SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

z Before using the Xpress Dome, please ensure that you read and understand the

safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the Xpress Dome is operated correctly.

z The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you

in the safe and correct operation of the Xpress Dome and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to the self, other persons and equipment.

z In this Instruction Manual, the term “Speed Dome”, “equipment” and “device”

refers primarily to the Xpress Dome and its accessories such as power supply and its remote controller.

WARNING

z Do not cover the ventilation opening or slots on the outer casing. To prevent the

Speed Dome from overheating, provide at least two inches of air space around the vent and the slots.

z Do not drop metallic parts through slots. This could permanently damage the

Speed Dome. Immediately turn the Speed Dome’s power off or unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Contact a qualified service personnel authorized by the equipment distributor or a Vitek customer help desk.

z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not

expressly described in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result in high voltage electrical shock. Internal inspections, alterations and repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by the equipment distributor or Vitek customer help desk.

z Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the Speed Dome’s power off, remove the power cable from the power outlet. Confirm that smoke and fume emissions have ceased. Please consult the Speed Dome distributor or the closest Vitek customer help desk.

z Do not allow the equipment come into contact with, or become immersed in,

water or other liquids. Do not allow liquids to enter the interior. The Xpress Dome has not been waterproofed. If the exterior comes into contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. In the event that the water or other foreign substances enter the interior, immediately turn the Speed Dome’s Power off or unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical shock. Please consult the Speed Dome distributor or the closest Vitek customer help desk.

VT-PTZ Series

z Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable

substances to clean or maintain the equipment. The use of these substances may lead to fire. Use a dry cloth on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the device. In dusty, humid or greasy environments, the dust that collects around the ventilation or the slots on the outer casing over long periods of time may become saturated with humidity and short-circuit, leading to fire.

z Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord. Any of these

actions may cause an electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock.

z Do not handle the device or power cord if the hands are wet. Handling it with

wet hands may lead to electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling on the flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires or electrical shocks.

z Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not

expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.

VT-PTZ Series

CAUTION

z Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight

or high temperatures, such as the greenhouse or trunk of a car. Exposure to intense sunlight and heat may cause the battery to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the equipment.

z Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas

could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.

z Do not operate the Speed Dome beyond its specified temperature, humidity or

power source ratings. Do not use the Speed Dome in an extreme environment such as in high temperature or high humidity. Use the device at temperatures within 41°F - 104°F and humidity below 90 %. The normal operating power source for this device is 24VDC/3amps or 24VAC/40VAC.

PREVENTING MALFUNCTION

z Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields. Never place the Speed Dome in close proximity

to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposures to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

z Avoid Condensation Related Problems. Moving the equipment rapidly between

hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, re-sealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

z If Condensation forms inside the Speed Dome. Stop using the equipment

immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the power cord from the power outlet and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.

2.3 DOME CAMERA ADDRESS (ID)

All devices connected in the chain must possess a unique address. If any of the devices possess the same address, then an electrical short may occur, thus damaging the control circuit and attached devices. Please be especially careful when installing multiple Speed Domes with a DVR, as it is critical that the address match the channel number of the DVR.

For example, for DVR’s channel 1 (BNC connector 1), the Speed Dome’s ID must also be 1, for DVR’s channel 2, the Speed Dome’s ID must be 2, and so on.

If more than 16 dome cameras are installed using two or more DVRs, the following formula is useful to determine the Dome ID: ID =16x(n-1)+m ( where n= number of DVR, m=Camera Port)

Please refer to the following diagram to select Speed Dome address (ID).
