Detailed Troubleshooting 
Use this procedure to determine if the problem is a 
simple cable connection or a major component. 
To perform this procedure, you must open the 
housing and eyeball assembly. Refer to 
“Disassembling the Dome” on page 27. 
CAUTION: 
·  DO NOT use this procedure if the dome 
functions but does not pan or tilt (see page 22). 
·  If routine troubleshooting did not solve the 
problem, the manufacturer strongly recom-
mends you ship the entire dome (including 
base, if an I/O board is used) to the National 
Service Center (NSC) for service. If you must 
perform detailed troubleshooting, use extreme 
care when disassembling parts! 
·  When shipping a base with I/O board back to 
the NSC, place the dust cover over the spring 
fingers to protect them. 
·  Delicate connector screws on I/O board. DO 
NOT over tighten them! Use a 2.5mm (0.1") 
slotted screwdriver. Wider blade widths can 
damage connectors. 
·  Dome contains electrostatic-sensitive PC 
boards. Use a ground strap when handling 
boards. 
Procedure 
1.  Match symptom to one of the following criteria: 
-  Dome functions but does not pan 
-  Dome functions but does not tilt 
-  Dome does not “home” or respond to 
commands even when attached to another 
dome’s base and its address switches are 
set correctly (dead dome). 
2.  Choose a, b, or c to determine if problem is a 
cable connection or major component. 
a.  Dome functions but does not pan. 
  On CPU board, is pan motor ribbon cable 
attached to connector P4 and is metal side 
of its fingers towards contacts of 
connector? 
YES  Replace CPU board. If this doesn’t work, 
replace pan motor. 
NO Connect cable(s). 
b.  Dome functions but does not tilt. 
  On camera/lens board, is tilt motor cable 
attached to connector J3? Is slip ring cable 
attached to connector J2? 
YES  Replace camera/lens board. If this 
doesn’t work, replace tilt motor. 
NO Connect cable(s). 
c.  Dome does not “home” or respond to 
commands (dead dome). 
  On CPU board, is power supply cable 
attached to connector P3? Is slip ring cable 
attached to connector P2? 
YES  Replace CPU board. If this doesn’t work, 
replace power supply board. 
NO Connect cable(s).
