SurveyorVFT Fixed Dome Components  
The SurveyorVFT fixed camera dome units consist of an enclosure/housing, a camera mechanism, a shroud, and  
a smoked (indoor) or clear (outdoor) lower dome.  
Enclosure  
The enclosure is a metal shell that houses the camera mechanism for the in-ceiling model. A safety cord and clip  
are provided to connect to the camera mechanism during installation. In addition, a small hole is provided on the  
side of the enclosure for connection of the lower dome’s safety cord. A removable top cover, a 0.75-inch (19 mm)  
conduit fitting and a pair of rotating flippers that give a convenient and sturdy connection of the enclosure into the  
ceiling are provided. For in-ceiling installations that do not use conduit pipe, a 0.75-inch (19 mm) strain relief  
fitting provides solid cable anchoring at the enclosure.  
Camera Mechanism  
The camera mechanism includes an integral camera/lens combination, with a color camera and a varifocal lens. It  
is designed for easy “snap-in” installation into the enclosure or housing. The camera/lens position can be  
manually adjusted. The integral PC board provides wiring connections. For outdoor units, a thermostatically-  
controlled heater is provided for temperature control.  
Shroud  
The shroud is a 5.4 in. (137 mm) textured black ABS plastic shell. It has a 1.4 in. (35.6 mm) slotted opening for  
the camera. This shroud conceals the position of the camera and snaps onto the camera drive.  
Lower Dome  
The lower dome is an assembly comprised of a 5.9 inch (150 mm) diameter acrylic plastic shell, a trim ring and a  
safety cord. Lower domes for indoor versions come in a choice of smoked, chrome or gold finishes. Standard  
outdoor lower domes are clear and use 4 screws for additional support. All lower domes are anchored to the  
enclosure by the safety cord. Refer to the Maintenance section for care.  
Housing  
The housing for the SurveyorVFT fixed indoor pendant configurations is a molded plastic protective cover for the  
camera mechanism; outdoor pendant configurations have a die-cast aluminum housing with a sunshield. The  
housing has a 1.5-inch NPT pipe flange mount. In addition, the housing is equipped with a safety cord and clip  
that is used to suspend the camera drive during installation. Another safety cord connects the lower dome to the  
housing.  
Sunshield  
A sunshield pre-installed over the housing used on the outdoor pendant version is for radiation sun-blocking  
protection.  
CAUTION: For any environment subject to moisture, use the outdoor pendant model.

Mounting the Unit  
In-Ceiling Mounting  
The SurveyorVFT fixed dome rests on the ceiling material and occupies the space between the lower ceiling  
and upper building frame. There are two methods of installation. The first method can be used for ceilings  
with no access to the space above, as in a typical hard material ceiling. The second method is used for a  
ceiling with access, as in the case of a dropped ceiling (metal grid type). All mounting hardware is provided.  
Refer to the section on Optional Independent Support for installations requiring additional support (most  
commonly, a dropped ceiling).  
Using the Provided Scribe  
A small metal scribe is provided to assist in marking an accurate hole size in a ceiling tile. Use it as follows.  
1. Place the ceiling tile on a large flat surface, face up.  
2. Measure and make a small mark at position A from any corner (11.9 in./302 mm). Refer to Figure 1.  
3. Measure and make a small mark at position B (8.2 in./208 mm), placing the scribe as perpendicular to the  
A-edge as possible.  
4. Place the scribe across B and C. Rotate the scribe around center C for a full turn.  
5. Cut out the circle using a sharp tool on the scribed line.  
Figure 1  
Use of the Scribe  
Mounting from Below the Ceiling  
Use this method of installation if there is no access to the space above. The ceiling material must provide  
suitable strength to support the weight of the SurveyorVFT fixed dome with the two flippers on the enclosure.  
Be sure the area around the selected location is clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers, pipes,  
electrical wiring, etc.) that would interfere with mounting. Video, sync, and power cables must be routed to the  
location.  
1. Mark with the scribe and cut a 7-3/8 in. (187 mm) hole in the ceiling at the desired location. Remove the  
tile from a dropped ceiling if necessary. Feed all necessary flexible conduit pipe or cables down through  
the hole.

