Warning: Power must be removed from this unit before removing circuit modules or ribbon cables.
Caution: This unit contains circuit cards with integrated circuit devices that can be damaged by static
discharge. Take all necessary precautions to prevent static discharge.
Coaxial Cable Recommendations
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 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. The shield must be copper braid providing 95% or better coverage.
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 camera and the unit. The characteristics of the cables in this table should be used as a guideline when
cables other than Belden are used. Materials and construction must follow the guidelines above. Note that “BC” refers
to bare copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.

iv •• Important Safeguards X992 Rev 202 V1305R-DC
Introduction
The information in this manual covers the installation, operation, and maintenance for the V1305R-DC VariableSpeed Receiver. This equipment should only be installed by a qualified technician us ing approved materials in
accordance with national, state, and local electrical codes. Read these instructions through completely before
attempting installation.
The V1305R-DC receiver is designed to provide variable-speed control of Vicon’s ViStar25 series of pan-and-tilts
and Vicon motorized zoom lenses; the receiver is factory set to operate these units and no further option
settings are required. The receiver controls pan, tilt, zoom and focus as well as providing an autoiris drive. The
receiver may be used with any NOVA™ (RS -422) control system or a Vicoax II (V1422) control system. Refer to
Table 1 for model/system compatibility. The term V1305R-DC is used to refer to all versions of the receiver
unless specifically stated otherwise.
The receiver is designed to work in two modes, velocity mode and preset position mode. In velocity mode, pan
and tilt can operate together at any required combination of velocities. The maximum velocity is determined by
the pan-and-tilt drive. The velocity mode allows smooth motion at very low velocity. Using this mode, a complete
scan in the pan axis can be programmed to take up to 5 minutes. Focus and zoom can be operated
concurrently with pan and/or tilt. Two-speed operation of zoom and focus is provided.
The V1305R-DC can store up to 79 preset positions. Positions are stored in nonvolatile memory. A preset
position defines zoom and focus as well as pan and tilt. In preset position mode, software insures smooth
acceleration and deceleration, preventing the premature wearing out of the pan-and-tilt when using successive
preset position recalls to implement camera tours or using this mode on a long-term basis.
Two relays are provided in the receiver; two additional relays can be added with an optional board, Model
V1305R-R, which is mounted on the inside of the receiver cover. The relays operate remotely. Each relay output
may be configured separately to operate in either momentary or latching mode. In momentary mode, the relay
remains on only as long as the stimulus continues. In latching mode, the relay must be reset to remove the
condition.
The V1305R-DC is encased in a metal weatherproof enclosure. A 25 W heater option is available as an option,
Model V1305R-H. Seven compression fittings are provided for routing cable.
The V1305R-DC complies with FCC requirements for a Class A device and with European Community EMC
Directive 89/336 EEC and amendments 92/31/EEC. The product was subjected to the testing outlined in
European Normalization Standard (Emissions) EN55022, A1: 1995 and A2: 1997 Class B, (Harmonic
Emissions) EN61000-3-2: 1995, A1: 1998 and A2: 1998, (Flicker) EN61000-3-3: 1995 and (Immunity) EN501304: 1995 and A1: 1998.
All Vicon equipment is tested and inspected before leaving the factory. It is the carrier’s responsibility to deliver
the equipment in the same condition as it left the factory.
Inspection For Visible Damage
Immediately inspect the cartons upon delivery. Make a note of any visible damage on all copies of the carrier’s
freight bill.
Make sure the carrier’s agent (the person making the delivery) signs the note on all copies of the bill. If the agent
does not have claim forms, contact the carrier’s office.
Inspection For Concealed Damage
As soon as possible after delivery, unpack the unit and inspect it for concealed damage. Do not discard the
carton or packing materials. If the unit is damaged, contac t the carrier immediately and request forms for filing a
damage claim. Make arrangements for a representative of the carrier to inspect the damaged equipment. If the
equipment must be returned for repair, follow the Shipping Instructions at the end of this manual.
Physical Installation
The receiver must be installed at a location near the corresponding camera station to be controlled. The
maximum distance between the receiver and the camera station is determined by the maximum operating
distance of the motorized lens or the pan-and-tilt. In most cases, the pan-and-tilt is the determining factor in
calculating the maximum distance between the receiver and camera station. Refer to the instruction manuals for
those units. The V1305R-DC is designed to be mounted on a vertical surface with four M6 bolts (or equivalent).
The upper two holes have keyhole slots for ease of mounting.
Note: Be sure the power is disconnected from the unit while performing installation procedures. Do not apply
power until instructed to do so.
Caution: When installed outdoors, the receiver must be positioned with the cable entry fittings and the
connectors pointing downward. If it is necessary to mount the receiver in a different position, protect
the cable entry fittings and connectors from exposure to moisture. Be sure to seal any unused
fittings. Make sure the unit is properly grounded via the earth ground of the power cable.
Cover Removal
To open the cover of the V1305R-DC, remove the four (4) screws from the top of the unit. When the cover is
removed, it remains attached to the enclosure by a cord.
X992 Rev 202 V1305R -DC Installation •• 3
Auxiliary Functions
Four relay drives are available which operate remotely. Each relay output may be configured separately to
operate in a momentary or latching mode. The default setting for the auxiliary relays is momentary. The receiver
has two (2) installed relays that are rated 240 VAC or 30 VDC 5 A. These are normally open (NO) contacts. The
two (2) other relay drive outputs are rated at 50 mA and can be used to drive 2 relays on an option board or other
external relays as required.
Installing the Auxiliary Option Board
If additional relay driver outputs are needed, an option auxiliary relay board, Model V1305R-R, is available. This
option board is installed onto the receiver enclosure cover. Refer to Figure 1.
1. Snap the option board onto the four (4) standoffs on the inside front cover of the receiver.
2. Remove the connector provided on TB2 on the main board of the receiver.
3. Insert the connector from the V1305R-R into TB2 on the main board.
Note: The connector is keyed so it can only be inserted correctly.
4. Slip the sealing nut over the power cable with the threads facing toward the end of the cable. Position the
sealing nut approximately 10 inches (250 mm) from the end of the cable. Insert the end of the power cable
through the cable entry fitting and thread nut onto the fitting. Tighten the sealing nut firmly and secure the
power cable.
5. Strip off the outer cable covering of the three (3) conductors (HOT (LINE), NEUTRAL, and GROUND).
Remove approximately 0.25 inches (6 mm) of insulation from the end of each conductor.
6. Make power connections to TB1 on the option board according to the table below. Refer to Figure 1. Make
connections from TB4 to the relay device according to the table below. Tighten the screws on the terminal
block to secure the wires.

