*  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 environ-
mental 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 
The camera dome and housing are to be 
connected to a Class 2 LPS, 24Vac, 80VA power 
source. Do not exceed the maximum outdoor Class 
2 ratings of 30Vac, 100VA.

Appendix B: 
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 9 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.

CAUTION: Use a 2.5mm (0.1in) slotted 
screwdriver. Using a blade too wide can 
damage connectors. 
CAUTION: Screws on the ac connector 
are delicate. DO NOT over tighten them!
