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.

Introduction
The NOVA V1422º Digital Control and Switching System is a self-contained, full-featured CCTV controller
which may be used with up to 32 camera stations and 8 monitor stations. The camera stations may contain
either NOVA (VPSº) or Vicoax receivers. NOVA receivers may be connected in either simplex mode,
which uses command lines only, or duplex mode, which provide command and response communication
between receivers and the V1422. The V1422 may also communicate with Vicoax receivers, which transmits
both video and control signals over coaxial cable. Vicoax and NOVA (simplex mode) receiver connections
provide a less expensive cabling cost than duplex communications.
The V1422 contains a built-in alarm interface for 32 alarm inputs and allows 32 receiver alarms. An auxiliary
device may be programmed to activate or deactivate during an active alarm. The common use of this feature
is to connect a VCR to the V1422, which is used to record alarm video. Alarm reports may be printed using a
serial line printer. A relay/audio switcher may be connected to the V1422, permitting simultaneous audible
and visual indication of alarms. The V1422 contains advanced operating and programming features, such as
the ability to define, recall, and schedule tours. Tours are sequences of video displays, each with a unique
dwell time, pan-and-tilt position, zoom and focus.
Ten keypads may be used in the system (8 remote keypads, the local keypad, and the host computer).
Remote keypads include Vicon’s Intelligent Control Panels V1300X-DVC and V1300X-RVC and a personal
computer with ProTech V1300X-PACP software installed. The V1300X-PACP software allows the user to
control CCTV equipment using the PC monitor and keypad. The local keypad is the front panel of the V1422.
The host computer is used to control CCTV equipment using ProTech software or any other RS-232 drivers.
The graphical interface panels used with ProTech software may contain video images, building layouts, and
keypad simulations in order to provide a graphic representation of the CCTV site.
The Installation section of this manual describes the connection of devices to the V1422 control system. A
system overview, the tools needed, cables required, contents of the accessory kit, and complete installation
procedures are provided. Refer to the following Vicon manuals if necessary:

Cable Recommendations
Vicon recommends specific cable types for connections to keypads, receivers, printer, host computer, and for
connections requiring coaxial cables.
Power Cabling
The power cords are supplied by Vicon. The accessory kit will contain 120 VAC and 230 VAC power cords.
Alarm Auxiliary Equipment Cabling
An auxiliary device may be connected to the V1422 for alarm operation. This dry-contact relay device,
typically a VCR, is programmed to activate or deactivate during an active alarm. For example, a VCR could
record video if an alarm in a high-security area is activated. This function is specified during configuration file
development, as discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834.
A VCR is one example of an auxiliary device that could be connected to the V1422. Since a variety of devices
could be used as the auxiliary device, Vicon does not recommend specific cables. The device which will be
used as the auxiliary equipment must not exceed the relay rating of 0.5 amperes, 30 volts and must be a noninductive load.
Audio Switcher Cabling
The V1422 may be connected to Vicon’s V1332AF or V2332AF Relay/Audio-Follow-Video Switchers. Use of
a relay/audio switcher allows audio and video signals to be switched simultaneously, as the V1422 includes
an internal video switching system. For example, the audio signal from an intercom microphone associated
with a camera can be switched to a speaker at the guard station at the same time the video is switched to the
guard’s monitor.
One ribbon cable is required to connect the V1422 to a relay/audio switcher. This cable is included with the
V1332AF or V2332AF Relay/Audio-Follow-Video Switcher.
Local Alarm Cabling
Local alarms are wired directly to jack J2 on the V1422 rear connector panel. These local alarms do not
include alarms which are connected to receivers. (Receiver alarm signals are communicated to the V1422
through receiver jack J4, unless the receiver is a Vicoax receiver, then they are transmitted through a video
cable.)
One two-conductor cable will be needed per alarm device. The wire gauge and specific type of cable are not
specified by Vicon, however, the total loop resistance of the cable must be less than 1.5 Kohms.
X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422 Installation • 5
Video Cabling
The video signals from cameras are carried via coaxial cable meeting the recommendations in the front of
this manual. One coaxial cable will be required per camera. If the video signals from cameras will be routed to
other CCTV equipment, one additional cable will be required per connection. The V1422-end of the coaxial
cables must be terminated with a male BNC connector.
