Troubleshooting 
This section covers what to do when: 
•  Dome does not respond to commands 
•  Fans do not turn 
•  Picture is grainy or discolored 
• Poor video 
•  Ice forms on bubble. 
Dome Does Not Respond to Commands 
Follow steps until the problem is corrected. See 
page 5 to order parts. 
1.  Detach the camera dome from the base and 
check the address switches. Are they set 
correctly? 
- YES: Continue. 
-  NO: Set the correct address and reconnect 
the dome. 
2.  Verify power is reaching the housing. Press and 
hold switch SW2 on the environmental PC 
board and observe the green (ac power) LED. 
Does the LED glow steadily? 
-  YES: Reattach the dome and continue. 
-  NO: Check power at the J-box and ac cable 
connections at connector P7 on the other 
side of the environmental PC board. If OK, 
replace the PC board.
