Unfitted receives and transmits via VICTA COAX
Note : For Link locations see Appendix A on page 21.
VC1 Variable trimmer capacitor adjusts caption widths of OSD text.
3.2 CONNECTING THE ZVR-310
Connect up the ZVR-310 in accordance with the accompanying wiring diagram, paying special
attention to the maximum ratings and the notes below.
1. The ZVR-310 MUST be Earthed at the AC input supply terminal.
2. NEVER run cables directly under the PCB as this may interfere with the operation of the
Telemetry ZVR-310 and other camera head equipment.
3. ALWAYS use Screened cables for low voltage and signal cables ensuring the screen is
connected to 0V or Earth.

MEYERTECH DIVISION ISSUE 03
Page 6
4. AVOID looming cables of differing characteristics together E.G. Video cables with cables
carrying mains power.
5. If the ZVR-310 is to be operated over twisted pair cable ensure the screen is connected to 0V.
6. If N/O alarms are selected link-out unused inputs to the alarm common.
7. The maximum cable run for Twisted Pair is typically 2Km.
8. The maximum cable run for VICTA is typically 750m.
9. The maximum number of Telemetry Receivers that can be connected to a single driver output
is 32.
10. The cable used to wire the secondary of the transformer should be a minimum of 0-5mm2.
11. Observe the polarity of the brake wiring. Incorrect connection will result in vibration when
coming out of a mechanical end stop.
To test the ZVR-310 locally press the SELF-TEST switch for approximately 3 seconds. The ZVR-310
will then perform a self test cycle exercising each function in turn. Status LED’s are provided for +12V
and Comms. Received (RXD).
3.3 ADDRESS SETTING
To set the ZVR-310 receiver address:
1. Press and Hold the Self Test Button on the ZVR-310. (See PCB Overview)
2. Apply power to the ZVR-310.
3. When the ZVR-310 powers up, an On Screen Display will display the current receiver address
and give instructions for changing the address.
4. The Self Test button is used to change the receiver address by stepping from left to right
through three numeric fields. These are the Hundreds, Tens and Units which make up the
ZVR-310 network address. A flashing cursor highlights the current field.
5. Momentary key presses increment the value displayed within the current field.
6. A key press of longer than 2 seconds steps to the next field. Either Hundredths to Tens, Tens
to Units or Units back to Hundredths.
7. Ensure that the programmed receiver address is valid.
8. A key press of longer than 5 seconds accepts the displayed address and the ZVR-310
continues to power up as normal.

4.3 HEAD FORMATTING
It is important to configure the following ZVR-310 parameters in the following order before attempting
to configure any other parameters. This is only required if the Pan and Tilt head or lens is fitted with
feedback pots.
1. Feedback Pots (Head Functions Menu).
2. Check joystick control. Make any corrections to joystick control within the PTZF Swap Menu
(Head Functions Menu).
3. Set the End Stops for Pan, Tilt, Zoom and Focus (optional).
4.4 OSD MENU SYSTEM
Configuration is divided into five sections within the Setup Main Menu of the On Screen Display. To
select a specific category
ZVK-007 navigate the OSD menu using the Right Hand Joystick and select with the ENT key.
Note : Early versions of ZVK-007 (software issues prior to 2-0) : Do not use the joystick to navigate menu’s.

4.4.1 HEAD FUNCTIONS
The options within this Menu refer to the camera head. It is important to use the facilities within this
menu to customize the receiver to the type of head the receiver is connected to.
PTZF Swap The PTZF SWAP facility is an engineering function to reverse the polarities of
the Pan, Tilt, Zoom and Focus drives. When a receiver is initially installed the
direction of PTZF functions should be checked and reconfigured where
necessary.
Feedback Pots The receiver tests head potentiometers to determine drive feedback and
direction. This also determines whether the head is capable of presets. During
this operation each function (Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Focus) will be exercised by the
receiver as a integrity test. Any faults will be displayed on-screen.
Endstops These can be set for Pan, Tilt, Zoom and Focus. Alternatively, they can be
switched off.
Speed Table Not Applicable.
Error Table Not Applicable.
Softstop Not Applicable.
4.4.2 ALARM FUNCTIONS
The ZVR-310 has the capability to detect and report six contact alarms, one tamper alarm and one
camera fail alarm. The six alarms and tamper alarm can be set to trigger from Normally Open or
Normally Closed contacts via a link on the PCB. The menu options allows the alarms to be globally
enabled or disabled.

4.4.3 MEMORY FUNCTIONS
The options within this Menu refer to the ZVR-310 receivers programmed positions, patrols and text
displayed.
Presets Enter up to sixteen preset camera positions and one Home position (Preset 0)
using the Presets Sub Menu. Select Presets and enter the required preset
number from 0-16. Using the Left and Right hand joysticks, position the
camera as required. Press or ENT to abort.
Ordered Patrol Program an Ordered Patrol sequence of up to sixteen positions consisting of
any of the sixteen preset positions or the Home preset, in any order. A preset
time which controls the length of time the camera stays at each preset position
may be set individually for each point in the patrol sequence.
Random Patrol Program a Random Patrol, by declaring the maximum preset number. The
order in which the presets are recalled and length of time spent at each preset
will be random.
Privacy Zones Up to four privacy zones can be setup. This involves using the monitor display
to mark the top left and bottom right corners of the privacy zone, using the
bottom right corner of the monitor as an approximate marker. Then set the
Zoom point. This gives the option to peruse a scene from a distance, but
gives privacy when zoomed in.
Static Caption On Screen Display text. Up to twelve Alpha-numeric characters may be used.
Dynamic Captions Text changes as the camera is panned through 360°. Up to sixteen captions
each comprising up to twenty four Alpha-numeric characters may be used.