2. If cables are used without the use of flexible conduit:  
a. Remove the enclosure top by loosening the 3 screws. Remove the conduit fitting by loosening  
the nut and sliding it out. Install the supplied strain relief fitting in its place and re-attach the top  
cover.  
b. Hold the enclosure near the hole in the ceiling and route cables through the strain relief fitting.  
2.  
If cables are channeled through flexible cable:  
a. Hold the enclosure near the hole in the ceiling and route conduit cables through the conduit  
fitting.  
b. Insert the end of the flexible conduit pipe into the conduit fitting. Cable length should be flush with  
the bottom of the enclosure, approximately 12 in. (305 mm). Tighten the clamp screw.  
3. Lift the enclosure up through the ceiling hole. Turn and tighten the flipper screws to obtain a flush fit with  
the ceiling plane.  
4. Connect the enclosure’s safety cord clip to the tab in the camera mechanism to allow the drive to hang  
from the enclosure. Refer to Figure 2 for location of tab.  
Continue with section on Cable Connections.  
Figure 2  
Safety Cord Installation  
Mounting from Above the Ceiling  
Use this method of installation if there is access to the space above. The ceiling material must provide  
suitable strength to support the weight of the SurveyorVFT fixed dome with the two flippers on the enclosure.  
Refer to the section on Optional Independent Support for installations requiring additional support. Be sure  
the area around the selected location is clear of obstacles (such as steel beams, headers, pipes, electrical  
wiring, etc.) that would interfere with mounting. Video, sync, and power cables must be routed to the location.  
1. Mark with the scribe and cut a 7-3/8 in. (187 mm) hole in the ceiling at the desired location. Remove tile  
from dropped ceiling if necessary. Feed all necessary flexible conduit pipe or cables down through the  
hole.  
2. Lift the SurveyorVFT enclosure up to the ceiling and snap it into the hole. Turn and tighten the flipper  
screws for a flush fit. Connect the enclosure’s safety cord clip to the tab in the camera mechanism to  
allow the mechanism to hang from the enclosure. Align the 2 slots on the camera mechanism with the  
tabs in the enclosure, being sure to match up the arrows on both the drive and in the enclosure. Insert the  
camera mechanism into the enclosure until it snaps into place.

4. If cables are used without the use of flexible conduit:  
a. Remove the conduit fitting by loosening the nut and sliding it out. Install the supplied strain relief  
fitting in its place and re-attach the top cover.  
b. Route approximately 12 in. (305 mm) of cables through the strain relief fitting. Tighten the two (2)  
strain relief fitting screws to compress the cables. Do not overtighten the screws and crush the  
cables.  
4. If cables are channeled through flexible cable:  
a. Route approximately 12 in. (305 mm) of conduit cables through the conduit fitting.  
b. Insert the end of the flexible conduit pipe into the conduit fitting and tighten the clamp screw.  
Continue with the section on Cable Connections.  
Optional Independent Support  
If it is necessary to provide independent support for the SurveyorVFT fixed dome other than ceiling material,  
order the optional In-Ceiling Mount Model Kit, model SVFT-IC-MKT. It consists of a pre-assembled set of  
mounting rails and folding ring. Refer to Figure 3A.  
1. With the 7-3/8-inch (187 mm) diameter hole cut in the ceiling tile and the tile replaced in the ceiling, push  
the folded assembly up through the hole and unfold.  
2. Position the assembly squarely over the hole and fasten the caddy rail clips to the existing frame.  
Remove the adjacent tiles to access the clips.  
3. Adjust the position of the caddy rail clips along the frame to obtain the best “X” position.  
4. Slide the assembly along the caddy rails to obtain the best concentric “Y” position. Tighten the horizontal  
adjustment screws to secure the position.  
5. With the ring concentric with the hole, slide the ring vertically along the support slots to obtain the best  
flush fit in the ceiling. The ring should be firmly seated against the tile without warping the tile. Refer to  
Figure 3B.  
6. Complete the installation as described in the previous procedure. When using this kit, the flippers  
squeeze the mounting ring assembly for a snug fit.

