Introduction

The information in this manual covers the installation, configuration and operation of the SurveyorVFT
SVFT-M Camera Dome. 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.

NOTE: Read all instructions before beginning any installation.

The SVFT-M SurveyorVFT Maximum Security Camera Dome (SVFT-M) is a compact, lightweight intelligent
security device comprised of a camera, pan/tilt drive, receiver and CPU-based electronics all in an attractive
and covert rugged enclosure. The SVFT-M offers a rugged, tamperproof, IP66-rated housing for the Camera
Dome consisting of an all metal housing and an impact-resistant polycarbonate lower dome. SVFT-M can be
programmed and operated using any V1300X/V1400X/1500 series of NOVA communication devices and
enhanced Vicoax II protocol. Refer to Table 1 for a complete list of model numbers.

The basic SVFT-M provides video transmission over coaxial cable. Options are available that provide TCP/IP
(ViconNet), fiber-optic and twisted-pair (UTP/NVT) video transmission. Each of these options includes an
interface board that allows the specific type of video transmission. An appropriate receiver is required for
UTP/NVT and fiber optic versions. The ViconNet option provides support for direct network connection to
Kollector Elite Digital Video Recorders and ViconNet Workstations via ViconNet Version 5 software. A pre­installed LAN interface board allows direct plug-in to a system network hub, switch or router. Video from the
camera is available to all network recorders and workstations for live view and recording. The Vicon SVFT-M
camera dome can be used in conjunction with competitive PTZ drivers through DIP switch selection. Audio
input capability is available on the ViconNet version.

The SVFT-M is designed for easy snap-in installation. The drive simply snaps into the housing. When
removed, the housing retains all programmed functions in its on-board memory. The customer interface
board snaps down for easy access and the PCB provides removable terminal blocks for simple wiring
connections. Several mounting accessories are available to fit almost any installation need.

There are four camera types available, each with NTSC and PAL versions. The basic model is a 22X high­resolution camera/lens. Another 22X model is available with ExView CCD technology (22XEX). The third
version is a 23X day/night camera/lens with wide dynamic range. The fourth version is a 35X day/night
camera with image stabilization and wide dynamic range. See Technical Information for camera features.

Refer to tables below for specific model numbers and options available. Call your Vicon representative for
model availability. All versions use the same firmware for programming and operation. For programming,
refer to the most recent version of SurveyorVFT Programming Manual XX134-4X. The SVFT-M Camera
Dome is compatible with the SVFT-UWM and SVFT-WM Wall Mounts, SVFT-UCM Ceiling Mount, SVFT­URM-1 Roof Mount and SVFT-UPM-1 Parapet Mount.

SVFT-M meets requirements for an FCC Class A computing device. SVFT-M complies with the fire code of
certain local municipalities. The fire code for any given municipality should be verified for SVFT-M’s
compliance at the installation site.

The electronic components within the SVFT-M are sensitive to damage from ESD (Electro-Static Discharge).
Appropriate precautions and proper use of a ground strap should be observed at all times when handling the
unit or its subassemblies.

Detailed 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. The unit includes a sunshield, heater and weather protection.

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 SVFT-M 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 SVFT-M housing is hung from
the housing safety cord. Failure to do so could cause damage to unit or be a safety hazard. The SVFT-M
drive is then carefully snapped into the housing. The entire SVFT-M is supported by the mount. The lower
dome is then snapped on and screwed tight to the SVFT-M. See Figure 2. 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 SVFT-M weight of 9.6 lb (4.4 kg).

1. Install the mount in accordance with the
installation manual included with the mount or
prepare the vertical 1.5-inch NPT pipe.

2. Feed all necessary cables through the back of
the mount or out the end of the

1.5-inch NPT pipe.

3. Unlatch and rotate the customer interface
board 90º downward to provide access to the
terminal blocks. (The board can be completely
removed if necessary by snapping it out of the
hinge after rotated to the 90º downward
position.)

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 SVFT-M
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 NOVA/VPS digital signals and
require individually-shielded twisted-pair sets. The RS-422/485 signal carries the 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 SVFT-M 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 SVFT-M. Refer to the customer
interface board and Figure 6 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 6.

