The V7USD-V2 is the indoor Housing for the Surveyor system. It can be suspended from a piece of 1.5-inch pipe or Vicon mount (pendant), directly to a Solid (Hard) Ceiling or into a Dropped (suspended) ceiling via a structural grid assembly. All required installation hardware is supplied.
Drive Mechanism Assembly The Drive Mechanism must be fitted with the Camera/Lens Module and configured before it is installed into the Housing. This procedure is best performed on a clean bench with common hand tools. Installing the Camera/ Lens Module 1.
Both formats support 4800 and 9600 baud transmission rates. Surveyor’s baud rate must match the system’s baud rate. NOTE: When Surveyor is to be used in a system with mixed receiver types such as the V15UVS, V1311RB, etc., the baud rate should be set 4800 baud to ensure proper communication. Prior to configuration, determine DIP Switch 5 (S5) Switch Numbers...

Housing Installation Housing installation is a simple process. Choose the installation type based on the supplied components. Three mounting kits are provided for the four possible installation types. INSTALLATION TYPES Indoor Pendant Dropped Ceiling Solid Ceiling Outdoor Pendant The Pendant Mounting Kit labeled FOR FREE HANGING INSTALLATION ONLY includes: DESCRIPTION QUANTITY Cylindrical Spacer...
INDOOR PENDANT The Indoor Pendant mounts in two configurations: Vicon Mount or 1.5-inch Pipe Mount. Both use standard 1.5-inch NPT threaded pipe and can be attached to a wall (vertical surface) or a ceiling (horizontal surface). Installation Using a Vicon Mount Vicon mounts are supplied with the correct 1.5-inch...
Installation Using a 1.5-inch Pipe This installation is similar to the Vicon mount. The pipe can be fastened to any surface or support providing sufficient strength and area for the Mini Dome. 1. Inspect the end of the pipe and remove any burrs on the inside diameter.
DROPPED CEILING Mounts in the grid frame between the dropped and true ceiling space. A complete mounting kit is provided and includes a Cable Access Cap which allows connection to two sizes of conduit pipe. Installation into a Dropped Ceiling The Housing is attached to the Mounting Bracket Assembly and then installed into the Dropped Ceiling.
7. Install the Conduit fitting. 8. Attach a T Bracket to an L Bracket using two screws, flat washers and lock washers. Repeat on the remaining brackets. 9. Slide two sections of a Caddy Rail through the base of a T Bracket. Rotate the Caddy Rail Clips Figure 11 so the open end is facing downward.
SOLID CEILING The Surveyor mounts in a Solid Ceiling cutout and is supported by the Trim Ring. There are four knockout holes on the Trim Ring which must be removed prior to installation. The installer must supply mounting screws and verify ceiling strength for this installation. Installation Into a Solid Ceiling Before starting, route all cabling from the control equipment to this location.
OUTDOOR PENDANT The Surveyor Outdoor Pendant version mounts in two configurations: Vicon mount or 1.5 inch Pipe mount. Both configurations use standard 1.5-inch NPT threaded pipe and can be attached to a wall or a ceiling. This mount is exactly an Indoor Pendant version with an exterior Sunshield and Lower Outdoor Dome for environmental protection.
Installation Using a 1.5-inch Pipe This installation is similar to the Vicon mount. The pipe can be fastened to any surface or support providing sufficient strength and area for the Mini Dome. 1. Inspect the end of the Pipe and remove any burrs on the inside diameter.
The types of wires that need to be installed are power, video, control, auxiliary outputs and alarm inputs. All wiring cables enter the Housing through the top hole via the Cable Access Cap, Vicon mount or 1.5-inch- Pipe, depending upon the mounting method used. Refer to the Technical Information section for all electrical requirements.
In addition, the relay can be used as a set of dry contacts for a Normally Open device input. NOTE: For more information on auxiliary outputs refer to Vicon Technical Bulletin TB5156, “Application of Open Collector Relay Outputs”.
1. Route all cables into the top of the Mini Dome through the electrical Conduit/Cable Access Cap, Vicon mount or 1.5-inch Pipe. Pull approximately 10 ft (3 m) of cable through the Housing to allow convenient wiring on a workbench.
Final Assembly Final assembly is the last step before power-up and test. Final assembly is comprised of installing the pre- assembled Drive Mechanism into the Housing, installing the Lower Dome(s) and attaching a Trim Ring. Final assembly varies in method, depending upon the Housing installation type used. This procedure is performed on the installed Housing with common hand tools.
Installing the Domes There are three possible domes to be installed, a Mask, a Lower Dome and a Lower Outdoor Dome. The following is brief description of each Dome. Refer to the Introduction Section of this manual for a detailed description.
For Dropped Ceiling Installations 3. Stabilize the Housing and position the Trim Ring over the Housing lower rim. Push up on the Trim Ring inner edge firmly and, using the other hand, push down on the Trim Ring outer edge. A single snapping sound will verify that the latch has been properly seated.

Disassembling the Mini Dome The Mini Dome can be easily disassembled by simply removing the domes and Drive Mechanism. The Housing and cabling remains intact during disassembly. It is not necessary to disable the 24 VAC power. Perform Step 1 for a particular installation type and continue with the remaining steps for all installation types. For Indoor Pendant and Dropped and Solid Ceiling Installations: Gently pull down the Lower Dome outside edge, with two hands, until all metal clips snap out of place.
If It It Is Necessary to Remove the Trim Ring Insert a small flat blade screwdriver behind one of the four slots on the Trim Ring inner edge as shown in Figure 27. Gently pull down on the screwdriver while pulling down on the Trim Ring outer edge until it becomes unseated.
If the Surveyor fails to power-up correctly, a built-in diagnostic test can be run to assist in troubleshooting. When initial power-up has been completed and verified, Surveyor can be setup and operated in a normal fashion using a Vicon remote operator keypad, NOVA (VPS) unit or through a PC running Protech software.
Mini Dome. Power-on the control device and verify that it boots up. Setup the control device for operation with the Mini Dome in accordance with its Installation and Operation Manual. For a Vicon model V1300X-RVC or V1300X-DVC use the following procedure to access Surveyor programming: 1.

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. 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 conductor with or without a tin plating to obtain a low DC resistance. Do not use cable with either a steel or an aluminum stranded conductor because these do not transfer signals effectively for long distances.
