specific directions on mounting the unit, see the manual that
came with your mount.
NOTICE! Do not expose to direct sunlight or bright spotlights in
operating and nonoperating conditions.
Avoid bright lights in the field of view of the camera. Bright
lights cause a "smearing" effect, which is visible as white lines
above and below the highlight. Prolonged exposure to bright
lights may cause bleaching of the sensor's color filters. This will
be visible as colored spots in the picture and is irreversible.
The image sensors in modern CCD cameras are highly sensitive
and require special care for proper performance and extended
lifetime. Follow the guidelines for optimum results with your
camera.

5.1 Description
This chapter details how to mount the AutoDome Easy II to a
wall. The AutoDome Easy II is also suitable for surface
(Section 4 Installing a Surface Mount, page 17), recess
(Section 6 Installing a Recessed Mount, page 29), and pipe
mounting (Section 7 Installing a Pipe Mount, page 37). For
specific directions on mounting the unit, see the manual that
came with your mount.
NOTICE! Do not expose to direct sunlight or bright spotlights in
operating and nonoperating conditions.
Avoid bright lights in the field of view of the camera. Bright
lights cause a "smearing" effect, which is visible as white lines
above and below the highlight. Prolonged exposure to bright
lights may cause bleaching of the sensor's color filters. This will
be visible as colored spots in the picture and is irreversible.
The image sensors in modern CCD cameras are highly sensitive
and require special care for proper performance and extended
lifetime. Follow the guidelines for optimum results with your
camera:

10 Getting Started
Once the installation is complete, the AutoDome Easy II can be
programmed. A typical system includes a keyboard, matrix
switcher, monitor, and appropriate wiring connections. Please
refer to the individual product manuals for complete installation
and setup instructions for each of the system components.
10.1 Powering On
When you turn the AutoDome Easy II power on there is a ten
(10) second pause before the dome starts its homing phase.
During the homing phase the camera pans left and right and
tilts up and down. It also adjusts the lens focus. The entire
homing phase lasts approximately 20 seconds and ends with a
splash screen.
WARNING!
Before powering the dome on, remove the clear protective
plastic sheet on top of the bubble.
10.2 Establishing AutoDome Easy II Control
The most common ways to interface with the AutoDome Easy II
are:
– Using a keyboard and on-screen display (OSD) menus. This
method is the most common and is covered in this manual
(see Section 8.5.2 Direct Control, page 46).
– Using the AutoDome Easy II Configuration Tool software
running on a PC with Bilinx communication protocol. Refer
to the CTFID User Guide for instructions.
– Using a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) such as the Bosch
Divar XF version 2.00 or higher.
