2.6 Installation of the acrylic dome cover
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.
