2.4GHz Transmitter Operation:
Changing Channels:
To change channels, simply depress the Toggle/Standby switch momentarily until the
LED for the desired channel pattern is lit up. Remember to change the receiver
channel as well, since it is not automatically changed when the transmitter channel is
changed. For increased isolation from nearby systems operating on different
channels and multiple systems transmitting along the same path, the system can be
operated using right hand polarization on channels 1 and 3, and left hand polarization
on channels 2 and 4 (Additional equipment may be required).
Standby Mode:
This mode of operation does the following:
1) Places the transmitter into a low power mode.
2) Stops transmitting the RF signal.
3) Continues to monitor the alarm inputs that have been armed (Factory default --
both inputs are armed).
4) Monitors the data port for control signals from the TrangoLink software.
While in Standby mode, if an alarm state change occurs, the transmitter will come
out of Standby mode instantly, begin transmitting the video signal, and change the
receiver alarm output state to reflect the changed state on the transmitter. The unit
will not return to standby mode unless the user holds the toggle button down or
commands the unit via Trangolink.
ENTERING STANDBY MODE
To enter the Standby mode, the user must hold down the Toggle/Standby switch for 2
seconds. The status LED will blink once per second for about 1 minute to allow the
operator to leave the area. During this time the alarms will be disarmed. After 1
minute, the alarms will be armed, and the active channel LED will then blink at a rate
of about once every 2 seconds to indicate that the unit is in Standby mode, and
waiting for an alarm state change to occur.
EXITING STANDBY MODE
To exit Standby mode, the user must simply depress the Toggle/Standby switch
momentarily. After exiting Standby mode, the active channel LED will be on solid
to indicate that the video signal is being transmitted normally. Alarms will still be
armed unless the are turned off via the Trangolink software.
LOW BATTERY
If the input voltage drops below 6V, the active channel LED will blink twice per
second. A low battery indication is also sent to the receiver and can be viewed using
the TrangoLink software or the receiver. No alarm is generated.
