Installation
Unpacking and Inspection
All Vicon equipment is inspected and tested before leaving the factory. It is the carrier’s responsibility to
deliver the equipment in the same condition in which it left the factory.
Inspection for Visible Damage
Immediately inspect the cartons upon delivery. On all copies of the carrier’s freight bill, make a note of any
visible damage.
Make sure the carrier’s agent (the person making the delivery) signs the note on all copies of the bill. If the
agent does not have claim forms, contact the carrier’s office.
Inspection for Concealed Damage
As soon as possible after delivery, unpack the unit and inspect it for concealed damage. Do not discard the
carton or packing materials. If the unit is damaged, contact the carrier immediately and request forms for filing
a damage claim. Make arrangements for a representative of the carrier to inspect the damaged equipment.
If the equipment must be returned for repair, follow the Shipping Instructions at the end of this document.
Physical Installation
The V894CSH series is designed to fit into a corner where two walls and a ceiling meet. It may be fastened to
either or both walls or to the walls and the ceiling. The V894WSH series is designed for wall mounting. Refer
to Figure 1. Cable access is provided on one side. The camera may be rotated 360º and be tilted slightly to
give a higher or lower angle of view. The varifocal lens allows for lens adjustment capability.
The wall/ceiling material must provide suitable strength to support the weight of the unit (2.75 lb/1.2 kg). 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 and power cables must be routed to the
installation location.
Before beginning installation, read the Coaxial Cable Recommendations at the end of this manual and verify
that the accessory pack contains the items listed in Table 2.

Table 2: Accessory Pack Contents
Required tool: The Torx bit that is supplied is designed for a socket or screwdriver-type holder designed for
hexagonal bits.
Mounting the Housing
The housing consists of two main assemblies, the outer or front cover and the back corner or wall mount
assembly. The front of the housing is secured to the back of the housing with Torx tamperproof screws. A
special tool is supplied in the accessory pack for removing and replacing these screws. When the installation
is complete, retain the Torx bit in case access to the interior of the housing is required later. Two extra Torx
screws are provided in the accessory pack
Note: The camera mounting bracket assembly can be removed if desired. Loosen the self-locking nut and
disconnect the cable at the camera PCB.
There are four (4) 0.22-inch (5.6-mm) holes that are provided for mounting the housing assembly to the wall
and/or ceiling to assure a secure mounting. A 0.750-inch (19-mm) hole is provided for cable access.
1. Remove the front cover. Using the housing back as a template, mark the location of the cable access
opening in the wall or ceiling and the locations of the mounting screws.
2. Cut the cable opening in the wall. The cable opening diameter should be slightly larger than the outer
diameter of the rubber grommet from the accessory pack. This allows the housing to fit flush against the
wall when installed. Optionally, a conduit fitting (not supplied) can be used.
3. Drill suitable holes for whatever type of hollow-wall hardware has been selected. The use of No. 10
hardware is recommended. Use hollow-wall anchors or, if the housing is being mounted on a sheet metal
surface, use rivet nuts.
4. The cable access hole in the housing accommodates standard cable access fittings as used with
electrical junction boxes. If such a fitting is not to be used, install the rubber grommet from the accessory
pack. The grommet has been split for preterminated coaxial cable. The grommet protects video and
power cables from abrasion and prevents dust from entering the housing through the cable access hole.
5. Pull enough power cable and coaxial cable through the grommet into the housing to allow for convenient
handling during termination.
6. Fasten the housing to the wall with four fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface.

Cable Connections
Both power and video connections are made to the printed circuit board (PC board) mounted in the housing.
The PC board provides a pendant cable BNC connector for video and a 3-position screw terminal connector
for camera power. Refer to Figure 1 and the Coaxial Cable Recommendations at the end of this manual.
Coaxial Video Cable
1. Attach the customer male BNC connector on the video cable to the mating female BNC connector on the
pendant cable. (Note: Pendant cable is taped to housing for shipping. Remove shipping tape before
making connections.)
2. Push excess coaxial cable back through the grommet and arrange the coaxial cable as desired in the
housing.
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.
A UL listed Class 2 direct plug-in transformer with 24 VAC 200 mA output is required for powering the
V894CSH and V894WSH cameras.
Power Supplies
Vicon recommends several power supplies, depending on the needs of the installation. Refer to the table
below. For other multichannel power supplies, contact Altronix Corporation at 888-258-7669.
Model Number Description
VC24PS-1 Single channel, 24 VAC, 10 VA

6 •Installation X935-24-00 Rev 108 V894CSH/V894WSH High-Security Cameras
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 adjustment for the line
lock V-phase (VR1) is on the back board of the camera. Refer to Figure 2. 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 switch is set to position “LL” shown in
Figure 3. 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.” as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 2
DIP Switch/Potentiometer Location

