POWER: 9Volt to 15Volt AC or DC at 75ma INDICATORS: Front panel LEDs: Power, Rx, & Tx VICON DATA IN: (1) mating 3-pin screw terminal connector VICON RSP OUT: (1) mating 3-pin screw terminal connector DIAMOND DATA OUTPUTS: (4) mating 3-pin screw terminal connectors PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The SCT-1041 is a Vicon to Diamond Electronics control code translator designed to permit control of Diamond cameras from Vicon controllers. It receives Vicon RS-422 commands and transmits the appropriate commands in Diamond Electronics RS-422 format. There are four inde- pendent Diamond outputs. Internal configuration switches set the code translator to work with either fixed or variable speed capable Vicon controllers. The Diamond output code is sent at 9600 baud. Input and output connections are made with mating screw terminal connectors. Front panel LEDs indicate status of power, receive, transmit, and program mode. There is an optional 19" rack mount panel (one rack unit high). 4 High Address Low Address U11 U10 U9 U8 U13 U7 U6 U3 U5 U4 CN7 CN6 CN5 CN4 CN3 CN2 CN1 U2 U1 SW4 SW3 SW1 SW2 SENNETECH 55-9702 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 On Off Off On Off On 1 2 3 SW4-1 VICON CONTROLLER ON: VARIABLE SPEED OFF: FIXED SPEED The preferred method of operation is simplex mode, with only the Vicon cmd data line connected. If the Vicon response line is connected for duplex operation, the code translator will appear as a group of cameras to the controller. To prevent interference between the responses from the code translator and any Vicon cameras in the system, set the switches to exclude any Vicon camera addresses. Note: If the Vicon control system is operating in simplex mode and does not require the response line, the address switches can be set to the maximum range. SETTING THE SWITCHES To set the configuration switches, remove the back panel, which is secured by two screws. Then slide the cover back to expose the switches. The switches can be changed while the code trans- lator is powered up and the new settings will take effect immediately. SW3-1 GLOBAL IRIS COMMANDS ON: ENABLED OFF: DISABLED This switch is ignored if SW3-4 is ON. Some Diamond receivers require the auto iris status bits to be sent continuously along with the pan, tilt, zoom, and focus. If this switch is ON, the operator can change the global setting for the code translator. When auto iris is set to Global On, the auto iris bits will be sent to each camera as it is being controlled. An individual camera ad- dress can be set to the opposite of the global setting. SW3-2 GLOBAL IRIS DEFAULT ON: AUTO IRIS OFF: MANUAL IRIS Sets the default state for the iris commands on power-up SW3-4 KD6 OPERATION ON: MAXPRO MODE OFF: NORMAL MODE Set to ON if connecting to KD6 domes con- figured for operation with a Maxpro control- ler (This is the preferred setup.) Set to match the lowest camera address to which the code translator will respond Set to match the highest camera address to which the code translator will respond
