Controls
Transmitter Control Panels:
SOLO2 and SOLO4 transmitters are equipped with a standard LED
(Light Emitting Diode) and push button panel. The panel is as depicted
below, and the buttons and LEDs have meanings as explained in the
table.
LED / Button Colour Meaning / Use
Alarm LED Red When lit indicates alarm or fault condition on equipment. Usually
means no lock to incoming video.
Front Panel Lock
LED
Yellow When lit indicates the stream is encrypted (v 3 software and above)
RF LED Green Transmitter: When lit indicates RF output is active.
LED 1 to 8 Green Indicates which of the 8 stored configurations is currently selected.
Range Mode
LEDs
Green SOLO2 Transmitter: These LEDs have no function
SOLO4 Transmitter: Indicates range mode
Ultra Long Range: 1.25MHz QPSK FEC1/3 (optional)
Long Range: 2.5MHz QPSK FEC1/3
Medium Range: 2.5MHz QPSK FEC2/3
Short Range: 2.5MHz 16QAM FEC2/3
RF Button - Transmitter:
Pressing the RF button toggles the units RF output between OFF
and ON.
Holding down button toggles unit into standby mode.
Config Button - The config button when pressed selects the next configuration from
memory.
Holding down button toggles front panel lock.
Mode Button - SOLO2 Transmitter – No function
