OPERATION

Using your Palladium Transmitter

Follow the instructions given in the Quick Start section on pages 4-5.
When power is first applied to the Palladium, the unit reverts to the last
used channel and RF (ON/OFF) state. One of the green channel LEDs will
turn ON indicating the active channel. The Alarm LED may be ON, which
indicates that there is no active video input.

NOTE

: Since the Palladium transmitter always returns to the last

configuration on power-up, the unit should always be deployed with
the RF switch ON. Therefore, once deployed, control of the unit must
be restricted to applying and removing power. See the 

Quick Start

(pages 4-5), and 

Heatsinking 

(page 8) for more installation guidance.

Changing your Transmitter Configuration

The Palladium Transmitter can store up to 8 different configurations,
which can be selected on the front panel. Each of these configurations can
be programmed into the Transmitter with the supplied DTC Programming
Software and a Windows PC. Refer to the Programming section on page 10
for more information.

To cycle through your preconfigured channels press the CONFIG button
once to advance to the next setting. By default, the Palladium will turn
OFF the transmitted signal while you are changing channels. This is to
prevent accidental interference. Push the RF button after channel selection
to resume RF transmission of your video image.
