WARNING: Calls out situations in which equipment could be damaged or a process could be incorrectly implemented, but in which operator safety is not a factor. TIP: Describes application hints. RF EXPOSURE STATEMENT A separation distance of at least 30 cm must be maintained between the antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons. When the unit is used consistant with the previous notice, it conforms to the requirements of FCC Rules and regulations, sections 1.1307 & 2.19091, as required by section 90.1217. WARNING: Use of antennas with gain above 2.1 dBi may exceed Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits. NOTE: This device is for occupational use only. Oc-
cupational users are those persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment, provided these persons are fully aware of and exercise control over their exposure TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ............................................................................................................... 4-5 Quick Start ........................................................................................................................6 Specifications ............................................................................................................ 7-8 Notes ...........................................................................................................................9-10 Contact Us ....................................................................................................................11 3 INTRODUCTION The Palladium II Series of digital video trans-
mitters provide exceptional video quality in high multipath environments. They are ideal for use inside buildings, in urban areas, and in other applications where multipath would normally cause video tearing or breakup. All Palladium II Series transmitters are designed for spectrum-efficient 2.5 MHz channel spacing. Approximately 400 carriers are used to transmit video and two channels of voice and data. Palladium transmitters may be located on adjacent channels without a guard band. AES 128-bit encryption ensures users of secure communications. The Palladium 5000S is a small, modular transmitter with a 5W RF power output. Its ideal for OEM concealments and short to mid-range robotic and UAV applications. The package is only 10 x 10 x 3.625. All connec-
tions are conveniently located. The Palladium 5000S incorporates a power amplifier bring-
ing total power output to 5W. 4 Fan Heatsink SMA Antenna connection PD2 Transmitter 9 Pin Connector NTSC Video Input DC Power Input and RF Output ON/OFF control INTRODUCTION Using your Palladium II Transmitter Follow the instructions given in the Quick Start section on pages 6-7. When power is first ap-
plied to the Palladium, the unit reverts to the indicated channel and RF ON state. The Alarm LED may be ON, which indicates that there is no active video input. Changing your Transmitter Configuration The Palladium Transmitter can store up to 8 different configurations, which can be selected with the Channel Control. The frequency channels are preprogrammed please contact your local Sales Manager for more information Top Controls/Connectors Multi-I/O Connector Data Chaining & Control Connector. Audio 2 (left) and Audio 1 (right/mono) LEMO Conn. These connectors provide the audio input connections to the transmitter. Either one or two audio inputs can be used with the Pal-
ladium II Transmitter. Frequency Channel Controller
- Fmin = 1 (2451.25 MHz)
- Fmid = 2 (2466.00 MHz)
- Fmax = 3-8 (2482.50 MHz) Bottom Controls/Connector SMA Antenna connection 5 QUICK START Complete these steps:
1. Connect the transmitter antenna to the SMA connector on the Palladium unit
(see photo right). 2. Attach a 12 VDC power source (capable of 7 amp output current) to the power block
(red) as shown to the right. The input voltage is 12 VDC nom. 3. Connect a TTL logic source to the power block (orange) as shown to turn on the amplifier. This is the ON/OFF control for the RF amp. RF/ON = TTL1 RF/OFF = TTL0 4. Attach the common return of both supplies to the (black) power center block 5. Attach your camera video input (75 ohm composite video source in PAL or NTSC) to the video RCA connector (see photo to the right). 6. Apply the necessary power to your camera and turn ON. 6 NOTE: Palladium TX-5000A Modules feature a heat sink for proper heat dissipation. For optimal performance, do not block air flow over the fins of this heat sink. WARNING: Do not connect the antenna without a suitable 50 ohm load attached. The maxi-
mum safe operating distance, antenna to human body must be 30cm. 1 5 3 4 2 NOTE: Device is polarity sensitive. Connect DC power only as shown above; black to black (-), red to red (+). SPECIFICATIONS 10 x 10 x 3.625 (not including connectors)
