  • Page 15: Administration

    Administration User Administration User profiles contain the information necessary to identify each user in the CCTV system. The three privilege levels are Operator, Manager, and Administrator. Up to 64 users with unique profiles are allowed in a configuration, however, only three users may have administrator privileges. After three administrators have been defined, the Privilege settings will be limited to operator and manager selections.

  • Page 16: Administrator Details

    Administrator Details The Administrator Details fields are used to define a passcode, automatic logout and the dwell time for the automatic logoff option. Operators and managers do not have access to these features. Passcode A login ID must be entered in order to access the control system’s programming screens, regardless of the privilege level.

  • Page 17: Stop Bits

  • Page 18: Event Number

    Event Number The event number list is located down the left side of the screen. The maximum number of timed events is 64. This maximum does not apply to events which are not timed. Any combination of events may be identified as timed events.

  • Page 19: Alarm Enable Settings

    Alarm Enable Settings Alarm Pattern Alarms may be grouped in patterns A, B, or C, as discussed in Alarms, Input Controls. Select the pattern from the drop down list for this timed event. Alarm Type Settings Alarm Pattern Select the pattern (A, B or C) from the drop down list. Refer to Alarms, Input Controls. Scheduled Time Time of Day Select the hour (in 24-hour mode) from the drop down list to the left.

  • Page 20: Triggered Events

    Triggered Events Three triggered event types are programmable in the control system: tours, salvos and presets. Unlike a timed event, which activates at a specified time of day, triggered events activate when a specified V1300X-IA input (referred to as an “X-IA” input) is activated. For example, an X-IA alarm input may be connected to a switch that is used by operators to activate a specified preset.

  • Page 21: Tour Settings

    Tour Settings Tour Number Select the number of this tour from the drop down list. Monitor Number Note: This setting is not applicable if the tour is a salvo tour. The tour will be defined as a monitor or salvo tour in the Video, Sequential Tour screen.

  • Page 22: Keypads

    Keypads Keypad Profile Keypad profiles define the functionality of keypads with respect to other components in the CCTV system. The communications settings define the data transmission speed and delay time. The seize and priority functions define the keypad’s interaction with other keypads. The ability to acknowledge alarms and the default monitor assignment are also specified from this screen.

  • Page 23: Priority Level

    cannot change to another camera. Keypad 1 could change to a different monitor and change cameras, but still could not control camera 1. Select Enabled or Disabled. Priority Level A priority level should be assigned to each keypad in the system. The control system uses priority levels to rank the ability of each keypad to seize control of a camera station from another keypad.

  • Page 24: Monitor Partition

    Monitor Partition Monitor partitioning assigns selected monitors to the keypad specified in the keypad number list. Available monitor numbers are listed onscreen to the right. Adding monitors to the Partitioned monitors list assigns, or partitions, those monitors to a keypad. The cameras that are partitioned to a monitor may be controlled from keypads that include this monitor number in the partition list.

  • Page 25: Receivers

    Receivers Receiver Profile Communication parameters must be set for each receiver in the CCTV system. Receiver Number This is a list of the available receivers in the system. Baud Rate Caution: You must define the same baud rate for all receivers! Use the Set All button to do so. The baud rate is the speed of data transfer between the receiver and the control system.

  • Page 26: Home Position

    Choose the Simplex setting when receiver response is not required by the control system. Receiver alarms and communication failures will not be reported back to the system if the Simplex setting is chosen. This setting is typically used when there is a problem that has not yet been identified and corrected with the receiver response (perhaps from incorrect wiring), because the system will not expect responses from this receiver.

  • Page 27: Alarms

    Alarms Alarm Stacking Mode When multiple alarms are activated, a list of the activated alarm input numbers is created in temporary memory. A separate list may be maintained for each alarm monitor, or one list may be used for all alarm monitors, depending upon the alarm stacking mode chosen for the system.
  • Page 28 Camera 20, Preset 02, on monitor 2. Because the Edit Alarm Callup table for alarm 01 does not include monitor 3, it will continue to display the pre- alarm video (camera 10, preset 01). Note that even though the list of active alarms (the stack) is common to all alarm monitors, a specific monitor will only display the alarm video from a particular alarm input if it was defined to do that in the Edit Alarm Callup table.
  • Page 29 Independent Stack Example The following figure illustrates independent stack mode. The initial conditions are: • Independent stack mode • FIFO (first-in, first-out) order for monitors 1 and 3; priority order for monitor 2 • Acknowledged alarms will NOT be cleared from all monitor lists •...
  • Page 30 Independent Stack Example 28 • Alarms Pilot Select Configurator XX190-20-00...

  • Page 31: Alarm Input Order

    Alarm Input Order Note: This setting is unavailable if independent stack mode is chosen, as the alarm order must be defined for each alarm monitor’s stack. Refer to Alarm Monitor Actions, Alarm Order for independent stack mode. If common stack mode is chosen for the monitor stack mode, as discussed in Alarm Stacking Mode, Monitor Stack Mode, there is only one stack for all alarm monitors.

  • Page 32: Clear From All Monitors Upon Acknowledge

    Clear From All Monitors Upon Acknowledge If common stack mode was chosen, acknowledging an active alarm will remove that alarm from the common stack. If independent stack mode was chosen, functions that affect display order act upon alarm monitors individually, not globally. In other words, the stacks are independent; each alarm monitor has its own stack. However, acknowledging an alarm may be specified as a global function even for the independent stack mode.

  • Page 33: Monitor List

    Monitor List Select a monitor from the monitor list and set the parameters in the action fields to the right of the list. Repeat for each monitor in your CCTV system. Alarm Monitor Enabled Alarm monitors are monitors that may display alarm video. Any monitor may be designated as an alarm monitor. Click to place an “x”...

