Quick Start

All safety instructions should be carefully reviewed before using the Quick Start guide. This guide is intended for a quick overview of product installation. You must refer to the manual for detailed and important information such as cable recommendations, sample system connections and DIP switch settings.

1. Camera and monitor panels on the rear of the Matrix 66 are labeled. Connect cameras and monitors to your system using the numbered labels as a guide. Terminate the appropriate BNC, D-shell connectors or switcher board shunts (JP1-JP64); do not “double terminate.”

2. Connect the supplied cable from Alarm/Control In of the first card cage to the appropriate connector in the table. The “Monitors” column indicates the hardware address of the monitors that will be switched at the specified connector. Refer to the figures that follow.

Introduction

Note: Read all of the instructions completely before installing this equipment.

This manual provides information on the installation of the Matrix 66™ Super-High-Density Switcher, including the installation of the V6680SCC-16-1A or V6680SCC-32-1A card cages and connections to other equipment. Matrix 66 is a microprocessor-based video switching system that routes video signals from a specified camera position to a specified monitor. The front and rear of the Matrix 66 card cage is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

Matrix 66 Front and Rear Panels

The card cage can accept up to 256 camera inputs and can route the video to 16 monitor outputs. Alternatively, a single card cage system can route video to 32 monitors if the maximum number of camera inputs is limited to 128. Each card cage houses up to 4 video switcher cards, each of which can accept 64 video inputs.

The Matrix 66 card cage is supplied with a mother board and a power supply. The other internal components include video switcher cards, video amplifier card(s) and expander card(s), which are installed according to the system size requirements. The specific combination of these cards in a card cage and the number of card cages required for a system are determined by the size and configuration of the video system it is supporting.

X824-05-02 Rev 307 Matrix 66 Introduction • 1

The maximum number of cameras and monitors a system can support depends upon the type of control system used.

One of three control systems must be used with the Matrix 66: the NOVA V1500 control system, NOVA V1300 control system or the NOVA V1466A control system. The V1300 or V1500 must be used if the system size is to exceed 256 cameras, 32 monitors (more than two card cages). The V1300 or V1500 is an external control system that may include the Matrix 66 as one of its CCTV components. If a V1300 or V1500 control system is used to control the Matrix 66, a decoder board is required to be inserted in the slot where the CPU is normally located. The V1466A is an internal printed circuit card that is installed into the Matrix 66 card cage. External components, such as keypads, receivers and alarm devices are always connected directly to the control system. In Figure 2, the Matrix 66 is controlled by the V1466A card and therefore the external CCTV components are connected to the card cage. Note that if the control system is the V1300 or the V1500, all of the external components and the first Matrix 66 card cage are connected directly to the V1300 or V1500. Refer to Figure 2A.

This system should only be installed by a qualified technician using common hand tools and approved materials and wiring methods in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, state and local wiring codes. All interconnecting equipment or accessories must be UL Listed. Any mention in this manual of alarm inputs/outputs have not been evaluated by UL to be used for burglar alarm functionality.

Preparation

Installing the Matrix 66 in a Rack

The card cage is designed for mounting in a standard 19-inch rack (EIA standard RS-310). Perform the following procedure to install the card cage in a rack.

Note: It is recommended that two installers work together to mount the card cage(s) in the rack.

1. Plan the layout of the equipment in the racks before installing any equipment. Note that if the V1466A card will be installed in the system, a keyboard must be connected to the card cage. The placement of the keyboard should be considered in the layout; the card cage should be positioned so that the attached keyboard is accessible.

2. Allow a minimum of 1.75 inches of vertical rack space between racked components for ventilation. Racked components that are a single EIA rack unit in height (1.75 in.) may be grouped in pairs, each pair being separated from other components by 1.75 inches.

3. The manufacturer of the racking console may or may not include screws for attaching the racked components to the console. Determine if they will be supplied. If not, be sure to have an adequate supply of UNF-standard No. 10-32” 3/8 screws for installation.

4. Take an inventory of all rack equipment including hardware, brackets, etc. Reorder any missing parts immediately. This avoids delays in the middle of the assembly process.

5. Some rack manufacturers supply special mounting hardware. Determine how this hardware is to be used before attempting to install any racked equipment.

6. Use at least one blower/fan per rack. Place it in the bottom of the rack so that air is drawn in at the bottom of the rack and vented at the top.

7. One installer should position the rack while a second installer secures it to the front standard.

Tools Required

Vicon does not supply the tools needed in the installation process. If the control system is the internal V1466A

card, receivers and other equipment will be connected to the card cage. In order to do so, you must assemble D-shell connectors. The following tools will be required in that case:

 crimp tool AMP 90302-l or 90312-l  wire stripper.  standard hand tools

If a contact pin is inserted into the wrong connector receptacle, AMP extractor tool 91067-3 will be required to remove it. You may also need the necessary tools to assemble BNC coaxial cables, depending upon the number and length of coaxial cables that you have on hand.