An additional coaxial cable terminated with a male BNC connector is required for each monitor connection.
Up to eight monitors may be used in a V1422 CCTV system.
Video Control Cabling
Vicoax communication uses the same coaxial cable to transmit video and control signals. The following table
lists the Vicon-recommended cable types and maximum operating distances for Vicoax communication.
Table 3
Vicoax Cable Maximum Operating Distance
Cable Type Maximum Distance ft (m)
RG-11/U 3000 (900)
RG-59/U 1500 (450)
Control Cabling to Keypad Jack J3 and Receiver Jack J4
The appropriate cable used for communications between the V1422 and a CCTV system component
depends upon the distance between the two units. Table 4 lists six Vicon-recommended cable types and the
corresponding maximum operating distances. All cable types in Table 4 are dual cable except Belden 9182.
Dual cable contains two sets of cables which are shielded to prevent communications between the two sets.
Response signals are transmitted in one set and command signals are transmitted in the other set. Each set
contains two conductors, which are individually shielded, and a ground. Therefore a dual cable has six
conductors: two conductors plus a ground in each of two sets of conductors. Belden 9182 is not dual cable - it
contains two individually-shielded conductors and a ground for a total of three conductors.
Referring to Table 4, choose the appropriate cable type per the maximum operating distance between the
keypad (or distribution line control) and the V1422.
The number of cables required depends upon the cable type. One cable will be required for any cable type in
Table 4 except for Belden 9182. Because Belden 9182 contains only three conductors and six connections
are required, the choice of Belden 9182 will mandate the use of two cables.
6 • Installation X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422
Keypad Jack J3
Receiver Jack J4
Referring to Table 4, choose the appropriate cable type per the maximum operating distance between the
receiver (or distribution line control) and the V1422.
The number of cables required depends upon the communications mode. Simplex communications require
the use of command lines only, which enable the V1422 to communicate with the receiver but do not allow
receiver responses to be returned. Both response and command lines are connected for duplex mode, which
allows two-way communications between the V1422 and receiver. For example, receiver alarm and
communication failure messages can display on the V1422 local keypad LCD window if response lines have
been connected.
Choose either simplex or duplex operation and refer to the appropriate following section for the number of
cables required.
Note: Advanced features such as touring and sector titling require duplex operation.
Simplex Operation
Because simplex mode requires only three connections (command lines only), dual cable is not required. One
Belden 9182 cable will be required to connect the receiver or distribution line control to the V1422 in simplex
communications mode. As shown in Table 4, these units may be located up to 25,000 feet apart using this
cable.
Duplex Operation
Both command and response connections are required for duplex operation. One cable will be required for
duplex operation for any cable type chosen from Table 4 except for Belden 9182. Because six connections
are required for duplex operation and one Belden 9182 cable contains only three conductors, two cables are
required if Belden 9182 is used.
Cabling to Printer Jack J5 and Host Computer Jack J6
The V1422 rear connector panel includes two RS-232 ports. Jack J5 is used to transmit alarm reports to a
serial line printer. A host computer may be connected to jack J6. Vicon’s ProTech software may be installed
on the host computer to provide a graphic means of controlling and monitoring camera stations. Alternatively,
the NOVA command set may be used to communicate with the V1422 without the ProTech software, as
discussed in NOVA V1422 Host Computer Interface Software Instruction Manual X678. The host computer
may also be used to develop the configuration file.
One Belden 9536 cable will be required to connect the printer to the V1422 at an approximate distance of six
feet. One Belden 9536 cable will be required to connect the host computer to the V1422.
Installing the Tilt Stand
The V1422 may be mounted in a rack or used on a desk-top. A tilt stand is included in the accessory kit to

NOVA receivers may be connected to the V1422 in either duplex or simplex mode. Duplex operation requires
the use of both command and response lines. Response signals are used to transmit information such as the
activation of alarms and communication failures to the V1422. Command signals, which send control
information from the CPU to the receiver, are always required. Simplex operation requires the use of
command lines only. The operating mode must be chosen (or determined, for existing installations) before the
following procedure can be performed.
Note: The advanced features of the V1422, such as sector titling and touring, require duplex operation.
