Maintenance 

The SVFT-PRS Camera Dome requires no scheduled maintenance except for the occasional cleaning of the 
lower dome. 

Care and Cleaning of Clear Polycarbonate Domes  

1.  Always handle the lower dome by the flange and avoid touching the inside surface. 
 
2.  If dust or dirt accumulates in the lower dome's interior, remove it with clean dry pressurized air. 
 
3.  If spots, streaks or stains appear on the exterior, they can be removed with a solution of mild soap or 

isopropyl alcohol and water using a lint-free soft paper towel. Dry with clean, dry pressurized air. 

 
4.  Scratches or surface blemishes on the exterior may be removed with a nonabrasive wax using a soft 

cleaning cloth. 

Caution: Excessive rubbing of the lower dome surface can cause permanent scratches. 

5.  Clean all surfaces with any soft cleaning cloth and a mild glass cleanser suitable for polycarbonate 

plastic. 

Fuse Replacement 

Two fuses (F1 and F2) are located on the Communication/Power Supply Board of the camera/drive. When 
necessary, replace them with the following fuse values: 
 
F1: 5 x 20 mm, 1.6 amp, 250 volt, slo-blo 
F2: 5 x 20 mm, 2.5 amp, 250 volt, slo-blo 
 

Note: Refer to the SurveyorVFT Installation & Operation Manual XX134 for camera drive maintenance.
