3. Grasp the ribbed portion of the locking sleeve with one
hand and the camera with the other. Rotate the ribbed
portion of the sleeve (counter-clockwise when camera
is viewed from the rear) to unscrew it from the camera
housing threads while holding the camera head still
with the other hand. If the locking sleeve is difficult to
turn, get it started with a pair of pliers whose jaws have
been wrapped in electrical tape to prevent scarring the
locking sleeve. Do not crush or deform the locking
sleeve by exerting excessive pressure. Be sure not to
let the safety cables twist more than one rotation.
The design minimizes the chance of this happening;
however, it may be necessary to hold the safety ca-
bles in such a manner that when you turn the locking
sleeve, you aren't turning the safety cables. See
Figure 19.

THE LOCKING SLEEVE!
4. When the locking sleeve is completely unscrewed
from the camera housing female threads, the con-
nector should automatically disengage from the
camera. If this does not occur, grab the locking sleeve
and connector in one hand, the camera head in the
other, and pull them straight out of the back of the
camera. DO NOT twist the connectors! Be sure to
separate connectors by pulling straight! See Figures
19 and 20.

Re-Installing Camera Head
1. Lay out enough cable to lay the spring assembly on a
convenient work area and tighten the brake.
2. Plug the connector and locking sleeve into the camera
head, making sure that the guide pins/sockets are
aligned. Be sure to fully seat the connectors without
any twisting.
3. Once the connectors are fully seated, grasp the cam-
era head with one hand and turn the ribbed portion of
the locking sleeve to screw it into the back of the
camera. Be sure not to let the safety cables twist
more than one rotation. The design minimizes the
chance of this happening; however, it may be neces-
sary to hold the safety cables in such a manner that
when you turn the locking sleeve, you aren't turning
the safety cables.
IMPORTANT! Do Not twist the camera head or coil cord!
Turn only the locking sleeve!
4. Once the locking sleeve is tight into the back of the
camera, and the safety cables are parallel to each
other, install the spring assembly onto the threads on
the camera housing exterior. To do this, turn the cam-
era head one rotation in the counter clockwise direction
until the threads properly align; then rotate the camera
head clockwise onto the spring assembly. This method
will help keep the safety cables from twisting inside the
spring. Be sure to use only your hands (i.e. no tools)
when screwing the camera onto the spring.
NOTE! The camera head will be properly mounted when
the end of the spring is snug between the camera
and the thread (not so far that it begins to raise off
the threads) and you cannot manually unscrew
the camera.

Locating Faulty Components

The basic idea in troubleshooting the system is to use the
camera head to eliminate suspected components. Here
