Unpacking

Unpack carefully and handle the equipment with care. The packaging contains:

• Integrated FlexiDome camera
• Mounting hardware kit
  Installation manual

Note

If equipment appears to have been damaged during shipment, repack it in the original packaging and notify the shipping agent or supplier.

Caution

Installation should only be performed by qualified service personnel in accordance with the National Electrical Code or applicable local codes.

Disassembly

The camera/housing unit consists of the following parts:

Caution

The camera module is a sensitive device and must be handled carefully. Do not drop when disassembling the unit.

To disassemble the unit proceed as follows:

• Rotate the trim ring counterclockwise to release it from its bayonet on the camera base.
• Remove the trim ring with dome.
• Remove the inner liner by pulling it off of the base.

Mounting the unit

The unit may be mounted in several different ways depending on the type of surface, whether an electrical box is used and whether the connection is via the rear or the side (surface mounted).

Caution

Installation should only be performed by qualified service personnel in accordance with the National Electrical Code or applicable local codes.

If the unit is surface mounted, use the separately available surface mounting box (VDA-445SMB) and mount the unit onto this base.

Tips

• Refer to the dimensions drawing to find the exact position of the screw holes and the entry hole for the wires.

• Partially screw in two screws for the keyholes and use them to temporarily hang the camera while the connections are made.

The following figures show the different ways of mounting the unit.

Figure 1 Rear connection - hollow surface

Figure 2 Connection to an electrical box (4S)

Figure 3 Surface mounting - side connection

Figure 4 Surface mounting - rear connection

Raised mounting

When using the surface mounting box:

• With a side connection, remove the cap covering the side entrance.
  With a rear connection, leave the cap in place.
• Attach the conduit to the mounting base.
• Make the connection inside the mounting case.

Connection and set-up

Power and video connections

The wiring harness has a BNC connector to accept the video coax cable (with male BNC connector) and two stripped low voltage power wires for connection to a power connector. (A UTP adapter is available as an accessory to allow a UTP video cable to be connected to the BNC connector.)

Caution

Before proceeding, be sure to disconnect the power from the cable to be installed into the unit. Be sure that the unit is of the proper voltage type for the line power being used.

The easiest way to connect the low voltage power lines and the video connection is as follows:

• Bring the building connections through the surface wire hole so that they hang clear.
• Partially insert two screws into the pre-drilled holes.
• Using the keyholes, hang the mounting base on one screw temporarily and tilt the base slightly to gain access to the cable connections.
• Connect the BNC connector of the camera module to the video coax cable.
• Connect the stripped power wires to the power supply connector.

Note

For a DC supply the polarity is not important. For an AC supply try to maintain a consistent wiring polarity in multiple camera systems to help avoid rolling when switching.

• Push the connections back through the surface wire hole.
• Secure the mounting base to the surface with three screws.

Setting up the camera

You can connect a monitor to the miniature 2.5mm jack socket on the printed circuit board to help set up the camera. This socket provides a composite video signal (with sync). An optional cable (code number S1460) is available for making this connection.

Camera positioning

The physical default position of the camera is that the top of the image corresponds to the indication TOP.

Caution

The CCD image sensors are highly sensitive and require special care for proper performance and extended lifetime. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or bright spotlights in operating and non-operating conditions. Avoid bright lights in the field of view of the camera.

The camera module position can be adjusted along three axes. When adjusting the camera position ensure that the picture display on the monitor is level. Set the camera to the desired position by performing the following steps:

• For horizontal adjustment (pan), rotate the camera module in the base. Do not rotate more than 360^ .
• For vertical adjustment (tilt), loosen thumbscrews, position camera, then gently tighten thumbscrews to secure camera.
• To obtain a horizontal horizon (for tilted ceilings or sidewall mounting), rotate the base of the lens as necessary to align the picture shown on the monitor. Do not rotate more than 340^ .

Focal length and focus

• To set the field of view of the varifocal lens, loosen the focal length screw and turn the mechanism until the required view is displayed on the monitor. (Image goes out of focus.)
• Focus the image on the monitor by loosening the focus screw and turning the mechanism until the image is in focus.
• Readjust the focal length if necessary.
• Repeat these two adjustments until the desired view is in focus.
• Tighten both screws.

Verify that the image stays in focus when the dome is held in place. Refocus if necessary.

Closing the unit

When the camera position is set and all adjustments have been made, close the unit.

• Place the inner liner in position aligning its fin with the bracket on the base.
• Place the trim ring with dome onto the base. (If necessary clean its surface with a soft cloth.)
  Fix the trim ring onto the camera base by rotating clockwise.

Advanced Set-up

The FlexiDome ^VF normally provides an optimal picture without the need for further adjustments. However, advanced set-up options are available for getting the best results from the camera under special circumstances. There are two menus; a Main menu and an Installer menu.

The Main menu allows you to select and set-up the picture enhancement functions for each mode. If you are not happy with your changes, you can always recall the default values for the mode.

The camera also has an Installer menu in which the installation settings can be set.

The Main and Installer menus have functions that can be selected directly or submenus for more detailed set-up.

Accessing and navigating menus

Five keys are used for navigating through the various menus. To access the set-up menus, press the menu/select key (center). The main menu appears on the OSD. Use the arrow keys for navigation.

When the Bilinx^TM communications link is active, the buttons on the camera are disabled. You can also set up Bilinx^TM so that the camera buttons remain disabled even when Bilinx^TM is not actively controlling the camera. This prevents unauthorized change of the camera settings.

Menu Structure

* Only for the Color version of the camera.

Hints for menu navigation

How to use the 5 keys

• Press the menu/select key to access the menus or to move to the next or previous menu.

Camera control communication

This camera is equipped with a coaxial communications transceiver. In combination with VP-CFGSFT, the camera can be adjusted from the head-end side of the coaxial cable. All menus can be accessed remotely giving full control of the camera. With this communication it is also possible to disable the local keys on the camera. To avoid loss of communication on an installed camera, the Communication ON/OFF selection is not available while using remote control. This function can only be accessed with the camera buttons.