Jack J4 on the V1422 rear panel will be connected to either a receiver or a distribution line control. The
distribution line control allows multiple receivers to be connected radially from jack J4. Receivers may also be
connected serially (daisy-chain configuration). Star and daisy-chain interconnections of receivers and

13. Connect the assembled connector to the chosen (9- or 25-pin) connector on the serial line printer.
Connect the V1422-end of the cable to jack J5 on the V1422. Refer to Figure 3 on page 9.
Host Computer Connections
The V1422 can communicate with a computer through RS-232 jack J6 using commands as described in
NOVA V1422 Host Computer Interface Software Instruction Manual X678 or using Vicon’s ProTech Graphic
Command and Control software. Using either of these methods, the configuration file may be sent to or
retrieved from a computer. As discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834, a configuration file defines the CCTV components, expected responses, and
user preferences to the control system. Using the ProTech software, a configuration file may be developed
from user-friendly graphic screens. This information may then be sent to the V1422 via the RS-232 jack J6 on
the V1422 rear connector panel. This is an alternative method to creating a configuration file using the V1422
menu-driven software discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834. The computer connected to jack J6 is referred to as the “host” computer.
The steps in this section should only be performed if the commands listed in NOVA V1422 Host Computer Interface Software Instruction Manual X678 will be transmitted without using ProTech software.
1. Route the cable discussed in Cable Recommendations from the host computer.
2. Select the following from the accessory kit:
• 9-pin connector
• inner and outer shield
• ferrule
• five contact pins.
3. Slip the ferrule over the V1422-end of the cable. Refer to Figure 5b on page 13.
20 • Installation X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422
4. Using wire strippers, remove approximately 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) of outer insulation and shielding from the
cable.
5. Using wire strippers, remove approximately 0.25 in. (0.64 cm) of insulation from each of the conductor
wires.
6. Using a crimping tool, attach a contact pin to each of the five conductor wires.
7. Refer to Table 11 on page 20 and Figure 7 on page 15 and insert a pin into each receptacle listed.
Complete the Color column in Table 11, as it will be needed for connections to the 9-pin or 25-pin serial
com port on the host computer. Note that Vicon does not supply the parts needed to wire the connector at
the host computer-end of this cable.
Note: When directed, carefully insert the appropriate pin into the appropriate receptacle of the 9-pin
connector. If a mistake is made, a special tool (AMP extractor tool 91067-3) must be used to remove
the pin. Vicon does not supply this tool.
8. Insert the inner shield into the grooves of the connector. Refer to Figure 5a on page 13.
9. Close the inner shield. Insert the outer shield into the grooves of the connector. Refer to Figure 5b and c.
10. Close the outer shield until the tabs snap over the tabs on the inner shield. Refer to Figure 5d.
11. Slide the ferrule until it covers the end of the closed shields. Crimp the larger end of the ferrule to the
cable.
12. Assemble the connector needed for the host computer’s 9- or 25-pin connector, referring to Table 11 on
page 20. Note that Vicon does not supply the parts needed to assemble this connector.
13. Connect the assembled connector to the chosen (9- or 25-pin) connector on the host computer. Connect
the V1422-end of the cable to jack J6 on the V1422 rear connector panel. Refer to Figure 3 on page 9.
Terminate Unused BNC Connectors
The V1422 rear panel contains 32 pairs of BNC connectors for looping video to other system components
(outputs) and for receiving camera video signals (inputs). Either BNC connector in each pair may be used for
input or output. If video input is connected to either of the BNC connectors, the other BNC must be connected
to a system component or be terminated. Perform the following procedure.
1. Select one terminator from the accessory kit for each pair of BNC connectors which is connected to video
input but that will not loop video out to system components.
2. Connect a terminator to each unused BNC output in each pair of BNC connectors that has a used BNC
input. If neither BNC will be used, only terminate one of the BNCs.

Applying Power
The switching power supply in the V1422 allows the unit to be operated from 90-265 VAC at 50-60 Hz.
Perform the following procedure to apply power to the unit.
1. Perform the steps in Power Connections on page 10.
2. Plug the power cord into the V1422 rear connector panel. Refer to Figure 3 on page 9. Plug the power
cord into the appropriate power source (90-265 VAC, 50-60 Hz).
