1. Solder the Video Signal/GND cables to your wireless video transmission module (air system).

2. Plug the gimbal video signal cable into the GCU video signal port.

Ensure the wireless video transmission unit is connected to the GCU before powering on the aircraft.

Use of a standard gimbal video signal cable is recommended. Make sure you solder the

gimbal video signal cable to the wireless video transmission module firmly. Insulate all the

cables to prevent short circuiting.

The GCU does not provide power to the wireless transmission module. Refer to the wireless

video transmission module manual for details on the power supply connection.

The diagram below shows the how video signal flows from the camera to the gimbal.

Should errors occur, examine each step to locate the source of the problem.
