62 en | Bubble Handling and Cleaning AutoDome 700 Series IP PTZ Camera

7 Bubble Handling and Cleaning

The bubble is made of Acrylic or Polycarbonate, depending on the application. Polycarbonate
bubbles provide high impact resistance, and it’s optical clarity is comparable to glass or
acrylic, although it’s surface is much softer. All bubbles require special care when handling
and cleaning to avoid scratches.

7.1 Handling

The bubble is packaged with a protective plastic sheet. It is recommended that the bubble
remain stored this way until it is ready to install. Limit handling the bubble, as any scratches
can quickly affect visibility.

7.2 Cleaning

If cleaning the bubble is required, use the following procedures and comply with all the
warnings listed below.

7.2.1 Cleaning the Bubble Interior

The extremely soft interior surface should not be cleaned by rubbing or dusting with a cloth.
Use clean dry compressed air, preferably from a spray can, to remove any dust from the
interior surface.

WARNING!

Do not use alcohol-based solutions to clean the bubble. This will cause the polycarbonate to
cloud and over time cause stress aging, which makes the bubble brittle.

To remove the bubble from a pendant housing:

1. Using both hands, apply a firm counterclockwise (looking up at the dome) rotational
force on the Pendant Bubble Assembly to set the bubble latch.

2. Insert a small (2 mm) straight blade screw driver into the release opening in the bubble
trim-ring to release the lock, and then remove the screwdriver.

Figure 7.1 Pendant Bubble Release Opening

3. Firmly rotate the bubble counterclockwise approximately 20 degrees until the bubble
assembly releases from the Pendant Housing.

F.01U.215.779 | 1.0 | 2011.07 Installation Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

AutoDome 700 Series IP PTZ Camera Bubble Handling and Cleaning | en 63

To remove the bubble from an in-ceiling housing

1. Loosen the lockscrew (item 1 in the illustration below) in the trim ring using a P1 or
smaller Phillips screwdriver until the bubble can rotate freely.

2. Then rotate the bubble counterclockwise approximately 1/4 turn until it releases from
the In-Ceiling Housing. See the figure below for an illustration.

Figure 7.2 Bubble Release Screw

7.2.2 Cleaning the Bubble Exterior

The exterior of the bubble is hard coated for extra protection. If cleaning becomes necessary,
only use cleaning solutions and cloths suitable for cleaning safety glass lenses. Dry the bubble
thoroughly with a dry nonabrasive cloth to prevent water spots. Never scrub the bubble with
any abrasive material or cleaners.

Do Not:

– Do Not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on the bubble.
– Do Not scrape the bubble with razor blades or other sharp instruments.
– Do Not use Benzene, Gasoline, Acetone, or Carbon Tetrachloride on the bubble.
– Do Not clean bubbles in the hot sun or on very hot days.