Half Duplex: This RS-422/485 protocol type allows two-way command and response flow between the

SVFT-M 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 SVFT-M

only requiring one shielded twisted-pair cable.

COMMAND IN ± (COMM IN): A signal from the CPU that causes some function to occur in the SVFT-M.
RESPONSE OUT ± (RESP OUT): A signal from the SVFT-M 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.

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 7, a door
switch can activate an alarm when connected to a SVFT­M 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 7

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 8. 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 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 6 for individual
customer interface board connections.

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.

Installing the Flash Upgrade and PC Direct Control

It is possible to upgrade software for the SVFT-M through a PC and to control the SVFT-M 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

SVFT-M.

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 SVFT-M 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 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. 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

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). See following figure.

Star Configuration System

Configuration

The SVFT-M must be configured for its address and mode and termination setting when using RS-422/RS­485 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 9 for DIP switch
location and Figure 10 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

For RS-422/485 Mode:

NOTE: Switch 4 must be set to RS-485 protocol to enable daisy chain operation; switch 4 must be set to

RS-422 protocol to enable star operation.

NOTE: All SVFT-Ms in a daisy chain or star configuration must have unique addresses for proper operation.

For Vicoax Mode:

1. Set switch 1 on DIP switch 2 (SW2) to the appropriate video mode (PAL or NTSC).

2. Set switch 2 on DIP switch 2 (SW2) to the ON position (Vicoax mode).

Operation

Figure 11

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.

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 SVFT-M. 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 SVFT-M camera drive to access the jumper sockets. Refer to the “Uninstalling the SVFT-M”
section of this manual.

2. Verify that all 3 jumpers are installed over the 2 pins for each socket on a SVFT-M that is the only unit in a
daisy chain or the last in line of a daisy chain.

3. Reassemble the SVFT-M and proceed to the Operation section of this manual for functional testing. Refer
to the Installation section of this manual.

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 11.

Configuring the ViconNet (IP/LAN) Version

The following information is provided when installing the ViconNet version of the SVFT-M (IP dome) only. The
SVFT-M 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 SVFT-M 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 SVFT-M connected to a ViconNet Workstation or can be complex
with the addition of several networks interconnected via WAN.

XX157-14-00 Rev 908 SVFT-M Maximum Security Camera Dome System 6BConfiguration • 27

When adding a SVFT-M 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 Defaults Network 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
SVFT-M has Users and Groups limitations. For ViconNet version 5, the video server 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.

Setup TAB

Note: Since the Setup configuration affects the entire installation process, it MUST be configured first.

In the Setup TAB, 3 fields are defined. The Upgrade files field indicates the installation upgrade directory. The
Log files field allows the user the ability to put a copy of log files in a predefined directory. Password
management selects a directory to save all password files. (By default, the setup files will be installed to

28 • 6BConfiguration XX157-14-00 Rev 908 SVFT-M Maximum Security Camera Dome System

C:\VUG.) In Password file status, the number of passwords stored is displayed. Load a list of passwords is
intended for very large sites only. Contact Technical Support to use this feature.

Setup

Select TAB

The Select TAB allows the user to select the relevant IP Unit in order to change its settings or to upgrade its
version.

1. From the Unit selection list, select the relevant IP product. In case of multiple sites, it is advised to use
the filter under the Unit Type field. Click on any column tab to sort names by that definition in ascending
or descending order.

2. Once the desired unit has been selected, notice the

icon, indicating a password protected unit. In
order to change the selected unit’s settings on the local PC that is running the VNSetup, a unique
password must be entered. The screen will display how many units there are and how many of those
are password protected (locked). A remote unit, as in systems using network routers and VLANS
(virtual LANs), will not display in the Unit selection list. If you want to select a remote unit, manually
enter the IP address in the IP address of remote unit field and click Find remote unit. The remote unit is
added to the list.

Note: This is correct for BIOS from version 1.0.10.86 and later (ViconNet version 3 and higher).

3. Password authentication
There are two authentication options. You can either authenticate a specific unit, by entering its
password, or use a Nucleus authentication, allowing you access to all units in the network.

3.1. Unit authentication - On the Unit password field, enter the unit password and press the Add
password button. Once approved, notice that the

icon has disappeared and the user may

proceed to next phase. The password will be saved on this unit.

