IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

GRAPHIC SYMBOL EXPLANATION

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an

equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the pres-

ence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the prod-

uct's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to con-

stitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is

intended to alert the user to the presence of important oper-

ating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the litera-

ture accompanying the unit.

IMPORTANT

ed by Vicon as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this video product in

any location where it may be exposed to water or moisture.

This does not apply to outdoor camera housings, outdoor

pan-and-tilt drives, and other equipment designed for direct

exposure to outdoor environments.

8. Accessories - Do not place this video product on any

unstable surface or table. The video product may fall, caus-

ing serious injury to a person and serious damage to the

video product. Use only with a mounting accessory recom-

mended by Vicon, or sold with the video product. Any

mounting of the video product should follow Vicon's instruc-

tions, and a mounting accessory recommended by Vicon

should be used.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are pro-

vided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the

video product and to protect it from overheating, and these

openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings

should never be blocked by placing the video product on a

rug or other similar surface. This video product should never

be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This video

product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as

a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or

Vicon's instructions have been adhered to.

10. Power Sources - This video product should be operat-

ed only from the type of power source indicated on the

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power sup-

plied to your installation site, consult your Vicon dealer or

local power company. For video products intended to oper-

ate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the oper-

ating instructions.

11. Grounding - This applies to video products equipped

with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third

(grounding) pin. This plug only fits into a grounding-type

insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-

pose of the grounding-type plug.

12. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should

be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying par-

ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,

and the point where they exit from the video product.

13. Outdoor Cable Grounding - If an outside

cable system is connected to the video product, be

sure the cable system is grounded so as to pro-

vide some protection against voltage surges and

built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1984, provides

information with respect to proper grounding of the

lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of

grounding conductors, location of antenna-dis-

charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirements for the grounding electrode.

GENERAL

This manual is a guide to the installation and operation of

the V739 series fiber optic video and data transmission

system. Please read the entire manual before installing

the equipment.

NOTE: The series numbers V739T and V739R are used

to describe all models of transmitters and receivers

unless noted otherwise.

The V739 series video and data transmission system

offers transmission of video from a camera to a monitor-

ing station and a data signal back to the camera over one

multimode fiber.

A single coaxial cable at each end of the link is used to

connect the appropriate equipment to the system.

A complete system consists of a transmitter, V739T, and a

receiver, V739R. Units are designed for standalone oper-

ation or for installation in Vicon’s V515R-PS or V517R-PS

Card Cages (V739R-R and V739T-R).

Both the V739T transmitter and V739R receiver have one

video input and one fiber connector.

Unpacking the Unit

In the event that anything is missing from the following

list, contact your authorized Vicon representative.

V739T Transmitter or V739R Receiver

Instruction manual

Save the original packing materials in case it becomes

necessary to return the unit. Refer to the Shipping

Instructions at the end of this manual.

MODULE SETUP

Alarm Jumper

Rack cards are supplied with an alarm function that goes

active if the optical signal input to the card fails. The

alarm is always indicated on the front panel of the card by

a red LEVEL/LOSS LED. The alarm may also be output

to the rack power supply, where a sonalert (audible

alarm) and alarm output contact closure may be

activated.

The alarm is set to ON (Enabled) at the factory. If the

alarm output is not desired, move jumper W1 to the OFF

(Disabled) position. Refer to Figure 2 for both V739T-R

and V739R-R units.

NOTE: Setting the Alarm Jumpers to OFF does not effect

the operation of the LEVEL/LOSS LED. Loss of optical

signal will always be indicated by a red LEVEL/LOSS

LED.

INSTALLATION

Installation Considerations

This fiber-optic link is supplied in two forms, as a stand-

alone module and as a rack card. Units should be

installed in dry locations protected from extremes of tem-

perature and humidity.

Standalone Modules

1. Determine where the module is to be installed and

ensure that there is adequate space at both ends for

making the various cable connections and for reading

the diagnostic LEDs.

2. Standalone modules are provided with mounting

holes for four No. 6 screws (3-mm or 3.5-mm

screws). The type of screw used for installation must

be suitable for the surface on which the module is to

be mounted.

Rack Cards

Rack cards are designed to be installed in one of Vicon’s

19-inch (483-mm) EIA standard card-cage racks, either

the V515R-PS or the V517R-PS. Follow these steps after

selecting data format, contact closure and alarm output.

