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.

Defining the Joystick Control Range
Use this procedure to define:
• how much deflection from the center position is required before a function is activated, and
• how far the joystick needs to be deflected from the center position in order to reach full speed.
1. Press and hold the F1 key and then press the SEQ key to enter the programming mode.
2. Press SEQ repeatedly until “Enter Diagnostic Mode” displays in the STATUS window.
3. Press PP ENTER.
