Outdoor Pendant Model
The Outdoor Pendant model mounts on a Vicon mount (refer to the table in the Introduction section) or a 1.5inch vertical pipe with appropriate coupling in the same manner as the indoor version. The outdoor version
includes a sunshield, heater and weather protection.
Outdoor Pendant Overview
The mount is installed with all the cables run through it or the 1.5-inch NPT pipe is prepared with lubricant for
the housing and the SurveyorVFT installation. The cables are routed through the housing and the housing is
screwed tightly to the pipe. Then the customer interface board is wired. The SurveyorVFT is hung from the
housing safety cord. The SurveyorVFT drive is then carefully snapped into the housing. The entire
SurveyorVFT is supported by the mount. The outdoor lower dome is then snapped on and screwed tight to
the SurveyorVFT. See Figure 15. Detailed installation instructions will follow.
The accessory kit contains the removable terminal blocks to be used for connections in this installation. The
mount must provide a support of suitable strength for the outdoor pendant SurveyorVFT weight of 7.7 lb
(3.5 kg).

Wiring
Wiring is done with runs of cable for power, video and control. Optional wiring can be installed for the relay
output and alarm inputs. All cables enter the enclosure from the top on all pendant installations and through
the conduit fitting on all in-ceiling installations. Refer to the Technical Information section for all electrical
requirements.
Power cables carry AC power and are usually a two-conductor type ranging in size from 20 to 12 AWG. The
power source used should be a UL listed Class 2 indoor/dry or Class 3 outdoor/wet rated type power supply.
The leads should be connected to Terminal Block 1 (TB1). The size of the two-conductor cable depends on
indoor/outdoor application and cable distance as shown in Table 4 of the Technical Information section. Refer
to the table in the Introduction for power supplies available from Vicon (single and multi-channel).
In the standard version, video cables carry the composite video signal and Vicoax signals out of the
SurveyorVFT over coaxial cable. In Vicoax mode, the video signal also carries the control signals. The video
cable should be connected to the BNC female connector J1 for installations using coaxial cable; for UTP
installations, twisted-pair video wires should be connected to TB4. For the fiber-optic version, video is carried
through connector J2 on the customer interface board to a “daughter board” with a standard fiber-optic
connector. For the ViconNet version, video is digitized and made available through the RJ-45 LAN
connection. Refer to the Reference section of this manual for information on recommended cable types and
maximum distances.
For the standard coax and twisted-pair versions, control cables carry the Pilot/NOVA/VPS digital signals and
require individually-shielded twisted-pair sets. The RS-422/485 signal carries the Pilot/NOVA/VPS protocol
(data). The RS-422 protocol is used for single camera dome applications. RS-422 signals are always active
and do not have a tri-state (high impedance) state. The RS-485 protocol is used for multiple camera domes in
a daisy chain configuration. RS-485 signals are not always active and do have a tri-state (high impedance)
state. Thus, up to 32 SurveyorVFT units maximum (at a maximum distance of 5000 ft (1524 m) end-to-end)
can be daisy chained to any other compatible RS-485 device, including another SurveyorVFT. Refer to the
customer interface board and Figure 19 for signal connection points. The type of cable required depends on
the cable distance and number of wire pairs within a cable, as shown in the Reference section. These signals
are connected to Terminal Block 3 (TB3). There can be a maximum of two control cables (twisted-pair sets),
depending on the mode selected, Simplex or Half Duplex operation. For the fiber-optic version, RS-422 data
is carried through connector J2 on the customer interface board to a “daughter board” with a standard fiberoptic ST connector. For the ViconNet version, communication signals are digitized and are made available
through the RJ-45 LAN connection. Refer to Figure 19.
Half Duplex: This RS-422/485 protocol type allows two-way command and response flow between the
SurveyorVFT and the control system that requires two individually-shielded twisted-pair
cables.
Simplex: This RS-422/485 protocol type allows command flow from the control system to the
SurveyorVFT only requiring one shielded twisted-pair cable.
COMMAND IN ± (COMM IN): A signal from the CPU that causes some function to occur in the
SurveyorVFT.
RESPONSE OUT ± (RESP OUT):A signal from the SurveyorVFT to the CPU in response to a
COMMAND IN signal or triggered by an alarm input.
Additionally, there are two jacks provided for audio, JP2 (MIC) for Audio IN and JP1 (SPK) for Audio OUT. At
this time, JP1 is not available.