3. Locate the power switch on the rear panel and turn the unit on by placing the power switch in the “I”
position.
4. Apply power to all CCTV system components, referring to the appropriate instruction manuals.
Programming the V1422
The V1422 configuration file must be developed before operation. Refer to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control
and Switching System Programming Manual X834.
Entering the Login ID and Passcode
If at least one user has been defined for the system, the LCD will display as follows when the V1422 is initially
powered or rebooted.
A valid identification number must be entered before the programming screens can be accessed and the
system can be operated. Enter the ID using the local numeric keypad and press the HOME key. Refer to
Figure 9 on page 23 for the location of these keys. Note that if the user identification number is assigned to
an administrator, a passcode will also be requested:
Enter the passcode using the numeric keypad and press the HOME key. If the passcode was valid
(programmed for an administrator as discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834), the V1422 will now be available for system operation and programming. If an
invalid passcode is entered, both the login ID and the passcode must be entered again.
Note: Press and hold the F1 key and then press the Bypass key to exit the menu system.
24 • Operation X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422
Joystick Operation
The V1422 joystick is located on the front panel, as shown in Figure 9 on page 23. This vector-solving
joystick controls pan and tilt speed proportionally to deflection, as shown in Figure 10. The maximum speed is
selectable, as discussed in Joystick Speed Factor.
Deflect the joystick in the desired direction in order to control the pan-and-tilt drive associated with the
currently-selected camera station. To increase the speed, deflect the joystick further in the desired direction.
Joystick Speed Factor
Note: The following procedure is applicable only for keypads used with the V7UVS Surveyor Mini Dome or
V15UVS Universal Omniscan. Refer to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834 to define the percentage of maximum joystick speed discussed below and
the fast, medium, slow settings in Figure 10.
If the V1422 is controlling a V15UVS Universal Omniscan or V7UVS Surveyor Mini Dome, the joystick
behavior can be modified while the keypad is in the RUN mode (not applicable for PGM mode). The
maximum pan and tilt speed (which occurs when the joystick is at full deflection) can be set to equal the
maximum speed or a percentage of the maximum speed. For example, if the maximum is 90° per second and
the percentage chosen during programming was 50%, pressing the F1 key will toggle the maximum value to
45° per second (50% of 90). By redefining the maximum to the lesser of the two values, a slow moving object
may be more easily tracked.
The F1 key is used to toggle the maximum speed between the maximum and a percentage of that value.

Joystick Response Curves
Selecting a Camera and Monitor
Before the video from a camera may be viewed on a monitor, the camera and monitor must be selected using
the procedure described below. Refer to Figure 9 on page 23 for the location of local keys.
1. Press the MON key.
2. Enter the monitor number using the numeric keypad.
3. Press the MON key.
4. Enter the camera number.
5. Press the CAM key.
Note: If camera titles were programmed as discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching
System Programming Manual X834, the title will display on the selected monitor after step 5 above.
Preset Operation
The term “preset” refers to a preprogrammed pan-and-tilt position and lens setting. Preset lens settings are
only available with motorized zoom lenses. The same set of local keypad commands are used to program
presets and to recall previously defined presets. The RUN/PGM switch is used to differentiate between these
two activities. Refer to Figure 9 on page 23 for the location of specific keys on the local keypad. Perform the
following procedure to program or activate a preset.
Caution: The V1200R-LM-PP Preset Drive is required in order to perform preset operations using the
V1200R-LM Multiple Receiver/Driver. Using preset functions without the Preset Drive installed
will cause the pan-and-tilt drive to “run away”, or to pan and tilt erratically.
1. Position the pan-and-tilt drive and lens to the desired preset position.
2. Place the RUN/PGM switch in the PGM position to program or in the RUN position to activate a preset.
3. Press the PP ENTER key.
4. Using the numeric keypad, enter the number to be used to identify this preset position and lens setting.
Note: Refer to Clearing Errors on page 36 if an error is made during input.
5. Press the PP ENTER key. This will store a preset if the RUN/PGM switch is in the PGM position or
activate the pan-and-tilt and lens as defined by the preset if the switch is in the RUN position.
