About the Camera Dome
The SpeedDome Ultra
®
camera dome (Figure 1)
mounts indoors or outdoors, and can communicate
with the video controller over SensorNet or RS422
communication lines. The dome consists of a
mounting base, and a housing and rotating eyeball
assembly.
Note:
Outdoor installation and service instructions
are not included in this document. For these
instructions, see

Housing
, 8000-2573-04.
Mounting Base
The mounting 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 RUPTB standard base and a
RUIOB base with I/O board.
RUPTB Standard Base.
With this base,
composite and video cables are inserted
through the base and attached to the top of the
housing and eyeball assembly, then the
assembly is connected to the base. A coiled
safety lanyard connects between the base and
the housing and eyeball assembly to prevent
the acceidental pulling of cables during
disassembly.
RUIOB Base with I/O Board.
With this base,
composite and video cables are pre-connected
to the I/O PC board. A round spring-finger
connector on the board makes electrical
contact with the housing and eyeball assembly
as it is connected.
Housing and Eyeball Assembly
The housing and eyeball assembly (Figure 2) con-
nects to the base using a twist and lock action.
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
standard base, or four alarm inputs and four
alarm outputs using the base with I/O board.
Eyeball.
Gloss black and 120mm (4.75") in
diameter, the eyeball contains the camera, a tilt
motor, and associated electronics. The eyeball
can pan and tilt to track a target moving in any
direction even as it moves under the dome.
Two slot covers are part of the eyeball. These
covers facilitate access to the camera and
incorporate a camouflaged lens. Discard these
covers to improve ventilation when the dome is
to be used outdoors.
As shown in Table 1, the housing and eyeball
assembly can be ordered:
With no base for existing indoor installations or
for mounting outdoors
With a standard base or base with I/O board for
new indoor installations
With one of four CCD cameras
