2.6 Installation of the acrylic dome cover
NOTE: The dome is shipped with a protective clear film around the clear bubble. This film
should remain in place until you finished with the installation protecting the dome from
scratches.
The dome cover has two parts, a metal aluminum ring and a clear acrylic dome. The metal ring has
male fine threads that will allow it to mate with the aluminum cover of the dome mechanism.
Caution
should be exercised when handling the clear dome preventing any abrasions or scratches to
the surface as this will affect the optical performance of the camera.
Step 1
:
Carefully align the two parts as illustrated in
Figure 17. Slowly rotate counterclockwise
until a small click is felt indicating the
beginning of the threads.
Step 2
:
Slowly start rotating the bottom part (clear
acrylic) in a clockwise direction without
forcing the threads as illustrated in
Figure 18. It takes approximately three
(3) complete rotations to have a
complete seal.
Step 3
:
The dome arrives with a protective film.
The illustrations above are shown for
clarity without the film in place.
When finished with the installation
remove the plastic protective film
avoiding any contact if possible
with the lens. Should you need to
clean it use only lens cleaning
solution and a soft non abrasive
cloth.
