10 Maintenance
There are different types of bubbles available to choose from. All bubbles require special care
when handling and cleaning to avoid scratches.
10.1 Bubble handling
The bubble may be packaged with a protective plastic sheet. It is recommended that the
bubble remain stored this way until it is ready to install. Limit handling the bubble, as any
scratches can quickly affect visibility.
10.2 Bubble cleaning
If cleaning the bubble is required, use the following procedures and comply with all the
warnings listed below.
Cleaning the bubble interior
The extremely soft interior surface should not be cleaned by rubbing or dusting with a cloth.
Use clean dry compressed air, preferably from a spray can, to remove any dust from the
interior surface.
!
Warning!
Do not use alcohol-based solutions to clean the bubble. This will cause it to cloud and over
time cause stress aging, which makes the bubble brittle.
Cleaning the bubble exterior
The exterior of the bubble is hard coated for extra protection. If cleaning becomes necessary,
only use cleaning solutions and cloths suitable for cleaning safety glass lenses. Dry the bubble
thoroughly with a dry nonabrasive cloth to prevent water spots. Never scrub the bubble with
any abrasive material or cleaners.
Cautions
– Do not clean bubbles in the hot sun or on very hot days.
– Do not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on the bubble.
– Do not scrape the bubble with razor blades or other sharp instruments.
– Do not use Benzene, Gasoline, Acetone, or Carbon Tetrachloride on the bubble.
10.3 Bubble replacement
i
Notice!
Yellowing of bubble
Bubble may become yellow overtime due to exposure to UV radiation like direct or indirect
sunlight.
In case the bubble gets damaged or yellow, it can be replaced by a clear bubble (NDA-8000-
CBL) or a tinted bubble (NDA-8000-TBL).

FLEXIDOME IP starlight 8000i Maintenance | en 41
Bosch Security Systems B.V.
Installation manual
2021-02 | V02 | F.01U.385.211
Clear bubbles offer maximum sensitivity by allowing as much light through as possible. Tinted
bubbles offer covertness by making it difficult to see from the outside the direction the
camera is facing.
For instructions on how to replace the bubble, refer to the respective Quick Installation Guide.
10.4 Camera reset
To reset the camera to factory settings:
1. Remove the camera module from the camera base.
2. Unscrew and remove the connection PCB from the camera base.
