2. Installation a. Air Unit Installation i. Antenna installation Insert the air unit antennas into the RF ports. Antenna clicks in when properly installed. Note: (1) To avoid equipment damage, install antennas before powering on the units. (2) When install air unit to drone, avoid the antennas being blocked by parts of the drone. (3) Both antennas need to be installed. (4) Ensure the antenna connector is vertical to the module when it is pushed into the RF port.
ii. Connection to power supply Insert the four-pin connector of supplied power cable to the power port of the air unit and connect the orange power connect of supplied power cable to a battery output, or the power supply port of a drone. Power supply range is 7V~16V with recommended voltage of 12V. Note: (1) To avoid equipment damage, install antennas before powering on the units. (2) Recommended voltage is 7V~16V.
iii. Connection to camera Connect the ethernet video output port to the serial video input port of the air unit.
iv. Connection to flight controller Insert the six-pin connector of supplied serial cable to the serial port of the air unit and connect the other end of the serial cable to the telemetry port of a flight controller.
b. Ground Unit Installation i. Antenna installation Screw the ground unit antennas onto the RF ports. Make sure the antennas are tightly installed. Note: (1) To avoid equipment damage, install antennas before powering on the units. (2) Ensure the antenna connector is vertical to the module when it is screwed onto the RF port. Screw the antenna tightly to avoid loose connection, but do not overtighten the antenna to avoid damaging the antenna. (3) Both antennas need to be installed.
ii. Connection to power supply Insert the four-pin connector of supplied power cable to the power port of the ground unit and connect the orange power connect of supplied power cable to a battery output. Power supply range is 7V~16V with recommended voltage of 12V. Note: (1) To avoid equipment damage, install antennas before powering on the units. (2) Recommended voltage is 7V~16V.
iii. Connection to remote controller Insert the 3.5mm audio jack connector of the supplied PPM cable to the training port of remote controller and connect the six-pin connector of the PPM cable to the PPM port of the ground unit. Note: (1) Turn off the embedded 2.4GHz radio of remote controller when use ground unit’s uplink for RC communication. iv. Setup Video Output Ground unit has one way of outputting received video, to a PC.
v. Use AYAAN AIRLYNK System 1. Connect antennas to RF ports of the air unit. 2. Connect camera ethernet output to serial port of the air unit. 3. Connect the flight controller telemetry port to the serial port of the air unit. 4. Turn on the camera and set the video format. 5. Connect a 12V DC power to the power port of the air unit and turn on the power. 6.
1. Connect antennas to RF ports of the ground unit. 2. Connect the remote controller’s PPM output to the serial port of the ground unit if you want to use AYAAN’s command uplink. 3. If video view on a PC or a Laptop is desired, connect a PC or a Laptop to the seriald port of the ground unit. 4. Connect a 12V DC power to the power port of the ground unit and turn on the power. 5.
3. Software 3.1 Installation We provide program installation files, program file name: AYAAN AIRLYNK App Setup.exe. The installer icon is as follows: Double-click the installer to install and customize the program installation directory. After configuration, click the “Next” button to jump to the next step. To cancel the installation, click the “Cancel” button. Check the Generate desktop shortcut. If it is not checked, the desktop shortcut will not be generated.
3.3 Status Read the air and ground status information, can read double-ended information: RSSI (received signal strength indication), Tx_Power.
3.4 Configuration For parameter configuration, device bind is required. “Bind” is used to pair an air unit with ground unit. To pair an air unit and an ground unit, 1. Connect the air and ground devices. 2. Press the bind button of the air device. 3. Press the bind button of the ground device. 4. Power off both units for at least 10 seconds. 5. Power on both units. If the two units are not binded, “unbind” is shown under “BIND” status in Ground Status section.
The downlink mode adjustment interface is as follows: 3.5 Frequency Scan Provides signal strength scan information for the 2.4G band.
Working Mode：Manual, Auto. Manual mode: The module administrator or user manually configures the operating frequency. Auto mode: The management software configures the optimal working frequency according to the frequency scan information.
3.6 Upgrade Note: air and ground upgrades need to be upgraded separately using the USB connection management software. Select the upgrade file, click the Upgrade button to upgrade.
3.7 View Live Video Input the IP address of the webcam in the browser, then you can view the live video on a pc or laptop.