Note: The unit password is supplied on the sticker with the MAC address in the camera package.

Operation

Following the complete installation and setup of the SVFT-M, it is necessary to perform initial power-up
testing and verify proper operation. If the SVFT-M fails to power-up correctly, go to the Troubleshooting sub­section of this section. 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.

Initial Power-Up

1. Setup an appropriate monitor within
the vicinity of the SVFT-M. Connect the
video out cable to the monitor. Power­on the monitor and verify that no signal
is displayed.

2. Verify that the SVFT-M has been
installed, wired and configured in
accordance with this manual.

3. Switch the AC power on to the SVFT­M. The monitor will display the power­up test screen (Figure 13) for the
duration of its initial testing. This test
displays the status of the functions
pan, tilt, zoom, focus and the integrity

of the memory (NVRAM). If any test
fails, “FAIL” displays in place of
“PASS.”

4. The SVFT-M then switches to the
opening screen (Figure 14). This
screen will display the camera dome
program version, current date/time and
some of the current DIP switch
settings. Upon completion of homing,
the SurveyorVFT is ready to verify
proper operation. (Note: Figure 14 is
only a sample screen.)

autohome on power-up was set.

Verifying Proper Operation

Set up a remote keypad via RS-422/485 or a NOVA/VPS CPU via RS-422/485 or Vicoax protocol to the
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. Slide the keypad’s PGM-RUN switch to the
PGM position.

2. Press the PP ENTER key; the PRESET LED
displays a blinking 0.

3. Press the 9 and 4 numeric keys in that order.

4. Press the PP ENTER key again. The PRESET
LED display remains with the number 94 and
the monitor displays the SurveyorVFT Main

verified.

Testing Preset 93

Use of the Auto-Baud Detect Feature

Auto-baud detect functions after installing defaults,
using preset 95, when switching Vicoax to NOVA
(VPS) and upon power-up when the dome sees an
incorrect baud rate from keypad or control system. It
allows the camera dome to detect a new baud rate
from the host controller without having to cycle AC
power. This feature is especially useful when the
camera dome will be set up remotely at one baud
rate and installed into a system having a different
baud rate. See Figure 16. (Note: Figure 16 is only a
sample screen.)

After configuration of SVFT-M is complete, set the
baud rate for the new host system before powering
down and disconnecting as follows:

Figure 16

1. Slide the keypad’s PGM-RUN switch to the
PGM position.

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.

5. The SVFT-M then switches to the opening screen (Figure 14). This screen will display the camera dome
program version, current date/time, the current address and a request to send communications to baud
detect. Move the joystick or press buttons to send commands and commence auto-baud detect.

Troubleshooting

If the SVFT-M does not power-up correctly, check the following:
⇒ Check if the power LED DP2 on the Customer Interface Board is on. If the voltage is too low, the LED will

stay off.

⇒ Verify, with a voltmeter, that 18 to 32 VAC is measured across TB1, pins 1 and 2. If not, check the

integrity of the power wiring. If less than 18 VAC is measured, it is probable that the power cable length is
too long. Check the maximum usable cable distance for the voltage input as stated in Table of the
Technical Information section. If 18 to 32 VAC is measured, return the SVFT-M back to factory for service
in accordance with the Shipping Instructions section of this manual.

⇒ If the last screen displays and does not disappear, the SVFT-M is not communicating with the control

device. Verify that the SVFT-M address is selected on the control device. Sometimes moving the joystick
can begin communication. If communication cannot be established, check the integrity of the control
signal wiring. If all wiring is correct, swap the camera drive and re-check. If the new camera drive
communicates, return the SVFT-M back to the factory for service in accordance with the Shipping
Instructions section of this manual.

⇒ If the SVFT-M is intermittently operational or operating independently, it is possible that the

communications (control) wiring is incorrect. Re-check proper placement of the control and response
signals on the terminal block. Also, verify that SW2, switch 3 is set for Half Duplex in a Half Duplex wired
SVFT-M.

⇒ If the SVFT-M powers up but does not display any video, it is possible that there is a poor video cable

connection. Verify that BNC connectors are attached at the camera dome and monitor/CPU. In addition,
verify that the cable is not damaged. It is common for the cable to be stretched or squashed somewhere
along its run. If possible, check the output locally, with a portable monitor, at the actual camera dome site.

