Verifying Proper Operation
Set up a remote keypad via RS-422/485 or a Pilot/NOVA/VPS CPU via RS-422/485 or Vicoax protocol to the
SurveyorVFT. Power-on the control device and verify that it boots up. Set up the control device for operation
with the SurveyorVFT in accordance with its Installation and Operation Manual.
For a Vicon model V1300X-RVC or V1300X-DVC keypad connected directly to the SurveyorVFT or through a
CPU, use the following procedure to access SurveyorVFT programming:

Main Menu
1. Slide the keypad’s PGM-RUN switch to the
PGM position.
2. Press the PP ENTER key; the PRESET LED
displays a blinking 0.
3. Press the 9 and 4 numeric keys in that order.
4. Press the PP ENTER key again. The PRESET
LED display remains with the number 94 and
the monitor displays the SurveyorVFT Main
Menu, as shown in Figure 28.
5. Set up the SurveyorVFT as desired using the
remote keypad. Proper operation has been
verified.
Testing Preset 93
In Duplex mode only, if the dome is not responding back to the CPU that it is performing functions
(ex.,.autoiris, autopan, alarm), perform the following:
1. Press PP ENTER key.
2. Press the 9 and 3 numeric keys in that order.
3. If the LEDs on the A/I and A/P keys light, your unit is responding.
4. Press AUX2 to acknowledge baud rate/polarity.
Use of the Auto-Baud Detect Feature
Auto-baud detect functions after installing defaults,
using preset 95, when switching Vicoax to
Pilot/NOVA (VPS) and upon power-up when the
dome sees an incorrect baud rate from keypad or
control system. It allows the camera dome to detect
a new baud rate from the host controller without
having to cycle AC power. This feature is especially
useful when the camera dome will be set up
remotely at one baud rate and installed into a
system having a different baud rate. See Figure 29.
(Note: Figure 29 is only a sample screen.)

Auto-Baud Detect Screen
After configuration of SurveyorVFT is complete, set
the baud rate for the new host system before
powering down and disconnecting as follows:
1. Slide the keypad’s PGM-RUN switch to the
PGM position.
