Oculus PRO Handbook Issue 3
Oculus PRO maintenance
The Oculus PRO 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 and replacements may also be purchased from our dealers.
The Oculus PRO 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 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 is shipped with additional filters which are easily changed by removing
the four panhead screws on the rear of the Oculus PRO, then removing the filter support ring. A new
filter can be put in place and the support ring refitted.
