    Introduction V800KBD Remote Keyboard The information in this manual covers the installation and operation of the Vicon V800KBD Remote Keyboard. The installation procedures should only be performed by a qualified technician using approved materials in accordance with national, state and local wiring codes. Read these instructions completely before attempting installation.
  • Page 15: Applicable Devices

    Applicable Devices You may only use the V800KBD Remote Keyboard and V800MIU Multi-Output Interface Unit with Vicon’s AurorA99 (or AurorA) Digital Multiplexer. Refer to Vicon Instruction Manual X873 for information on the AurorA99 multiplexer. You may use any of the following VCRs with the remote keyboard and interface unit: •...
  • Page 16: Installation

    Installation Cable Recommendations You must supply 22 AWG, 2-conductor (twisted pair) shielded copper wire with which to make the connections. In standalone mode, since the communication from the keyboard to the multiplexer and VCR is RS-232 data, the maximum length of cable must not exceed 500 ft (150 m). In multi-unit mode, the communication from the keyboards to the multi-output interface units is RS-485 and the combined length of cable must not exceed 3280 ft (1 km).
  • Page 17: Keyboard Rear Panel

    Perform the following procedure to make connections, define software communication parameters and set switches in a standalone system. 1. At the multiplexer, press the 6 key and then the 3 key from the Main Menu to access the Serial Port Setup Sub Menu.

    Note: Only the 9-pin connector labeled “RS-232/RS-422” on the AurorA99 digital multiplexer’s rear panel may be used for the connections in Table 1. Table 1 Multiplexer Connections in Standalone Mode Keyboard 15-Pin Connector Pin # Multiplexer “RS-232/RS-422” 9-Pin Connector Pin # 5 (ground) 5 (ground and drain wire) 5.

    7. The jumper must be connected across the left and center pins (RS-232) for standalone mode. If this is not the case, move the jumper now. 8. Referring to Figure 2, locate the DIP switch on the bottom panel of the keyboard. This switch defines the type of VCR that you are using.
  • Page 20: Multi-Unit Mode

    Multi-Unit Mode Note: Perform the procedures in this section if you will use keyboard(s) to control more than one VCR and more than one AurorA99 (or AurorA) digital multiplexer; i.e., if you have purchased V800MIU Multi- Output Interface Unit(s). A multi-unit system may contain up to 8 keyboards, 8 multiplexers, 4 multi-output interface units, and 8 VCRs. For each multi-output interface unit, 2 VCRs and 2 multiplexers may be connected.
  • Page 21: Connecting The Vcrs And Multiplexers

    Connecting the VCRs and Multiplexers Perform the following procedure to make connections between the multi-output interface units, VCRs and digital multiplexers. This section of the manual describes the connections illustrated in Figure 5. Multiplexer V800MIU Multiplexer Figure 5 RS-232 Block Diagram 1.

    and multiplexers to the last two channels, or any combination for a maximum total of 2 VCRs and 2 multiplexers per multi-output interface unit. This is illustrated in Figure 4. 5. Make connections between the multi-output interface units and the multiplexers as shown in Table 4 and the VCRs as shown in Table 5.
  • Page 23: Connecting The Keyboards And Interface Units

    Connecting the Keyboards and Interface Units Perform the following procedure to make connections between the multi-output interface units and remote keyboards. Refer to Figure 4 for a block diagram of a system with the maximum number of system components. 1. If you will use more than one keyboard, select one keyboard to be the master keyboard. 2.
  • Page 24: Configuring The Keyboards

    5. Make connections between each keyboard, looping connections from one keyboard to the next in the same manner as the interface units were connected in the last step. Connect the 15-pin connector’s pin 10 of the master keyboard to pin 10 of keyboard 1. Connect pin 10 of keyboard 1 to pin 10 of keyboard 2, and so forth.

    Table 9 4-Pole DIP Switch Settings Multi-Output Interface Units Pole 1 Pole 2 Pole 3 Pole 4 3. Referring to Figure 9, locate the four 8-pole DIP switches labeled SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4 on each multi-output interface unit. Poles 1 through 5 define the multiplexer and VCR addresses to the rest of the system.

    TB4, then all poles of SW4 on that interface should be ON. Connecting Power 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.

    Operation AurorA99 Digital Multiplexer Controls As shown in Figure 10, the left side of the remote keyboard is designed to closely resemble the front panel of the AurorA99 and AurorA digital multiplexers. Refer to the Operation chapter of AurorA99 Digital Multiplexer Instruction Manual X873 for operational procedures.
  • Page 29: Vcr Controls

    VCR Controls The right side of the keyboard is designed for VCR control (see Figure 10). You must refer to the documentation for your VCR for details on operating the VCR and then use the same keystrokes from the keyboard. At the time of this printing, the remote keyboard can control all operations on all types of Mitsubishi VCRs.
