Introduction The information in this manual provides installation, operation and maintenance of the VM5094 and VM5124 High-Resolution Monochrome Monitors. These units should only be installed by a qualified technician using approved materials in conformance with federal, state, and local codes. Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning an installation. The VM5094 and VM5124 Monochrome Monitors, with a horizontal resolution of 1000 lines, produce crisp, highcontrast pictures. The VM5094 has a 9-inch (230 mm) screen; the VM5124 has a 12-inch (305 mm) screen. These compact units are housed in a rugged yet attractively-styled cabinet with a convenient carrying handle. Both units are dual scanning (EIA and CCIR) and incorporate a universal power supply that accommodates 120 or 230 VAC. Both a 120 VAC and 230 VAC line cord are supplied with each monitor. Loop-through connectors and a 75-ohm termination switch are provided on the rear-panel, along with the removable line cord. Operating controls for power, brightness, contrast and horizontal and vertical hold are located behind a front panel door to provide an uncluttered look and prevent accidental movement of the controls. A power LED indicator is located outside the front panel door for easy viewing. Compatible horizontal and vertical time constants allow for stable playback from a video cassette recorder (VCR). Rack mounting kits are available that allow the monitors to be installed in a standard EIA 19-inch rack, VM5093RK (double) and VM5093RK-1 (single) for the VM5094 monitor and VM5123RK (single) for the VM5124 monitor. The VM5094 and VM5124 monitors meet UL safety standard 2044 and comply with FCC requirements for a Class A device.

Installation Unpacking and Inspection All Vicon equipment is inspected and tested before leaving the factory. It is the carrier s responsibility to deliver the equipment in the same condition in which it left the factory. Inspection for Visible Damage Immediately inspect the cartons upon delivery. On all copies of the carrier s freight bill, make a note of any visible damage. Make sure the carrier s agent (the person making the delivery) signs the note on all copies of the bill. If the agent does not have claim forms, contact the carrier s office. Inspection for Concealed Damage As soon as possible after delivery, unpack the unit and inspect it for concealed damage. Do not discard the carton or packing materials. If the unit is damaged, contact the carrier immediately and request forms for filing a damage claim. Make arrangements for a representative of the carrier to inspect the damaged equipment. If the equipment must be returned for repair, follow the Shipping Instructions at the end of this document. Physical Installation Caution: Do not install this monitor in an excessively hot location or in any way obstruct the ventilation holes. Premature component failure or damage to the cabinet may result. Note: When the monitor is not to be used for several days, it is advisable to disconnect the AC power cord from the utility outlet. 1. Plug the power cord into an applicable utility outlet. 2. Connect the coaxial cable from the video equipment to the VIDEO IN connector on the monitor. If there is only one monitor in the system or if this is the last monitor in the system configuration, set the termination switch to 75 ohms (ON). In a loop through configuration, set the termination switch to High Impedance (OFF). See Figure 1. 3. If the loop through configuration is desired, connect a coaxial cable from the VIDEO OUT connector to the VIDEO IN connector of the next monitor or video component. See Figure 1. Make sure that the last video component in the system is terminated to 75 ohms. 2 Installation XX103 Rev 402 VM5094/VM5124 High-Resolution Monitors

Operation Warning: This product includes critical mechanical and electrical parts that are essential to prevent leakage of x-ray radiation from the unit. For continued safety and protection, replacement of critical components should only be performed by qualified service personnel experienced and equipped for the task. Refer to Figure 2 and accompanying table for the location and function of the of the operating controls and indicators. Note: Be sure that the termination switch is set to ON (75 ohms) or OFF (high impedance) as required and that a standard 1.0 V p-p video signal is applied to the monitor s video input. To turn the monitor on, press the Power switch. The power LED illuminates. To adjust the brightness and contrast controls, use those controls to obtain optimum picture quality. If picture quality is poor, check the camera or other video source for proper adjustment. POWER ON/OFF Switch Provides power on-off control. LED Power Indicator Illuminates to indicate when power is on. HORIZONTAL HOLD Control Permits adjustment of horizontal stability. In the event the picture tears leftward or rightward, turn the control clockwise or counterclockwise until picture stabilizes. VERTICAL HOLD Control Permits adjustment of vertical stability. In the event the picture rolls upward or downward, turn the control clockwise or counterclockwise until picture stabilizes. BRIGHTNESS Control Permits adjustment of the overall shading and picture brightness; used to compensate for differences in room lighting. CONTRAST Control Permits the adjustment of the relationship between the light and dark portions of the picture; when properly adjusted, it is possible to observe a fine gradation between blacks, grays and whites. VIDEO INPUT Terminal BNC connector accepts the video signal from a related vide component (i.e. camera or VCR). VIDEO OUTPUT Terminal BNC connector provides loop-through of the input signal to the input signal of related video equipment (i.e. VCR or another monitor). 75 OHM Termination Switch Provides convenient selection of High Impedance or 75 ohm video input impedance. The switch should be set to OFF for loop-through configuration and to ON when video signal is terminated at the monitor. AC Power Cord Provides input power to unit when plugged into an outlet of appropriate voltage. 4 Operation XX103 Rev 402 VM5094/VM5124 High-Resolution Monitors

Coaxial Cable Recommendations Coaxial cables used to route video signals to and from the unit must meet the video recommendations in this section. Caution: Careful selection of the proper cable is essential to obtain the best performance from this equipment. Vicon assumes no responsibility for poor performance when cables other than those recommended are installed. In all cases, coaxial cable impedance should be 75 ohms. Materials Use only cable with a pure copper center conductor. Do not use cable with either a copper-plated steel or an aluminum center conductor because these do not transfer signals effectively in the frequency range used in CCTV networks. A center conductor with low DC resistance is required for effective CCTV operation. Solid-core bare copper conductor is best suited to video applications, except where flexing occurs. If the coaxial cable will be subjected to flexing during normal use, select a cable with a stranded center conductor. The preferred dielectric material is cellular (foam) polyethylene. It has better electrical characteristics than solid polyethylene, but is more vulnerable to moisture. Therefore, use only solid polyethylene dielectric cable with a heavy exterior insulation in applications subject to moisture. The shield must be copper braid providing 95% or better coverage. Cable Types The most commonly used cable types are RG-59/U and RG-11/U. Each is actually a family of cables with widely varying electrical characteristics, some of which are not suitable for CCTV applications. Choose a cable type by referring to the characteristics and maximum distances listed below. The maximum distance for best picture refers to the distance between the camera and the unit. The characteristics of the cables in this table should be used as a guideline when cables other than Belden are used. Materials and construction must follow the guidelines above. Note that BC refers to bare copper and TC refers to tinned copper.
