SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
zBefore using the Xpress Dome, please ensure that you read and understand the
safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the Xpress Dome is
operated correctly.
zThe safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you
in the safe and correct operation of the Xpress Dome and its accessories to
prevent injuries or damage to the self, other persons and equipment.
zIn this Instruction Manual, the term “Speed Dome”, “equipment” and “device”
refers primarily to the Xpress Dome and its accessories such as power supply
and its remote controller.
WARNING
zDo not cover the ventilation opening or slots on the outer casing. To prevent the
Speed Dome from overheating, provide at least two inches of air space around
the vent and the slots.
zDo not drop metallic parts through slots. This could permanently damage the
Speed Dome. Immediately turn the Speed Dome’s power off or unplug the
power cord from the power outlet. Contact a qualified service personnel
authorized by the equipment distributor or a Vitek customer help desk.
zDo not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not
expressly described in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result in high
voltage electrical shock. Internal inspections, alterations and repairs should be
conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by the equipment distributor
or Vitek customer help desk.
zStop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the
Speed Dome’s power off, remove the power cable from the power outlet.
Confirm that smoke and fume emissions have ceased. Please consult the
Speed Dome distributor or the closest Vitek customer help desk.
zStop operating the equipment if a heavy object is dropped or the casing is
damaged. Do not strike or shake. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical
shock. Immediately turn the Speed Dome’s power off or unplug the power cord
from the power outlet. Please consult the Speed Dome distributor or the closest
Vitek customer help desk.
zDo not allow the equipment come into contact with, or become immersed in,
water or other liquids. Do not allow liquids to enter the interior. The Xpress
Dome has not been waterproofed. If the exterior comes into contact with liquids
or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. In the event that the water or
other foreign substances enter the interior, immediately turn the Speed Dome’s
Power off or unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Continued use of the

zDo not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable
substances to clean or maintain the equipment. The use of these substances
may lead to fire. Use a dry cloth on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the
dust and dirt that collects on the device. In dusty, humid or greasy environments,
the dust that collects around the ventilation or the slots on the outer casing over
long periods of time may become saturated with humidity and short-circuit,
leading to fire.
zDo not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord. Any of these
actions may cause an electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical
shock.
zDo not handle the device or power cord if the hands are wet. Handling it with
wet hands may lead to electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that
you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling on the flexible portion of the cord
may damage or expose the wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires or
electrical shocks.
zUse only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not
expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion
of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.

CAUTION
zAvoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight
or high temperatures, such as the greenhouse or trunk of a car. Exposure to
intense sunlight and heat may cause the battery to leak, overheat or explode,
resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause
deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the
equipment.
zDo not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas
could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
zDo not operate the Speed Dome beyond its specified temperature, humidity or
power source ratings. Do not use the Speed Dome in an extreme environment
such as in high temperature or high humidity. Use the device at temperatures
within 41°F - 104°F and humidity below 90 %. The normal operating power
source for this device is 24VDC/3amps or 24VAC/40VAC.
PREVENTING MALFUNCTION
zAvoid Strong Magnetic Fields. Never place the Speed Dome in close proximity
to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields.
Exposures to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image
data.
zAvoid Condensation Related Problems. Moving the equipment rapidly between
hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on
its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment
in an airtight, re-sealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes
slowly before removing it from the bag.
zIf Condensation forms inside the Speed Dome. Stop using the equipment
immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage the
equipment. Remove the power cord from the power outlet and wait until the
moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