Heater Installation
A 25 W heater option, Model V1305R-H, is available. The heater increases the receiver’s operating temperature
range to -40° to 140° F (-40° to 60° C). The option works with 120 or 230 VAC input. When the temperature goes
below 32° F (0° C), the thermostat closes the heater circuitry to generate heat. When the temperature reaches
86° F (30° C), the thermostat opens the circuit to turn off the heater.
The heater option is installed onto the four standoffs located on the side of the receiver with the compression
fittings. Refer to Figure 1. The heater assembly snaps onto the standoffs by the four holes in the aluminum panel
of the assembly. When mounting the heater assembly, be sure to orient it so that the end with the brown and
red wires is closest to the power terminal block mounted in the receiver adjacent to the main PCB. The heater is
wired to the power terminal block.
4 •• Installation X992 Rev 202 V1305R -DC
Connect the brown wire to the same screw terminal that the other brown wire is connected to (L or HOT);
connect the red wire to the screw terminal that the blue wire is connected to (N or RETURN).
Wiring the Unit
The receiver has pluggable terminal blocks that may be inserted vertically or horizontally into the mating halves
on the PCB. To avoid confusion, use the vertical orientation at all times.
Caution: Be sure that the detachable part of the terminal block is properly inserted into the dovetails in the
permanent part of the terminal block; otherwise the connector is not properly mated.
Seven cable entry fittings are provided for routing of cables. All cables should be routed through cable entry
fittings and terminated at the appropriate terminal block. Use the closest entry fittings to the terminal block so
that congestion is minimized inside the unit. Refer to Figure 2.

Power Cable
The total power requirement for the camera station is needed in order to determine the proper cable gauge for
input power. To determine the total power requirement of the camera station, add up the requirements of all
individual components, including pan-and-tilt drive, housing accessories, receiver and other related equipment.
The V1305R-DC requires a maximum of 50 W. Choose the appropriate cable gauge for the total power
requirement. Vicon strongly recommends the use of line conditioners, voltage regulators, and uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) systems.
Camera Statio n Cable
Vicon recommends that separate cables be used for pan-and-tilt, lens, alarm and auxiliary functions. Refer to
Table 2. Refer to Table 3 to choose the appropriate cable type per the maximum operating distance between the
receiver and the next component(s) in the line. All cable types except Belden 9182 are dual cable. Dual cables
have two twisted pairs of cables that are shielded to prevent communications between the two sets. Each pair is
enclosed by a shield. The shield includes a stranded conductor, the “drain,” that allows the shield to be
connected to a ground. Therefore, a dual cable has six conductors: two conductors plus a ground in each of two
sets of conductors plus a ground in each of two sets of conductors. Belden 9182 is not dual cable - it contains
two conductors and a shield for a total of three conductors. Be sure to ground all cables connecting the receiver
to the pan-and-tilt on both ends. The V1305R-DC provides several grounding tabs (Figure 1). Refer to the
instruction manual for the pan-and-tilt (X940 for ViStar) for grounding that device.

