Housings

The V7USD-V2 is the indoor Housing for the Surveyor system. It can be suspended from a piece of 1.5-inch
pipe or Vicon mount (pendant), directly to a Solid (Hard) Ceiling or into a Dropped (suspended) ceiling via a
structural grid assembly. All required installation hardware is supplied.

A plastic, color-coordinated Trim Ring is included with the Housing. This Trim Ring is used for hard and
suspended ceiling installations. It is equipped with four tabs for attachment to slots in the Housing. In
addition, four circular knockouts can be removed for attachment to a Solid Ceiling via screws.

The V7USD-W-VS is the Outdoor Housing. It is comprised of the V7USD-V2 Housing, a Sunshield, internal
Heater and Blower assembly, a modified Trim Ring and a clear Lower Outdoor Dome. An optional chrome
metallized Lower Outdoor Dome is available.

The Trim Ring for the Surveyor Outdoor Housing is specially fitted with a foam barrier for outdoor
applications. It is referred to as Trim Ring with Foam Filter. This ring provides a Housing to Lower Outdoor
Dome seal.

CAUTION: For environments subject to moisture, use the outdoor Housing.

Drive Mechanism Assembly

The V7UVS-RPX is the variable-speed Drive for the Surveyor system. Integral to the frame is a precision
pan-and-tilt-Drive assembly, a two-piece PC Board Assembly, Camera and Lens platform and Housing
mechanism latch. It provides accurate positioning for the Camera and Lens Module.

Camera/Lens Module

The Camera/Lens Module comes in two basic types; high-resolution monochrome and color. All Camera and
Lens Modules boast an extremely small and lightweight package with advanced features. These Camera
Modules offer state-of-the-art technology in a compact size.

Lower Dome

The Lower Dome is a 7.75 inch (19.7 cm) diameter unit made of acrylic plastic. There are three versions of
this dome; smoke, chrome or gold finish.

V7UFR Fire-Resistant Shield

The V7UFR Fire-Resistant Shield is a metal cover for the indoor, ceiling mounted Housing. It is constructed
of sheet aluminum with an alodine finish. This cover is required by the fire code of certain local
municipalities. It was designed to attach to the Housing top four screw holes. It can be mounted with the
Dropped Ceiling kit or into a Solid Ceiling using the same hardware.

Switch 2 (S2) is used to set the Receiver address. Each
switch is numbered from 1 to 8 and marked to indicate the
ON position.

The Mini Dome can be connected to a NOVA (VPS)
system in one of two ways:

Half Duplex: This connection type allows two-way

command flow and requires two
individually-shielded twisted-pair cables.

Simplex: This connection type allows command

flow from the CPU to the Mini Dome only.
It requires only one shielded twisted pair
from the CPU to the Housing.

X971 Rev 1098 Surveyor Mini Dome System Drive Mechanism Assembly • 3

Both formats support 4800 and 9600 baud transmission rates. Surveyor’s baud rate must match the system’s
baud rate.

NOTE: When Surveyor is to be used in a system with mixed receiver types such as the V15UVS, V1311RB,

etc., the baud rate should be set 4800 baud to ensure proper communication.

Wiring

The types of wires that need to be installed are power, video, control, auxiliary outputs and alarm inputs. All
wiring cables enter the Housing through the top hole via the Cable Access Cap, Vicon mount or 1.5-inch­Pipe, depending upon the mounting method used. Refer to the Technical Information section for all electrical
requirements.

Power cables carry 24 VAC power and are usually a two-conductor type ranging in size from 20 to 12 AWG.
The power source should be a Class 2 indoor/dry or Class 3 outdoor/ wet rated type. The leads should be
connected to Terminal Block 2 (TB2), pin 1 [H - (hot)] and pin 2 [N - (neutral)]. Also, connect an 18 AWG wire
from TB1-8 (SHLD) to a solid earth ground (ex. water pipe). The size of the two-conductor cable depends on
indoor/outdoor application and cable distance as shown in the Technical Information Section.

Video cables carry the composite video signal and uses coaxial cable. The type of cable depends on the
cable distance as shown in the Reference Section. In Vicoax mode the video signal also carries the Control
signals.

