Installation Manual

Product

CyberDome II ™ is a line of advanced pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras. In addition to powerful cameras,
CyberDome II features a graphical programming interface for easier customization of camera settings, and
passcodes for protection against unauthorized access.

The CyberDome II supports many protocols to work with various keypad controllers, digital video recorders,
and other video surveillance equipment. (See Setting the protocol on page 27 for a list of supported protocols.)

Installation of the CyberDome II line of domes is simplified because all power, data, video, and alarm
connections are provided in the housing. Configuration parameters such as presets and tours unique to each
installation site are stored in the housing memory. This allows you to replace cameras or move them between
housings without having to reprogram them for each new site. As you install the first dome, you will find many
other enhancements that make installation easier and quicker.

The general steps for installing your dome include:

• preparing the mounting surface and installing the mount (if used) and housing;

• preparing the cables and wiring the housing;

• addressing the camera site, setting the protocol, and setting the termination;

• installing the PTZ camera assembly; and

• installing the dome.

Be aware that the power requirements for CyberDome and CyberDome II are different. See Power

requirements on page 5 and Cable management on page 5.

overview

Product contents

The CyberDome II consists of the following:

• Housing.

• Package containing three connectors (one 2-pin for power; one 6-pin for UTP, auxiliary data, and
RS-485; one 14-pin for alarms and contacts) and a small screwdriver. (The Select version of
CyberDome II has two connectors: a 2-pin connector for power and a 2-pin connector for RS-485
data.)

• PTZ camera assembly.

• Dome (mirror domes are shipped with cotton gloves for special handling).

• Mount (wall-mount and flush-mount versions only).

• Installation and user manuals.

You may receive the package contents in one large carton containing three boxes (four with wall-mount
versions), or if shipped individually, you may receive three (or four) separate boxes. One box will contain the
housing, connectors, and manuals. The PTZ assembly, dome, and mount (for wall-mount versions) are each

Introduction

System requirements

For proper operation, adhere to the following operational, load, cable, and power requirements for
CyberDome II domes.

Operational requirements

CyberDome II contains a built-in receiver that decodes commands originating from a compatible controlling
device, such as a keypad or ASCII control software. A minimum of one controlling device is required for
operation, as shown in Figure 1. In this typical DVR system, an operator can pan, tilt, and zoom the camera,
find presets, and start preset and ShadowTours from the keypad.

Chapter 1

Introduction

Power requirements

Every CyberDome II dome requires a 24 VAC power supply to operate the PTZ, camera, and heater/fan, if
present. The startup and running power requirements vary depending on the model (Table 2).

Table 2. Power requirements at 24 VAC (±4 VAC) operating voltage

Dome with fan 25VA 20VA 40VA

Dome with 12 W heater/fan (×2) 93 VA 45 VA 56 VA

Rugged and HD dome with 23 W heater/fan (×2) 153 VA 66 VA 100 VA

CAUTION: Use only a Class 2 power supply of the required output rating as listed on individual units and specified.

Cable management

Follow all local codes for cable management. As a general rule, you can fill a cable conduit to a maximum of
60% of its capacity. You must maintain 40% free space. A variety of factors will determine how many cables
you can run into the dome. Capacity limitations include:

5

• number of cables

• size of the cables

• use of single-conductor or multiple-conductor cable

• use of a junction box

Figure 4 provides an illustration of the cable capacity of three typical applications. It is important to note that
all cables of the same gauge are not of the same diameter. Manufacturer, shielding, and rating affect the actual

diameter of cables of the same gauge. GE leaves the selection of the appropriate cable to the discretion of the
installer who is working with the local codes of the installation site.

Backward compatibility with CyberDome I housings

The CyberDome II PTZ is compatible with CyberDome I housings, but there are some exceptions. Although
the onscreen display (OSD) interface, including menus, will show the CyberDome II design, not all of the
CyberDome II features are supported on CyberDome I housings. The following features are not available:

• Site-tied memory

• Internal alarms

• Internal relays

• Internal wiring terminal blocks

• Advanced heater and fan system

• Lift and gain functionality.

• Up-the-coax (UTC) protocol support

Also, if you install a CyberDome II PTZ in an older CyberDome I housing, you must install a fan assembly on
the tilt arm of the PTZ. (See Fan installation on page 16 for instructions.) You may use the fan from your
CyberDome I PTZ, or call Customer Service (see Contacting us on page 38) to order a new one (part number
10556789A).

Various mounting and housing styles

There are three basic mounting styles: pendant, wall, and flush. A pendant-mount lowers a dome from a
ceiling, a wall-mount extends a dome from a wall, and a flush-mount raises a dome’s dome even with a ceiling.
See Figure 5. This document provides the instructions for all mounting styles.

