2. Press the PP ENTER key; the PRESET LED displays a blinking 0.
3. Press the 9 and 5 numeric keys in that order.
4. Press the PP ENTER key again. The PRESET LED display remains with the number 95. The monitor will
display the power-up test screen (Figure 26) for the duration of its initial testing.
5. The SurveyorVFT then switches to the opening screen (Figure 27). This screen will display the camera
dome program version, current date/time, the current address and a request to send communications to
baud detect. Move the joystick or press buttons to send commands and commence auto-baud detect.
Troubleshooting
If the SurveyorVFT does not power-up correctly, check the following:
⇒ Check if the power LED DP2 on the Customer Interface Board is on. If the voltage is too low, the LED will
stay off.
⇒ Verify, with a voltmeter, that 18 to 32 VAC is measured across TB1, pins 1 and 2. If not, check the
integrity of the power wiring. If less than 18 VAC is measured, it is probable that the power cable length is
too long. Check the maximum usable cable distance for the voltage input as stated in Table of the
Technical Information section. If 18 to 32 VAC is measured, return the SurveyorVFT back to factory for
service in accordance with the Shipping Instructions section of this manual.
⇒ If the last screen displays and does not disappear, the SurveyorVFT is not communicating with the
control device. Verify that the SurveyorVFT address is selected on the control device. Sometimes moving
the joystick can begin communication. If communication cannot be established, check the integrity of the
control signal wiring. If all wiring is correct, swap the camera drive and re-check. If the new camera drive
communicates, return the SurveyorVFT back to the factory for service in accordance with the Shipping
Instructions section of this manual.
⇒ If the SurveyorVFT is intermittently operational or operating independently, it is possible that the
communications (control) wiring is incorrect. Re-check proper placement of the control and response
signals on the terminal block. Also, verify that SW2, switch 3 is set for Half Duplex in a Half Duplex wired
SurveyorVFT.
⇒ If the SurveyorVFT powers up but does not display any video, it is possible that there is a poor video
cable connection. Verify that BNC connectors are attached at the camera dome and monitor/CPU. In
addition, verify that the cable is not damaged. It is common for the cable to be stretched or squashed
somewhere along its run. If possible, check the output locally, with a portable monitor, at the actual
camera dome site.
