Vicon surveyor X971, Installation And Operation Manual

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.
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.