Note: If programmed as discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming
Manual X834, a preset title will display on the selected monitor. Preset titles are only available for
presets 1-32.
Controlling a Lens
The lens control keys are located at the extreme right of the keypad (refer to Figure 9 on page 23). These
keys control focus, iris, and zoom functions of motorized lenses. The zoom, focus, and iris keys are
momentary control keys; each time the ZOOM IN key is pressed, the lens will zoom in, until the limit is
reached or the key is released.
26 • Operation X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422
All Vicon receivers compatible with the V1422 feature built-in autoiris control circuits and variable lens speed
operation. The lens must either be motorized (lenses with the letter M in the model number) or motorized with
spot filter (lenses with the letters MS in the model number). Press the A/I button to enable or disable the
autoiris. Press the L-SPD button to change the speed to fast or slow.
Caution: Do not enable the autoiris function if the pan-and-tilt drive is in autopan mode. This will cause
premature failure of the autoiris drive mechanism.
Auxiliary Operation
Auxiliary switches control latching or momentary functions at the receiver site. The number of latching and/or
momentary auxiliary functions available depends upon the receiver, with a maximum of six devices. These six
auxiliary devices are activated using the six AUX buttons on the keypad.
To activate or deactivate a latching auxiliary device, press the appropriate AUX button and release.
Note: If using Model V1300R receiver with the V1300R-PV option board installed or V1301R receiver with
the V1301R-PV option board installed, do not use the auxiliary keys from the V1422 local panel while
using the joystick.
To activate a momentary auxiliary device, press the appropriate AUX button and hold the button in as long as
the operation of the device is required.
Note: If the V1422 was programmed with Seize Control set to Manual, pressing the AUX4 key will initiate a
seize. The Seize Control must be set to Auto in order to control auxiliary equipment with the AUX4 key.
Autopan Control
Press the A/P key to activate or deactivate automatic panning. “A/P” will display on the LCD when the V1422
has sent a command to the selected camera to begin autopanning.
Note: Manual pan operations have priority over the autopan function. Panning with the joystick will deactivate
autopanning.
Home Key
The V1422 allows a user to quickly return to preset 1 of the selected camera station using the HOME key.
Note: The procedure in Preset Operation on page 26 must be performed to define preset 1.
Press the HOME key to move the pan-and-tilt drive to preset position 1.
X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422 Operation • 27
Seize Control
Only one keypad may control a camera station at a time. A keypad may seize the control of a camera station
from a keypad with a lower priority. Priority levels are set using V1422 programming screens. Refer to the
NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834.
Seize control may be set to Automatic or Manual through the programming screens. If the seize control was
set to Automatic, a keypad may seize the control of a camera station from a keypad with lower priority by
sending any command to the camera station (pan, tilt, etc.). For manual seize control, the AUX4 key must be
pressed before the seize can take place.
Note: If a remote keypad is operating in V1200 mode (referred to as Receiver Type: Limited in the V1300X-
PACP panel), the seize control must be set to Auto in the V1422 programming screens.
Alarm Operation
The LCD will display an ALARM! message if one or more alarms have been activated. An active alarm is
acknowledged by pressing the ALARM key. Acknowledging an alarm removes it from the stack of active
alarms. The stack mode determines whether each alarm monitor may have its own list of active alarms
(independent stack mode) or if one list is common to all alarm monitors (common stack mode). Figures 11
and 12 illustrate common stack mode and independent stack mode, respectively.
.In Figure 11A, the Edit Alarm Call-Up programming screens are shown for two alarms. The initial conditions
are as follows (refer to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834
for more information):
• common stack mode
• FIFO (first-in, first-out) order
• alarm 1 is activated before alarm 2.
Figure 11B illustrates the video from specific camera stations at specific preset positions. All of these
camera/preset combinations are associated with either alarm 1 or alarm 2 as shown in Figure 11A, except for
the video from camera 10 at preset 1. The video from camera 10 at preset 1 is defined to be the video
displaying on monitor 3 before any alarms are activated. Figure 11C illustrates the video displayed on
monitors 1, 2 and 3 when alarm 1 is activated. As shown in Figure 11A, an active alarm 1 was programmed
to display video from camera 1, preset 1, on monitor 1 and to display video from camera 20, preset 2, on
monitor 2. Because the Edit Alarm Call-Up screen for alarm 1 does not include monitor 3, it will continue to
display pre-alarm video (camera 10, preset 1). When alarm 1 is acknowledged on either monitor 1 or monitor
2, alarm video from alarm input 2 will display, as shown in Figure 11D. Because all three monitors were
included in the Edit Alarm Call-Up for alarm input 2, alarm video displays on all alarm monitors. Alarm 2 may
be acknowledged from any alarm monitor (1, 2, or 3).

