SVFT-M Components All SVFT-M units are comprised of a Rugged Housing, a Camera Drive, a Shroud and a Lower Dome. Figure 1 shows these components. Housing The housing for the SVFT-M has a die-cast aluminum housing with a sunshield. The housing has a 1.5-inch NPT pipe flange mount. In addition, the housing is equipped with a safety cord and clip that is used to suspend the camera drive during installation.

These steps provide the most thorough and accurate instructions The SVFT-M model mounts on a Vicon mount (refer to the Introduction section) or a 1.5-inch vertical pipe with appropriate coupling. The pipe is a standard 1.5-inch NPT type and must be oriented vertically so the SVFT-M can effectively hang from the pipe.

Typical Relay and Alarm Connections Alarm input and relay output type signals are also carried on individually-shielded twisted-pair cable sets. The signals are defined in the following descriptions. Alarms 1-4 are electronic CMOS level type inputs that are driven by a dry contact type switch. These signals are connected to terminal block TB2.
Installing the Cables WARNING: Disable the AC power to prevent installer injury and damage to the unit. Cables are routed from the inside of the housing to the customer interface board. In all cases, there should be minimal wire slack at all connection points. After wiring is complete, dress the cables so they are up over the board.

The star configuration requires the use of a Distribution Line Control, such as Vicon’s V1400X-IDL that can support up to 10 domes. Refer to the figure below for an illustration of sample configurations. Both types of configurations can be used within a system.
SVFT-M data line. When one PC is being used with one dome, the PC must be connected to the SVFT-M by means of Vicon’s RS-232/RS-422 Interface Converter (part number 1240-5308-01) and a cable assembly (not provided). Fabricate the cable using 2 twisted pairs plus shield. See table below for pin out connections.
Standalone Configuration System Star Configuration When multiple domes are connected in a star configuration, using a V1400X-IDL, the RS-232/RS-422 Interface Converter is used, part number 1240-5308-01, along with a customer fabricated cable. Refer to Table 2A for connections. In this configuration, connect the converter end of the customer-fabricated cable assembly to the SERIAL port of the computer and the other end to the CPU/J11 port on the V1400X-IDL (you may have to disconnect the keypad).

Configuration The SVFT-M must be configured for its address and mode and termination setting when using RS-422/RS- 485 protocol. The address and mode are set using the two 8-position DIP Switch banks SW1 and SW2. It is necessary to determine which communication mode, Camera/Lens Module type and SurveyorVFT address is required prior to configuration.

Advanced Custom TAB The Custom TAB is only used for the KRX-3 Decoder. Do NOT do any settings in this screen. Custom After the SurveyorVFT has been configured for ViconNet, upon another boot up (or preset 97), the opening screen will display (see below). This screen displays the camera dome program version, current date/time and some of the word ViconNet.
ViconNet Configuration After the camera dome has been setup with the proper IP address, configuration features from a remote workstation, server or recorder are available as follows. • A network settings screen is used to modify the camera dome’s IP parameters. This allows great flexibility in network setup.
ViconNet (IP/LAN) Version Operation The following functions are supported by the ViconNet system through a workstation, recorder or server. 1. System macros can be configured to view and record the dome’s video. In addition, within macros, alarms can be sent and remote macros triggered. 2.
Uninstalling the SVFT-M The SVFT-M camera drive can be easily uninstalled by simply pushing in the tabs to release the camera drive from the housing or the enclosure. A safety cord is always available to safely hang the camera drive or camera dome assembly while installing or uninstalling.
When initial power-up has been completed and verified, SVFT-M can be setup and operated in a normal fashion using a Vicon remote operator keypad, VPS/NOVA unit or through a PC running the Surveyor Direct Control program; the ViconNet can be run from a ViconNet workstation.
SVFT-M. Power-on the control device and verify that it boots up. Set up the control device for operation with the SVFT-M in accordance with its Installation and Operation Manual. For a Vicon model V1300X-RVC or V1300X-DVC keypad connected directly to the SVFT-M or through a CPU, use the following procedure to access SVFT-M programming: 1.
2. Press the PP ENTER key; the PRESET LED displays a blinking 0. 3. Press the 9 and 5 numeric keys in that order. 4. Press the PP ENTER key again. The PRESET LED display remains with the number 95. The monitor will display the power-up test screen (Figure 13) for the duration of its initial testing.
Note: All companies make changes and improvements in their products. Because this product can interface with equipment not manufactured by Vicon, there is a possibility that the interface protocols may have changed since Vicon tested this product with the interfacing equipment.