28 • 5BWiring XX134-07-00 Rev 908 SurveyorVFT Camera Dome System
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. Each input has two
states, open and closed. For example, in Figure 20, a
door switch can activate an alarm when connected to a
SurveyorVFT alarm input. As a guideline (under normal
conditions), the cable should be 22 AWG for a 1000 foot
(305 m) distance. The states correspond to defined TTL
designations as follows:
OPEN = HIGH and CLOSED = LOW
where: HIGH = 5 VDC and LOW = < 1 VDC
Since dry contact switches are normally defined in terms
of their inactive or “normal” state, the following holds
true:
Figure 20
Typical Alarm Circuit
The “active” state can be programmed through the SurveyorVFT menu system. These signals are
NORMALLY CLOSED (NC) = ACTIVE HIGH (OPEN)
NORMALLY OPEN (NO) = ACTIVE LOW (CLOSED)
connected to terminal block TB2. Alarm signals can be
programmed for their status (enabled/disabled), active
level definition (high/low), action/reset function (none,
preset, aux on, aux off or tour), acknowledgment mode
(automatic, momentary or manual) and report status
(yes/no).
The relay output is an actual relay output dry contact,
which directly drives external devices (1.5 A @30 VDC
max). For example, a light can be turned on and off
when the relay output is connected to the light circuit.
Refer to Figure 21. The relay output contact can be
programmed for its power-on state definition (on/off)
and output type definition (momentary or latching).
There is one relay output dry contact located on
terminal block TB3. Connect the circuit to be switched
to the connector pins labeled RELAY C (relay
common) and RELAY NC or RELAY NO for a normally
closed or normally open connection, respectively.

Installing the Cables
WARNING: Disable the AC power to prevent installer injury and damage to the unit.
Cables are installed using 2 different methods, depending on the installation type. For the in-ceiling
installation, cables are routed from above the ceiling through a conduit fitting on the enclosure to the
customer interface board. For the pendant installation, 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. Each camera dome version requires some
different wiring connections. Refer to Figure 19 for individual customer interface board connections.
For an In-Ceiling Installation
1. Place all cables through the conduit fitting on the side of the enclosure. Verify that all cables have been
routed through 0.75 inch (19 mm) rigid or flexible conduit pipe.
NOTE: If conduit pipe is not used, the supplied strain relief fitting must be installed in place of the one
installed to provide sufficient cable strain relief.
2. If using flexible conduit, cut all cables to their approximate required lengths. Leave approximately 1 inch
(25 mm) extra for termination. Tighten fitting.
3. Remove terminal blocks from the accessory kit. The 2-pin is for power, the two (2) 8-pin are for alarms
and control/relay; the 3-pin is for UTP option.
4. Strip approximately 1 in. (25 mm) of the cable outer jacket used for power, control, UTP video (optional),
alarms and relays. Then strip approximately 0.25 inches (6 mm) of insulation off of each individual wire.
5. Terminate the video (coaxial) cable with a BNC type male connector. Terminate the 8-conductor alarm
cable and relay/control signal cable.
6. Make all connections to terminal blocks TB1 (power), TB2 (alarms), TB3 (relays/control signals) and TB4
(UTP video) with reference to Tables 2A, 2B and 2C, depending on version. On TB3, the COMMAND IN
+ (COMM IN +) and COMMAND IN - (COMM IN -) connections must be used for Simplex operation. For
Half Duplex operation, the additional signals RESPONSE OUT + (RESP OUT +) and RESPONSE OUT (RESP OUT -) must also be used.
7. Install the terminal blocks TB1, TB2, TB3 and TB4 into the Customer Interface Board at the proper block
frames.
8. Install the video BNC cable connector to the Customer Interface Board’s mating BNC connector for the
standard version. ALTERNATE CONNECTION: For the model using the UTP video connection, use the
twisted-pair video wires. Attach each wire to screw terminal TB4. This signal is polarized and specific wire
connections (+ or -) are marked on the board. Refer to the instructions supplied with the receiver for
those connections. For fiber version, use standard ST connector on “daughter board.” For ViconNet,
connect an RJ-45 connector to J1 on the board.
9. On installations not using flexible conduit, slide back excess cable and insert the conduit pipe into the
conduit fitting and tighten the screw.
30 • 5BWiring XX134-07-00 Rev 908 SurveyorVFT Camera Dome System
For an Indoor or Outdoor Pendant Model Installation
Refer to Figure 19 customer interface boards for indoor or outdoor pendant model mount cable installation
details.
1. Route each cable from the inside top of the housing.
2. Remove terminal blocks from the accessory kit. The 2-pin is for power, the two (2) 8-pin are for alarms
and control/relay; the 3-pin is for UTP option.