Camera Power Connections  
Note: Vicon systems and components, like most electronic equipment, require a clean, stable power source.  
Voltage irregularities such as surges, drops, and interruptions can affect the operation of your  
equipment and, in severe cases, damage certain components. Vicon strongly recommends the use of  
line conditioners, voltage regulators, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.  
Power is connected through a two-position detachable screw terminal connector on the PC board (P8). Refer  
to Figure 4. Refer to Table 2 for the input power connections.  
1. Find the detachable power cable connector supplied on the PC board.  
2. Strip approximately 1 in. (25 mm) of insulation off power cables. Then strip off approximately 0.25 in.  
(6 mm) of insulation off each individual wire. Attach the camera power cables to the connector according  
to Table 2.  
3. Press the cable connector onto the board connector. The connector is keyed to prevent incorrect  
installation.  
The camera is shipped prepared for 24 VAC.

DIP Switch Settings  
There is a DIP switch on the front camera board that allows the selection of: Switch 1 - ALC (OFF) or ELC  
(ON); Switch 2 – Internal (Crystal) Synchronization (ON) or Line Lock (OFF); Switch 3 – AGC (ON or OFF);  
Switch 4 – BLC (ON or OFF). ALC setting is for external autoiris and ELC setting is for internal autoiris. The  
day/night camera includes a switch to select having the day/night feature turned ON or OFF. If day/night is  
turned ON, at a low light level the camera changes to monochrome mode and the resolution and sensitivity  
increase. Refer to Figures 5 and 6 for the location and setting of the switches. See Table 3 for camera and  
lens specifications.  
There are two potentiometers on the camera. VR1 on the back board is for V-phase adjustment; VR1 on the  
top board is for autoiris adjustment. Refer to Figure 5.  
Camera Synchronization  
If there is more than one unit in a system, the cameras have to be synchronized to ensure there is no roll of  
video. If the camera will be used in a line lock video application, the camera interface board is already set in  
line lock mode by default. Camera synchronization is DIP switch selectable, line locked or internal. The use of  
line-locking synchronization using a V-phase potentiometer (pot) is typically included in video equipment  
requiring external video synchronization. As an example, equipment like a video switcher unit uses the  
camera’s line lock to reduce “video jump” on its monitor during camera switching. The V-phase pot allows  
video to power line phase adjustment up to 180°. If more than 180° of adjustment is required, swap the lines  
attached to the 24 VAC terminal block connector. Be sure that the selector DIP switch is set to position “LL”.  
Note that the performance of the camera’s line lock depends on the quality of the power source. If the camera  
experiences roll or jitter due to the quality of the power source, then it is best to set the camera to internal  
“crystal” mode. This is done by setting the selector switch to “INT.”  
The adjustment for the line lock V-phase (VR1) is on the bottom board of the camera.  
Autoiris Adjustments  
On autoiris lenses, iris adjustment may be required if the picture appears dark or grainy or has poor color. To  
obtain the sharpest picture possible, the iris adjustment should be made from a “full bright” setting down to an  
acceptable video level. This assures that the internal AGC of the camera is not operational. There is a  
potentiometer to adjust the DC level for autoiris; potentiometer VR1 is on the camera front board. Refer to  
Figure 5. Use a small jeweler’s screwdriver to make adjustments. Turning the potentiometer opens and  
closes the iris to regulate light extremes. Turning the potentiometer clockwise opens the iris wider, allowing  
more light. Autoiris control is DIP switch selectable.

Reference  
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.