• independent stack mode
• FIFO (first-in, first-out) order for monitors 1 and 3; priority order for monitor 2
• acknowledged alarms will NOT be cleared from all monitor lists
• alarm 1 is activated before alarm 2
• alarm 2 has a higher priority than alarm 1.
Figure 12B illustrates the video from specific cameras at specific preset positions. All of the alarms shown in
Figure 12B are associated with either alarm 1 or alarm 2 (refer to Figure 12A) except for the video from
camera station 10 at preset 1. When alarms 1 and 2 are activated, alarm 1 displays on monitor 1 because the
alarm order is FIFO (refer to the initial conditions). Alarm order for monitor 2 is set to Priority, so alarm 2
displays on monitor 2. Monitor 3 displays alarm 2 because this monitor was not included in the Edit Alarm
Call-Up for alarm 1 (note that monitor 3 has no camera associated on alarm 1). Refer to Figure 12C. When
alarm 2 is acknowledged from monitor 2, it is cleared from monitor 2’s stack only. Because of the specified
initial conditions, monitors 1 and 3 are not affected. Refer to Figure 12D.

Acknowledging Alarms
The information in this section assumes that the Auto Acknowledge command was disabled during system
programming. The ALARM button, located on the V1422 local panel, is used to acknowledge alarms (refer to
Figure 9 on page 23). If the currently-selected monitor has been defined as an alarm monitor, the first press
of the ALARM button will acknowledge the alarm whose video is displaying on the alarm monitor. If the
selected monitor is not an alarm monitor, the first press of the ALARM button will select the lowest-numbered
alarm monitor, and the second press will clear the alarm. Each subsequent press of the ALARM button will
clear one alarm (if multiple alarms are active). In common stack mode, acknowledging the last alarm is the
final step.
In independent stack mode, alarms may be active on other alarm monitors even after the last alarm is
acknowledged from the current alarm monitor. Therefore, after the last alarm is acknowledged on the
currently-selected alarm monitor, the next press of the ALARM button will select the next lowest-numbered
alarm monitor. For example, in a system with monitors 1, 3 and 4 defined as alarm monitors, if alarm monitor
3 was selected when alarms were activated, the next lowest-numbered alarm monitor is monitor 1. If alarm
monitor 1 had been selected when alarms were activated, the next-lowest alarm monitor would be alarm
monitor 3. The next lowest-numbered alarm monitor is always the alarm monitor that has not yet been viewed
and which has the lowest number. Each subsequent press of the ALARM button will clear one alarm until all
alarms have been acknowledged on that alarm monitor. Sequencing alarms are processed in a similar
manner, as discussed in Acknowledging Sequencing Alarms.
The LCD will display “ALARM!” when the first alarm activates. This display will clear when the last alarm is
acknowledged.
Note that if the audible alarm is enabled during programming, an audible alarm will sound each time alarm(s)
are activated until the first alarm is acknowledged. For example, if alarms 1, 2, and 3 activate then the alarm
will sound until the first alarm is acknowledged. If at that time alarm 4 activated, the audible alarm would start
again.
Acknowledging Sequencing Alarms
Figure 13 illustrates the conditions and actions of a V1422 system with multiple active, sequencing alarms. It
is assumed for this example that the Auto Acknowledge command is disabled, the audible alarm is enabled,
and the Alarm Sequencing command is enabled, using the V1422 programming screens discussed in NOVA Digital Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834. The V1422 audible alarm will sound and
the LCD will display “ALARM!” when the first alarm activates.