3. Strip approximately 1 inch (25 mm) of the cable outer jacket used for power, control, UTP video (optional)
alarms and relays. Then strip approximately 0.25 inches (6 mm) of insulation off of each individual wire.
4. Terminate the video (coaxial) cable with a BNC type male connector. Terminate the 8-conductor alarm
cable and the relay/control signal cable.
5. Make all connections to terminal blocks TB1 (power), TB2 (alarms), TB3 (relays/control signals) and TB4
(UTP video) with reference to Tables 2A, 2B, 2C, depending on version. On TB3, the COMMAND IN +
(COMM IN +) and COMMAND IN - (COMM IN -) connections must be used for simplex operation. For
half duplex operation, the additional signals RESPONSE OUT + (RESP OUT +) and RESPONSE OUT (RESP OUT -) must also be used.
6. Slide excess cable back up into the mount/pipe so that cable length is flush with the bottom of the
housing, approximately 8 to 9 inches (203 to 229 mm).
7. Install the terminal blocks TB1, TB2, TB3 and TB4 into the customer interface board at the proper block
frames. Install the video BNC cable connector to the customer interface board’s mating BNC connector.
ALTERNATE CONNECTION: For the models using the UTP video connection, use the twisted-pair video
wires. Attach each wire to screw terminal TB4. This signal is polarized and specific wire connections
(+ or -) are marked on the board. Refer to the instructions supplied with the receiver for those
connections. For fiber version, use standard ST connector on “daughter board.” For ViconNet, connect an
RJ-45 connector to J1 on the board.

Installation Configurations
There are two types of installation configurations for coaxial, twisted-pair and fiber-optic domes, daisy-chain
or star, depending on the needs of the system. A daisy-chain loops signals from one unit to the next. There
can be a maximum of up to 5000 ft (1524 m) from the CPU, keypad or V1400X-IDL to the last dome in the
chain. A star configuration provides multiple communication paths. By fanning out communications, system
reliability increases; a failure on one leg of a star has no affect on the other units. 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.
Note: For daisy chain operation, the DIP switch must be set to RS-485 protocol; for star operation the DIP
switch must be set to RS-422 protocol. Refer to Configuration section for setting the DIP switch.
XX134-07-00 Rev 908 SurveyorVFT Camera Dome System 5BWiring • 35
Installing the Flash Upgrade and PC Direct Control
It is possible to upgrade software for the SurveyorVFT through a PC and to control the SurveyorVFT from a
PC. There are two system configurations, a standalone system, with one dome and one PC, and a star
configuration, using a V1400X-IDL.
Note: The Flash Upgrade and PC Direct Control Software do not work with the ViconNet (IP) model of the
SurveyorVFT.
Note: A Flash Upgrade cannot be performed on a Vicoax system.
Note: The Flash baud rate must be the same as the Operational baud rate; if this is not the case, turn off the
intelligence switch on the V1400X-IDL.
Before the software for the SurveyorVFT can be upgraded, it is necessary to setup the hardware.
Additionally, software for the PC must be ordered; the disk provides both the flash upgrade utility, needed to
upgrade the firmware in the dome to latest version, and the PC Direct Control Software, which allows a host
PC to control several domes through a GUI. Call Technical Support at 1-800-34-VICON (1-800-348-4266).
Standalone Configuration
Vicon recommends the standalone configuration, connecting the output of the RS-232/RS-422 converter
directly to the SurveyorVFT data line. When one PC is being used with one dome, the PC must be connected
to the SurveyorVFT 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. Connect the converter to the SERIAL port on the PC. Connect the other end of the
fabricated cable to COMM TB3 on the Communications/Power Supply PC Board. See following figure.

Star Configuration System
Configuration
The SurveyorVFT must be configured for its address and mode and termination setting when using RS422/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. Configuration should be performed just prior to final assembly and
installation. The termination setting is configured using 3 jumpers. This termination setting does not apply to
RS-422 mode.
Setting the DIP Switches
This section defines how to set DIP switches 1 and 2 (SW1 and SW2) on the Main Board.
Refer to Figure 22 for DIP switch location
and Figure 23 for DIP switch label. DIP
switch 1 (SW1) is used to set the address
as explained later. DIP switch 2 (SW2) is
used to set the mode functions and
protocol. Position 1 is the video mode
setting, NTSC (ON) or PAL (OFF).
Position 2 is the communication mode
setting, Vicoax mode (ON) or Serial (OFF).
