Transmitter Operation

Antenna jack. This connector is used to connect an appropriate Trango transmitter antenna. The antennas authorized for use with this unit are the AD900-9-P patch and the AO900-3-P omni. The maximum transmis- sion range when using the omni will be reduced by approximately half. The connector used is custom and is somewhat fragile. Fasten the con- nector only finger-tight, no more than 8 lb/in. Important! The trans- mitter 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.

Do not apply power to the transmitter without the antenna securely attached. Damage to the unit may result.

Data interfaces. There are two data interfaces: a terminal block and a male DB9 connector. Refer to the drawing below. In order to avoid dam- age to the unit, do not use both the terminal block and the DB9 for data output simultaneously. For more information, visit our website, www.trangosys.com.

1Terminal block. Two lugs serve as the input for simplex data from 1200 to 19200 bps. When transmitting under RS485/422 protocols, data connections from the PTZ controller are made on TX+ and TX– of the terminal block. For RS232, the connections are to TXD and GND. The PTZ-900TXdoes not use the RX+ and RX– connectors.

2DB9 connector. Attach the programming cable, CBLDAT-2, to this connector in order to use the TrangoLink set-up program. Refer to the instructions on page 11. This interface can also be used for con- necting data input from a PTZ controller, but it might be difficult to close the unit while a cable is attached.

Power input. Accepts a power source between 6 and 13 volts DC. It is highly recommended that the supplied power adapters (7VDC) be used to reduce the heat dissipated 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 190 milliamperes when not sending commands and 522 milliamperes while sending commands.

LED. The LED has three functional modes as follows:

1Alternating green and red: The unit is waiting for a command from TrangoLink software (twenty seconds after startup only.)

2Red: The unit is ready to receive data from the PTZ control equip- ment.

3Green: 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.
