Installation Unpacking and Inspection All Vicon equipment is tested and inspected before leaving the factory. It is the carrier’s responsibility to deliver the equipment in the same condition as it left the factory. Inspection for Visible Damage Immediately inspect the cartons upon delivery. Make a note of any visible damage on all copies of the carrier’s freight bill.
Mounting the Unit The Surveyor4A is intended for in-ceiling installation. It can be installed in either a dropped ceiling or a hard ceiling. Installation is done with a 4 x 4 electrical box, which is included. All mounting hardware is provided. The ceiling material must provide suitable strength to support the weight of the Surveyor4A dome (3.0 lb, 1.4 kg).

The power supply for the camera must be 24 VAC. Refer to Figure 5. Note: Vicon systems and components, like most electronic equipment, require a clean, stable power source. Voltage irregularities such as surges, drops, and interruptions can affect the operation of your equipment and, in severe cases, damage certain components.

Figure 3 Enclosure/Camera Assembly Components (Inside View) Power Supplies Vicon recommends several power supplies, depending on the needs of the installation. Refer to the table below. For other multichannel power supplies, contact Altronix Corporation at 888-258-7669. Model Number Description VC24PS-1 Single channel indoor, 24 VAC V248-3.5PS...
Figure 4 Power Connections Camera Synchronization If there is more than one unit in a system, the cameras have to be synchronized to ensure there is no roll of video. If the camera will be used in a line lock video application, the camera interface board is already set in line lock mode by default.

Lens/Autoiris Adjustment The manual iris lens can be manually adjusted for focus and angle of view. On the lens, focus (near to infinity) is the front ring and the telephoto/wide adjustment is the end ring; iris is fixed. On autoiris lenses, iris adjustment may be required if the picture appears dark or grainy or has poor color.
Camera/Lens Positioning The camera position can be adjusted in four axes, horizontally (pan), vertically (tilt), vertical height of the camera/lens assembly in the enclosure and rotation about the lens axis (roll). Rotate the camera/lens assembly on the camera mounting (L) bracket to adjust the pan position; swivel the assembly for tilt position. The vertical height of the camera/lens assembly can be adjusted by loosening the lock nut, changing the vertical position of the camera mounting bracket within the slot in the mounting bracket and retightening the nut.
Operation When power is applied to the camera, the Surveyor4A dome views the selected scene. Maintenance The Surveyor4A Miniature Fixed-Position Camera Dome requires no scheduled maintenance except for the occasional cleaning of the lower dome. Care and Cleaning of Lower Dome The inside surface of the smoked (gray-tinted) dome is easily scratched.
Shipping Instructions Use the following procedure when returning a unit to the factory: 1. Call or write Vicon for a Return Authorization (R.A.) at one of the locations listed below. Record the name of the Vicon employee who issued the R.A.
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 or solid conductor with or without a tin plating to obtain a low DC resistance. Do not use cable with either steel or aluminum stranded conductor because these do not transfer signals effectively for long distances.
