Vicon V1410 User manual

Connecting a Keypad to a Kollector or PC
The V1410 and V1411 range of Keypads are ideal for use with the Kollector or ViconNet
workstation providing joystick control of any PTZ camera on the network. In all cases a
RS-232/422 protocol converter is required to interface the keypad with the Kollector or PC.
1.
Firstly wire the protocol
converter to the Keypad
breakout box as shown using
Belden 8273 shielded
twisted pair cable.
Note: Another manufacturer’s
converter may have a
different wiring configuration
to the one shown.
Next plug the converter into the
9 pin D comm port of the
Kollector or Workstation PC.
Connect the Keypad using the
CAT5 patch cable supplied and
configure the Keypad to a spare
address (not used by a PTZ
device). Set the baud
rate to 2400* (see note).
2.
Now access the system
settings of the Kollector or
PC by clicking on Set up.
Click on the Control (RS-
232/422/485) button.

3.
In the control settings, add a
control and configure as
shown. Set the baud rate*
and internal comm address
to the same address as used
for the Keypad in step 1. In
this example PTZ cameras
are addressed as 1-16 so the
keypad has been set to 17.
Check the Auto start box if
the Keypad is to be on-line
from start up
4.
Finally to bring the Keypad on-line click on
the control button on the main GUI. Select
the unit to which the Keypad is connected
and click on the Vicon Keypad .dll.
The Keypad should now be shown as on-line
with 1300 displayed on the Keypad. Joystick
control of the selected PTZ camera will then
be possible.
Important Note: Only PTZ functions are
possible in this configuration. The other
Keypad buttons are not operational.
*The baud rate can be set to 2400, 4800 or 9600 as long as the PC and the keypad settings
match. In practise 2400 appears to give the most stable performance.
