Introduction This Quick Guide provides an overview for installing the standard SurveyorVFT PTZ Camera Dome, the SVFT-M Impact-Resistant model, the SVFT-PRS Pressurized version and the SurveyorVFT Fixed models. An abbreviated programming guide is also provided for the camera domes, excluding the fixed versions.

Pin Connections – SurveyorVFT Fixed Both power and video connections are made to the integral printed circuit board (PC board) on the camera mechanism. The PC board provides a board-mounted BNC connector for coaxial, a screw terminal for twisted pair video, an ST connector for fiber-optic or an RJ-45 connector on the ViconNet board for video connection and a removable two-position screw terminal connector for camera power.
Software Features Most of the SurveyorVFT features are accessed remotely through either a keypad or a PC using the SurveyorVFT Configurator software package. To program certain features, a numeric preset is either stored or recalled. Preset functions can represent a variety of features.

90 has no effect. The camera dome retains its capability of zoom, focus and iris control while locked. Preset 93 (Set Response Line Polarity) (Duplex Only) — The SurveyorVFT checks for polarity of the command in lines through the auto baud detect feature. The baud detect cycles through 4800+/4800- /9600+/9600-/19200+/19200-, indicating not only the baud rate it is searching for but also the polarity that the receive lines are set to.
Recalling preset 97 has no effect. Preset 98 (Programming Autopan Limits) — When a SurveyorVFT is selected on a keyboard, pressing the AP (autopan) key will start the camera in motion, panning at a predetermined speed.
Relay Driver — Adjusts and configures the relay output for control of external devices. Source Titling — Programs and displays the various titles available to the SurveyorVFT. Note: All titles are disabled from the factory and will not be displayed upon initial startup.

Warning: If the dome has been dropped and is cracked, do not pressurize. Replace it with a new dome. Note: Leakage rate is less than 2 psi per year. Note: The housing with mechanism has approximately 490 in. of volume. Note: The pressurized function has not been evaluated by UL.

Placement (2 places) HEATER DUCT INSTALLATION (THIS APPLIES FOR ALL SURVEYORVFT OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS) An optional heater duct must be installed in any SVFT Outdoor unit. Its installation is similar for the various types of SVFT (Std. PTZ, Fixed, Maximum Security or Pressurized) Domes and is beneficial in low temperature applications in that it directs warm air onto the lower bubble surface minimizing icing and fogging I condensation problems.
Page 22
For the duct to work effectively, the defog mode for fan operation (not applicable for fixed units) must be evoked. For all versions of firmware prior to Version 1.2.0 a firmware upgrade (Version 1.08.1 minimum) is required to be able to access this mode, which should be installed in conjunction with installing the duct.
“autopan” or “tour” modes of operation. Such continuous operation is outside the scope of this warranty. 11. Any product sold as “special” or not listed in Vicon’s commercial price list: One year from date of original retail purchase.
