Introduction The information in this manual covers the installation, operation, and maintenance for the V1411A Series of Video Switchers. This equipment should only be installed by a qualified technician using approved materials in accordance with national, state, and local electrical codes. Read these instructions through completely before attempting installation.

The V1411A has 8 looping inputs (16 with V1411A-EXP) that can be looped to a multiplexer or VCR. The monitor output can be connected to a VCR and the VCR output fed back in as camera input. There is an alarm output relay contact to trigger an alarm on a VCR (or other device).
Quick Installation Guide For experienced installers, use the installation diagram below. For complete detailed instruction on how to install the V1411A, continue reading the Installation section.

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.
Power Requirements Warning: Strict adherence to the following items is essential to ensure electrical safety. Caution: Voltages may be exposed when the unit is opened. Caution: The unit must be properly grounded via the earth core of the power cable. Warning: Do not connect any unit to a power source until installation is complete.
Connections Video Input Connections Video signals are connected by BNC connectors. The video inputs are permanently terminated with 75 ohms and there is no need to terminate unused loop out connections. A BNC connector is provided for looping out each video input. The video loop outputs are buffered and do not need to be terminated if not used. On RS-422 receivers, the address switch must be set at the same address as the camera input number used for its video.
RS-422 Communications Two RJ-45 connectors are provided for RS-422 communications with keypads and receivers. Two Telco (breakout) boxes are provided for connections. There are three keypad connection arrangements. Refer to Figure 3 and RS-422 Communications table. The connections are as follows: If a single local V1411X-DVC, V1411J-DVC or V1410X-DVC is used, it can be connected directly to the V1411A system using the KBRD RJ-45 connector and cable supplied (Telco/breakout box not required).

If keypads other than V1411X-DVC, V1411J-DVC or V1410X-DVC are used, there are no local keypads or it is not desired to power a local keypad from the V1411A, refer to the figure below. Figure 3C: Remote Keypad(s) or Other Keypad Types The receiver connection (other than Vicoax II) requires the RJ-45 connector cable and one Telco/breakout box provided.

Wiring the Unit Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for typical installations. Keypads and receivers can be connected to the V1411A in either a star configuration or a daisy-chain configuration. In star configuration, a V1400X-IDL Intelligent Distribution Line Control (IDL) is required. Refer to Figure 4 for a sample configuration. Figure 4 Star and Daisy-Chain Configurations V1300X-DVC/RVC Keypad...
Connecting the Monitor There are two (2) monitor outputs on the basic V1411A; with the addition of the V1411A-EXP, two (2) monitor outputs are added, for a total of four (4) monitor outputs. Connections should be made to the monitor using RG-59 or URM70 coaxial cable fitted with BNC connectors. Each monitor must be terminated with 75 ohms at the monitor.
1. Be sure there is no power to the V1411A and unplug all connectors. 2. Remove the eight (8) M3 machine screws and washers that secure the cover, four (4) from the rear, two (2) from each side, and the two (2) countersunk M3 screws from the top and bottom. Remove the cover. Note that it might be necessary to slightly spring the ends of the enclosure to remove the cover.
Comms Failure message. Failure to observe the parameters listed can result in significant degradation of the response to keypad operation. Consult Vicon Technical Support when in doubt of how to use this feature. Installation • 13...
In the Dwell Set mode, select the monitor below; the figure set in the dwell time is the delay (in milliseconds). The V1411A restricts delays (timeouts) to a minimum of 4 ms and a maximum of 100 ms. Monitor Delay (Timeout) Set for Keypad 1 Keypad 2 Keypad 3...
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.