Alarm video may only be viewed on monitors which have been defined during programming to be alarm
monitors. As shown in Figure 13, the consequences of pressing the ALARM key depend upon whether the
currently-selected monitor is an alarm monitor. If an alarm monitor is already selected when the alarms
activate, pressing the ALARM key will halt sequencing. Pressing the ALARM key again will acknowledge the
currently-displaying alarm video. If common stack mode was chosen during programming, the acknowledged
alarm will be removed from the common monitor stack. If independent stack mode was chosen, each alarm
monitor has its own alarm stack (an alarm stack is a list of active alarms). In this mode, an acknowledged
alarm may be either cleared from all monitor stacks or only from the stack of the selected alarm monitor,
depending upon the programming. Sequencing resumes with the remaining alarms in the stack.
If the currently-selected monitor is not an alarm monitor, the first press of the ALARM key will select the
lowest-numbered alarm monitor. For example, if monitors 3, 4, and 5 are alarm monitors, alarm monitor 3 will
be selected. The second ALARM key press will halt sequencing and the third press will acknowledge the
displayed alarm and resume sequencing, as discussed in the previous paragraph. When the first alarm is
acknowledged, the audible alarm will cease.
32 • Operation X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422
Remaining alarms are acknowledged in this same manner, with one ALARM key press to halt sequencing
and another ALARM key press to acknowledge the alarm and resume sequencing. When all alarms for the
currently-selected alarm monitor are acknowledged, the alarm monitor will display the pre-alarm video, blank
the screen, or leave the last alarm video onscreen, depending upon the choices made during programming.
Refer to the Set Monitor Acknowledge Control programming screen, discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834, for more information. If the V1422 was
programmed to use common stack mode, alarm processing is finished.
If independent stack mode is used, there may be active alarms on other alarm monitor stacks which may not
be viewed using the currently-selected alarm monitor stack. This can occur because of camera-to-monitor
partitioning; alarms from cameras which are not partitioned to the currently-selected alarm monitor cannot be
viewed on that monitor. Therefore, active alarms may remain in the system although all alarms that may be
viewed on the currently-selected monitor have been acknowledged. In this case, the next press of the
ALARM key will select the next lowest-numbered alarm monitor, and the sequencing alarm process will begin
again. When all alarms have been acknowledged from all alarm monitor stacks, the selected alarm monitor
will restore pre-alarm video, blank, or take no action, depending upon programming definitions.

Tour Operation
A tour is a series of preprogrammed video displays from various camera stations. This series may be
comprised of video from cameras on a monitor (monitor tour) or video from various cameras on various
monitors (salvo tour). Preset positions, preset lens settings, and dwell times may be associated with each
step in a tour. A step is defined as a salvo for salvo tours or one particular camera, preset, dwell for a monitor
tour. For example, a monitor tour might be defined to display the video from camera 1’s preset 1 and then
camera 2’s preset 10, both on monitor 1. This would be a two-step tour. An example of a salvo tour might be
defined to perform salvo 1 then salvo 3. Salvo 1 could be programmed to display camera 1’s preset 1 on
monitor 1 simultaneously with camera 2’s video at preset 10 on monitor 2. This video might be replaced
during the second step of the tour, depending upon the programming of salvo 3.
Note: Referring to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834,
specify the parameters necessary to define the monitor or salvo tour. Referring to Preset Operation on
page 26, define each preset to be used in the tour.
Activating Tours
After a tour is defined, as discussed in the previous section, a tour may be activated from a keypad. The
number used to identify the tour is the tour’s dial-up number. Dial-up tour numbers may be user-defined;
therefore, refer to the appropriate programming screen to identify the appropriate numbers. Perform the
following procedure.
Note: By default, tour dial-up numbers are 100 plus the tour number. For example, if the default dial-up
number is used for tour 1, the dial-up number is 101. Dial-up numbers may be user-defined, as
discussed in the NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834.
1. Place the RUN/PGM switch in the RUN position.
2. Enter the tour’s dial-up number using the numeric keypad.
Note: Enter a “9” before the tour’s dial-up number to load a tour for quick access. This tour will then activate
each time the SEQ key is pressed, until the V1422 is rebooted or a new tour is loaded for quick
access. Note that a tour loaded in this manner cannot be chained to a second tour. (Tours are defined
to chain to the next tour during programming. Refer to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching
System Programming Manual X834.)
