INDOOR DOME INSTALLATION
SPEEDDOME ULTRA
2-22
Using the Install/Removal Tool
The RHIRT install/removal tool eliminates the need
for a ladder during routine service. The tool can be
used to:
•
Detach the skirt or bubble from the housing so
the dome can be accessed. The skirt or bubble
remain attached to the housing during service.
•
Attach and detach the dome from its base.
•
Reattach the 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
insert of the tool. If this pole cannot be obtained locally,
contact the following manufacturer:

Procedure
Referring to Figure 2-25, insert the tool into the top
of the pole and maneuver until it snaps in place.
TO ATTACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:
Use the tool to
push up on the bubble and to secure it in place.
Lower the pole.
TO DETACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:
Lifting the pole
up at an angle, use one of the hooks on the tool to
catch one of the notches at the side of the housing
and pull down. The T-lanyard will prevent the skirt
or bubble from falling.
TO ATTACH DOME:
1. Insert the tool into the top of the pole and
maneuver until it snaps in place.
2. Insert the dome “eyeball down” into the
tool’s receptacle.
Fins on the housing mate with slots in the tool. Use
these fins to properly align the logo (target) at the top
of the housing with the label on the tool.
3. Align label on the tool with the logo (target)
on the base. Push the dome up into place.
4. Turn the dome clockwise until it clicks.
If power is applied, the dome should begin its
“homing” routine.
5. Lower the pole.
TO DETACH DOME:
1. Raise the pole and insert the dome “eyeball
down” into the tool’s receptacle.
Fins on the housing mate with slots in the tool.
2. Turn the dome counterclockwise until it
unlocks.
3. Lower the pole “vertically” (See following
CAUTION).
KEEP THE POLE VERTICAL!
Turning
the pole horizontally as you lower it can
cause the camera dome to fall out of
the tool and possibly break on the floor.
4. Remove the dome for service.
