X777-08 Rev 1202 Intelligent Remote Control Panels Introduction •1
Introduction
Note: Read all of the instructions completely before installing or operating this equipment.
The information in this manual covers installation, programming and operation for the V1300X-DVC and
V1300X-RVC Intelligent Remote Control Panels. The installation procedures should only be performed by a
qualified technician using approved materials in accordance with national, state and local wiring codes. The
unit complies with FCC standards for a Class A device and with European Community EMC Directive 89/336.
The product was subjected to the testing outlined in European Normalization Standard EN 50081-1
(Electromagnetic Compatibility - General Emissions Standard Part 1: Residential, Commercial and Light
Industry), and EN 50082-1 (Electromagnetic Compatibility - Generic Immunity Standard Part 1: Residential,
Commercial, and Light Industry).
Note: Throughout this manual the terms “keypad” and “remote control panel” are used interchangeably.
The intelligent remote control panel is a multifunction keypad. It is front-panel programmable, allowing
modification to keypad/receiver communications baud rates, keypad operational mode, keypad address and
passcodes from the keypad. The keypad features a pan-and-tilt joystick which can be set for variable- or
fixed-speed operation. It also offers pushbutton control for the following operations and key input buffering for
faster system response.
• camera and monitor selection • lens speed
• zoom, focus, iris • receiver preset position entry
• autopan • alarm acknowledgment
• autoiris • receiver communication failure acknowledgment.
The keypad has several user-programmable macro keys, which allow a series of multiple keystrokes to be
programmed to one or two keys. Two single keystroke macro functions are available as well as eighteen
double keystroke macro functions. Each macro may be programmable with up to 256 keystrokes.
All of Vicon’s receivers (RS-422 type) and control systems may be used with the V1300X-DVC and V1300X-
RVC. The unit may be used in four user-selectable modes: 1200, 1300, Standalone and MSYS. These
modes are discussed in detail in the following section.
Two different versions of the Intelligent Remote Control Panels are available. The V1300X-DVC is a desk-top
version and the V1300X-RVC is rack-mounted, as shown in the following figure.

2 •Installation X777-08 Rev 1202 Intelligent Remote Control Panels
Installation
Warning: Do not apply power to any unit until all connections are properly made.
Determine the System Configuration (Keypad Type)
There are four general system configurations using the Intelligent Remote Control Panels: 1200, 1300,
Standalone (SNGL) and Multi-System Selector (MSYS). You must choose one of these configuration for
installation and operation.
1300
If you have one of the following control systems, you will use the keypad’s 1300 mode:
• V1300 • V1400 • V1444
• V1344 • V1422 (VPS328) • V1466
The 1300 configuration provides the following advantages over the 1200 configuration:
• less communication overhead between the keypad and control system
• greater address range for keypads
• expanded variable-speed receiver operation.

1200
If you have one of the following control systems, you will use the keypad’s 1200 mode:
• V1200 • VPS324
You may also use the following two control systems in 1200 mode; however, you should use the 1300 mode
to take advantage of the features listed in 1300 above.
• V1300 • V1344
The figure shown in 1300 above is also applicable to the 1200 mode.

MSYS
Vicon’s V1400X-MSS Multi-System Selector provides control of up to 8 NOVA control systems. If you are
using the Multi-System Selector, you will use the keypad in MSYS mode. The following is an example of a
system using the Multi-System Selector.

Standalone
In a standalone system, there is no control system (CPU). You may connect receivers directly to the keypad
in this configuration. The same is true for a matrix switcher (without CPU card); you may connect one directly
to the keypad in standalone configuration. The keypad serves as a manual switching system capable of
switching 255 cameras onto 128 monitors. It may also provide sequential switching functions by setting all
cameras to sequence on 8 monitors in ascending order. Multiple keypads may be connected.
Up to 255 receivers.
Up to 8 keypads.

4 •Installation X777-08 Rev 1202 Intelligent Remote Control Panels
Summary
The first step in the installation and operation of the keypad is to determine the system mode, or
configuration, as discussed in the previous section. To summarize, you will choose a mode using the
following guidelines.
If you have… then the appropriate configuration is…
• V1200, VPS324 control systems • 1200
• V1300, V1344, V1400, V1422 (VPS328), V1444, V1466
control systems
• 1300 (you may use 1200 for V1300
and V1344 with limitations noted in the
previous section)
• no control system (use keypad to switch cameras to
monitors)
• Standalone
• V1400X-MSS Multi-System Selector • MSYS
In the Programming chapter, you will choose a configuration for the Keypad Type parameter.
MSYS, 1300 & 1200 Configurations
Make connections as shown in the figure and tables below.
Note: A modem may be installed (an RS-232/RS-422 converter is required) between the CPU and the keypad. The CPU
may not respond to modem delay times greater than 3 milliseconds. To adjust the delay time, contact Vicon
Technical Support at 800-34-VICON (800-348-4266).

6 •Programming X777-08 Rev 1202 Intelligent Remote Control Panels
RS-485 End-of-Line Termination
If you connect your keypads using RS-485 as shown in the preceding figure, you must set switch SW39
(located on the rear panel) to indicate the location of the keypad on the bus. Use the following table, noting
that “end-of-line” means either end of the RS-485 bus.
1 2 3 4
ON
5 6 7 8
End-of-Line (or not using RS-485) Set SW39 poles 6, 7, 8 to ON
Not End-of-Line Set SW39 poles 6, 7, 8 to OFF
Programming
Note: Place the RUN/PGM switch in the PGM position.
If you are using a Multi-System Selector, refer to your control system’s instruction manual and set the
Keypad State to Always On in your control system programming menus.
Logging On & Off
You will need a passcode to log on if passwords were previously enabled (passwords are disabled when the
unit is shipped from the factory). To log on:
1. If passwords have been enabled on your keypad, enter a passcode.
2. Press and hold the F1 key and then press the SEQ key.
3. The Status window will display the current mode (SNGL for standalone, 1300, 1200 or MSYS).
To log off, press and hold the F1 key and then press BYPASS.
Keypad Type
You must define the keypad type as the first step in defining a new system. The keypad type that you choose
must be the same as the configuration (mode) that you chose during installation.
1. Press and hold the F1 key and then press the SEQ key to enter the programming mode. “Keypad Type”
should display.
2. Use the joystick to select the correct type, or configuration, for your system.
If you have… then the appropriate configuration is…
• V1200, VPS324 control systems • 1200
• V1300, V1344, V1400, V1422 (VPS328),
V1444, V1466 control systems
• 1300 (you may use 1200 for V1300 and V1344 with
limitations noted in the previous section)
• no control system (use keypad to switch
cameras to monitors)
• Standalone
• V1400X-MSS Multi-System Selector • MSYS
3. Press PP ENTER to accept a new setting or SEQ to advance without saving.
Switch SW39 is located on the rear connector panel as shown in the preceding
figure.
