Bosch AutoDome Questions (Envirodome)

[slowforthecones 0]

I took down a Bosch EnviroDome housing that was a pole/corner mount pendant arm. I unscrewed the four bolts holding it and the back box doesn't seem to disconnect. Is the arm and backbox one piece? any ideas?

so the backbox comes off finally, it turns out it's a really tight gasket. however how do you take the dome drive out of a envirodome housing?

I'm talking about an envirodome autodome 300. Is that a G3...??

This is a wall/corner mount version. I am trying to convert this to a ceiling mount version by purchasing the correct ceiling mount adapter that attaches to the top of the dome.

 

My questions still are, this is a envirodome autodome 300 model.

 

Is the bubble user replaceable? if so..how do i open it because the bubble has scuffs.

You probaly have a

VG4-3XX-XXXXX

 

A 300 series is Gen4 series autodome.

 

The in ceiling and outdoor models are completely different.

 

Here are the parts you need:

 

Interface Box VG4-S-BIM

 

In-ceiling Housing (COMMS and CPU modules installed) F01U010500

 

LTC 9349MK - needed for in-ceiling mounting in a drop/suspended ceiling tile

 

The bubble dome is replaceable. It twist off, locked in by 4 tabs. Definitely a two hand job.

 

Clear Bubble with white trim ring PART # VG4-SBUB-CCL

Tinted Bubble with white trim ring PART # VG4-SBUB-CTI

 

 

Depending on how new it is, check with where you bought it, maybe they can help you out.

biphase,

 

thanks for your answer. I acquired this dome thru as trade-in credit from a customer for a new spectra4. The dome doesn't have a model # label anywhere, it's a corner mount unit with the bracket and power supply/back box. I took the dome off the backbox+corner mount. I powered it up with a 18/2 and bnc to the monitor. It shows a manufacture date of 2005 with 26x somewhere on the screen..that's what lead me to believe it's a autodome 300 envirodome.

 

I plan to mount this dome outside using a ceiling mount bracket from bosch. I looked at bosch's catalog, it appears they have a outdoor ceiling mount option for this envirodome.

 

Do you have any service manuals or PDFs instructions on removing the bubble dome cover. how do i twist it off, is there a pry/trim wedge tool i use?

 

thanks again for your reply and insight.
