FPV System Installation
Items required for FPV installation:
• Camera, 650TVL CCD FPV Camera NTSC (SPMVC650)
• Video transmitter with the power output appropriate for your region
• Antenna, RHCP Omni Right Angle Connector (SPMVX5802)
• Power adapter, Air Telemetry Flight Pack Voltage Sensor: EC3 (SPMA9556)
• Spektrum 4.3 inch Video Monitor with Headset (SPMVM430C)
Installation of a video transmitter
1. Remove the video transmitter hatch by lifting at the front and pulling
straight up.
2. Remove the battery hatch.
3. Connect the lead from the power adapter to the video transmitter harness.
a.
Cut the micro connector from the power adapter leaving enough wire
length from the adapter to reach from the battery compartment to the video
transmitter.
b.
Solder the wire from the power adapter to the video transmitter harness
power and ground leads, noting proper polarity. The red wire from the
adapter connects to the “power” port, and the black wire from the adapter
connects to the “gnd” port from the harness. Be sure to properly insulate
the wire connections using heat shrink tubing.
4. Connect the power adapter EC3 plug to the power lead from the fl ight
controller.
5. Remove the bottom fuselage cover.
6. Thread the video camera connector from the FPV compartment, through the
fuselage and to the front of the bottom compartment.
7. Attach the video transmitter antenna to the video transmitter.
8. Mount the video transmitter to the mounting plate provided in the fuselage
using either double sided foam tape or self-adhesive hook and loop
material. The video transmitter must be oriented so the antenna exits at the
rear of the compartment, through the slot in the hatch.
9. Replace the video transmitter hatch by gently pushing in on the sides and
pressing the hatch straight down into the fuselage.
Installation of an FPV camera:
1. Remove the bottom cover from the fuselage if not already removed.
2. Connect the video camera lead to the video camera.
3. Align the camera lens with the opening in the camera mount and slide the
camera body into the camera mount as shown. The pins on the sides of the
camera body align with the holes in the sides of the mount and will snap
into the holes when the camera is fully seated in the mount.
4. Replace the bottom cover to the fuselage.
