Operation
Following the complete installation and setup of the SurveyorVFT, it is necessary to perform initial power-up
testing and verify proper operation. If the SurveyorVFT fails to power-up correctly, go to the Troubleshooting
sub-section of this section. When initial power-up has been completed and verified, SurveyorVFT can be
setup and operated in a normal fashion using a Vicon remote operator keypad, VPS/NOVA/Pilot unit or
through a PC running the Surveyor Direct Control program; the ViconNet can be run from a ViconNet
workstation.
Initial Power-Up

Power-Up Test Screen
1. Setup an appropriate monitor within
the vicinity of the SurveyorVFT.
Connect the video out cable to the
monitor. Power-on the monitor and
verify that no signal is displayed.
2. Verify that the SurveyorVFT has been
installed, wired and configured in
accordance with this manual.
3. Switch the AC power on to the
SurveyorVFT. The monitor will display
the power-up test screen (Figure 26)
for the duration of its initial testing. This
test displays the status of the functions
pan, tilt, zoom, focus and the integrity
of the memory (NVRAM). If any test
fails, “FAIL” displays in place of
“PASS.”
4. The SurveyorVFT then switches to the
opening screen (Figure 27). This
screen will display the camera dome
program version, current date/time and
some of the current DIP switch
settings. Upon completion of homing,
the SurveyorVFT is ready to verify
proper operation. (Note: Figure 27 is
only a sample screen.)
