Installation
Unpacking and Inspection
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.
Inspect the cartons upon delivery and, if damage is present, make detailed notes on the carrier’s bill. Then
obtain the carrier’s agent signature and file a damage claim as soon as possible.
Open the cartons and inspect the equipment for damage. Save the cartons and packing material. If damage is
present, contact the carrier and file a damage claim immediately. If the equipment must be returned for repair,
refer to the Shipping Instructions Section of this manual.
Mounting the Lens
Do not exceed the maximum recommended distances between a lens and its control unit.
Note:
The front element of a zoom lens moves in and out as the lens focus is changed. The closest focusing
position corresponds to the greatest extension of the lens. When installing a lens in a housing, make
sure that the lens is fully extended. Allow ¼-inch (6 mm) of clear space between the extended lens and
the window.
Caution:
Control units having the three-position distance switch MUST NOT be set for longer than
recommended distances or the lens may be seriously damaged.
Caution:
Do not mount an autoiris lens on a camera that is installed on an autopanning unit. Such use
causes excessive wear, as the iris mechanism constantly compensates for different light levels.
1. Screw the lens firmly into the mount on the camera (V8-80HS-1 lenses have C mounts). If the lens is not
oriented correctly after screwing it into the camera, proceed with step 2.
2. Rotate the lens in either direction against the friction clutch in the lens mount to obtain the best installation
angle.
Wiring the M and MS Lenses
The M and MS lenses are supplied with AMP Miniature Rectangular (MR) connectors for zoom, focus, iris, and
preset functions. The lens has a single cable with multiple conductors. The number of conductors depends on
the lens model. Connect cables from the lens control to the MR mating connector in the accessory pack.
Lenses without the preset function are supplied with a 6-pin connector, while lenses with presets have a 9-pin
connector. The wiring of both connectors is shown in Figure 1. Tables 2 and 3 show the color-coding of the
cables from the lens.
