This guide explains how to connect the camera dome to a mounting base and how to service it. It does not explain how to:
- Determine a mounting location for the camera dome. The mounting location is determined by customer requirements; therefore, this information is provided separately.
- Attach the mounting base. There are two types of mounting bases. See information shipped with the base.
- Assemble housings and structures used with this dome. See information shipped with the housing and structure.
- Program the dome. See operator's guide shipped with the dome.
About the Camera Dome
The Speed Dome Ultra VI camera dome comes in black or white finish (to blend into surrounding areas), mounts indoors or outdoors, and can communicate with the video controller over a SensorNet 485, RS-422, or Manchester network. The dome consists of a mounting base, and a housing and rotating eyeball assembly.
Mounting Base
The housing and eyeball assembly connects to the base using a twist and lock action, enabling it to be moved easily from one location to another. The base attaches directly to a hard or tile ceiling, or indirectly to walls or ceilings using one of many optional housings and mounting structures. Two base types are offered: a standard base and a base with I/O board.
- Standard Base: With this base, video, data, and power cables are inserted through the base and attached to the top of the housing and eyeball assembly, which is then connected to the base. A lanyard connects between the base and the housing and eyeball assembly to prevent cables from being pulled during disassembly. The base comes in black (RUPTB) or white (RUWPTB).
- Base with I/O Board: With this base, video, data, and power cables are pre-connected to an I/O PC board. A spring-finger connector on the board makes electrical contact with the housing and eyeball assembly as it connects to the base. The base comes in black (RUIOB) or white (RUWIOB).
Housing and Eyeball Assembly
The housing and eyeball assembly consists of the following:
- 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: With a diameter of 120mm (4.75"), the eyeball contains a camera, tilt motor, and associated electronics. The eyeball enables the camera to pan and tilt to track a target moving in any direction even as it moves under the dome. Two slot covers in the eyeball facilitate access to the camera, one of which incorporates an opening for the camera lens. Remove both covers to improve ventilation when the dome is to be used outdoors.
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 two CCD cameras: Color NTSC (for black or white domes) or Color PAL (for black domes only).
Each camera has 23X optical zoom with continuous auto focus and back light compensation. Electronic zoom provides selectable magnification up to 184X.

* Option in white, but can be painted to match decor.
† Top hat housing/dome assembly also mounts to structure.
Outdoor Mounting (Optional)
Note: This document does not include outdoor installation and service instructions. For these instructions, see Installing the RHODUL Outdoor Housing, 8000-2573-04.
The camera dome attaches to outdoor walls and ceilings using an RHODUL outdoor housing and one of the following optional mounting structures:
- RHOTR: Over Roof Mount
- RHOTRF: Over Roof Floor Mount
- RHOPN: Pendant Mount
- RHOWPA: Pole Mount

The outdoor housing contains a pre-installed mounting base, a cooling fan for hot weather, a heater for cool weather and to prevent icing, and surge protection circuitry to protect against lightning strikes. An environmental PC board is used to pre-wire cables. A round spring-finger connector on the board makes electrical contact with the housing and eyeball assembly as it connects to the base.
Note: Do not use the I/O board (designed for indoor use) in place of the environmental board.
SpeedDome Housing Adapter Bracket (Optional)
An RHSDA adapter bracket enables the dome to fit into SpeedDome indoor and outdoor housings. Locking pins in the bracket enable the dome to swing out for servicing or removal.
Data Cable Requirements
Table 2 shows the data cable requirements for SensorNet, RS-422, and Manchester networks. For more information about communication protocols and cable networks, see Communication Protocols and Cable Networks, 8000-2573-19.
Cable type | SensorNet | RS-422 | Manchester |
---|---|---|---|
1 unshielded, twisted pair* | 2 shielded, twisted pair** | 1 shielded, twisted pair* | |
Wire gauge | 22 AWG | 22 AWG | 18 AWG |
Connection | Non-polarized | Polarized | Polarized |
Max. devices on line | 32 | 10 | 3 |
* 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 environmental 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.
Install/Removal Tool for Base with I/O Board
The install/removal tool (Figure 9) enables you to connect or disconnect the housing and eyeball assembly from the base with I/O board, and to attach/detach skirts and bubbles to a top hat housing, without the need for a ladder. The tool attaches to a telescopic pole (purchased separately). See page 20.
CAUTION: Do not use this tool to connect the dome to the standard base.
Power-Up Routine
After power is connected to the dome, the dome performs the following homing routine:
- After a few seconds, the camera lens tilts up into the housing and eyeball assembly.
- The lens tilts down until it looks at the floor.
- Eyeball pans slowly.
- Lens tilts up 90° (home position).
