HOw can rotating a sirius dome turn off a isolated ccd camera?

well here is the story - fir the first time i have used the celestron Nightscape OSC n the observatory. For some unknown reason every single time i use the switch to move the dome the camera just cuts out being read and loses its connection to the PC. It took me hours to work out i haven't the foggiest what is going on - the dome is on a battery and the computer with the maxdome connection was not running the camera? this is nuts - twilight zone material so every single time the dome moves this turns off the camera - you get the dada dagong death sound of the usb resetting