  • Page 34: Receiver Actions

    Alarm Enabled Caution: Vicon recommends that X-IA alarms (not receiver alarms) be used for critical surveillance areas. Receiver alarms must be enabled in order to be processed by the control system. Place an “x” in the field to enable the receiver alarm;...

  • Page 35: Input Controls

    Input Controls Caution: Use X-IA alarms rather than receiver alarms for critical surveillance areas. The Input Controls screen applies to X-IA alarms only. X-IA alarms are V1200X-IA and/or V1300X-IA alarm interface devices connected to the control system equipment. Receiver alarm controls are specified in Receiver Actions.

  • Page 36: Alarm Serial Port

    Patterns of X-IA alarms must be specified as momentary or latching. Three patterns are available. The use of patterns allows X-IA alarms to operate as a group. For example, an Alarm Type event using pattern A could be scheduled for daylight hours and pattern B could be reserved for night. Pattern A might set all X-IA alarms to act as momentary in this example, while pattern B sets all X-IA alarms to act as latching.

  • Page 37: Parity

    Parity The setting chosen for the parity must agree with the parity of the printers or host computers. Select the parity from the drop down list. Alarms • 35 Pilot Select Configurator XX190-20-00...

  • Page 38: Video Switch

    Video Switch Default Callup Note: The fields shown on this screen depend upon the Type setting. For example, if you choose Tour as the Type, the fields under the Type field will change to Tour Settings. The Default Callup specifies the condition of each monitor in the CCTV system when power is applied. Monitors Select a monitor and define the actions as described in the following section(s).

  • Page 39: Camera Partition

    Camera Partition The procedure of assigning cameras to monitors is known as partitioning. Video from camera stations may not be displayed on monitors unless the camera stations are partitioned to those monitors. Monitors are partitioned to keypads as discussed in Keypads, Monitor Partition. Keypads may only control a camera station if it has been partitioned to a monitor which was in turn partitioned to that keypad.

  • Page 40: Salvo Switch

    Salvo Switch Salvos are defined using the Salvo Switch screen. After a salvo is defined to the system using this screen, it may be activated manually at a keypad or may be used as a step in a salvo tour. Salvo List Select each salvo in turn from the salvo list and define the steps in the salvo.

  • Page 41: Sequential Tour

    Sequential Tour Salvo and monitor tours are defined from the Sequential Tour screen. Note: The fields shown on this screen depend upon the Type setting. For example, if you choose Monitor Tour as the Type, the fields to the right of the Step Number list will change. Tours Select each tour in turn from the tour list and define the tour using the onscreen fields.
  • Page 42 Note: It is not required that the total number of steps be defined. For unused steps, select “No Receiver” for the Camera Number setting. Step Number This is a list of the steps available in the tour. Click on each step in turn and define the parameters in the adjacent fields.

  • Page 43: Salvo Tour Details

    Salvo Tour Details Salvo tours must be defined by selecting the Salvo Number and Dwell time for each step in the tour. Each step defines the actions to take place at a relative time in the tour. For example, step 3 is performed after step 2 and before step 4.

  • Page 44: Dial Up Video

    Dial Up Video Dial up numbers are used to redefine the identifying numbers (i.e., to assign an alias) for cameras as a consequence of software defaults and hardware connections. For example, if dial up numbers are not used to redefine video input numbers, video from cameras will always be identified by the number of the video input connector at the control system.

  • Page 45: Dial Up Salvo

    Dial Up Salvo Dial up numbers are used to redefine the identifying numbers (i.e., to assign an alias) for salvos. Using dial up numbers, salvos may be identified using a unique four-digit number from 1 to 999. Dial up numbers are used during normal operation and may not be used during programming.

  • Page 46: Tour Number

    The high speed switching output is used to route video from a range of video inputs to 2 high speed switching monitors. These monitor outputs can be connected to a Vicon video loss detector and, if an X-IA input is connected to the video loss detector’s alarm output, the loss of video from any camera within the range will...

  • Page 47: Time Date Titler

    Time Date Titler Time and Date Controls The Time and Date Controls screen is used to define the date and time format. Date Format Select the date format from one of the three available options, where MM represents two digits for the month, DD represents two digits for the day of the month and YYYY represents four digits for the year.

  • Page 48: Display Controls

    Display Controls The Display Controls screens are used to specify the placement, size and fade of onscreen text. The time and date display, title display and seize status are also enabled or disabled. Monitor Position Monitor List The control system allows the size, appearance and position of onscreen text to be specified for each of the individual monitors.

  • Page 49: Title Position

    Title Position Use the slide bars and monitor icon to position the placement of the control system’s programming screens in the X (lower slide bar) and Y (right-hand slide bar) dimensions for the selected monitor. The range of either X or Y positions is 0 to 31.

  • Page 50: Fade Control

    Fade Control The camera, alarm, and preset titles may be set to fade from the screen after a specified period of time. These controls are set for each monitor selected from the monitor list. Camera/Alarm Title Fade Click to enable or disable the camera and alarm titles to fade from the selected monitor’s screen after the fade time elapses.

  • Page 51: Camera Titles

    Camera Titles Camera titles are usually used to identify the physical location of the area under surveillance by the cameras within the CCTV system. The appropriate user-defined or default camera title will be displayed on the monitor screen when the camera is selected, if the monitor’s camera title display has been enabled. Each camera may have a unique, single-line title of up to twenty alphanumeric characters.

  • Page 52: Preset And Sector Titles

    Preset and Sector Titles Preset and sector titles are used to identify either the system presets or sectors. Each preset and sector may have a unique, single-line 20-character title. 50 • Time Date Titler Pilot Select Configurator XX190-20-00...
