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

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.