Figure 5. Basic mounting styles

Pendant-mount Wall-mount Flush-mount

There are four basic housing styles: flush-mount, plastic pendant-mount, cast aluminum pendant-mount, and
heavy-duty (Figure 6). Installation is generally the same for all housing styles. There are some differences,
such as how the dome rings attach to the housings (Figure 27 on page 33). Where differences exist, the
instructions will specify.

Chapter 2

Pendant-mount housings

Pendant-mount and flush-mount housings require different preparation of the mounting surface and different
installation procedures of the housings. Follow the instructions given here for pendant-mount housings.

Pendant-mount housings can be mounted to a pipe to lower them from a ceiling or to a wall-mount arm to
extend them from a wall. Instructions are provided in this document for both mounting methods.

Preparing the surface for pendant-mounts

Following are the steps for preparing the mounting surface if you are mounting the housing to a pipe. If you are
mounting the housing to the GEA-102 wall-mount arm, instructions for installing the GEA-102 are available in
this manual (Installing the wall-mount arm on page 40). If you are installing one of the other mounts, refer to
the instructions that came with the mount.

CAUTION: For all installations, heed these cautions:

• Complete all installation steps before supplying power to the dome.

• To ensure proper operation of a PTZ unit, install the mount level.

• For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome
must support the weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental
vibration according to local codes. See Table 1 on page 4.

11

To prepare the mounting surface:

1. Following all local codes, install the pipe.

2. Make sure that the facility cables (data, video, and power) for the dome comply with the
recommendations provided in Cable requirements on page 6.

3. Feed the facility cables through the pipe in the mounting surface.

• Pull enough cable to make connections. You can always pull back unneeded length later.

• How many cables you have depends upon how many video, data, and power cables. See Wirin g on

page 19.

Installing the housing

With the pipe or mount now installed, install the housing.

If you are installing the housing outdoors and onto a pipe, you must install the rubber water-sealing boot that
provides an additional layer of water protection. Applying PTFE thread sealing tape (for example, Teflon
tape) to the pipe is required as a first layer of protection.

CAUTION: Avoid getting rain or moisture in the housing so that the electronic components on the PCBs are

not damaged.

To install the housing to a pipe or mount, see Figure 11 on page 12 and do the following:

®

1. If you are installing the housing outdoors and onto a pipe:

CyberDome II

Installation Manual

a. Spray the pipe with soapy water.

b. For outdoor applications, slide the rubber boot onto the pipe, above the threads.

c. Wrap the pipe threads with the supplied PTFE thread sealing tape in the direction that the dome

will screw onto the pipe. Overlap the tape and cover the threads.

2. Hold the housing up near the pipe or mount. If you installed the GEA-102 wall-mount arm, make sure
that the safety chain is securely attached (GEA-102 wall-mount arm on page 40).

3. Feed the facility cables through the dust seal in the top of the housing. Allow enough cable length to
make connections. Figure 8 on page 9 shows how the cables run through the housing.

CAUTION: For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must support the

weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental vibration according to local codes.
See Table 1 on page 4.

4. Attach the housing to the pipe or mount.Slide the rubber boot down the pipe and fit it securely over the
housing’s flange.

• For pipe installations, thread the housing onto the pipe. If necessary, first turn the housing

counterclockwise to compensate for the cable twisting.

Note: Do not overtighten the plastic housing on the pipe mounting or the housing will crack and leak.

• For wall-mount installations, use the fasteners that were provided with the mount.

Flush-mount housings

Flush-mount and pendant-mount housings require different preparation of the mounting surface and different
installation procedures of the housings. Follow the instructions given here for flush-mount housings.

CAUTION: The flush-mount housing is for indoor applications only. Do not expose it to moisture, or the unit may become

damaged.

Preparing the surface for flush-mounts

Following are the steps for preparing the mounting surface if you are mounting the housing directly into a solid
surface that does not require reinforcement. If the mounting surface does require reinforcement, first install a
GEA-113 T-bar ceiling panel or a GEA-114 T-bar support kit. Instructions for installing the GEA-114 are
available in this manual (GEA-114 T-bar ceiling support kit on page 45). If you are installing a GEA-113, refer
to the instructions that came with the panel (1052914).

CAUTION: For all installations, heed these cautions:

13

• Complete all installation steps before supplying power to the dome.

• To ensure proper operation of a PTZ unit, install the mount level.

• For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome
must support the weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental
vibration according to local codes. See Table 1 on page 4.

