VAM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 3 Operation Overview This chapter describes how to operate the VAM6800+ using card-edge controls only. The following topics are discussed in this chapter: • “Operating Notes” on page 24 • “Cross-Functional Parameter Changes” on page 25 • “Changing Parameter Settings” on page 27 • “Setting VAM6800+ Control Parameters” on page 29 • “LEDs and Alarms” on page 44 See the following documents for information on how to operate this product remotely: • + Pilot Lite User Manual for serial interface • CCS Pilot, CoPilot, Navigator, or RCP-CCS-1U Remote Control Panel manual for Ethernet interface VAM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 23 Chapter 3: Operation Operating Notes When setting the control parameters on the VAM6800+, observe the following: 24 • If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be affected. See “Cross-Functional Parameter Changes” on page 25 for more information. • When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires up to 30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted. • You can connect up to four VAM6800+ modules to a single Data I/O chain using a maximum cable length of 984 ft (300 m). T-connectors are recommended. The last module in the Data I/O chain should have its Data I/O jumper set for termination (see “Setting Jumper JC for Data I/O” on page 14). VAM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 3: Operation Cross-Functional Parameter Changes When you configure certain parameters, you force a change in other associated parameters. Table 3-1 lists the secondary changes that occur when you make these parameter selections. Table 3-1.

To use this feature, the Data I/O signal must be sourced from an ENS6800+ module's Data I/O output. Additionally, the reference video standard applied to the ENS6800+, and its composite output video standard, must match the VAM6800+ composite video output standard. 26 VAM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 3: Operation Changing Parameter Settings Follow these steps to change the VAM6800+ parameter settings: 1. Rotate the hex switch (mode select rotary switch) to “0.” 2. Once the hex switch is set to “0,” toggle the navigation switch up or down to select a bank. View the three control LEDs next to the navigation toggle switch to see which bank is currently selected. (See Table 3-3) See Table 3-4 on page 29 to view the various banks, hex switch positions, and corresponding parameter options and values. Table 3-3. Selected Bank as Indicated by Control LEDs LED BS1 LED BS2 LED BS3 Bank Number Off Off Off 0 Off Off On 1 Off On Off 2 Off On On 3 On Off Off 4 On Off On 5 On On Off 6 On On On 7 3. Rotate the hex switch to the parameter number (1 to 9) or letter (A to F) of the option you want to set. Note For best results, use the available 6800+ software control options (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming parameter values. 4. Toggle the navigation switch to select and set the value of the chosen parameter. 5. Rotate the hex switch to another parameter number/letter in the current bank, and then repeat step 4. or Rotate the hex switch to “0” again to select a different bank, and then repeat steps 3 and 4. VAM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 27 Chapter 3: Operation Recalling Factory Default Parameter Settings Table 3-4 on page 29 describes all of the parameter settings for the VAM6800+, including the original factory defaults. To return this module to its factory default settings, you can either reset each parameter individually or do a global recall following this procedure: 1. Rotate the hex switch to “0.” 2. Toggle the navigation switch to the bank number “0.” Use the control LEDs to verify which bank you have selected, or use an available 6800+ software control option (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in confirming your bank selection. 3. Rotate the hex switch to the global recall parameter “F.” 4. Toggle the navigation switch to “On.” Use an available 6800+ software control option to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming the parameter value.

