Frequently Asked Questions - DF100TX Indexa

How to pair the DF100TX transmitter with the receiver?

In the receiver menu, select the PairCAM option, choose the desired channel, then press and hold the Pairing button on the transmitter for about 5 seconds within 60 seconds. The image appears and the connection LED lights up red.

What is the maximum transmission range?

The maximum range is 100 to 200 meters in clear line of sight (open field). Indoors, it is significantly reduced (about 20 m) due to walls and ceilings.

Can I use the camera outdoors?

The DF100TX transmitter is designed for indoor dry use. For outdoor installation, you must use a suitable protective housing against weather.

How to clean the transmitter?

Before cleaning, disconnect the mains adapter. Use a soft brush or slightly damp cloth for the exterior. Never open the device.

What power supply is required?

The transmitter operates with a voltage of 7.5 V DC supplied by the included mains charger (230 V ~ 50 Hz, output 7.5 V DC 300 mA).

How many channels are available?

The DF100TX transmitter offers 4 transmission channels. You can pair up to 4 different transmitters with the same receiver.

What types of cables to use for audio/video?

For video signals, use RG59/75 ohm cables with BNC connectors. Audio uses a standard mono cable.

Is the transmission secure?

Yes, the transmission uses frequency hopping technology in 2.4 GHz, which prevents eavesdropping. Only the paired receiver can receive the signal.

What to do if the connection is unstable?

Check that there are no metal obstacles or reinforced concrete walls between the transmitter and receiver. Move away devices that emit in 2.4 GHz (microwaves, cordless phones). Bring the devices closer together or extend video cables.

Can the transmitter transmit TV signals?

No, due to digital compression, the transmitter is not suitable for transmitting television signals. It is designed for surveillance cameras.

2. Properuse

The Additional Transmitter consists of the transmitter DF-100TX and mains adaptormodelYL35-075300D.Itistobeusedforthetransmissionofanaudio and a video signal from a surveillance camera to a compatible receiver eg. DF 100RX,DF-2xxE,DF-240M orDF-250M.Due to the digital compression it is not suitable for transmission of TV-pictures. The video and audio transmissioniswiressusingafrequencyof2.4GHz.

6.Safetyinstructions

The following instructions are provided for your safety and satisfaction during operation of the device. Note that non-observation of these safety instructions results in significant risks of accident.

Explanationofsymbols andtermsused:

Danger! If this point is not heeded life and health is endangered.

Attention! Non-observance of these instructions puts property at risk of damage.

Danger!

• Do not leave small children unsupervised with the device, packaging material or small parts. Otherwise there is a risk of fatal injury due to choking or suffocation.
• Do not damage any gas, electricity, water or telecommunication lines during drilling and fixing work. Otherwise there are dangers of fire, personal and fatal injury.
• Treat the cables carefully. Lay these so that they cannot be damaged and do not present any tripping hazard. Otherwise there are dangers of fire, personal and fatal injury.
• If you use the device for monitoring babies or small children ensure that the camera and cable are out of reach of children. Otherwise there is a risk to life and limb!
• Do not pull the cables over sharp edges and do not crush or crimp them elsewhere. Otherwise there are dangers of fire, personal and fatal injury.
• Prevent the device from coming into contact with moisture and do not submerge in water. Otherwise there is a danger of fatal injury.
• Only operate the device from the supplied power supply. Before connecting the power supply to the mains, ensure that the mains current complies with 230V 50Hz and is fitted with a fuse according to regulations. Otherwise there are dangers of fire and fatal injury.

Attention! Non-observation of these instructions puts propertyatrisk ofdamage.

• Protect the equipment and the cables against strong magnetic or electrical fields and against strong mechanical loads and vibrations.
• Do not place the equipment near fire, heat or in areas of high temperature.
• Only use the equipment with the supplied original parts or original accessories.
• Do not connect any damaged device (e.g. damage in transit). Repairs to the equipment must only be performed by specialists.
• Remove the mains adapter from the mains outlet when the device is not required for a longer time.

7. Location of equipment

Before mounting the device the wireless reception from the desired location.

Observe the following points:

• The maximum range of the wireless signal is approx. 100m (and up to 200m in optimal conditions) with line of sight contact between transmitter and receiver. Within buildings the range is greatly reduced by walls and floors, in particular those made of steel reinforced concrete, to a maximum of 20m . Metal housings, shelves and mirrors also block the wireless signal.
• If there is no wireless reception between the locations of the camera and the monitor/recorder then the cables between the camera and transmitter or between the receiver and monitor/recorder must be extended. Use RG 59/75 Ohm cable with the necessary BNC-connections.
• The wireless transmission can also be affected by strong electric fields and other wireless equipment. Ensure an adequate distance of the camera and receiver to microwave ovens, cordless phones, mobile phones, wireless devices in the 2.4GHz frequency band, electric motors and high voltage devices or power cables.
• The receiver must be placed on a solid and level surface or secured with the screws [12] and plugs [13], ideally 1m above the floor (optimal reception).
• Ensure that the device is located away from dust and vibration and that there is adequate air circulation.
• If the receiver is installed outside it must be protected by a suitable casing.
