PTZ-900 Series ______________________________________________________________________________________ 900 MHz Spread Spectrum Digital Wireless Pan/Tilt/Zoom Camera Control Transmission System Installation and Operating Instructions
Your Trango Systems Wireless PTZ System: Congratulations on choosing Trango Systems, Inc. to fulfill your wireless needs. Unpack your system carefully. If any items are missing, notify your sales representative. If an item appears to be damaged from shipment, replace it in its packing material and notify the shipper. Save the packaging for further storage of the equipment.
QUICK START GUIDE 1. VERIFY PROPER OPERATION OF CAMERA CONTROL USING A DIRECT WIRED CONNECTION PRIOR TO INSTALLING WIRELESS LINK. 2. SET THE PTZ-900TX AND PTZ-900RX SERIAL PORT DATA RATE AND MODE (RS422 or RS232) USING THE TRANGOLINK PROGRAM AND SUPPLIED CABLE. (THIS STEP NOT REQUIRED IF THE PTZ CONTROL EQUIPMENT IS SET TO USE 9600 BPS and RS422 or RS485 MODE) 3. INSTALL TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER UNITS IN DESIRED LOCATION TO 2 3/8” MAX DIAMETER STEEL POLE PER INSTALLATION DRAWING. 4.
System Description: The PTZ-900 is a professional quality wireless transmission system designed for sending simplex digital pan, tilt, zoom and camera control signals up to 12 miles line-of-sight. The system employs 900 MHz frequency hopping spread spectrum technology with the maximum effective output power allowed by the FCC for unlicensed operation. The system will operate interference free with the Trango Falcon or Eagle series wireless video transmission systems to form a complete wireless control link.

TRANSMITTER OPERATION Figure 3 shows the front panel of the PTZ-900TX transmitter and the functions of each input/output. Each is described in greater detail below. IMPORTANT NOTE: The transmitter uses a non-standard jack to connect to the transmitter antenna. Any modification to this jack may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment and will void the manufacturer’s warranty. WARNING: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER WITHOUT THE ANTENNA SECURELY ATTACHED. DAMAGE TO THE UNIT MAY RESULT.
CONNECTOR WIRING Supplied with the units are DB9- female to R-45 adapters that can be used to wire the units properly. Below are common wiring diagrams for various manufacturer’s PTZ equipment and a description of the individual pins on the Transmitter and receiver. Diagrams POINT TO MULTIPOINT OPERATION In some cases it may be necessary to control more than one camera from the same control panel.
MULTI-LINK OPERATION Different from Point to Mutipoint operation, this is where more than one transmitter is operating in the same area. In this case, all the transmitters and receivers operating on System “A” would have the same PN code and address.
TRANGOLINK SOFTWARE OPERATION The Trangolink software allows the user to change the user settings on the PTZ-900TX and PTZ-900RX. The software runs under the Windows 95 PC platform and connects from either COM1 or COM2 to the Data interface on the transmitter or receiver via the Cabldat-2 interface cable. After entering the program, a screen is displayed showing the current settings.
High power equipment operating near the 902-928 MHz band such as paging system base stations or cellular phone base stations may also interfere if they are within several hundred feet of the receiver. Changing the PN sequence and reorienting the receive antenna will most like cure this type of interference. Cable from receiver to PTZ receiver/driver is too long, corrupting digital data. Use Cat 5 twisted pair shielded cable if possible with a maximum length of 500 feet for RS422 and 200 feet for RS232.
