleaning the camera lens.

2. Control Data - One shielded twisted-pair RS-485 cable is required. The data terminal strip
accepts 24-14 AWG wire sizes. The data lines can be home-run wired or daisy-chain wired
from the control output. Home-run wiring is one scan per control output. Daisy-chain
(parallel) wiring is up to 32 scans per data run with the control output at one end of the run or
in the middle of the run.
The data cable shield should be connected together at each dome, but is not connected at
the dome. Connect the cable shield at the control unit. The maximum distance to the last
dome is 4000 feet.

3. Video – RG-59/U coaxial cable is recommended for cable runs less than 1500 feet (455
meters). For distances greater than 1500 feet, use RG-11 for distances up to 2500 feet (760
meters). If RG-11 coaxial cable is used, a UHF to BNC connector adapter is required. The
video must be terminated in 75 ohms at the last video device. If the video is not terminated
or double terminated, the resulting picture is poor and ghosting is displayed.
5.0 KD6 Z-SERIES DOME SETUP
Each KD6 Z-Series Dome must be given a unique address. The address (camera number) is
used by the operator at the control system to control the scan. The address is defined using a
JPD series controller. The serial number of the KD6 Z-Series Dome is required to set the
address. The serial number is located on the mounting bracket of the pan and tilt mechanism.
Refer to the KD6 Z-Series Dome operation and programming manual or the JPD Series
Controller manual for setting the address.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
Refer to the drawings in paragraph 8.0 for assistance in locating and identifying parts discussed
in the following table. Refer to paragraph 6.1 and 6.2 for removing the bottom dome and the pan
and tilt mechanism from the top dome. If the solutions in the table do not fix the problem, consult
the factory for technical assistance at 1-800-443-6681 (toll free USA) or 740-756-9222. Any
equipment returned to Ultrak for warranty or service repair must have an Authorization to Return
Material Number (ARM#) for its repair. The ARM# must be clearly marked on all return
packages.
Problem Possible Solution
a. No Video 1. Verify power to all pieces of equipment in the system.
2. If multiple scans and a video switcher are in the system:
a. Make sure the camera is called up on a monitor at the
controller.
b. Bypass the video through the switcher and hook up the scan
directly to a monitor. If video is present, verify correct video
connections to switcher.
3. Power down all system components for 15 seconds and then
return power.
4. On standard units, make sure the video cabling is connected
properly at the BNC connector at the interface board.
5. If multiple scans are in the system, exchange one of the domes.
Set the address of the exchange unit to the existing unit. Call up
the scan using the controller (each unit has a unique address). If
video is present, the problem is isolated to the scan assembly.
b. Video, But No Control 1. Make sure the controller is addressed to the correct scan
(camera).
2. Ensure the camera has been given an address. A JPD series
controller is used to setup the address. Note: You must know the
serial number of the dome to define the address.
3. JPD Series Controllers - Ensure LED or LCD display is lit on the
controller. Unplug the controller, wait 30 seconds, and plug it
back in.
4. Power down all system components for 15 seconds and then
return power. Allow scan to count down.
5. Make sure the data wiring is connected to the terminal strip on the
interface board. Make sure bare wires are not touching each
other. Make sure the wire insulation is stripped back far enough
for a good connection.
6. Make sure the connector from the top dome is plugged into the
RJ-45 connector (J1) on the interface board.
c. Scan operates by itself. 1. Diamond JPD Series Controller – recenter the joystick.
