TRANSMITTER OPERATION

Figure 3 shows the front panel of the PTZ-900TX transmitter and the functions of each input/output.  Each is described in greater
detail below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The transmitter uses a non-standard jack to connect to the
transmitter antenna. Any modification to this jack may void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

WARNING

:

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER WITHOUT THE ANTENNA
SECURELY ATTACHED.  DAMAGE TO THE UNIT MAY RESULT.

DATA INTERFACE

 -- This input accepts serial commands from any PTZ controller , and acts as an interface with the

Trangolink software to control it’s internal settings.  See the Trangolink software program help for more information.  This interface
acts as the input for simplex data up to 19200 bps.

POWER INPUT

 -- -- Accepts a 6-13 Volt DC power source.  It is highly recommended that the supplied power adapters ( 7

VDC) be used to reduce heat from the unit.  If another power adapter is to be used, ensure that it is well regulated (+/- 5%).  Batteries
may be used as external power sources as well.  The nominal current draw is 200 milliamperes when not sending commands and 520
mA while sending commands.

LED

 – The LED has three functional modes as follows:

1)

 

Alternating Green/Red:  The unit is waiting for a command from Trangolink (30 seconds after
startup only.)

2)

 

Red- Unit is ready to receive data from the PTZ control equipment.

3)

 

Green – The unit is sending data on the air. Since the data is typically sent out in bursts, the
LED will be green for a very short time only.

RECEIVER OPERATION

Figure 4 shows the front panel of the PTZ-900RX receiver and the functions of each input/output.  Each is described in greater detail
below.

DATA INTERFACE

 -- This output sends serial commands received from the transmitter out to the PTZ receiver/driver , as

well as interfacing with the Trangolink software to control it’s internal settings.  See the Trangolink software program help for more
information.  This interface acts as the output for simplex data up to 19200 bps.

3)

 

Green – Not used.