Serial selection enables twisted pair
compatibility to other manufacturer’s
protocol. Position 3 is the communication
type setting, SIMPLEX (ON) or HALF
DUPLEX (OFF). Position 4 is the protocol
mode setting, RS-485 (ON) or RS-422
(OFF). Switches 5-8 select other
manufacturer’s protocols. Each switch is
numbered from 1 to 8 and marked to
indicate the ON position. SurveyorVFT will
automatically detect the system’s baud
rate and supports 4800, 9600 and 19,200
kb/sec rates.
Figure 22
DIP Switch Location
specified in Table 3. All addresses between 0 and 255 are valid (address 0 is the same as camera
number 256). See Figure 23.

End-of-Line Jumper Location
NOTE: DIP Switch 2 (SW2) switch 4 must be set to the ON (RS-485) position for proper daisy chain
operation. The end-of-line jumpers do not affect RS-422 mode.
This section defines setting
the end-of-line jumpers JP1,
JP2 and JP3. The jumper
sockets are located on the
underside of the customer
interface board, as shown in
Figure 24.
NOTE: 32 units maximum can be daisy chained at a maximum distance of 5000 ft (1524 m) end-to-end.
The 3 jumpers are installed on each SurveyorVFT. There are 2 possible configurations as follows:
Jumpers Installed: For one camera dome or the last in line of a daisy chain using RS-485 protocol only.
Jumpers Uninstalled: For all intermediate camera domes in a daisy chain using RS-485 protocol only.
1. Uninstall the SurveyorVFT camera drive to access the jumper sockets. Refer to the “Uninstalling the
SurveyorVFT” section of this manual.
2. Verify that all 3 jumpers are installed over the 2 pins for each socket on a SurveyorVFT that is the only
unit in a daisy chain or the last in line of a daisy chain.
3. Reassemble the SurveyorVFT and proceed to the Operation section of this manual for functional testing.
Refer to the Installation section of this manual.
Configuring the ViconNet (IP/LAN) Version
The following information is provided when installing the ViconNet version of the SurveyorVFT (IP dome)
only. The SurveyorVFT camera dome (IP version) is shipped with a CD that contains the ViconNet version 5
software needed to setup your IP system, including the application setup, the camera firmware and setup
software (VNSetup). Be sure the ViconNet Workstation meets the minimum requirements, is running the
ViconNet application (version 5) (VNSetup) and has the proper PTZ camera driver. The VNSetup is found on
the included CD under software, IP Camera Setup. Refer to appropriate ViconNet documentation.
Network Considerations
The SurveyorVFT Camera Dome can be connected to any ViconNet network (Version 5 software). Kollector
Elite Recorders and ViconNet Workstations can be used for live viewing and recording of network-streamed
video. A network can be as simple as a single SurveyorVFT connected to a ViconNet Workstation or can be
complex with the addition of several networks interconnected via WAN.
42 • 6BConfiguration XX134-07-00 Rev 908 SurveyorVFT Camera Dome System
When adding a SurveyorVFT IP Camera to the ViconNet network, the following items must be considered:
• The number of cameras on a switch with respect to switch capabilities and system bandwidth mapping.
• Bandwidth limitations on ports connected to workstations (using 100 or 1000 Mbps).
• Workstation capabilities such as processing speed, disk write speed and display card strength.
• Storage size and location types including local Workstation recording, attached SCSI RAID and
integrated NAS/SAN devices.
The default parameters on the IP dome are:
Factory DefaultsNetwork Defaults
IP address
Nucleus IP address
Net Mask address
Gateway address:
: [10.10.10.1] IP address: [1.1.1.2]
: [1.1.1.1] Nucleus IP address: [1.1.1.1]
: [255.255.255.0] Net Mask address: [255.255.255.0]
[0.0.0.0] Gateway address: [1.1.1.1]
On first startup, the camera will attempt to establish connection to the Nucleus with the default address
(1.1.1.1). Connecting it to an active Nucleus is done through the VNSetup utility.
Note: When connecting to ViconNet application version 5, the number of concurrent users viewing video
from the same device cannot exceed 10 users.
Groups and Users Restrictions
ViconNet allows creating Multiple Groups and Users in order to limit the rights to different levels. For more
information on how to create Users and Groups, refer to the latest revision of ViconNet manual XX113.
Although the ViconNet software does not limit the number of Groups and Users that can be created, the
SurveyorVFT Camera Dome has Users and Groups limitations. For ViconNet version 5, the dome can
support the first 20 Groups (including Administrators and Guests) and the first 100 Users.
