11. Grounding - This applies to video products
equipped with a &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 Protectioti - 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 particular 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 provide 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-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
14. Lightning - For added protection for this video
product when it is not used for long periods of time,
disconnect it from its power source and from the cable
system. This prevents damage to the video product due
to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Power Lines - An outside cable system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside cable system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
16. Overloading ‘- Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of
any kind into this video product through openings as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or shot-l out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the video product.
16. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this video
product yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service - Disconnect this video
product from its power source and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following
conditions. Note that step c does not apply to outdoor
camera housings, outdoor pan-and-tilt drives and other
equipment specifically designed for direct exposure to
outdoor environments.
a.
b.
C.
d.
e.
f.
When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the video product.
If the video product has been exposed to rain or
water.
If the video product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions, as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the video product to its normal operation.
If the video product has been dropped or the cabinet
has been damaged.
When the video product exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by Vicon or that have the
same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this video product, ask the service technician
to perform safety checks to determine that the video
product is in proper operating condition.

Administration Menus, up to 32 users may be defined to the system by an unique login identification number.
The requirement that administrators input a passcode in addition to the login identification number provides a
second level of security. The privilege level of V1422 users must be specified as operator, manager, or
administrator. Operators do not have access to the programming menus of the V1422. Administrators have
full access to programming menus; managers have limited access.

Preliminary Operations
Operations preliminary to programming include connecting the VI422 to the required system components,
becoming familiar with the local keypad, and specifying the programming mode.
Required Connections
Installation of the majority of CCTV components in the system may be performed before or after system
programming. Programming requires that at least a monitor, camera, and lens be connected to the V1422.
The monitor used to display programming screens is referred to as the edit monitor. Note that display controls
cannot be set for the edit monitor while it is being used for programming (a second monitor is required). Any of
the eight monitor outputs on the V1422 rear connector panel may be used for the edit monitor. Perform the
procedures in NOVA V7422 CPU-Based Contro/ and Swifchhg System Mama/ X826 to connect CCTV
equipment to the V1422.
This system should only be installed by a qualified technician using approved materials and wiring practices in
accordance with the national, state, and local electrical codes.
Control Panel
Programming Keys and Joystick
A subset of the V1422 control panel keys is used to specify the system configuration from menus displayed on
the edit monitor. Throughout this manual, the V1422 control panel will be referred to as the local keypad.
Vicon’s V1300X-DVC and -RVC Intelligent Remote Control Panels and add-on PCs (personal computers with
ProTech V1300X-PACP Add-On Control hardware and software installed) will be referred to as remote
keypads. The functionality of the keys on the local keypad varies with the programming screens and therefore
is discussed in the appropriate sections. A layout of the local keypad is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1
VI422 Local Keypad
The joystick on the local keypad is used to select options from programming menus. During normal operation,
the pan and tilt angle and speed (when applicable) are controlled by the joystick. If the joy-stick operation is
not as expected or required, use the diagnostic and calibration procedures discussed in fistJuysLWon page
80 and Re-C&&ate Joyst/i=kon page 81.
Accessing the Programming Screens
Referring to Figure 1, set the RUN/PGM switch to PGM in order to specify the programming mode. After
specifying the mode, local keys must be used in the correct sequence to access the programming screens.
Perform the following steps, referring to Figure 1 for key location.
1. Press and hold the F-l key.
2. Press and release the SEQ key.
3. Release the Fl key. The Edit Monitor Setup screen will display.
The Edit Monitor Setup screen is used to define the edit monitor and camera, as described in E&?Mon/or
Setupon page 5.
Exiting the Programming Screens
After developing the customized configuration, the editing mode should be exited in order to allow normal
operation. Perform the following steps, referring to Figure 1 for key location. Note that these steps should be
performed after all programming has been completed.

Edit Monitor Setup
After performing the prerequisite procedures from the preceding sections, the Edit Monitor Setup screen
should be overlaid on the video from camera 01 on monitor 01. While monitor 01 and camera 01 are the
default selections until another set are specified, any monitor and camera combination may be used to display
the programming screens. As the programming screens will overlay the video from the camera specified in
this section, the background provided by the video should be optimized for program screen visibility.
If monitor 01 and camera 01 will define the default edit monitor setup, press the HOME key to save these
settings. Otherwise, use the LCD and control panel keys to edit the monitor and camera numbers by
performing the following steps.
Cam #: 01
MON = set mon.#
SEQIBYP = set cam#
FAIL = abort
1. Designate the edit monitor by pressing the MON key (refer to Figure 1 for location) to increment the
monitor number, referring to the upper left of the LCD.
2. Edit the camera number by pressing the SEQ key to increment or the BYPASS key to decrement. Refer to
Figure 1 for the location of these keys. Refer to the upper right corner of the LCD for current camera
number.
3. Press the HOME key to store the currently-selected edit monitor and camera. The Main Menu will display.
Press FAIL to enter the RUN mode without saving the edited settings.
Menu-Driven Program Screens
The menu-driven program screens are used to display parameters and options to the user during system
configuration. All major programming screens may be accessed from the Main Menu by using the numeric
keypad to enter a selection.

System Programming
System programming is the process of selecting operating parameters which define a particular CCTV
system. The set of operating parameters specified during the programming process is a system configuration.
Using the local keypad, selections are made from menu-driven programming screens which are displayed on
the edit monitor. System diagnostics are also performed from programming screens.
The parameters for every setting are discussed in this chapter. The Menu Path is used to show the sequence
of choices used to display the menu under discussion. The last paragraph of each section typically includes
Setting, Parameters, and Local Keys listings. Refer to Figure 1 for local keypad layout.

Administration Menus
The Administration Menus are used to specify supervisory parameters such as user privileges, edit monitor
and host computer configuration, and timed events. The V1422 allows three levels of user privilege which limit
access to specific programming screens and functions. The screen layout of the edit monitor may be defined
in the Administration Menus, although the identification of the edit monitor must be performed through the Edit
Monitor Setup screen. Communication settings, such as the baud rate and parity, must be set in order to
transmit data through the host port. Scheduling of timed events is also performed from Administration Menus.
Enter a menu number using the numeric keypad. To return to the previous menu, press the FAIL key on the
local keypad.

Set User Profiles
User profiles contain the information necessary to identify each user in the Vi422 CCTV system. The three
privilege levels are operator, manager, and administrator. Operator privileges allow a user to operate the
VI422 but do not allow access to programming screens. Typically, a configuration will contain more users with
operator privilege than with manager or administrator privileges. Manager privilege provides access to all
programming screens except for the Administration, System Diagnostics, and Install Default Menus. Note that
if a manager logs on to the system, the Main Menu will only display four menu selections. Administrator
privilege permits unrestricted access to all menus. Up to 32 users with unique profiles are allowed in a
configuration, however, only 3 users may have administrator privileges.
A login identification number must be defined for each user. Keypad access is also defined in this screen. This
setting specifies which keypad(s) will be accessible to each user in the system.
The joystick is used to position the cursor vertically, thereby specifying a setting to be edited. Each setting is
described in the following sections. The last paragraph of each section typically includes Setting, Parameters,
and Local Keys listings. To edit a parameter, use the keys as identified in Local Keys. Use the HOME key to
save all settings for all users and return to the previous screen. The FAIL key will return to the previous screen
without saving selections.
