1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper handling, installation, and maintenance of the Hikvision Ball Machine Circuit Board Motherboard, model DS-21590 REV1.0 PCB 101205334. This component is designed as a replacement or core part for compatible Hikvision ball machines. Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding with any installation or service.
2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the functionality and longevity of the circuit board. Always ensure a static-free environment and handle the board by its edges to prevent damage.
2.1 Safety Precautions
- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Always wear an anti-static wrist strap and work on an anti-static mat when handling the circuit board. ESD can cause irreparable damage to electronic components.
- Power Disconnection: Ensure that the host device (ball machine) is completely powered off and disconnected from all power sources before beginning installation.
- Clean Environment: Work in a clean, dry, and well-lit area to prevent dust or debris from contaminating the board.
2.2 Physical Installation
- Carefully remove the existing circuit board from the ball machine, noting the orientation and connection points.
- Align the new DS-21590 REV1.0 PCB with the mounting points within the ball machine chassis.
- Secure the board using appropriate screws or fasteners, ensuring it is firmly seated but not overtightened.
- Connect all necessary cables (power, data, peripheral connectors) to their corresponding ports on the new circuit board. Refer to the ball machine's specific service manual for detailed wiring diagrams.
- Double-check all connections for proper seating and orientation.

3. Operating Principles
The DS-21590 REV1.0 PCB is a core motherboard component for Hikvision ball machines. It is not an end-user operable device but rather an integral part of the camera system's internal electronics. Its function is to process signals, manage power distribution, and facilitate communication between various camera modules (e.g., lens, motor, sensor, network interface). Once correctly installed, the board operates automatically as part of the ball machine's overall system when power is applied.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of the circuit board.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the board for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, loose connections, or overheating (discoloration).
- Cleaning: If dust accumulation is observed, gently clean the board using compressed air or a soft, anti-static brush. Do not use liquid cleaners unless specifically designed for electronics and applied sparingly. Ensure the board is completely dry before re-applying power.
- Environmental Control: Ensure the operating environment of the ball machine remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent component stress and moisture damage.
5. Troubleshooting
If the ball machine experiences issues after board replacement, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Verify all power connections are secure. Check the power supply unit of the ball machine.
- Intermittent Operation: Inspect all cable connections for looseness or damage. Ensure the board is securely mounted.
- System Errors: If the ball machine displays specific error codes, consult the ball machine's service manual for diagnostic information related to those codes.
- Component Damage: Visually inspect the board for any burnt components, swollen capacitors, or damaged traces. If found, the board may require replacement.
For complex issues or if basic troubleshooting does not resolve the problem, it is recommended to contact qualified technical support.