X935-24-00 Rev 108 V894CSH/V894WSH High-Security Cameras Installation •7
Camera/Lens Adjustments
After all cabling is complete, the camera and lens can be adjusted.
DIP Switch Settings
Refer to Figures 2 and 3 when making DIP switch settings. (Note that the location of this DIP Switch is model
dependent. Be sure to refer to the correct DIP switch, A or B, when setting.)
The ELC/ALC mode switch is used to select Electronic Light Compensation or Automatic Light
Compensation. The ALC setting is used for external autoiris and the ELC setting is used for internal autoiris.
Pole 1 of the DIP switch is set to ON for ELC and OFF for ALC.
The camera can operate independently, using its internal crystal controlled sync generator, or it may be
synchronized using line locking. To select one or the other of these sync modes, set the DIP switch on the
front camera board to either INT or LL. Pole 2 of the DIP switch is set to ON for INT and OFF for LL.
The AGC switch is used to activate the internal AGC circuit contained in the camera. When set to ON, the
AGC automatically boosts the camera sensitivity if the scene illumination is insufficient. To activate the AGC
circuit, Pole 3 of the DIP switch is set to the ON position.
The BLC switch is used to activate the automatic Backlight Compensation circuit in the camera. The BLC
select is used to automatically compensate for bright backgrounds. To activate the BLC circuit, Pole 4 of the
DIP switch is set to the ON position.
The default settings on all cameras are: ALC, LL, AGC ON and BLC ON.
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 Figure 3.
Figure 3
DIP Switch Settings
Lens Adjustment
The lens can be manually adjusted for focus and angle of view. On the lens, focus (near to infinity) is the front
ring and the telephoto/wide adjustment is the end ring. On autoiris lenses, iris adjustment may be required if
the picture appears dark or grainy or has poor color. There is a potentiometer (VR1) on the camera front
board to adjust the autoiris. Refer to Figure 2.

8 •Maintenance X935-24-00 Rev 108 V894CSH/V894WSH High-Security Cameras
Camera/Lens Positioning
The camera position can be adjusted in three axes, vertically (tilt), vertical height of the camera/lens
assembly and rotation about the lens axis (roll). Swivel the assembly for tilt position. The vertical height of the
camera/lens assembly can be adjusted by loosening the lock nut, changing the vertical position of the camera
mounting bracket within the slot in the mounting bracket and retightening the nut. The picture may be
“squared up” by rotating the camera about its own axis up to 360° (roll adjustment).
Note: After all adjustments are made, be sure to tighten all bracket screws.
Final Installation Steps
The last installation steps include repositioning the camera and fastening the outer cover in place.
1. If the camera was removed, rotated or tilted during the cable connection, reinstall the camera and adjust
until it is directed at about the center of the black mask on the inside of the housing window. Be certain
the lens doesn’t touch the window when reinstalling the cover. It is best if the picture from the camera can
be viewed on a monitor for this procedure in order to achieve the best positioning of the camera. Make
sure camera is oriented correctly; top of camera is labeled.
2. Secure the outer cover with the three (3) (V894CSH) or four (4) (V894WSH) tamperproof screws
provided. A screw locking compound such as Loctite™ is recommended. Save the special tool and the
two spare tamperproof screws.
Maintenance
The V894CSH and V894WSH require no maintenance except the occasional cleaning of the housing and
window. Use a soft cloth and plain soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleansers that can scratch the
window surface or the finish on the housing.
Fuse Replacement
There is a resettable fuse located on the back of the PCB in the housing.

X935-24-00 Rev 108 V894CSH/V894WSH High-Security Cameras Coaxial Cable Recommendations •9
Coaxial Cable Recommendations
Caution: Careful selection of 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, or equivalent, are installed. In all cases, coaxial cable
impedance should be 75 ohms.
Materials
Use only a pure copper center conductor. Do not use a copper-plated steel or aluminum center conductor, as they will
result in poor quality video. Solid-core bare copper conductor is the best type, where flexing and bending will be minimal. If
severe bending and flexing is required for installation, use a stranded center conductor. Never exceed the manufacturer’s
minimum bend radius specification. Use cellular (foam) polyethylene dielectric except where heavy moisture exists. For
moisture conditions, use solid polyethylene dielectric cable with a heavy exterior insulation. The shield must be copper
braid providing 95% or better coverage.
Cable Types
The cable types listed below are the most common 75-ohm types used. They vary in size (diameter), dielectric type and
net DC resistance. The larger cable results in a lower DC resistance and better video quality, with increased difficulty in
handling and installation. Let the required picture quality and cable distance provide a guide in choosing the best cable
type. For cables other than the approved Vicon types below, contact the manufacturers listed below. Note that “BC” refers
to bare copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.

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 15, 2007.
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

SHALL APPLY EXCLUSIVELY.