CAUTION: Although a rack card may be installed

without turning off power to the rack (hot-swap-

pable), Vicon recommends that the power switch on

the rack power supply is turned OFF and that the rack

power supply is disconnected from any power source.

1. Make sure that the card is oriented right-side up and

slide it into the card guides in the rack until the edge

connector at the back of the card seats in the corre-

sponding slot in the rack’s connector panel. Seating

may require thumb pressure on the top and bottom of

the card’s front panel.

CAUTION: Take care not to press on any of the

LEDs.

2. Tighten the two thumb screws on the card until the

front panel of the card is seated against the front of

the rack.

CONNECTIONS

Video Cable Connection

Connect the video source cable to the input BNC jack on

the V739T transmitter. Connect monitor equipment to the

output BNC jack on the V739R receiver.

Vicon suggests that Belden number 9259 or equivalent

coaxial cable should be used.

Fiber Optic Cable Connection

Most cable manufacturers identify the individual fibers in

the cable. Select appropriately terminated fiber and mark

both ends with unique identification label (e.g., for cable

no. 03, fiber no. 08) to ensure that the fiber connected to

the near end is the same one that is connected to the far

end. The proper optical connection links the transmitter's

OUT port to the receiver's IN port.

1. Wipe the inside of the port’s sleeve with a lint-free

pipe cleaner moistened with reagent-grade isopropyl

alcohol. Blow dry with dry air.

2. Clean the connector using a lint-free cloth dampened

with alcohol to thoroughly wipe the side and end of

the ferrule. Blow the ferrule dry with dry air. Visually

inspect the ferrule for lint.

3. Fasten the fiber optic cable to the port.

Power Connections

Standalone modules may be powered either by 12 - 16

VAC or by 12 - 16 VDC. Connect input power according

to the label on the module. See Figure 3.

Rack modules’ power connections are made automatical-

ly when the card is installed. To supply power to the rack,

connect the rack power supply to an AC outlet and set the

power switch to ON.

OPERATION

V739 links operate automatically once installed. Refer to

LED OPERATION and Tables 1 and 2 for an explanation

of LED color codes.

LED OPERATION

The V739 has 5 LED indicators that are very useful in

describing the current state of operation, as well as the

current status of data flow and fiber optic signal strength.

These indicators are LEVEL/LOSS, VIDEO IN

(Transmitter) or VIDEO OUT (Receiver), CMND IN

(Transmitter), CMND OUT (Receiver), RESP OUT

(Transmitter), RESP IN (Receiver) and SYNC IN

(Transmitter), SYNC OUT (Receiver). Tables 1 and 2 pro-

vide a summary of LED operation. See Figure 4. They

function as follows:

LEVEL/LOSS Indicator

This LED is useful for indicating the relative optical signal

strength at the fiber optic receiver. When sufficient opti-

cal power is being received, the LED shines green. As

the optical power is decreased, as happens through long

fiber runs, splices, or connections, the intensity of the

LEVEL/LOSS LED will diminish until the limit of the

V739's sensitivity range has been reached. At this point

the LED will be OFF. If any additional optical attenuation

is introduced, the LEVEL/LOSS LED will turn bright RED,

indicating an insufficient amount of optical power is being

received.

VICOAX®VIDEO AND DATA SYSTEM

4MODEL V739

VIDEO IN (or OUT) Indicator

This LED indicates the strength of the video signal.

VIDEO IN on the transmitter remains green as long as

adequate video signal is being input to the transmitter. If

the video input becomes too weak, the LED turns red.

The VIDEO OUT LED on the receiver performs a similar

function, except that it refers to the video that is output

from the receiver.

NOTE: The V739 monitors the sync signals on the video

to determine the strength of the signal. It does not mon-

itor the brightness signal. Thus, if the scene in front of a

camera is totally dark, producing a blank monitor screen,

the VIDEO LEDs can still be green.

CMND IN ( or OUT) Indicator

The CMND IN and CMND OUT LEDs monitor the PTZ

Control Data pulses from the monitoring equipment to the

camera equipment. Green LEDs indicate the signal level

of the PTZ commands is greater than 250 millivolts.

These indicators are off when the signal level drops

below 250 millivolts.

RESP IN ( or OUT) Indicator

The RESP IN and OUT LEDS monitor the response sig-

nals from the camera equipment to the monitoring equip-

ment. Green LEDs indicate the signal level of the

response signals is greater than 250 millivolts. These

indicators are off when the signal level drops below 250

millivolts.