Control cables carry RS-422 format digital signals and require individually-shielded twisted-pair sets. The
type of cable depends on the cable distance and number of wire pairs within a cable as shown in the
Technical Reference Section. There can be a maximum of four Control cables (twisted-pair sets), depending
on the mode selected, Simplex or Half-Duplex or chained through the Mini Dome. The Mini Dome has the
capability of being “daisy chained” to any other RS-422 format device, including another Mini Dome. It can
receive the signal and retransmit it to another device. See Table 3 below.

Note: If the Surveyor is not being connected in a daisy chain fashion, place a short jumper wire between TB1-

8 (SHLD) and TB1-10 (RIN-).

COMMAND IN (CIN): A signal from the CPU that causes some function to occur in the Mini Dome.

RESPONSE OUT (RO): A signal from the Mini Dome to the CPU in response to a COMMAND IN signal or

triggered by an alarm input.

COMMAND OUT (CO): A signal from the CPU that is received and retransmitted by the Mini Dome to

another RS-422 device.

RESPONSE IN (RIN): A signal from another RS-422 device received and retransmitted by the Mini Dome to

the CPU.

Table 3

X971 Rev 1098 Surveyor Mini Dome System Wiring • 15

Alarms are electronic TTL (transistor­transistor logic) type inputs that are driven
by a dry contact type switch. The switch
has two states, open and closed. For
example, in Figure 19, a door switch can
activate an alarm when connected to a Mini
Dome alarm input. These signals require
an unshielded twisted pair cable. As a
guideline (under normal conditions), the
cable should be 22 AWG for a 1000 foot
(305 m) distance The states correspond

Figure 19

Typical Alarm Circuit

to defined TTL designations as follows:

PEN = HIGH

CLOSED = LOW

where: HIGH = 5 VDC
LOW = < 1 VDC

Since dry contact switches are normally defined in terms of their inactive or “normal” state, the following holds
true: NORMALLY CLOSED (NC) = ACTIVE HIGH (OPEN)

NORMALLY OPEN (NO) = ACTIVE LOW (CLOSED)
The “active” state can be programmed through the Mini Dome menu system. 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), acknowledgement mode (automatic/manual) and report status (yes/no).

Auxiliary outputs are electronic open
collector type outputs which drive external
devices In Figure 20, a light can be turned
on and off when an auxiliary signal is
connected to a relay. Auxiliary signals can
be programmed for their active level
definition (high/low), power-on state
definition (on/off) and output type definition
(momentary or latching). For this example
the output must be defined as Active Low
(NO) and latching.

Each output can drive a relay at about 35
volts and 100 mA typical. There can be a
maximum of eight auxiliary outputs and
eight alarm inputs (twisted-pair sets).
Connect the DC voltage required for the
relay drive coil to TB3, pins 9 and 10. The
positive (+) side goes to pin 9, Common

Figure 20

Typical Auxiliary Output

and the negative (-) side goes to pin 10,
Ground. The relay drive IC will switch

negative connection (Ground) to the
appropriate output. In addition, the relay can be used as a set of dry contacts for a Normally Open device
input.

O

NOTE: For more information on auxiliary outputs refer to Vicon Technical Bulletin TB5156, “Application of

Open Collector Relay Outputs”.

Installing the Cables

WARNING: Disable the 24 VAC power to

prevent installer injury and
damage to the unit.

1. Route all cables into the top of the Mini
Dome through the electrical Conduit/Cable
Access Cap, Vicon mount or 1.5-inch Pipe.
Pull approximately 10 ft (3 m) of cable
through the Housing to allow convenient
wiring on a workbench.

2. Route all cables through the Customer
Interface Board’s Cable Clamp.

3. Remove terminal blocks TB1, TB2, TB3 and
TB4 from the Customer Interface Board by
pulling each straight out.

4. Strip approximately 8 inches (20 cm) of

Figure 21

Customer Interface Board

5. Strip approximately 0.25 inch (0.6 cm) of insulation off of each power, alarm and auxiliary wire.

6. Install a BNC male connector to the video (coaxial) cable.

7. Make all wiring connections to the terminal blocks as shown in Figure 21 and with reference to Table 4
and Table 8. In simplex configuration, the COMMAND IN + (CI+) and COMMAND IN - (CI-) terminals
must be connected. If the Surveyor is daisy-chained, the COMMAND OUT + (CO+) and COMMAND OUT

- (CO-) terminals must also be used. The response lines RO+, RO-, RIN+, and RIN- are used for Half­Duplex configuration only.

jacket off each Control cable. Then strip
approximately 0.25 inch (0.6 cm) of
insulation off of each Control cable wire.

