If using a non-Bosch power supply:
– Check that the mains power to the power supply box is on.
If O.K., then:
– Check that there is 24 V output from the transformer.
– Check the connector on top of the AutoDome housing for bent pins.
If O.K., then:
– Check the integrity of all wires and terminal connections to the AutoDome.
If O.K., then:
If there is power to the AutoDome, then:

if an extra camera module is available.)
