4. SPECIAL ATTENTION
a. Only use the power supplies included with these units. The use of other power supplies
may damage the transmitter and/or receiver and void the warranty.
b. The loss of optical fiber should be less than 18 dB. Any loss greater than 18 dB will
compromise the receiver’s ability to get the optical signals from the transmitter.
c.
Adhere to the equipment’s in-door operating temperature and humidity specifications.
Failure to do so may damage the equipment and void the warranty.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING
a. No picture after applying power
– (i) check all connectors and cables are securely
connected to the video source, monitor, transmitter and receiver; (ii) ensure all power
supplies are providing the correct voltage and current.
b. No image or poor image quality
– determine if the optical signal loss is greater than 18
dB.
c. The picture has ripples
– (i) check to see if the camera’s power supply is experiencing
AC ripple, if so a filter may be required; (ii) determine if the monitor is faulty; (iii)
determine if other peripheral equipment is causing ripple and if so make the necessary
adjustments.
d. The picture background continuously changes color
– a fluorescent lamp’s magnetic
field may cause color roll, therefore, reduce the number of fluorescent lamps or
increase the distance between the camera and the lamps.
e. The picture appears smeared
– (i) the camera’s power supply voltage level may be
unstable, therefore, try another power supply; (ii) ensure the camera and/or monitor
cables are correctly connected and/or the cables are of the correct impedance.
f.
Other interference may require a Fibertronix ground loop isolation filter.
g. Data communications are not working
– (i) ensure all cables and connectors are
secured and (ii) ensure all terminal block connections are consistent as specified in the
wiring diagram for the transmitter and receiver and the PTZ camera.
