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.
Sunshield A sunshield pre-installed over the housing used on the outdoor pendant version is for radiation sun-blocking protection. CAUTION: For any environment subject to moisture, use the outdoor pendant model. 4 • Installation XX152-10-01 Rev 209 SurveyorVFT Fixed Camera Dome...
Be sure the area around the selected location is clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers, pipes, electrical wiring, etc.) that would interfere with mounting. Video, sync, and power cables must be routed to the location. 6 • Installation XX152-10-01 Rev 209 SurveyorVFT Fixed Camera Dome...

The ring should be firmly seated against the tile without warping the tile. Refer to Figure 3B. 6. Complete the installation as described in the previous procedure. When using this kit, the flippers squeeze the mounting ring assembly for a snug fit. 8 • Installation XX152-10-01 Rev 209 SurveyorVFT Fixed Camera Dome...
Installation of Optional In-Ceiling Mounting Kit Indoor Pendant The indoor pendant model mounts on a Vicon mount or a 1.5-in. vertical pipe with an appropriate coupling. The pipe is a standard 1.5-in. NPT type and must be oriented vertically so the SurveyorVFT fixed camera dome can effectively hang from the pipe.

Add 1 in. (25 mm) of extra length to each cable for termination (if not previously terminated) and cut them. The approximate length of each cable should be 14 - 15 in. (356 - 381 mm). Continue with the section on Cable Connections. 10 • Installation XX152-10-01 Rev 209 SurveyorVFT Fixed Camera Dome...
Outdoor Pendant The outdoor pendant model mounts on a Vicon mount or a 1.5-in. vertical pipe with an appropriate coupling. The outdoor version includes a sunshield, heater and weather protection. Be sure the area around the selected location is clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers, pipes, electrical wiring, etc.) that would interfere with mounting.
ST connector. Camera Power Connections 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. Vicon strongly recommends the use of line conditioners, voltage regulators, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
Figure 5. Use a small jeweler’s screwdriver to make adjustments. Turning the potentiometer opens and closes the iris to regulate light extremes. Turning the potentiometer clockwise opens the iris wider, allowing more light. Autoiris control is DIP switch selectable. Installation • 13 XX152-10-01 Rev 209 SurveyorVFT Fixed Camera Dome...
Note: When adjusting the focus, it is recommended that the iris be completely open (a dark condition, either at night or using a filter) so that the depth of field does not influence the adjustment.

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.
Page 41
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.
Network Cable Caution: Careful selection of proper cable is essential to obtain the best performance. Vicon assumes no responsibility for poor performance when cables other than the recommended types, or equivalent, are used. Materials Use pure copper stranded conductors to obtain a low DC resistance. The preferred insulation and cable jacket is Polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