Control Signal Cabling
The cable used to route control signals between the control system and the receiver depends upon the type of
control system used, NOVA (RS -422) or Vicoax II.
NOVA Control System
If the receiver is being used with a NOVA control system, model V1305R-DC1 or V1305R-DC1-230 is used.
Some system choices must be made to determine the number of cables required to use the V1305R-DC1 with a
NOVA control system.
NOVA communications permit the connection of the receiver in either a star or daisy-chain configuration, as
shown in Figure 3. The star configuration requires the use of a Distribution Line Control (DL). Refer to the
instruction manual for the DL as necessary. The relative location of the receiver in the configuration is one of the
factors which determines the required number of cables. Decide which receiver configuration will be used.
NOVA control systems offer both simplex and duplex operation. Command signals, which send control
information from the control system to the receiver, are always required. Response signals are used to transmit
information such as the activation of alarms and communication failures to the NOVA control system. Simplex
operation requires the use of only command signals; duplex operation requires the use of both command and
response lines. Choose either simplex or duplex operation.
Refer to Table 3 to choose the appropriate cable type per the maximum operating distance between the receiver
and the next component(s) in the communications line.
All cable types except Belden 9182 are dual cable. Dual cables have two twisted pairs of cables that are
shielded to prevent communications between the two sets. Each pair is enclosed by a shield. The shield
includes a stranded conductor, the “drain,” that allows the shield to be connected to a ground. Therefore, a dual
cable has six conductors: two conductors plus a ground in each of two sets of conduc tors. Belden 9182 is not
dual cable - it contains two conductors and a shield for a total of three conductors.
Determine the number of cables to be connected for simplex operation based on the receiver configurat ion (star
or daisy-chain) using Table 4.
Table 4
Simplex Operation
Number of Cables to be Connected
Cable Type Star Daisy-Chain
Belden 9182 1 2
Duplex Operation
Both command and response connections are required for duplex operation. Using Table 5, determine the
number of cables to be connected for duplex operation based on the receiver configuration (star or daisy-chain)
and the cable type chosen.
The V1305R-DC2 and V1305R-DC2-230 receivers are compatible with Vicoax II controlled systems using the
NOVA V1422 control system. Vicoax control and video signals are transmitted via coaxial cable. Refer to
Coaxial Cable Recommendations in this manual and choose a suitable cable type.
It is not necessary to perform the cable selection described in Video Cabling because the control and video
signals are sent through the same coaxial cables.
Video Cabling
All systems require two coaxial cables, one to route video from the camera to the receiver (VIDEO IN in receiver)
and one from the receiver to the matrix switcher or control system (VIDEO OUT in receiver). Follow the
requirements in Coaxial Cable Recommendations.
Main PCB Connections
The main PCB is located on the bas e of the receiver enclosure. Refer to Figure 4 as necessary throughout this
section. Cables are routed through the cable entry fittings shown in Figure 2. It does not matter which cable
entry fitting the cables are routed through; to avoid congestion, however, try to select the entry fitting closest to
the appropriate terminal block.
Caution: Take care to install only one cable per fitting or water could enter the enclosure and damage the
receiver.
Note: Be sure to route wires away from the heater, if installed.

Video Input and Control from Transmitter Connections
Video from the camera enters the receiver via the video input BNC connector. The video output connector routes
that video to the transmitter/monitor. The control signals from the transmitter enter the receiver via the video
output connector.
Video In and Video Out Connections
Connect the video cable from the camera to one of the BNC connectors on the receiver PCB. Refer to Figure 4.
Connect the cable from the second BNC connector to the VIDEO IN connector on the Vicoax II V1422
transmitter. For NOVA control systems, make sure control signal connections are complete.
Control Settings
The receiver has three (3) control switches on the PCB, a 2-pole MODE switch, an 8-pole OPTION/address
switch and a push button. There is also an LED that indicates the successful completion of certain operations.
The ON direction is marked on the switches. The MODE switch has four (4) states:
0 - normal operation
1 - option 1
2 - option 2
3 - test mode.
When both poles of the MODE switch are OFF (0), the OPTION switch selects the address of the receiver. The
receiver only responds to serial communication when these switches are off. The V1305R-DC1 can be set to any
address between 1 and 255, provided that no other receiver on the data line is given the same address. The
V1305R-DC2 in all circumstances should only be addressed as 1. When the MODE switches are set to 1 or 2,
configuration options can be set.
18 •• Installation X992 Rev 202 V1305R -DC
To set the address selection DIP switch, refer to Table 14 below. Make sure both poles of the MODE switch are
OFF.

