1.8 Powering on the System
In this section a SOLO4 Central Receiver will be used to receive and
decode four SOLO4/2 transmitters.
Note: This section assumes the user is confident in the operation of SOLO4/2
transmitters. If in doubt the user should read the SOLO4/2 Transmitter Hand Book.
Four SOLO4 / 2 transmitters should be set up as described in the
SOLO4/2 handbook, each with the following connections.
•
Video Source.
•
Power Source.
•
RS232 Control connection to a PC operating the SOLO4/2
controller GUI.
All external connection to the SOLO4 Central Receiver should be made,
as described in the previous sections, before proceeding to power on
the system. All external connection to the SOLO Transmitter products
should be made, as described in the relevant sections of the SOLO4/2
Handbook, before proceeding to power on the system.
Setting Frequency on the Transmitters and Central Receiver
It is assumed that the frequency selected for the transmitters is matched
with the frequency specified on the SOLO4 Central Receiver.
Transmitter 1 Frequency = Receiver 1 Frequency
Transmitter 2 Frequency = Receiver 2 Frequency
Transmitter 3 Frequency = Receiver 3 Frequency
Transmitter 4 Frequency = Receiver 4 Frequency
If the frequencies do not match or the user is unsure, then consult the
advanced section of this manual on how to set frequency on the SOLO4
Central Receiver, and the advanced section of the SOLO4/2 transmitter
manual on how to set frequency.
Applying power to the Solo Central Receiver
On powering the SOLO4 Central Receiver, the Power LED will light as a
‘Solid’ green colour and progress to a flashing green. The sound of the
internal cooling fans will be heard. The four status LEDs will be red.
Applying power to Transmitter 1.
When powering transmitter 1 directly from a 12V source, or from a
connected battery, the following will be observed.