VAM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual Appendix A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips Software Communication and Control Issues + • “+ Pilot Lite Fails to Communicate with Installed Modules” on page 59 • “+ Pilot Lite Does Not Find All Modules in Frame” on page 61 • “+ Pilot Lite or CCS Software Application Not Responding” on page 61 • “+ Pilot Lite Cannot Control a Module Showing in the Control Window” on page 61 • “+ Pilot Lite Status Bar Reports ‘Not Ready’” on page 62 • “CCS Software Application or Remote Control Panel Does Not Communicate with Module” on page 62 • “Alarm Query Fails When a Device Reboots” on page 62 Pilot Lite Fails to Communicate with Installed Modules Confirm that the following items are not the reason for the communication failure: • The proper module slot has not been specified (+ Pilot Lite is not communicating with the appropriate slot). See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information on slot identification. • The COM port is used elsewhere (Check that the correct COM port is configured in + Pilot Lite and that another application is not using that COM port). • The actual frame ID does not match the two DIP switch settings in the back of the frame (+ Pilot Lite is not communicating with the proper frame). See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information on frame ID switch settings. • A null modem cable is not being used. Between the PC running + Pilot Lite and the FR6802+ frame, there should be a null RS-232 modem cable. At minimum, this requires that pins 2 and 3 are crossed and 5 to 5 for ground. • An ICE6800+ module is installed in the frame (+ Pilot Lite control is disabled if an ICE6800+ module is installed in the frame; ICE6800+ modules are used for CCS control). VAM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 59 Appendix A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips • A legacy 6800 series product is in the frame. To communicate with + Pilot Lite, modules must be from the 6800+ product family. + Pilot Lite cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products. Although they can be installed in a FR6802+ frame and work using card edge controls, 6800 series cards cannot be discovered or controlled by + Pilot Lite. • The back module has bent pins. To determine if the module has bent pins, follow this procedure: a. Unplug the front module. b. Unscrew and remove the back module. c. View the 20-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back module. See Figure A-1. 20-Pin Connector Figure A-1. Connector on 6800+ Back Module This connector should not have any bent or pressed pins. Even a slightly depressed or bent pin may cause genlock issues. d. If there are bent pins, carefully re-position them to their correct positions. If this is not possible, then a back module can be exchanged. 60 VAM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual Appendix A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips + Pilot Lite Does Not Find All Modules in Frame If a discovery is started too soon after frame power-up, + Pilot Lite will not find all the installed modules. Refresh + Pilot Lite (File > Refresh), and ensure that installed modules are fully powered-up before discovery. If a module is plugged into the frame after a discovery, + Pilot Lite will not automatically detect the module. Refresh + Pilot Lite (File > Refresh) to discover the newly installed module. If a legacy 6800 series product is in the frame, + Pilot Lite will not detect it. + Pilot Lite cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products. Although they can be installed in the FR6802+ frame and work using card edge controls, they will not be discovered or controlled by + Pilot Lite. For + Pilot Lite to find a module, it must be from the 6800+ product family. + Pilot Lite or CCS Software Application Not Responding + Pilot Lite and a CCS application such as Navigator or Pilot cannot run on the same PC at the same time. Both applications can be installed, but only one can be opened at a time. + Pilot Lite Cannot Control a Module Showing in the Control Window There are three possible causes for this problem: • Did you physically set the jumper for local control? If so, set this jumper to the REM position for remote control. • Does the card name in the control window physically match the card type in the frame? • Is the module properly seated in the frame? Check the positioning of the module in its slot in the frame. • Does the Control window indicate the device is “ready”? The device may be powered off or disconnected from the network. VAM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual 61 Appendix A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips + Pilot Lite Status Bar Reports ‘Not Ready’ + Pilot Lite reports each device’s connection status in the status bar. If the connection status message reads “Not Ready,” check the following: • The position of the module -- it may not be properly seated in the frame. • The frame’s network connection. If the status bar still reports no status or “Not Ready” for the frame or device, try restarting + Pilot Lite. CCS Software Application or Remote Control Panel Does Not Communicate with Module CCS software applications (such as Pilot, CoPilot, and Navigator) and remote control panels require the purchase and installation of an ICE6800+ module in an FR6802+ frame in order to communicate remotely via Ethernet. Alarm Query Fails When a Device Reboots When you reboot a device connected to your PC, the alarm traffic hitting the network may cause an alarm query request to time out and fail. While the query does not automatically retry, it will post an “Alarm query failed” message to the Diagnostics window. To clear an “Alarm query failed” message, right-click inside the Diagnostics window, and then select Refresh from the resulting context menu. 62 VAM6800+ Installation and Operation Manual Appendix A: Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips Hardware Communication and Control Issues • “Frames Fail to Communicate with the PC after a Power Failure” on page 63 • “Module Does Not Seem to Work” on page 63 Frames Fail to Communicate with the PC after a Power Failure You must exit the software and restart after the frame recovers from its power failure. To restore communications between the PC and the frames, ensure that the frames have three or more minutes to recover from the power failure before you exit the application and restart the PC. Module Does Not Seem to Work Although the following troubleshooting tips may seem obvious, please take the time to ensure the following: • All appropriate rear connections are securely made • The board is securely installed (with no bent pins) • The frame is turned on Contacting Customer Service We are committed to providing round-the-clock, 24-hour service to our customers around the world.
