Safety Notes; Applications; Setting Into Operation; Placing The Transmitter And The Receiver - Monacor AV-3010RDX Mode D'emploi

2 Safety Notes

This unit corresponds to the directive 89/336/EEC for
electromagnetic compatibility.
The receiver is suitable for indoor use only. Protect
it against impurities, humidity, and heat (admissible
ambient temperature range -10 °C to +55 °C).
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth, by no means
chemicals or water.
No guarantee claims for the unit and no liability for
any resulting personal damage or material damage
will be accepted if the unit is used for other purpos-
es than originally intended, if it is not correctly con-
nected, operated, or not repaired in an expert way.
If the unit is to be put out of operation de-
finitively, take it to a local recycling plant
for a disposal which is not harmful to the
environment.

3 Applications

In combination with a 2.4 GHz transmitter or a
2.4 GHz wireless surveillance camera of the "AV-..."
series from MONACOR, the receiver AV-3010RDX
serves for wireless audio and video transmission.
With additional units of the MONACOR product range
a wireless video surveillance system can be built up.
The transmission range largely depends on the
local conditions, the transmitter used and the anten-
nas used. In the open the range can be up to 1000 m,
in buildings up to 100 m depending on the condition of
the walls. By using an antenna with gain, the range
can considerably be increased.

4 Setting into Operation

4.1 Placing the transmitter and receiver
The best receiving quality is obtained when the
antenna of the transmitter and that of the receiver are
parallel to each other. For this purpose the antenna
(3) can be folded up vertically and turned to optimum
reception. Practical experience has shown that an
optimum reception is achieved when placing the units
at a height of 1.5 to 2 m as a minimum above the
ground. Prior to the final mounting a trial run is recom-
mended as the transmission quality can substantially
be changed by displacing the transmitter and/or
receiver by a few centimetres only.
To determine the maximum receiving level, insert
the receiving level indication on the screen during the
trial run. For this purpose shortly press the button
"OK" (7) three times (also see chapter 5.1).

4.2 Connecting the units

Prior to connecting the units or changing existing
connections switch off the AV-3010RDX and all other
units of the surveillance system.
When selecting the audio outputs, it has to be
observed that the audio level (volume) can be ad-
justed at the jacks "audio A" (10) and "audio B" (11)
12
with the buttons "L-" and "L+" (5), but not the audio
level at the jack "DIN-AV" (9).

4.2.1 Surveillance monitor

1) Connect the video input of the monitor to the jack
"video" (12) via a 75 Ω coaxial cable.
2) If a sound is transmitted as well, connect the audio
input of the monitor via a screened audio cable to
the jack "audio A" (10) and in case of a stereo
sound additionally to the jack "audio B" (11).

4.2.2 TV set

A TV set can also be connected instead of a monitor.
1) Depending on the existing jacks on the TV set
connect the AV-3010RDX via the jack "DIN-AV" (9)
or via the jacks "audio A" (10), "audio B" (11), and
"video" (12) to the TV set.
2) If the TV set is equipped with a scart jack, connect
the scart jack via an adapter (e. g. VC-162 from
MONACOR) to the jack "DIN-AV" (9).
3) If the TV set is not equipped with one of the input
jacks mentioned before, connect an AV modulator
(e. g. VAM-3 from MONACOR) to the jack "video"
(12) and, if required, to the jack "audio A" (10).
Place the modulator between the TV antenna and
the antenna jack of the TV set.
4.2.3 Video recorder, second monitor, or second
TV set
1) For audio and video recording a video recorder
may be connected to the jack "DIN-AV" (9).
Depending on the existing connection jacks on the
video recorder an adapter may be necessary (e. g.
VC-162 from MONACOR).
2) Alternatively a second monitor or a second TV set
may be connected to the jack "DIN-AV" for parallel
surveillance. If necessary, a corresponding adapt-
er may be required as well.

4.2.4 External antenna

If the receiving level with the firmly mounted antenna
(3) is too poor, connect an external antenna to the
jack "antenna socket 2" (16). The series "DX-..." from
MONACOR offers various antennas with different
antenna gain.

4.2.5 Signal devices or other additional units

Two relay outputs are available to control visual or
acoustical signal devices or other additional units:
1. As soon as a perfect video signal is received, the
contacts "AV channel" (14) will be closed.*
2. If the transmitter used is equipped with a control
channel and if this control channel is activated
(e. g. by a motion detector), the contacts "switch-
ing channel" (14) will be closed.*
The contacts allow to switch voltages up to 42 V at
500 mA as a maximum.