Twisted-Pair Cable  
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.  
Materials  
Use a pure copper stranded or solid conductor with or without a tin plating to obtain a low DC resistance. Do not use cable  
with either steel or aluminum stranded conductor because these do not transfer signals effectively for long distances. The  
preferred insulation is Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It has better electrical characteristics than polyethylene and resists flames,  
sunlight and most solvents, but is more vulnerable to moisture.  
Cable Types  
The most commonly used cable types are point-to-point unshielded twisted pair wire, stranded or solid, unjacketed,  
24 gauge or thicker. They can be category 2, 3, 4, or 5. The video signal may co-exist in the same wire bundle as other  
video, telephone, data, control signals or low-voltage power. It is also acceptable to run the signal adjacent to fluorescent  
lights or other power sources (in accordance with National Electrical Code, local and other safety requirements). Make  
sure the pair of wires carrying the video signal is sent as a twisted pair (the blue-white/white-blue wires twisted together as  
a pair), not a “split pair” (blue-white conductor, part of one pair/orange-white conductor, part of another pair).  
Choose a Belden or equivalent cable type by referring to the characteristics and maximum distances listed below. The  
characteristics of the cables in the Tables should be used as a guideline when cables other than Belden are used.  
Materials and construction must follow the guidelines above.  
Wire resistance may be measured with an ohmmeter by shorting the two conductors together at the far end and  
measuring the loop-resistance out and back. Compare your readings to the following chart.

months. All other parts warranted for 3 years from date of original retail purchase.  
Normal Use excludes prolonged use of lens and pan-and-tilt motors, gear heads, and gears due to continuous  
use of “autopan” or “tour” modes of operation. Such continuous operation is outside the scope of this warranty.  
Date of retail purchase is the date original end-user takes possession of the equipment, or, at the sole discretion of the  
Company, the date the equipment first becomes operational by the original end-user.  
The sole remedy under this Warranty is that defective equipment be repaired or (at the Company’s option) replaced, at  
Company repair centers, provided the equipment has been authorized for return by the Company, and the return shipment  
is prepaid in accordance with policy.  
The Company will not be obligated to repair or replace equipment showing abuse or damage, or to parts which in the  
judgment of the Company are not defective, or any equipment which may have been tampered with, altered, misused, or  
been subject to unauthorized repair.  
Software supplied either separately or in hardware is furnished on an “As Is” basis. Vicon does not warrant that  
such software shall be error (bug) free. Software support via telephone, if provided at no cost, may be  
discontinued at any time without notice at Vicon’s sole discretion. Vicon reserves the right to make changes to  
its software in any of its products at any time and without notice.  
This Warranty is in lieu of all other conditions and warranties express or implied as to the Goods, including any  
warranty of merchantability or fitness and the remedy specified in this Warranty is in lieu of all other remedies  
available to the Purchaser.  
No one is authorized to assume any liability on behalf of the Company, or impose any obligations on it in connection with  
the sale of any Goods, other than that which is specified above. In no event will the Company be liable for indirect, special,  
incidental, consequential, or other damages, whether arising from interrupted equipment operation, loss of data,  
replacement of equipment or software, costs or repairs undertaken by the Purchaser, or other causes.  
This warranty applies to all sales made by the Company or its dealers and shall be governed by the laws of New York  
State without regard to its conflict of laws principles. This Warranty shall be enforceable against the Company only in the  
courts located in the State of New York.  
The form of this Warranty is effective August 2, 2004.  
THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANTY APPLY ONLY TO SALES MADE WHILE THIS WARRANTY IS IN EFFECT. THIS  
WARRANTY SHALL BE OF NO EFFECT IF AT THE TIME OF SALE A DIFFERENT WARRANTY IS POSTED ON THE  
COMPANY’S WEBSITE, WWW.VICON-CCTV.COM. IN THAT EVENT, THE TERMS OF THE POSTED WARRANTY  
SHALL APPLY EXCLUSIVELY.
