IB-1 

 9 

SET-UP:

 

 
The IB1 is designed to be powered by an external power supply using jack J1. 
A 12 to 15 volt regulated DC supply is recommended, with the “center” pin of 
the connector being the positive or the (+) connection. 
 
              1. Connect a suitable power supply to the IB1 board. 
              2. Connect the video output of the IB1 to the video input of your TV or 
              VCR. 
              3. Connect the audio output of the IB1 to the audio input of your TV or 
              VCR. 
              4.  Adjust your TV to its auxiliary  channel if you’re not using a VCR, if 
              you are using a VCR adjust your TV to either channel three or four; 
              whichever the VCR is set to. You may have to adjust the 
              tracking on your VCR. 
              5.  If you have a clear picture along with good audio you can breath 
              a sigh of relief. If you don’t then look at the next section, trouble-
              shooting. 

 

TROUBLESHOOTING: 

 

1. Check for cold solder joints. They'll look gray and dull as opposed to silver 

and shiny. 

2. NO VIDEO.                                                                                                 

Make sure that the RCA connections are correct and check the TV/VCR 
adjustments, channel and/or input settings.  

3. NO VIDEO.                                                                                                              

See if the correct voltage is being supplied to the camera at the camera 
connection hole marked C. If not, make sure that you have power to the PC 
board. 

4. NO AUDIO.                                                                                                            

If you don’t have voltage to the camera, as mentioned earlier, you also 
don’t have any voltage going to the audio section of circuitry. 

5. VERY LITTLE AUDIO                                                                                     

Check to make sure that Q1 and Q2 are installed properly and also the 
resistors that are directly connected to them are the correct value. 

 
If none of the above has helped you, then see the Ramsey kit warranty in the 
manual.
