Oculus PRO Colour Handbook Issue 1
Oculus PRO Colour maintenance
The Oculus PRO Colour head is designed for a long and reliable lifespan and needs very little
maintenance to keep it in good working order. The only common issue is with dust and dirt particles
which collect on the dome and can shade areas of the image field. These are best removed with a
quick blast of compressed air from a ‘Dust off’ aerosol, or similar air blower. More permanent marks
may be removed with a drop of spectacle lens cleaner on a soft cloth. Try to avoid vigorous rubbing,
especially when removing gritty dirt, or you may scratch the plastic. A spare dome is supplied with
the Oculus PRO Colour and replacements may also be purchased from our dealers.
The Oculus PRO Colour dome is spaced off from the base ring by small pads. This allows air to
circulate through the vent holes and inside of the dome, to reduce the tendency for dew to
condense on the inner surface. Please ensure that these pads remain in place when removing the
dome for cleaning.
The fan at the rear of the Oculus PRO Colour provides a gradual flow of air from the outside of the
camera, across the built-in dew heaters and into the dome cavity. A paper air filter is fitted to the
fan to significantly reduce airborne particles from entering the camera but over time, this may
require changing. Your Oculus PRO Colour is shipped with additional filters which are easily changed
by removing the four panhead screws on the rear of the Oculus PRO Colour, then removing the filter
support ring. A new filter can be put in place and the support ring refitted.