Once the lens is in its home position, you can then use the controller to call up the camera and control it.
Synchronizing Domes
To prevent picture rolling when switching from camera to camera, all domes can be synchronized to a 50Hz or 60Hz ac source. A V-phase adjustment at the control console enables the dome to sync to any line phase.
Diagnostic LEDs
If a standard base is used, LEDs in the housing and eyeball assembly enable you to check for power and data. If a base with I/O board is used, LEDs on the underside of the mounting base enable you to check for power and data. If an RS-422 network is used, other LEDs on the board indicate that wiring is correct, reversed, open, or grounded.

- Check LEDs to verify that power and data are reaching dome (Figure 13). LEDs CR2, CR3, and CR4 surround video connection and are visible through opening. LEDs light in the following order:
- To test Manchester network:
- Yellow CR4 LED glows steadily indicating communication between controller and dome, or glows steadily, turns off, and then blinks. (Note: CR4 only blinks when both Manchester wires are connected. Green CR2 LED is not used to test Manchester.)
- Red CR3 LED blinks slowly indicating that dome software is operating.
- To test SensorNet or RS-422 network:
- Green CR2 LED blinks indicating data present.
- Yellow CR4 LED glows steadily indicating communication between controller and dome (RS-422), or glows steadily, turns off, and then blinks (SensorNet).
- Red CR3 LED blinks slowly indicating that dome software is operating.
Note: To check RS-422 connections, set dome address switch SW3 to 9 and check red and green LEDs. Red should be off, green should blink. If red blinks, RS-422 is wired backwards. If red and green are off, then RS-422 communication is absent. When done with this test, set switch SW3 back to 0 and reset dome from controller.
Connecting to a Mounting Base with I/O Board
This procedure explains how to connect the housing and eyeball assembly to a mounting base with I/O board.

Using the Install/Removal Tool
CAUTION: Do not use this tool to connect the dome to the standard base.
Used only when the dome is connected to a base having an I/O board, the RHIRT install/removal tool eliminates the need for a ladder during routine service. The tool can be used to:
- Detach skirt or bubble from housing, if used. Skirt or bubble remain attached to the housing during service.
- Connect/Disconnect dome from base with I/O board.
- Reattach skirt or bubble.
Telescopic Pole Required to Use Tool
The tool attaches to a telescopic pole similar to the type used to clean swimming pools. The pole should be 5 feet, 5 inches to 15 feet, 5 inches long and have a 1.170-inch inside diameter to accept the 1.125 inch diameter stem of the tool. If this pole cannot be obtained locally, contact the following manufacturer: Recreational Water Products, 627 E. College Ave., Decatur, GA 33030. Ask for product code 08140, UPC: 0-14746-58140-2.
Procedure
Referring to Figure 19, maneuver the stem of the tool into the top of the pole until it snaps in place.
TO CONNECT DOME:
- Insert dome "eyeball down" into tool's receptacle. Fins on dome mate with slots in tool. Use fins to properly align dimple at top of dome with label on tool.
- Align label on tool with logo on I/O board in base. Push dome up into place.
- Turn dome clockwise until it clicks.
- If power is applied, dome should begin its "homing" routine.
- Lower pole.
TO DISCONNECT DOME:
- Raise pole and insert dome "eyeball down" into tool's receptacle.
- Fins on dome mate with slots in tool.
- Turn dome counterclockwise until it unlocks.
- Lower pole "vertically" to prevent camera dome from falling out. CAUTION: Turning pole horizontally as it is lowered can cause camera dome to fall out of tool and possibly break on floor.
- Remove dome for service.
TO ATTACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:
Use tool to push up on bubble and to secure it in place. Magnets secure the bubble. Lower pole.
TO DETACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:
Lifting pole up at an angle, use one of the hooks on tool to catch one of the notches at side of dome and pull down. T-lanyard will prevent skirt or bubble from falling.
Troubleshooting Indoor Domes
CAUTION: This troubleshooting section is for indoor camera domes only! To troubleshoot outdoor domes, see installation and service manual shipped with the outdoor housing.
This chapter contains information on:
- Routine troubleshooting
- Detailed troubleshooting
- Disassembling the dome.
IMPORTANT!
- Try routine troubleshooting first! Use this procedure to isolate the problem without disassembling the housing and eyeball assembly (the base with the I/O board is field repairable).
- If you cannot isolate the problem, or the dome functions but does not pan or tilt, ship the dome to the Global Service Center (GSC). The manufacturer suggests that you ship the entire dome (with base, if it contains an I/O board) to the GSC. For repair authorization, call: 1-800-543-9740 (CES), 1-800-442-2225 (Dealers), 1-800-241-6678 (End Users).
