Introduction The information in this manual covers the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Roughneck V900 Series of Impact-Resistant Dome Cameras. These units should only be installed by a qualified technician using approved materials in accordance with national, state and local wiring codes. Read this manual through completely before attempting installation.
Installation Unpacking and Inspection All Vicon equipment is tested and inspected before leaving the factory. It is the carrier’s responsibility to deliver the equipment in the same condition as it left the factory. Inspection for Visible Damage Immediately inspect the cartons upon delivery. Make a note of any visible damage on all copies of the carrier’s freight bill.
Note: If the conduit fitting on the side is used, the base should be mounted so the conduit connection is as close to the bottom of the unit as possible to prevent water from entering the unit. 4 • • Installation X986-05-00 Rev 1002 Roughneck V900 Dome Cameras...

Cable Preparation Camera Power Connections Note: Vicon systems and components, like most electronic equipment, require a clean, stable power source. Voltage irregularities such as surges, drops, and interruptions can affect the operation of your equipment and, in severe cases, damage certain components. Vicon strongly recommends the use of line conditioners, voltage regulators, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
A Faston (lug) is provided in the accessory kit. Power Supplies Vicon recommends several power supplies, depending on the needs of the installation. Refer to the table below. For other multichannel power supplies, contact Altronix Corporation at 888-258-7669. Model Number...

The cover can be rotated 90° by aligning the screws/holes differently. Caution: For moisture protection, Vicon recommends that when the cover is reattached, it compress the gasket to a thickness of approximately 1/16 in. (1.6 mm).
Operation When power is applied to the camera, the Roughneck V900 views the selected scene. Maintenance The Roughneck V900 Impact-Resistant Cameras require no scheduled maintenance except for the occasional cleaning of the lower dome. Care and Cleaning of Lower Dome The inside surface of the smoked (gray-tinted) dome is easily scratched.
Shipping Instructions Use the following procedure when returning a unit to the factory: 1. Call or write Vicon for a Return Authorization (R.A.) at one of the locations listed below. Record the name of the Vicon employee who issued the R.A.
Coaxial Cable Recommendations Caution: Careful selection of proper cable is essential to obtain the best performance from this equipment. Vicon assumes no responsibility for poor performance when cables other than those recommended, or equivalent, are installed. In all cases, coaxial cable impedance should be 75 ohms.
Twisted-Pair Cable Caution: Careful selection of the proper cable is essential to obtain the best performance from this equipment. Vicon assumes no responsibility for poor performance when cables other than those recommended are installed. Materials Use a pure copper stranded or solid conductor with or without a tin plating to obtain a low DC resistance. Do not use cable with either steel or aluminum stranded conductor because these do not transfer signals effectively for long distances.
Heater: one 2-pin connector. Video Output Impedance: 75 ohms. Scanning System: EIA/NTSC: 525 lines, 60 fields/sec. CCIR/PAL: 625 lines, 50 fields/sec. Radio Frequency Emission Rating: FCC Class A. Technical Information • • 15 X986-05-00 Rev 1002 Roughneck V900 Dome Cameras...
