Overview

The ImmersionRC 600mW 5.8GHz audio/video transmitte r requires a suitable antenna (included) and a supply voltage to be connected to be functional. Please refer to the below noted images for familiarizing yourself with your audio/video transmitter prior to connecting the audio/video transmitter to your powe r supply and camera or audio/video

Please refer to the labeling on the sticker for the correct pin out for connecting your power supply and camera or audio/video source to th e audio/video input.

Battery input

BATT > Positive pole (+) on battery, usually RED GND > Negative pole (-) on battery, usually BLACK

Audio/video input, 5V output

AUDR > Right audio channel

AUDL > Left audio channel VID > Video input GND > Negative pole - of battery and/or GND of vide o signal 5V out > 5V output, 300mA max.

Please note that the minimum supply voltage require d is 6V and the maximum is 25V. Do not opt to run your audio/video transmitter off of a regulated output of a BEC or similar switching or linear regulator, the audio/vi deo transmitter is designed to be connected to your main flight battery directly.

The 5V output is NOT to be used as an input, it is an output only! Connecting this output to another power supply, regardless of voltage, wil l render the audio/video transmitter defective. The 5V output is designed to power a 5V camera directly, or, when used with our 12V step-up, a 12V camera directly. The maximum power it can supply is 300mA, hence this output CANNOT be used to power HD camera s such as the GoPro as they have a much higher current draw.www.immersionrc.com info@immersionrc.com

Instructions on use

A typical setup of the ImmersionRC 600mW 5.8GHz aud io/video transmitter requires the BATT-GND pins to be connected to the main flight pa ck directly, the audio/video input typically requires VID-GND-5V out when a 5V camera is used.

NOTE: FatShark 5V cameras are fully compatible with Imme rsionRC's transmitters and are plug-and-play with the proper connector already fitted to the supplied cable.

NOTE: Due to the popularity of ImmersionRC's transmitter s other brands have opted to

use the same connectors as ImmersionRC. In their in finite wisdom they unfortunately have opted to not use the same, industry standard, ImmersionRC pin out. This can result in significant damage to their, or ImmersionRC's, t ransmitters when used without verifying the pin out. The same applies to the ante nna connector, other manufacturers have opted to use a RP-SMA antenna connector, which again is not compatible with the, industry standard, SMA connector. Please always che ck and verify your connector pin outs and type prior to use to prevent costly mistak es.

NOTE: In the images used in this manual the protective t ransparent shrink-wrap is removed to be able to take clear photos, during use the shrink-wrap should NEVER be removed as it protects the electronic components fi tted to the PCB and safeguards the

transmitter from accidental short-circuits when in close contact with metallic or conductive (carbon fiber) surfaces. I.e. always lea ve the shrink-wrap on, do NOT take it

off.

Channel frequencies

The frequency of the channel in the 5.8GHz band the audio/video transmitter transmits on is set by a total of three (3) dipswitches on th e transmitter. The 4th dipswitch is not used for channel selection, hence its position does n't matter. Please refer to the below noted image for the channel frequencies and corresp onding dipswitch settings:www.immersionrc.com info@immersionrc.com

Notes on proper use of the audio/video transmitter

• Do not run the audio/video transmitter without a s uitable antenna connected.

• Do NOT remove the protective outer shrink-wrap.

• Make sure there's plenty of airflow over the trans mitter for cooling.

• Make sure the antenna is properly fitted and won't come loose during use.

• Do not run the transmitter off of a regulated powe r supply

- Notes on troubleshooting the audio/video transmitte r

• No video, black screen > cap still on camera lens, GND not connected on video.

• Poor range, dropouts > RP-SMA antenna fitted, LHCP /RHCP antennas mixed.

• No LED > 5V output shorted or excessive power draw from 5V output.

• Hum in audio > ground loop, multiple GND wires con nected.

• Snowy image, black/white > wrong channel selected.

• Great disturbance in the force > 12V connected to 5V input.