Competitive Protocols

The SVFT-M Camera Dome can be operated by a number of competitive protocols. The tables below outline
how to use the functions on Pelco, Sensormatic, Kalatel, Ultrak, Panasonic, Philips and Cohu keypads.

Testing Conditions

Pelco: tested with the MPT9500 Controller and Pelco D protocol. SurveyorVFT should function with any
Pelco keypad using Pelco D protocol.
Sensormatic: tested using the AD Tracker 16 via RCSN422 SensorNet to RS422 converter. SurveyorVFT
should function with any Sensormatic (AD) keypad using SensorNet protocol.
Kalatel: tested with KTD-404, which requires a protocol converter KTD-410 to convert Kalatel’s Digiplex
protocol to ASCII RS-232 protocol; an RS-232 to RS-422 converter (with external power) is then required to
connect the SurveyorVFT. The SurveyorVFT in Kalatel mode is simplex 9600, n, 8, 1. SurveyorVFT should
function with any Kalatel keypad using Digiplex protocol.
Ultrak: tested with KEGS5000 keypad, which requires Ultrak control port adapter (RJ-11 connector to 1 x RS
485 and 1x RS-232 ports). For detailed information refer to Ultrak keypad user manual connection diagram.
Keypad communication interface is RS-485: 9600 baud. The SurveyorVFT in Ultrak mode is simplex with
event parity.8.1. SurveyorVFT should function with most Ultrak keypads using Ultrak KD6/KD6-Z protocol.
(Version of the supported protocol: Ultrak KD6/KD6-Z, release date June 2001.)
Panasonic: tested with WV-CU161 keypad, which does not require any port adapters. For detailed
information refer to Panasonic keypad user manual connection diagram. Set keypad communication protocol
to RS-485: 9600 baud, duplex, data bit 8, parity NONE, and stop bit 1. SurveyorVFT should function with
most Panasonic keypads that utilize Panasonic WV-CS850(A) ver 3.0 protocol. (Version of the supported

protocol: Panasonic WV-CS850(A) ver 3.0, release date October 2001.)
Philips: Tested with LTC-5136 series keypad, which requires Bosch LTC 8557 series and Qlty ICC-11

converters (both converters must be self powered) to resample the signal from RS-232 to RS-422 protocol.
For detailed information refer to Philips keypad user manual and converters user manuals. To enable Philips
protocol set SurveyorVFT SW2 DIP switch 7 to ON position. Switches 2-6 and 8 must be set to OFF.
Communication with the SurveyorVFT using Philips protocol is supported at RS-422: 9600 baud, data bit 8,
parity NONE, and stop bit is 1. SurveyorVFT should function with most Philips keypads using Philips
AutoDome TC8560/TC700 protocol. (Version of the supported protocol: Philips AutoDome TC8560/TC700
Series Release Date: March 2000.)
Cohu: Tested with WinMPC v4.2 software application, which requires Black Box RS 232 to RS 422 interface
converter. For detailed information on wiring diagram refer to Cohu iDome user manual. To enable Cohu
protocol set SurveyorSVFT SW2 DIP switches 5 and 7 to ON position. Switches 2, 6 and 8 must be set to
OFF. Communication with the SurveyorVFT using Cohu protocol is supported at RS-422: 9600 baud, data bit
8, parity NONE, and stop bit is 1. SurveyorVFT should function with most Cohu keypads that utilize Cohu
iDome/iView/LCU protocol. (Version of the supported protocol: Cohu iDome/iView/LCU Communication
Protocol – Rev 3.0. Release Date: March 2004.)

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. Vicon
recommends purchasing a single unit for bench testing prior to purchasing and installing this
product in quantity.

The Vicon SurveyorVFT is designed to store PTZ preset locations on the internal memory. Certain
manufacturers’ controllers are designed to store PTZ preset locations in the controller. Therefore
preset functionality in the Vicon dome will not work correctly with these types of controllers.

Maintenance

The SVFT-M requires no scheduled maintenance; however, the Lower Domes require occasional cleaning.
Domes require careful handling and occasional cleaning.

Care and Cleaning of Polycarbonate 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
