Installation:
The FALCON PLUS system is factory-configured for operation on channel 1 with right
and left audio operational.
To obtain the best picture quality and transmission distance, the following rules of thumb
should be followed:
1) Mount the transmitter and receiver antennas above human and mechanical traffic,
the higher the better. A 10 foot 2 3/8” diameter steel mast on top of a building is
typical. Make sure that the mast is well grounded to earth ground with an 8 AWG or
larger wire. For maximum range, the transmit and receive antennas must be 15 to 20
feet above all obstacles in the line of sight.
2) Keep the transmission path as open as possible. Objects such as walls and
metallic objects near the transmission path reflect signals and may reduce the
transmission distance.
3) Do not add additional lengths of cable to connect the receiver to the antenna as
significant losses in signal and reduced transmission range will occur.
4) Keep the cable connecting the antenna to the receiver as short as possible.
The VTX5900 transmitter and VRX5900 receiver units come pre-mounted in a NEMA-
4X rated aluminum enclosure which allows mounting of the unit outdoors.
