Materials
Use only cable with a pure copper center
conductor. Do not use cable with either a copper-
plated steel or an aluminum center conductor
because these do not transfer signals effectively in
the frequency range used in CCTV networks. A
center conductor with low DC resistance is
required for effective CCTV operation.
The preferred dielectric material is cellular (foam)
polyethylene. It has better electrical characteristics
than solid polyethylene, but is more vulnerable to
moisture. Therefore, use only solid polyethylene
dielectric cable with a heavy exterior insulation in
applications subject to moisture. The shield must
be copper braid providing 95% or better coverage.
Cable Types
The most commonly used cable types are RG-
59/U and FIG-1 l/U. Each is a family of cables with
widely varying electrical characteristics, some of
which are not suitable for CCTV applications.
Choose a cable type by referring to the
characteristics and maximum distances listed
below. You may exceed the maximum distances
by using video amplifiers to boost the video signal.
Materials and construction must follow the
guidelines above. Note that “Bc” refers to bare
Solid-core bare copper conductor is best suited to
video applications, except where flexing occurs. If
copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.

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 power outlet. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords

Installation
Introduction
The NOVA V1422’” Digital Control and Switching System is a self-contained, full-featured CCTV controller
which may be used with up to 32 camera stations and 8 monitor stations. The camera stations may contain
either NOVA (VPY) or VicoaxB receivers. NOVA receivers may be connected in either simplex mode, which
uses command lines only, or duplex mode, which provide command and response communication between
receivers and the V1422. The V1422 may also communicate with Vicoax receivers, which transmits both video
and control signals over coaxial cable. Vicoax and NOVA (simplex mode) receiver connections provide a less
expensive cabling cost than duplex communications.
The Vi422 contains a built-in alarm interface for 32 alarm inputs and allows 32 receiver alarms. An auxiliary
device may be programmed to activate or deactivate during an active alarm. The common use of this feature
is to connect a VCR to the V1422, which is used to record alarm video. Alarm reports may be printed using a
serial line printer. A relay/audio switcher may be connected to the V1422, permitting simultaneous audible and
visual indication of alarms. The Vi422 contains advanced operating and programming features, such as the
ability to define, recall, and schedule tours. Tours are sequences of video displays, each with a unique dwell
time, pan-and-tilt position, zoom and focus.
Ten keypads may be used in the system (8 remote keypads, the local keypad, and the host computer).
Remote keypads include Vicon’s Intelligent Control Panels V1300X-DVC and V1300X-WC and a personal
computer with ProTechB V1300X-PACP software installed. The V1300X-PACP software allows the user to
control CCTV equipment using the PC monitor and keypad. The local keypad is the front panel of the V1422.
The host computer is used to control CCTV equipment using ProTech software or any other RS-232 drivers.
The graphical interface panels used with ProTech software may contain video images, building layouts, and
keypad simulations in order to provide a graphic representation of the CCTV site.

Cable Recommendations
Vicon recommends specific cable types for connections to keypads, receivers, printer, host computer, and for
connections requiring coaxial cables.
Power Cabling
The power cords are supplied by Vicon. The accessory kit will contain 120 VAC and 230 VAC power cords.
Alarm Auxiliary Equipment Cabling
An auxiliary device may be connected to the V1422 for alarm operation. This dry-contact relay device, typically
a VCR, is programmed to activate or deactivate during an active alarm. For example, a VCR could record
video if an alarm in a high-security area is activated. This function is specified during configuration file
development, as discussed in NOVA V1422 CPU-Based Confro/and Swifchhg System Proganmhg Mama/
X834
A VCR is one example of an auxiliary device that could be connected to the V1422. Since a variety of devices
could be used as the auxiliary device, Vicon does not recommend specific cables. The device which will be
used as the auxiliary equipment must not exceed the relay rating of 0.5 amperes, 30 volts and must be a non-
inductive load.
Audio Switcher Cabling
The V1422 may be connected to Vicon’s V1332AF or V2332AF Relay/Audio-Follow-Video Switchers. Use of a
relay/audio switcher allows audio and video signals to be switched simultaneously, as the Vi422 includes an
internal video switching system. For example, the audio signal from an intercom microphone associated with a
camera can be switched to a speaker at the guard station at the same time the video is switched to the
guard’s monitor.
One ribbon cable is required to connect the Vi422 to a relay/audio switcher. This cable is included with the
V1332AF or V2332AF Relay/Audio-Follow-Video Switcher.
Local Alarm Cabling
Local alarms are wired directly to jack J2 on the V1422 rear connector panel. These local alarms do not
include alarms which are connected to receivers. (Receiver alarm signals are communicated to the V1422
through receiver jack J4, unless the receiver is a Vicoax receiver, then they are transmitted through a video
cable.)
One two-conductor cable will be needed per alarm device. The wire gauge and specific type of cable are not
specified by Vicon, however, the total loop resistance of the cable must be less than 1.5 Kohms.

Video Cabling
The video signals from cameras are carried via coaxial cable meeting the recommendations in the front of this
manual. One coaxial cable will be required per camera. If the video signals from cameras will be routed to
other CCTV equipment, one additional cable will be required per connection. The V1422-end of the coaxial
cables must be terminated with a male BNC connector.
An additional coaxial cable terminated with a male BNC connector is required for each monitor connection. Up
to eight monitors may be used in a Vi422 CCTV system.
Video Confro/ C&Ming
Vicoax communication uses the same coaxial cable to transmit video and control signals. The following table
lists the Vicon-recommended cable types and maximum operating distances for Vicoax communication.
Table 3
Vicoax Cable Maximum Operating Distance
Control Cabling to Keypad Jack J3 and Receiver Jack J4
The appropriate cable used for communications between the V1422 and a CCTV system component depends
upon the distance between the two units. Table 4 lists six Vicon-recommended cable types and the
corresponding maximum operating distances. All cable types in Table 4 are dual cable except Belden 9182.
Dual cable contains two sets of cables which are shielded to prevent communications between the two sets.
Response signals are transmitted in one set and command signals are transmitted in the other set. Each set
contains two conductors, which are individually shielded, and a ground. Therefore a dual cable has six
conductors: two conductors plus a ground in each of two sets of conductors. Belden 9182 is not dual cable - it
contains two individually-shielded conductors and a ground for a total of three conductors.
Table 4

I.-” - Cable TYP
Belden 9406
Keypad Jack J3
Referring to Table 4, choose the appropriate cable type per the maximum operating distance between the
keypad (or distribution line control) and the VI 422.
6 l Installation
X826 Rev 798 NOVA VI 422

The number of cables required depends upon the cable type. One cable will be required for any cable type in
Table 4 except for Belden 9182. Because Belden 9182 contains only three conductors and six connections are
required, the choice of Belden 9182 will mandate the use of two cables.
Receiver Jack J4
Referring to Table 4, choose the appropriate cable type per the maximum operating distance between the
receiver (or distribution line control) and the VI 422.
The number of cables required depends upon the communications mode. Simplex communications require
the use of command lines only, which enable the Vi422 to communicate with the receiver but do not allow
receiver responses to be returned. Both response and command lines are connected for duplex mode, which
allows two-way communications between the Vi422 and receiver. For example, receiver alarm and
communication failure messages can display on the Vi422 local keypad LCD window if response lines have
been connected.
Choose either simplex or duplex operation and refer to the appropriate following section for the number of
cables required.
Nofe: Advanced features such as tounhg andsector f/dhg requhe dup/ex operation.
Sihpiex Operafion
Because simplex mode requires only three connections (command lines only), dual cable is not required. One
Belden 9182 cable will be required to connect the receiver or distribution line control to the VI422 in simplex
communications mode. As shown in Table 4, these units may be located up to 25,000 feet apart using this
cable.
Dup/ex Operafion
Both command and response connections are required for duplex operation. One cable will be required for
duplex operation for any cable type chosen from Table 4 except for Belden 9182. Because six connections are
required for duplex operation and one Belden 9182 cable contains only three conductors, two cables are
required if Belden 9182 is used.
Cabling to Printer Jack J5 and Host Computer Jack J6
The Vi422 rear connector panel includes two RS-232 ports. Jack J5 is used to transmit alarm reports to a
serial line printer. A host computer may be connected to jack J6. Vicon’s ProTech software may be installed
on the host computer to provide a graphic means of controlling and monitoring camera stations. Alternatively,
the NOVA command set may be used to communicate with the V1422 without the ProTech software, as
discussed in NOVA VI422 Host Compuer Interface Solyware hstruction Manual X678: The host computer
may also be used to develop the configuration file.
One Belden 9536 cable will be required to connect the printer to the V1422 at an approximate distance of six
feet. One Belden 9536 cable will be required to connect the host computer to the V1422.