Option 1 Setting
Option 1 setting requires MODE switch pole 1 to be ON and pole 2 to be OFF. The OPTION switch can then be
set. The V1305R-DC is factory set with pole 8 OFF for the standard and preset ViStar25. If a continuous rotation
model, VIST25-VRP, is being used, pole 8 should be set to ON. All the other pole settings are for non-Vicon
equipment; they should be left OFF when using the ViStar25.
When the switch is set up, press the push button. The yellow LED, which normally gives a brief flash once per
second to indicate correct processor operation, flashes rapidly for 2 seconds to indicate that the required
parameters are stored.
Note: Be sure to select ALL required parameters before pressing the push button.
After setting configuration options, be sure to reset the OPTION switch to the receiver address and
both MODE switches to OFF.
Option 2 Setting
Option 2 setting requires MODE switch pole 1 to be OFF and pole 2 to be ON. The OPTION switch settings
then have the significance shown in Table 15.
*Set as a factory default.
When the switches are set up, press the push button. The yellow LED, which normally gives a brief flash once
per second to indicate correct processor operation, flashes rapidly for 2 seconds to indicate that the required
parameters are stored.

Electronic Limit Stops Setting
When using a ViStar25 with preset capability (VIST25-VP or VIST25-VRP), software pan and limit stops are
provided in the receiver. The limit stops are stored in nonvolatile memory. This feature is implemented by the use
of five specific preset numbers.
Preset 95 - pan right limit stop
Preset 96 - pan left limit stop
Preset 97 - tilt up limit stop
Preset 98 - tilt down limit stop
Preset 99 - clears all limit stops
To store a limit stop, position the pan-and-tilt at the desired location in the axis and direction chosen. Switch the
Program Run Switch to Program, press PP enter, the preset number and PP enter a second time. For example,
“PP enter 95 PP enter” sets the pan right limit stop. Both limit stops for each axis (pan and tilt) must be
installed. These electronic limit stops should be set within any mechanical limit stops to allow for pan-and-tilt
stopping distance and no limit stop should be set outside the travel range of the unit.
There is no effect if limit stops are not set. The Clear All Presets mode has no effect on these settings.
Test Mode Setting
When MODE switch poles 1 and 2 are ON, the test mode is active. Poles 1 to 4 on the OPTION switch then
form a code giving the following operations:
Code 0 - Pan right
Code 1 - Pan left
Code 2 - Tilt up
Code 3 - Tilt down
Code 4 - Zoom in
Code 5 - Zoom out
Code 6 - Focus near
Code 7 - Focus far
Code 8 - Iris open
Code 9 - Iris close
Code 10 - Aux1 function
Code 11 - Aux2 function
Code 12 - Aux3 function
Code 13 - Aux4 function
Code 14 - Set autoiris level (see below).
With the exception of autoiris, the above operations are active only while the push button is being pressed.
After performing the test mode, be sure to reset the OPTION switch to the receiver address and both
MODE switches to OFF.

Clear All Presets
If the OPTION switch is set as in Table 16, the MODE switch poles both set to ON and the push button is
pressed, all preset positions are cleared and the LED fast flash is triggered.

Setting OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON
After performing the settings in this configuration, be sure to reset the OPTION switch to the receiver
address and both MODE switches to OFF.
Autoiris Setting
Two modes of iris control are provided. In manual iris mode, control is via the serial data link. In autoiris mode,
the iris is controlled by the receiver to obtain a nearly constant preset video level. It is possible to make a
motorized iris lens operate as an autoiris lens using the Autoiris mode. If using this mode, it is necessary to set
up the video level.
Select Autoiris mode either from the keyboard or using Code 14 in the test mode described above. With the
camera video connected through the receiver PCB via the BNC connectors and the video properly terminated by
75 ohms, adjust the video level by slow rotation of potentiometer RV1 in the center of the PCB. Refer to Figure
4. Adjust the potentiometer until a 1 V p-p signal or a properly contrasted picture is produced when viewing a
scene which does not have large areas of high light or strong contrast.
When in the Autoiris mode, the software ensures that hunting (iris flutters while searching for proper position)
does not occur on bright scenes. However, if very bright scenes are to be viewed, the use of a neutral spot filter
is recommended.
Finishing Installation
When installation is complete, close the cover the receiver. Be sure that the grounding strap is properly
connected at either end and that the rubber seal is in place. Secure the cover with the with the four (4) screws.