Configuring the Network Settings
Note: Before starting, make sure that VNSetup is installed on the configuring PC\workstation. Installation is
done using the CD included.
There are two ways to change the IP dome network settings:
• Activating the camera for the first time: via VNSetup application.
• Connecting the camera to an active Nucleus: via ViconNet application (connection to same Nucleus as
the camera is necessary).
Note: In order to install firmware, the PC and camera must be on the same IP network.
Using the VNSetup Utility
VNSetup consists of several TABs. Each TAB provides different functionalities.
Note: Once the IP Camera Setup is run the first time, a shortcut is placed on the desktop for future use.
1. Make sure the MAC address and password of the camera is available. Use MAC Address log provided.
2. Verify that the camera is physically connected to the configuring workstation via the network.

Maintenance
The SurveyorVFT requires no scheduled maintenance; however, the Lower Domes require occasional
cleaning. The Chrome and Gold Domes are referred to as Metallized type domes. The Clear and Smoked
Domes are referred to as Acrylic type domes. All domes require careful handling and occasional cleaning.
Care and Cleaning of Metallized Domes
1. Always handle the lower dome by the flange and avoid touching the inside surface, as acid in a fingerprint
can etch the internal coating. Use the recommended cleaning procedure in Step 4.
2. If dust or dirt accumulates in the lower dome's interior, remove it with clean, dry pressurized air.
3. If spots, streaks or stains appear on the interior, they can be removed by rinsing with clean water and
drying with clean, dry pressurized air. Do not rub the inner surface.
CAUTION: Rubbing the inner surface of metallized lower domes can cause permanent scratches that may
render the dome unusable.
4. If cleaning of the inner surface is necessary, use a wick. Make a wick by rolling a section of soft
microwave-safe (aluminum free) paper towel into a tightly wound tube and tear it in half. Moisten the torn
edge of the wick with an approximate solution of 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% water. Hold the Lower
Dome upside down and gently wipe the inner surface from the inside to the outer edge. Use a new wick
for each 2 passes over the dome.
5. Clean the lower dome's exterior with any soft, nonabrasive cleaning cloth and a cleaning agent suitable
for acrylic plastic. Either liquid or spray cleaner (wax suitable for fine furniture) is acceptable.
Care and Cleaning of Smoked and Clear Acrylic Domes
1. Always handle the lower dome by the flange and avoid touching the inside surface.
2. If dust or dirt accumulates in the lower dome's interior, remove it with clean, dry pressurized air.
3. If spots, streaks or stains appear on the interior or exterior, they may be removed with an approximate
solution of 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% water using a soft microwave-safe (aluminum free) paper
towel. Dry with clean, dry pressurized air.
4. Scratches or surface blemishes on the interior or exterior may be removed with a nonabrasive wax using
a nonabrasive cleaning cloth. Either liquid or spray cleaner (wax suitable for fine furniture) is acceptable.
CAUTION: Excessive rubbing of the lower dome surface can cause permanent scratches that may render
the dome unusable.
5. Clean all surfaces with any soft, nonabrasive cleaning cloth and a cleaning agent suitable for acrylic
plastic.
Fuse Replacement
Two fuses (F1 and F2) are located on the underside of the customer interface board. Refer to Figure 29.
When necessary, replace them with the following fuse values:
F1: 5 x 20 mm, 1.6 amp, 250 volt, slo-blo
F2: 5 x 20 mm, 2.5 amp, 250 volt, slo-blo

Coaxial Cable Recommendations
Caution: Careful selection of 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, or equivalent, are installed. In all cases, coaxial cable
impedance should be 75 ohms.
Materials
Use only a pure copper center conductor. Do not use a copper-plated steel or aluminum center conductor, as they will
result in poor quality video. Solid-core bare copper conductor is the best type, where flexing and bending will be minimal. If
severe bending and flexing is required for installation, use a stranded center conductor. Never exceed the manufacturer’s
minimum bend radius specification. Use cellular (foam) polyethylene dielectric except where heavy moisture exists. For
moisture conditions, use solid polyethylene dielectric cable with a heavy exterior insulation. The shield must be copper
braid providing 95% or better coverage.
Cable Types
The cable types listed below are the most common 75-ohm types used. They vary in size (diameter), dielectric type and
net DC resistance. The larger cable results in a lower DC resistance and better video quality, with increased difficulty in
handling and installation. Let the required picture quality and cable distance provide a guide in choosing the best cable
type. For cables other than the approved Vicon types below, contact the manufacturers listed below. Note that “BC” refers
to bare copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.
