‘dirty’ earth at one end only! VICTA-ZoneVu ‘down the coax’ telemetry, is not directly supported by the ZVR-530. If you want to be able to control the ZVR-530 via VICTA (which may be the case if you are using a ZVM-328 matrix) you will require a ZVD-V42-ZV VICTA to RS422 ZoneVu driver module, which should be located at the receiver end.
ZVR-530 User Manual Issue 17 Page 6 of 58 Camera Head Pre-assembly and Testing It is important to consider the time and expense that can be saved by pre-assembling and testing the ZVR-530, pan and tilt head, lens and camera prior to installation on-site. Pre-assembly normally involves the following tasks (in no particular order): 1.
Once all the cabling has been connected to the ZVR-530, head, lens and camera it can be tested using the self-test which allows the receiver to be exercised without the need for it to be connected to a ZoneVu controller.

ZVR-530 User Manual Issue 17 Page 8 of 58 To exercise each function manually cycle through the menu until the option you require is flashing. Now select the function. The ZVR-530 will exercise the function until you select FINISH. To change the speed, highlight it in the normal way and then select it. You can now step through the speed range of 1-32. When the speed reaches 32 it will loop back to 1 at the next step.
Press the button to return to the previous menu. Telemetry Setup Before the ZVR-530 can be connected to a ZoneVu controller (see Telemetry Data Network) some basic network configuration needs to be carried out. The simplest way to do this is on the bench with a monitor connected the video output of the ZVR-530.
Network Protocol The ZVR-530 can use five different Network protocols; these are ZoneVu, Old ZoneVu, Pelco P, Pelco D and Forward Vision (subject to change). Please refer to “ZVR-530 Supported Receiver Protocols” for further information. Selecting the Serial Camera Interface The ZVR-530 supports a serial interface to specified camera types.

To configure the advanced features of the ZVR-530 you will require access to a System keyboard such as the ZVK-007 or ZVK-77 connected either directly to the receiver or via a ZoneVu controller such as the ZSC-1000 or ZVM-328. When connected via a video matrix make sure to first select the receiver to a monitor within your view as configuration is via on screen menus.
