Testing and Adjustment Procedures
The following adjustments are made to obtain an acceptable picture on the monitor. These adjustments are
normally made during installation.
For All Adjustments
1. After attaching the mating connector to the lens cable according to Figure 3, plug the lens cable into the
LENS connector on the back of the unit (see Figure 1).
2. Plug the AC power cord into the appropriate power source. Vicon strongly recommends the use of line
conditioners, voltage regulators, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
3. Use the P&TPAD disc to direct the camera onto a scene that contains objects in both the foreground and
background. Press the FOCUS NEAR push button to bring the closer object into focus, and then press the
FOCUS FAR push button to bring the distant object into focus. This confirms the correct connection and
operation of the FOCUS control system.
4. Use the same scene previously selected and press the ZOOM IN push button to enlarge the image of the
distant object in the field-of-view. Pressing ZOOM OUT causes a much larger portion of the scene to be
included in the monitor image, producing a “wide angle” effect.
5. Operate the IRIS OPEN push button. The scene viewed on the monitor becomes lighter. Then press the IRIS
CLOSE push button. The scene becomes darker.
Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage switch, located on the main printed circuit board inside the control, provides compensation for
voltage loss caused by longer cable runs between the control and the motorized lens or compensates for
variations in lens torque requirements.
Caution: Before removing the top assembly to gain access to the output voltage switch, disconnect the AC
power cord from the power source.
1. Turn the control upside down, being careful to avoid placing weight on the SPEED control knob. Remove the
six (6) screws identified in Figure 5.
2. Hold the upper and lower housings together and turn the unit right side up. Reconnect the AC power.
Caution: Under no circumstances should the voltage be set for a higher output level than needed for the
distances specified in Table 2.

6•• Installation X458 Rev 700 V1101C
3. Check the lens response speed with switch S20 in the slow (S) setting. IF the response is too slow, move
the switch to the medium position and check the lens operation again. If necessary, move the switch to the
fast position.
4. Reassemble the top and bottom housings and replace the six (6) retaining screws.

Housing Controls
The CAM (camera) switch controls the power to the camera. Press once for power on; press again for power off.
The WIPR (wiper) switch turns the window wiper accessory on or off. The WSHR (washer) accessory is
designed to direct a small high-pressure stream of water at the window To obtain the best washing action, turn
the wiper on first. Operate the momentary washer switch for about two seconds for each wash. The water
container holds enough solution for approximately 70 two-second washes.

X458 Rev 700 V1101C Operation •• 7
Operation
Refer to Figure 1 for front panel controls.
Power
When the AC power cord is plugged into the appropriate power source, the POWER light illuminates, indicating
that the unit is energized. Vicon strongly recommends the use of line conditioners, voltage regulators, and
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
Pan-and-Tilt
Pan is the horizontal change in camera direction, moving the field-of-view to the left or right. Tilt is a vertical
change in camera direction, raising or lowering the field-of-view.
To pan or tilt the camera, press the top, bottom, left or right dimple on the P&TPAD multiposition disc. When
pressed between two dimples, the multiposition disc drives pan and tilt functions simultaneously.
To set the unit for automatic pan (autopan) operation, press the A/P switch. The unit now pans continuously
between preselected limits. To discontinue autopan operation, press the A/P switch again. As manual pan
functions (obtained by pressing the multiposition disc) are wired to have priority over the autopan function, it is
not necessary to place the control in the manual mode if the operator wishes to momentarily interrupt autopan
operation.
Lens
Operating controls and their corresponding functions are listed in Table 3. All controls, except for the output
voltage switch, are located on the front panel. To access the output voltage switch, follow the instructions under
Output Voltage Selection.
Table 3
Lens Operation Controls
Controls Function
SPEED Control Position of the SPEED control determines the speed at which all normal
functions respond, such as IRIS, ZOOM and FOCUS. Rotating the
SPEED control in a clockwise direction increases response speed for
these products.
IRIS (OPEN/CLOSE) Push Buttons Pressing the OPEN or CLOSE push button regulates the amount of light
in the scene as viewed on the monitor.
ZOOM (IN/OUT) Push Buttons Pressing the IN push button enlarges the object. Pressing the OUT push
button broadens the view of screen.
FOCUS (NEAR/FAR) Push Buttons Pressing the NEAR or FAR push button adjusts for focus on the object
as viewed on the monitor by the operator.
Output Voltage Switch (internal) Selects low, medium or high voltage output. Refer to Output Voltage
Selection.
