VTX5900 Transmitter Operation:

Changing Channels:

To change channels, simply depress the Toggle/Standby switch momentarily until the

LED(s) for the desired channel is lit up. Remember to change the receiver channel as

well, since it is not automatically changed when the transmitter channel is changed.

As a rule of thumb, the first 6 systems operating along the same transmission path

should be set to use even channels ( 2,4,6,8,10,12). If more than 6 systems are

required along the same transmission path, use opposite polarization antennas and

then set the units to operate on the odd channels (1,3,5,7,9,11). Contact Trango Tech

Support for additional help on setting the correct configuration for your application.

Standby Mode -- Secure Standby Mode:

In this mode of operation the transmitter:

1. stops transmitting over the air completely by shutting down the majority of

its circuitry to save power, and

2. waits to be returned to Normal mode by one of the following:

• a change in either Alarm input,

• the Toggle/Standby switch, or

• the TrangoLink software.

To enter Secure Standby mode, press and hold the Toggle/Standby switch for 2

seconds or use the TrangoLink software (See the TrangoLink section of this manual

for more information). The Status LED will blink for about 1 minute to allow the

operator to leave the area. During this time the alarms will not be sent to the

receiver. After 1 minute, the alarm inputs will be active and the status LED will then

blink to indicate that the unit is in Secure Standby mode.

To exit Secure Standby mode, momentarily press the Toggle/Standby switch or use

the TrangoLink software. After exiting Secure Standby mode, the active channel

LED will be on solid to indicate that the transmitter is now continuously transmitting

again.

Standby Mode -- Power Save Standby Mode:

In Power Save Standby mode, the transmitter will awaken (enter Normal mode) for a

user-selectable amount of time if an alarm is received over the Alarm 1 input. After this

time has expired, the transmitter will reenter Standby mode. The amount of time after

which the transmitter will reenter Standby mode can be set to any value between 1 and

255 minutes using the TrangoLink software. If zero is entered, the transmitter will be in

Secure Standby mode, and will not reenter Standby mode after awakening. More

information can be found in the TrangoLink section of this manual.

When the transmitter has been placed in Power Save Standby mode, the Alarm 1 input is

treated as normally-closed. An open condition on this input will awaken the transmitter

for the preset amount of time. The state of the Alarm 2 input does not affect the

transmitter in Power Save Standby mode.

In Power Save Standby mode the transmitter:
