Table 1 lists the model number, product code and a brief description of components which can be purchased separately. Note that your Matrix 66 system may or may not include these components, depending upon the requirements of your CCTV system.
Preparation Installing the Matrix 66 in a Rack The card cage is designed for mounting in a standard 19-inch rack (EIA standard RS-310). Perform the following procedure to install the card cage in a rack. Note: It is recommended that two installers work together to mount the card cage(s) in the rack.
Supplied Accessories The power cable and required number of terminators will be supplied for your Matrix 66, as well as the appropriate number of control signal looping cables with your order. For the V1466A card, you will receive an accessory kit that contains the items in Table 2.
Camera and Monitor Connections Cameras Video is usually brought back from the cameras to the Matrix 66 with coaxial cable. Even if some other transmission medium is used, such as fiber optics or wireless, final connection to the Matrix 66 is made with coaxial cable.
As the rear panel of the card cages will be labeled for you at the factory, connecting monitors to your Matrix 66 is quick and easy. Perform the procedure below to connect monitors to the Matrix 66. If you are adding monitors to an existing Matrix 66 system, refer to Expanding an Existing System.

Using the supplied control cable, connect J11 Control Out of the first card cage (card cage that contains the V1466A CPU card) to Alarm/Control In of the second card cage (card cage that contains the V1466ADCDB Decoder Card). Multiple Card Cage Installation • 19 X824-05-02 Rev 307 Matrix 66...
3. JP68 – Pin 2 and 3 shunt shorted To add new cards, remove the front panel of the Matrix 66 and insert the card into the appropriate empty slot, taking all necessary precautions to prevent static discharge. Lock the cards into place using the inserter clips.
As discussed in Camera and Monitor Connections, the BNC panel in the extreme right card slot (viewing the Matrix 66 card cage from the rear) is used for cameras 1-64. The next BNC panel is used for cameras 65- 128, and so forth in an increasing camera number order. Refer to Tables 3, 4, and 5.

(second cage). On a Matrix 66 with an External CPU System: In order to identify to the card cage which V6610S-1A video switcher card will be used for which set of 64 cameras, each slot of the cage is addressed using the shunts on the switcher cards and the DIP switch settings and shunts on the decoder board.

Adding a VI466A CPU Card • If you want to convert an existing V1500/V1300 Matrix 66 system to a system that uses the V1466A, you can do so by using the following procedure. Note that you may not expand a VI466A system to more than 256 cameras, 32 monitors (2 card cages).
Page 43
VI466A to Matrix 66 Connections 8. With the V1466A card installed, you will have a keyboard DIN connector on front of the unit for a programming keyboard and a BNC connector on the left rear of the unit for the programming monitor.
Adding a VI466A Titler Card Note: This section is only applicable to a Matrix 66 system controlled by the VI466A CPU card. To add time, date and titling capabilities to your Matrix 66 system, a Vl466ATDT-SHD-16/-32 card must replace the existing V6616-AMP-1A (or V6632-AMP-1AS) that is in your system. This is typically done at the factory.
Page 45
5. Replace the V1466ATDT-SHD-16/-32 cards into the third slot or fourth slots (counting from the left, viewing the unit from the front). Use the inserter clip to lock the card in place and replace the front cover. Expanding an Existing System • 31 X824-05-02 Rev 307 Matrix 66...
External Control System Connections In order to control the Matrix 66 with an external control system (V1500/V1300), you must make a hard-wired connection between the Matrix 66 card cage(s) and the external CPU. Connect the supplied cable between the Alarm/Control In connector of the first card cage and the appropriate connector as listed in the following table.

X553, respectively. Remote Keypads Up to 32 keypads may be connected to the Matrix 66. These keypads are used to control remote positioning of pan-and-tilt drives, lens functions, alarm acknowledgment and receiver communications failure acknowledgment. Perform the following procedure to connect remote keypads to the Matrix 66 card cage.
Not Used Programming Keyboard The programming menus are navigated using an IBM AT-style keyboard connected to the Matrix 66 front panel. Make the connection to the keyboard and refer to NOVA V1466 Digital Control and Matrix Switching System Programming Manual X897 for instructions on using the keyboard to make programming selections.

5. Complete the color column in Table 8 as it will be needed to connect the other end of the cable. 6. Connect the assembled connector to receiver connector J4 on the rear panel of the Matrix 66 card cage which houses the V1466A card.
1. Select the 25-to-37 pin adapter from the VI466A accessory kit. 2. Locate J9 on the Matrix 66 decoder card as shown in Figure 23 below. Plug the adapter from step 1 into this D-shell connector.
Page 52
5. Connect the assembled connector to the D-shell connector labeled “J2 RS-232 ALM” on the rear panel of the Matrix 66 card cage which houses the V1466A card. 6. Connect the other end of the cable to a serial line printer. Refer to the appropriate printer documentation.
Host Computer Connections Note: This chapter is only applicable for Matrix 66 systems using the internal VI466A CPU card. If your control system is the V1500V1300, make connections as documented in XX093 or X553, respectively. The V1466A can communicate with a computer through RS-232 port connector J1. RS-232 commands are used to control and operate CCTV equipment using a remote host computer instead of using one of the remote keypads.

Power Connections Vicon supplies the power cord for the Matrix 66. After all connections are made to other equipment, connect the power cord to the unit and then to the appropriate source (120 VAC or 230 VAC). Turn the unit ON, using the power switch on the front panel.
Then place the sealed storage container in a location where the temperature is maintained between 32 to 122° F (0 to 50° C). Maintenance • 43 X824-05-02 Rev 307 Matrix 66...
Control Cabling If the control system is the V1500 or V1300, a control cable will be connected from the Matrix 66 to the V1500/V1300. This cable is shipped with the control system. If more than one card cage is required for either V1466A or V1500/V1300 systems, a cable will be required between the subsequent cages.

Matrix 66 and the keypads or receivers. All cable types in the table are dual cable except for Belden 9182. Dual cables have two twisted pairs of cables which are shielded to prevent communications between the two sets. Each pair is enclosed by a shield. The shield includes a stranded conductor, the “drain”, that allows the shield to be connected to a ground.
