FPV-T1
TM
5.8GHZ 25mW TRANSMITTER
Tactic’s FPV-T1 first person video
transmitter (Tx) is intended for sending
video signals from a camera (available
separately) mounted inside an R/C hobby
model to a 5.8GHz receiver (Rx) on the ground. Three bands with a total of 22 frequencies in the 5.8GHz spectrum can be user
selected. For optimum use, operate the system away from other 5.8GHz transmitters, in areas having as few obstructions
possible between the Tx and Rx. For best signal, use a clean and stable DC power source (battery, voltage regulator, etc.).
Allow for maximum space from other electronic components such as ESCs and cables, R/C receivers, high power servos,
telemetry radios, etc.
Carefully thread the included antenna onto the RP-SMA receptacle on the Tx, being careful not to cross-thread. Turn the mounting
screw until snug – do NOT overtighten. Do NOT apply power to the transmitter if the antenna is disconnected as it could cause
the Tx to overheat!
The included Y-wire harness connects the Tx to a camera and battery
(both available separately). Attach the adapter’s white connector to the Tx.
Connection polarities are as follows:
CAMERA CONNECTION:
Attach the white/yellow/black wire
to the camera’s A/V signal output. Make sure the polarities
on the camera’s input matches those of the adapter. Use
the included gray/yellow/black cable extension with USB
Mini-B plug if necessary.
BATTERY CONNECTION:
Attach the red/black wire to the
battery. Use the included cable extension with red connector
if necessary. IMPORTANT: Make sure polarities match! Do
NOT exceed the acceptable input voltage range of 7.4 – 22.2
volts, which can be achieved with a 2S-6S lithium-polymer
(LiPo) battery.
Refer to the charts below to determine the frequency to transmit the video signal. The frequency number is shown at the

BAND SELECTION: Switches 4 and 5 are used to set either band A, B, or F. Place both switches UP for band A, switch 4 down
and switch 5 up for band B, and both switches DOWN for band F.
CHANNEL SELECTION: Switches 1, 2, and 3 are used to set the frequency. Set each respective switch to the location which
matches that shown in the chart for band A, B, or F, depending on your desired frequency.
