SurveyorVFT Fixed Dome Components

The SurveyorVFT fixed camera dome units consist of an enclosure/housing, a camera mechanism, a shroud, and
a smoked (indoor) or clear (outdoor) lower dome.

Enclosure

The enclosure is a metal shell that houses the camera mechanism for the in-ceiling model. A safety cord and clip
are provided to connect to the camera mechanism during installation. In addition, a small hole is provided on the
side of the enclosure for connection of the lower dome’s safety cord. A removable top cover, a 0.75-inch (19 mm)
conduit fitting and a pair of rotating flippers that give a convenient and sturdy connection of the enclosure into the
ceiling are provided. For in-ceiling installations that do not use conduit pipe, a 0.75-inch (19 mm) strain relief
fitting provides solid cable anchoring at the enclosure.

Camera Mechanism

The camera mechanism includes an integral camera/lens combination, with a color camera and a varifocal lens. It
is designed for easy “snap-in” installation into the enclosure or housing. The camera/lens position can be
manually adjusted. The integral PC board provides wiring connections. For outdoor units, a thermostatically­controlled heater is provided for temperature control.

Shroud

The shroud is a 5.4 in. (137 mm) textured black ABS plastic shell. It has a 1.4 in. (35.6 mm) slotted opening for
the camera. This shroud conceals the position of the camera and snaps onto the camera drive.

Lower Dome

The lower dome is an assembly comprised of a 5.9 inch (150 mm) diameter acrylic plastic shell, a trim ring and a
safety cord. Lower domes for indoor versions come in a choice of smoked, chrome or gold finishes. Standard
outdoor lower domes are clear and use 4 screws for additional support. All lower domes are anchored to the
enclosure by the safety cord. Refer to the Maintenance section for care.

Housing

The housing for the SurveyorVFT fixed indoor pendant configurations is a molded plastic protective cover for the
camera mechanism; outdoor pendant configurations have 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. Another safety cord connects the lower dome to the
housing.

Sunshield

A sunshield pre-installed over the housing used on the outdoor pendant version is for radiation sun-blocking
protection.

CAUTION: For any environment subject to moisture, use the outdoor pendant model.

Mounting the Unit

In-Ceiling Mounting

The SurveyorVFT fixed dome rests on the ceiling material and occupies the space between the lower ceiling
and upper building frame. There are two methods of installation. The first method can be used for ceilings
with no access to the space above, as in a typical hard material ceiling. The second method is used for a
ceiling with access, as in the case of a dropped ceiling (metal grid type). All mounting hardware is provided.
Refer to the section on Optional Independent Support for installations requiring additional support (most
commonly, a dropped ceiling).

Using the Provided Scribe

A small metal scribe is provided to assist in marking an accurate hole size in a ceiling tile. Use it as follows.

1. Place the ceiling tile on a large flat surface, face up.

2. Measure and make a small mark at position A from any corner (11.9 in./302 mm). Refer to Figure 1.

3. Measure and make a small mark at position B (8.2 in./208 mm), placing the scribe as perpendicular to the
A-edge as possible.

4. Place the scribe across B and C. Rotate the scribe around center C for a full turn.

5. Cut out the circle using a sharp tool on the scribed line.

Mounting from Below the Ceiling

Use this method of installation if there is no access to the space above. The ceiling material must provide
suitable strength to support the weight of the SurveyorVFT fixed dome with the two flippers on the enclosure.
Be sure the area around the selected location is clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers, pipes,
electrical wiring, etc.) that would interfere with mounting. Video, sync, and power cables must be routed to the
location.

1. Mark with the scribe and cut a 7-3/8 in. (187 mm) hole in the ceiling at the desired location. Remove the
tile from a dropped ceiling if necessary. Feed all necessary flexible conduit pipe or cables down through
the hole.

There are two potentiometers on the camera. VR1 on the back board is for

If there is more than one unit in a system, the cameras have to be synchronized to ensure there is no roll of
video. If the camera will be used in a line lock video application, the camera interface board is already set in
li
line-locking synchronization using a V-phase
re
camera’s line lock to reduce “video jump” on its monitor during camera switching. The V-phase pot allows
video to power line phase adjustment up to 180°. If more than 180° of adjustment is required, swap the lines
attached to the 24 VAC terminal block connector. Be sure that the selector DIP switch is set to position “LL”.
Note that the performance of the camera’s line lock depends on the quality of the power source. If the camera
experiences roll or jitter due to the quality of the power source, then it is best to set the camera to internal
“crystal” mode. This is done by setting the selector switch to “INT.”

The adjustment for the line lock V-phase (VR1) is on the bottom board of the camera.

Autoiris Adjustments

On autoiris lenses, iris adjustment may be required if the picture appears dark or grainy or has poor color. To
obtain the sharpest picture possible, the iris adjustment should be made from a “full bright” setting down to an
acceptable video level. This assures that the internal AGC of the camera is not operational. There is a
potentiometer to adjust the DC level for autoiris; potentiometer VR1 is on the camera front board. Refer to
Figure 5. Use a small jeweler’s screwdriver to make adjustments. Turning the potentiometer opens and
closes the iris to regulate light extremes. Turning the potentiometer clockwise opens the iris wider, allowing
more light. Autoiris control is DIP switch selectable.

Operation

When power is applied to the camera, the SurveyorVFT fixed dome views the selected scene.

Maintenance

The SurveyorVFT Fixed Camera Dome requires no scheduled maintenance except for the occasional
cleaning of the lower dome.

Care and Cleaning of Lower Dome

1. Always handle the lower dome by the flange and avoid touching the inside surface.

2. If dust or other contaminants accumulate in the dome’s interior, they should be removed with clean dry air

pressure (compressed air cans).

3. If spots, streaks or stains appear on the interior or exterior, they can be removed with a solution isopropyl

alcohol and water using a microwave-safe (aluminum free) paper towel. Dry with clean, dry pressurized
air.

4. Scratches or surface blemishes on the exterior or interior may be removed with a nonabrasive wax using

a soft nonabrasive cleaning cloth. Either liquid or spray cleaner/wax suitable for fine furniture is
acceptable.

Caution: Excessive rubbing of the dome’s surface can cause permanent scratches that may render the

dome unusable.

5. Clean all surfaces with any soft nonabrasive cleaning cloth and cleaning agent suitable for acrylic plastic.

Caution: For warranty protection, implement this instruction exactly as stated.

Fuse Replacement

There is a fuse located in the SurveyorVFT. When necessary, replace it with a fuse of the same value, 0.5 A,

Reference

Coaxial cables used to route video signals to and from the unit must meet the video recommendations in this section.

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 pr