3. Press the SEQ key.
4. Press SEQ while a tour is active to advance one step in the tour. The LCD status line will identify the tour
type as Monitor Tour or Salvo Tour.
Deactivating Tours
To cancel a running tour, press the RUBOUT key and use the joystick to pan-and-tilt to a new location. A tour
may also be deactivated by manually selecting a camera.
Note: The procedure listed above must be performed for each monitor in a salvo tour.
If a tour is deactivated while a pan-and-tilt drive is moving to a preset, the tour will be canceled when
the pan-and-tilt reaches the preset position.
X826 Rev 602 NOVA V1422 Operation • 35
Salvo Operation
A salvo is defined as the simultaneous display of video from various cameras on various monitors. Salvos
may be used to define the steps in salvo tours, as discussed in Tour Operation, or they may be executed as
an independent function. Salvo video displays may be initiated by performing the following procedure.
Note: Referring to NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834,
specify the parameters necessary to define a salvo. Referring to Preset Operation on page 26, define
each preset to be used in the salvo.
Activating Salvos
After a salvo is defined, as discussed in the previous section, a salvo may be activated from a keypad. The
number used to identify the salvo is the salvo’s dial-up number. Dial-up salvo numbers may be user-defined;
therefore, refer to the appropriate programming screen to identify the appropriate numbers. Perform the
following procedure.
Note: By default, salvo dial-up numbers are 200 plus the salvo number. For example, if the default dial-up
number is used for salvo 1, the dial-up number is 201. Dial-up numbers may be user-defined as
discussed in the NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Control and Switching System Programming Manual X834.
1. Place the RUN/PGM switch in the RUN position.
2. Enter the salvo’s dial-up number using the numeric keypad.
3. Press the CAM key.
Deactivating Salvos
To cancel a running salvo on the currently-selected monitor, perform the following procedure:
1. Press the RUBOUT key.
2. Use the joystick to pan-and-tilt to a new location.
Note: If this procedure is performed while a pan-and-tilt is moving to a preset, the salvo will be canceled when
the pan-and-tilt reaches the preset position.
Clearing Communications Failures
Communications between the V1422 and other system components may fail due to broken electrical
connections from a variety of sources. The announcement of communications failures may be acknowledged
and reset using the FAIL key (refer to Figure 9 on page 23). The LCD status line will display a “COMM!”
message until the FAIL key is pressed, even if communications have resumed.
Clearing Errors
Invalid keypad entries will cause an error message to be displayed on the LCD. To clear the error message,
press the RUBOUT key. The RUBOUT key may also be used to clear monitor, camera, and preset entries,
one digit at a time, before the final key in the sequence is entered.

Maintenance
Fuse Replacement
One fuse is located in a fuse tray in the rear panel of the V1422. Refer to Figure 9 on page 23. The fuse
rating is 2A, 3AG, slo-blo. Perform the following procedure to replace the fuse.
Warning: Using a fuse with the incorrect rating for the unit can result in component damage and/or fire.
1. Slide the fuse tray out of the unit.
Warning: The new fuse must be inserted into the side labeled “120”, regardless of the input voltage to the
V1422. If the fuse is placed in the “240” side, the V1422 will not operate.
2. Replace the old fuse with a new fuse of the proper rating: 2A, 3AG, slo-blo.
3. Replace the fuse tray.
There is also a 5A, 32V, 3AG fuse located inside the unit. Only a qualified service person should perform the
procedures in this manual. Perform the following procedure to replace the fuse.
1. Unplug the V1422 from the power source.
2. Take necessary grounding precautions to prevent static discharge.
3. Remove the top cover of the V1422.
4. With the V1422 front panel facing you, the fuse is mounted on the inside right wall next to the power
supply. The fuse connects pin 2 of P2 on the power board to pin 1 of J11 on the main board and is held in
place with a tie. Locate the fuse and slide the fuse holder out of the tie.
5. Twist each half of the fuse holder to open the holder. Remove the fuse and replace it with the 5A, 32V,
3AG fuse from the accessory kit.
6. Replace the fuse holder halves and twist to lock the holder. Slip the holder back into the tie.
7. Replace the top cover of the V1422.
Storage
Use the following procedure when storing the V1422 for periods of 1 month or longer:
