NOTES
Baud Rates
The Vicon output set by switch 4 can be either 4800 baud or 9600 baud.
Addressing
Only camera control code for the camera number set by the Address Switches is converted.
If switch 5 is On, the Vicon output code will always be sent to camera #1
Test Pattern
When switch 6 is on, the translator sends a continuous small square movement pattern to the
camera. The input is not active.
Indicators
The Rx LED will flash when there is data on the input. If the input lines are reversed, it will stay on.
The Error LED will flash if the input code is not recognized as valid Pelco code.
The Status LED will light if the address switches are not set to a valid address (1~256).
The Tx LED flashes for each Vicon packet sent.
OPERATION
PTZFI
The code translator converts pan, tilt, zoom, focus and iris commands directly.
Presets
Pelco [Preset] and [Pgm Preset] commands are converted to Vicon [Run Pset] and [Pgm Pset].
Aux Commands
The Vicon keys required for the onscreen menu and pattern recording can be accessed from low Pelco
aux numbers.

Display onscreen menu
Use the joystick to navigate the onscreen menu. Use Aux 2 for A/P to make selections, and Aux 3 for
A/I to exit. Some Vicon domes will not respond to consecutive same commands, so to send consecu-
tive A/I or A/P commands, insert another command in between (Aux4 for Alarm acknowledge is a good
choice).