- If you have no choice but to repair the housing and eyeball assembly, follow the detailed troubleshooting procedure, but use extreme care. CAUTION: Once disassembled, parts of the housing and eyeball assembly are "extremely fragile" and may break. Proceed using extreme care!
Items You Will Need
You should have on hand the following items:
- Phillips-head screwdriver
- Small slotted screwdriver
- 2.5mm (0.1") slotted screwdriver (for wire connections). Wider blade widths can damage connectors.
- Socket wrench with 5" extension and 5.5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm sockets
- 14-18 AWG and 20-22 AWG wire strippers
- Install/Removal tool to connect/disconnect dome to indoor bases with I/O boards, and to attach/detach skirts and bubbles-without a ladder.
Routine Troubleshooting
Use this procedure if:
- Dome does not respond to commands
- Dome does not produce video
- Quality of the video is poor
- Dome has no lens control.
CAUTION:
- DO NOT use this procedure if the dome functions but does not pan or tilt (see page 22).
- If an I/O board is used, use a ground strap when handling the board.
- When shipping a base having an I/O board to the manufacturer, place the dust cover over the spring finger connector to protect it.
- DO NOT over tighten connector screws on the I/O board; they are delicate. Use a 2.5mm (0.1") slotted screwdriver. Wider blade widths can damage connectors.
Procedure
Follow steps until the problem is corrected.
- Check video on monitor (a, b, or c).
- No video? Go to step 2.
- Contrast or color off? YES: Ship entire dome (base included, if it contains an I/O board) back to the GSC. Place dust cover over spring finger connector on I/O board. NO: Go to step 2.
- Video rolls when switching between monitors? YES: Use video controller or switcher to synchronize video vertical sync phases of all domes to ac line. For specific instructions, see installation and service manual for controller or switcher. NO: Go to step 2.
- Check ac power and video connections at J-box. Are 24Vac and/or video signal absent? YES: Correct problem at J-box. NO: Go to step 3.
- Detach dome from base and examine address switches. Are they set correctly? YES: If dome still doesn't respond, ship entire dome (base included, if it contains an I/O board) to the GSC. If you must repair the dome, see "Detailed Troubleshooting", next. NO: Set correct address and reattach housing and eyeball assembly.
- Isolate problem to housing and eyeball assembly or base by attaching dome to another base with I/O board. Does dome display video or respond to commands? YES: Problem is likely cable connections or I/O board if used. Go to step 5. NO: Ship dome and base to GSC. Place dust cover over spring finger connector on I/O board.
- Verify coaxial video cable is securely connected to coax of I/O board (Figure 20). Is cable disconnected? YES: Connect cable. NO: Go to step 6.
Steps 4-9 are only for bases with I/O boards!
If the mounting base DOES NOT contain an I/O board, stop here and ship the housing and eyeball assembly to the GSC. See "IMPORTANT!" on page 20 for phone numbers.
- Observe green power LED on I/O board (Figure 21). Is green LED off or not on steady? YES: Verify 24Vac cable is properly attached. If OK, replace I/O board or ship entire dome to the GSC. NO: Go to step 7.
- Observe yellow communication LED on I/O board (Figure 21). Is yellow LED flashing? YES: Go to step 8. NO: Verify cable is properly attached by referring to table in step 9, page 18. If OK, replace I/O board or ship dome and base to GSC.
- If using RS-422 network and an I/O board is used, check comm. line connections by pressing and holding data test switch SW1 (Figure 21) and observing nearby red and green LEDs. These LEDs indicate the following:
LED Status | Indication |
---|---|
Constant green, Blinking red | Comm. line correctly wired. |
Constant green, No red | RS-422 "Data In -" shorted to ground. |
Constant red, Blinking green | "Data In +/ -" wires reversed. |
Blinking red, Green off | "Data In +" shorted to ground. |
Both LEDs off | "Data In +/ -" wires shorted or open. |
- Check spring finger connector on I/O board by connecting housing and eyeball assembly to original base to verify contact between spring fingers and CPU board (under cap). Does dome produce video and respond to commands? YES: Spring fingers may not have seated properly. Reconnect housing and eyeball assembly. NO: Replace I/O board.
If routine troubleshooting did not solve the problem, the manufacturer strongly recommends you ship the entire dome (including base, if an I/O board is used) to the Global Service Center (GSC) for service. See page 22 for phone numbers.
If you must perform detailed troubleshooting, use extreme care when disassembling parts! See "Detailed Troubleshooting," next.
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 recommends you ship the entire dome (including base, if an I/O board is used) to the Global Service Center (GSC) 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 GSC, 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
- 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).