To prepare the mounting surface, see Figure 12 and do the following:

1. Mark the position and size of the housing passthrough hole on the mounting surface. The size of the
cutout for the passthrough must be 8-3/8 to 8-7/16 in. (21.27 to 21.42 cm).

2. Following all local codes, cut the housing passthrough hole.

3. Make sure that the facility cables (data, video, and power) for the dome comply with the
recommendations provided in Power requirements on page 5.

4. Feed the facility cables through the housing passthrough hole in the mounting surface.

• Pull enough cable to make connections. You can always cut off unneeded length later.

• How many cables you have depends upon how many video, data, and power cables you are using.

See Wir ing on page 19.

Preparing the cables

Your environment’s video cabling (coaxial or UTP) and the number of video, data, and power cables you will
be using will dictate the types and quantities of cables you need to prepare.

To prepare the facility camera cables, terminate the cable ends as shown in Figure 16. Allow approximately
3 in. (76 mm) of cable for making connections.

Figure 16. Prepared cables

24 VAC power: Strip ends of twisted-pair cables

CyberDome II has two multiposition DIP switch blocks: one on the upper board and one on the main board of
the camera assembly (Figure 23). These DIP switches set the communication protocol and assign the camera a
site address number respectively.

Figure 23. Protocol and site address DIP switch blocks

Protocol DIP switch block

Chapter 4

Setting the protocol

CyberDome II can use different protocols for communication. To select a protocol, you must set the protocol
DIP switches to the correct sequence of 1s (on) and 0s (off).

To set the protocol DIP switches to select a protocol, do the following:

1. Locate the protocol DIP switch block (Figure 23 on page 26).

2. Using Ta bl e 6 , find the DIP switch sequence for the desired protocol and set the switches accordingly.

CyberDome II stores programming settings in NVRAM in both the housing and the PTZ module. If the
protocol switches are not set to one of the copy settings (01111 or 11111) and the two memories are different,
Memory flashes onscreen. When you first log onto the menu system, you will be asked which settings you
would like to use. For more information on protocol functionality with the CyberDome II camera, see

Shroud and bubble dome installation

A camera shroud obscures camera orientation so subjects can’t be certain which direction the camera is
pointing. We also offer several types of camera bubbles—from transparent to smoke and one-way reflective
surfaces—to protect the camera and further hide the camera’s operation.

For flush-mount housings, install the PTZ assembly in the housing before attaching the shroud. For other
housings, it is easier to attach the shroud after the PTZ assembly is installed, but it is not required.

Camera assembly, shroud, dome

Installing a camera shroud

To install a camera shroud, see Figure 26 and do the following:

1. Slide the camera guide into the two slots in the shroud and make sure the camera can tilt without being
limited or blocked.

2. Using the provided screw, attach the shroud to the camera (5 in-lb. torque).

3. Install or reattach the dome onto the housing.

4. Test the camera’s pan and tilt movements to make sure the shroud does not impede operation or block
the camera’s view. If you have a protocol error or a video blackout, see Troubleshooting on page 36.

Installation Manual

Installing a dome

There are a variety of domes and housings. The interlocking clips and safety cables may vary, but all domes
have them.

CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not touch the dome with your bare hands, do not place the dome face down on any

surface, and protect the dome from dust. Oil and acid residue from your hands can etch some dome surfaces and is
difficult to remove. Use a scratch-resistant cloth or gloves when handling the dome.

To attach a dome to the housing, see Figure 27 on page 33 and do the following:

1. Fasten the dome safety cable to the housing’s safety clip.

2. Swing the dome up to the housing and align the dome’s screws with the housing’s dome screw holes.

If you are installing a plastic pendant-mount housing, there are alignment guides on the housing ring
that straddle the rear-facing screw hole of the dome ring.

3. Use the following guidelines for tightening the dome screws.

• If you are installing a plastic pendant-mount or flush-mount housing, the dome screws are self-

locking, quarter-turn captive screws and require only a quarter turn to tighten.

CAUTION: Do not use a power drill with the self-locking, quarter-turn captive screws. A power drill can strip the heads of

the screws or the inside of the screw inserts (in the housing) enough to necessitate replacing the housing.

• If you are installing a flush-mount housing, the dome ring contains a foam pad that requires you to

push up while turning the screws.

• If you are installing the dome on a rugged vandal-resistant housing, the screws are tamper-resistant

and require the provided security torx-pinned bit for tightening. Do not tighten these screws to
more than 17 lb. inches (192 cNm) in torque.

4. Clean any fingerprints off of the dome. See Cleaning the dome on page 37.

Troubleshooting

This section provides information to help you diagnose and solve various problems that may arise while
configuring or using your GE product.)