WARNING: If Vicoax mode is being used, DO NOT wire TB1 for RS-422 mode, as this will cause the Mini

Dome program to lock up upon power-up.

8. Pull the cables back through the top of the Housing until approximately 12 inches (30.5 cm) of each cable
remains in the Housing.

9. Reinstall the terminal blocks TB1, TB2, TB3 and TB4 into to the Customer Interface Board at the proper
block frames.

WARNING: Failure to install the terminal blocks into the correct frames can cause damage to the CPU and

other electrical components in the Housing upon power-up.

10. Install the video BNC cable connector to the Customer Interface Board’s mating BNC connector.

11. Remove the screws from the Strain Relief Clamps and conveniently insert all wires. Screw the clamps
loosely back onto the board and pivot each Strain Relief Ring for optimum positioning. Conveniently
route the wires to their individual connections, leaving an approximate 3 inch (7.5 cm) loop in each wire.
Tighten the Strain Relief clamp screws. Pull the remainder of the cable back through the top of the
Housing until the wiring comfortably passes directly from the Cable Clamp to the top of the Housing.

Operation

Following the complete installation and setup of the Mini Dome, it is necessary to perform initial power-up
testing and verify proper operation. If the Surveyor fails to power-up correctly, a built-in diagnostic test can be
run to assist in troubleshooting. When initial power-up has been completed and verified, Surveyor can be
setup and operated in a normal fashion using a Vicon remote operator keypad, NOVA (VPS) unit or through a

PC running Protech software.

Initial Power-Up

Setup an appropriate monitor within the vicinity of
the Mini Dome. Connect the video out cable to an
appropriate monitor. Power-on the monitor and
verify that no signal is displayed.

1. Verify that the RUN/SERVICE Switch is in the
RUN position. If not, place it in the RUN
position and replace the Mask. No LEDs
should be illuminated.

2. Switch the 24 VAC power on to the Mini Dome.

Figure 28

Power-Up Test Screen

Figure 29

Opening Screen

The monitor displays the power-up test screen
(Figure 28) for the duration of testing and then
switches to the Surveyor opening screen
(Figure 29). When Surveyor is powered-up,
information is displayed to confirm current DIP
Switch settings.

3. 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 “OK.”

4. Upon completion of these tests, the Drive
Mechanism moves slightly, to find its home
position. It pans a few degrees and returns to
its original pan position then tilt a few degrees
and find its original tilt position. Upon
completion of homing, the Mini Dome is ready
to verify proper operation.

NOTE: The Drive Mechanism always returns to the

pan and tilt coordinates it was initially
powered-up with.

Running the Diagnostic Test

The diagnostic test was designed to cycle the
Mini Dome through all its functions. A cycle
consists of a specific series of steps which are
initiated for predefined dwell periods. Each
step is displayed on the viewing monitor.
Completion of each step can be confirmed by
simultaneously comparing the monitor prompts
with the actual action of the Mini Dome. The
cycle is repeated indefinitely until operator
intervention occurs. The cycle steps are as
follows:

To run the built-in diagnostic it is necessary to disassemble the dome. Refer to the Section “Disassembling
the Mini Dome” for specific instructions.

1. Set the RUN/SERVICE Switch to the RUN position.

2. Disassemble the Mini Dome.

3. Set switches 1,2 and 3 of DIP Switch 5 (S5) to the ON position.

4. Reinstall the Drive into the Housing. Refer to Section “Installing the Drive Mechanism” to continue.

5. Set the RUN/SERVICE switch to the SERVICE position. The Mini Dome runs its power-up test and
immediately runs the diagnostic test. The diagnostic test continues to loop until the RUN/SERVICE
Switch is set back to the RUN position. See Table 5 for the exact diagnostic routine.

To disable the diagnostic test and return the Mini Dome back to normal operation, place the RUN/SERVICE
switch back to the RUN position, remove the Drive, reset the DIP switches, reinstall the Drive and place the
switch into the SERVICE position.

Maintenance

The Surveyor Mini Dome requires no scheduled maintenance, however the Domes require occasional
cleaning .

CARE AND CLEANING OF METALLIZED DOMES

1. Always handle the Dome by the flange and avoid touching the inside surface as acid in a fingerprint can
etch the coating. Use the recommended cleaning procedure in Step 4.

2. If dust or dirt accumulate in the dome's interior, it should be removed with clean dry pressurized air.

3. If spots, streaks or stains appear on the inner Dome, they can be removed by rinsing with clean water
and drying with clean, dry pressurized air. Do not rub the inner surface.

CAUTION: Rubbing on the inner Dome surface can cause permanent scratches

4. If wiping is necessary, use a wick. Make a "wick" by rolling a section of soft paper towel into a tightly
wound tube and tear it in half. Moisten the torn edge of the wick with a solution of mild soap and water.
Hold the Dome upside down and gently wipe the surface from the inside to the outer edge. Then, rinse
with clean water and dry with clean, dry pressurized air.

5. Clean the Dome's exterior with any soft cleaning cloth and a mild glass cleaner suitable for acrylic plastic.

CARE AND CLEANING OF CLEAR ACRYLIC DOMES

1. Always handle the Dome by the flange and touching the inside surface.

2. If dust or dirt accumulate in the dome's interior, it should be removed with clean dry pressurized air.

3. If spots, streaks or stains appear on the inner Dome, they can be removed with a solution of mild soap or
isopropyl alcohol and water using a lint-free soft paper towel. Dry with clean, dry pressurized air.

4. Scratches or surface blemishes may be removed with a nonabrasive wax using a soft cleaning cloth

CAUTION: Excessive rubbing of the Dome surface can cause permanent scratches.

5. Clean the Dome's surfaces with any soft cleaning cloth and a mild glass cleaner suitable for acrylic

Coaxial 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. In all cases, coaxial cable impedance should be 75 ohms.

Materials

Use only cable with a pure copper center conductor. Do not use cable with either a copper-plated steel or an aluminum
center conductor because these do not transfer signals effectively in the frequency range used in CCTV networks. A
center conductor with low DC resistance is required for effective CCTV operation. Solid-core bare copper conductor is
best suited to video applications, except where flexing occurs. If the coaxial cable will be subjected to flexing during
normal use, select a cable with a stranded center conductor. The preferred dielectric material is cellular (foam)
polyethylene. It has better electrical characteristics than solid polyethylene, but is more vulnerable to moisture. Therefore,
use only solid polyethylene dielectric cable with a heavy exterior insulation in applications subject to moisture.

Cable Types

The most commonly used cable types are RG-59/U and RG-11/U. Each is actually a family of cables with widely varying
electrical characteristics, some of which are not suitable for CCTV applications.

Choose a cable type by referring to the characteristics and maximum distances listed below. The maximum distance for
best picture refers to the distance between the receiver and the transmitter. The characteristics of the cables in this table
should be used as a guideline when cables other then Belden are used. Materials and construction must follow the
guidelines above. Note that “BC” refers to bare copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.

Amplification

When Vicoax systems are used with bidirectional amplification a significant increase in the usable cable distance is shown
in the last column of this table. The V1921BDA Bidirectional Amplifier may only be used with the “standard Vicoax mode”.
This amplifier will not work when the Surveyor is in V1422 mode.

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 conductor with or without a tin plating to obtain a low DC resistance. Do not use cable with
either a steel or an aluminum stranded conductor because these do not transfer signals effectively for long distances. The
preferred insulation and cable jacket is Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It has better electrical characteristics than polyethylene
and resists flames, sunlight and most solvents, but is more vulnerable to moisture.

Cable Types

The most commonly used cable types are dual individually-shielded, twisted-pair in a single jacket. This configuration is
the most convenient for RS-422/ RS485 applications. Single twisted-pair is also a suitable cable.

Choose a Belden cable type by referring to the characteristics and maximum distances listed below. The maximum
distance for the most reliable digital control refers to the distance between the CPU/ Keypad and the Dome. The
characteristics of the cables in this table should be used as a guideline when cables other then Belden are used. Materials
and construction must follow the guidelines above.