Housing board power indication

When power is received by the housing board through the power connection, the housing board diagnostic
LED appears orange (Figure 28). It appears orange because the red and green internal LEDs both illuminate.
The housing board power LED is located on the PC board that is attached to the underside of the upper bracket.
It can be seen before the camera assembly is installed.

Figure 28. Housing board power indication

Power LED 2

Power LED 1

(see Table 5 on
page 21)

Common installation issues

Following are the most common troubleshooting issues and their solutions.

• The dome is resetting during power-up, not powering up at all, or powering up but not operating as
expected.

Verify that you are supplying sufficient power for your model of dome. See Tabl e 2 on page 5.

• Video is not appearing on the monitor screen.

If the dome is not powered or the programming is not running properly, remove and reinstall the camera
assembly. See Camera assembly, shroud, dome on page 25.

If the video still does not appear, then check the video cable and verify that it is properly connected. For
UTP video, ensure that the + and - ends of the cable are correctly connected to maintain the polar
sensitivity of the UTP video cable. See Wiring the housing board on page 22.

• Either there is video, but no PTZ control, or Protocol flashes on the screen.

First, verify the address of the dome. You can do this easily by pressing and holding the view key on the
KTD-405 keypad. If the PTZ is receiving commands from the keypad, the dome’s information will be
displayed on the monitor screen. If necessary, correct the address and/or protocol using the procedure in
Setting the protocol on page 27. If you still don’t have control of the PTZ, verify that the data cable is
properly connected. See Wiring the housing board on page 22.

Finally, try resetting (cycling) the power to the dome by turning the power off then on.

Troubleshooting, maintenance, support

Chapter 5

Maintenance

Perform the following maintenance, when necessary or directed to.

Cleaning the dome

Use the following procedures for cleaning the dome. Be aware that the interior of the dome requires extra care
in cleaning. Use only the procedures provided below.

CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not touch the dome with your bare hands, do not place the dome face down on any

surface, and protect the dome from dust. Oil and acid from your hands can etch some dome surfaces and are difficult
to remove. Use a scratch-resistant cloth or gloves when handling the dome. Failure to comply may void your warranty.

Cleaning the exterior of the dome

To clean the exterior of the dome:

37

CAUTION: Before using any cleaning agent, test on an inconspicuous spot of the unit to ensure that it doesn’t damage

the surface.

Use any nonabrasive cleaning cloth and a cleaning agent that is safe for use on polycarbonate or acrylic plastic.
Liquid or spray cleaner/wax suitable for fine furniture is acceptable.

Do not use this procedure for cleaning the interior of the dome.

Cleaning the interior of the dome

Use these procedures to clean the interior of the dome:

• To remove dust and other surface contaminants, use clean, dry, pressurized air to gently blow off loose

material.

• To remove heavier contaminants, rinse the dome with water and immediately dry it with clean, dry,

pressurized air to prevent water spots.

• To remove stubborn contaminants, use a “wick” to clean the dome’s surface. To make the wick:

a. Use a high-quality, soft paper towel.

b. Roll a section of the paper towel into a tightly wound tube, tear the tube in half, and wet a fuzzy

end with 75% standard rubbing or isopropyl alcohol.

c. Hold the dome with its opening facing downward and wipe the interior with the wick (held at its

dry end) using a circular motion starting from the outside and spiraling into the center.

d. Use a new wick for each of two additional passes over the dome.

GEA-102 wall-mount arm

This cast aluminum wall-mount arm is used to mount a dome to a vertical surface. It is for indoor or outdoor
use and mates with both the plastic indoor and cast aluminum outdoor pendant housings. It can be attached
directly to a vertical surface or mated with a bracket (corner-mount, pole-mount, or roof-mount). Instructions
for mating this mount to the various brackets are provided in the instructions for those brackets. The following
instructions explain how to install the wall-mount arm directly to a vertical surface.

Installing the wall-mount arm

To install the wall-mount arm, see the corresponding figures and do the following:

CAUTION: For all installations, heed these cautions:

• Complete all installation steps before supplying power to the dome.

• To ensure proper operation of a PTZ unit, install the mount level.

• For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must
support the weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental
vibration according to local codes. See Table 1 on page 4.

1. The facility cables usually come out of the mounting surface and enter the arm through the rear
opening in the base. If the cables are attached externally to the mounting surface and need to enter the
arm through the side, open a conduit hole in the side of the arm with the instructions given in Opening

a conduit hole on page 43.

2. The factory secures the end of the safety chain to the collar opening with a quick tie (Figure 29). To
keep the safety chain from slipping into the arm, leave the safety chain tied until you attach the dome
to the arm.

Figure 29. Leaving the safety chain tied
