PARTS LIST

The EV-3000 series Analog Video Transmission system
comes complete with the following items:

1. EV-TX-3000 series transmitter

2. TX-S-2018-MMCX-RTA antenna

The transmitter operation can be confirmed by using a EV­RX-2000 series receiver unit from K&A. This receiver series
displays the video images on an NTSC compatible (PAL
compatible, if your camera source is PAL) monitor.

Additional accessories available through K&A Wireless:

1. Dipole antenna for receiver

2. 12-dB panel antenna for receiver

3. 5-dB vehicle-mounted antenna with magnetic

base for receiver

4. 7-dB vehicle mounted antenna for receiver

5. 9-dB vehicle-mounted antenna for receiver

6. 11-dB vehicle mounted antenna for receiver

transmitter is designated for PART 90 use and requires a
license to be obtained by the end user.

In addition to the enhanced performance, the EV-TX-3000
series provides a rudimentary security feature, which
decreases the ability of unwanted parties from receiving and
re-broadcasting the transmitted signal. Keep in mind that with
the addition of the security feature, the receiver and
transmitter will not work with off-the-shelf transmission
systems.

Transmitter

The EV-TX-3000 series transmitter is shown in Figure 1. The
transmitter is packaged for integration inside a camera only. It
has four (4) wires available - two wires (black - and red +) for
power, two (2) wires for video (yellow + and purple -) and a
channel change wire (ground for channel 2, open for channel

1). The system must be installed to operate at a minimum of

20 cm away from all persons.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The EV-TX-3000 series transmitter is a two-channel analog
FM, video transmitter operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
The EV-TX-3000 series provides a cost effective solution to
long-range transmission available for industrial,
government/municipality or for export applications.

The ISM band is a harmonized band and is available
worldwide. In the US, however, the EV-TX-3000 series

The transmitter is supplied with a K&A antenna (part #: TX­S-2018-MMCX-RTA) to comply with FCC regulations, as
shown in Figure 2. Any attempt to operate the system without
an antenna or an antenna that is not approved by K&A, in
writing, will result in damage to the system and will nullify
any warranty and MAY VIOLATE FCC LICENSE

Transmitter Installation

The transmitter is designed to be integrated into your camera
system. To install the transmitter, connect the red wire to the
battery (or regulator output), connect the black wire to ground
or the negative terminal of your battery (or regulator output).

For the video connection, you should have requested either a
high-Z or low-Z video input. This is the termination setting. If
a low-Z input is required (this is in cases where the camera is
directly tied to the transmitter with no other connections), the
transmitter will measure approximately 75ohms at the video
leads. In this case, confirm that the voltage coming from the
camera does not exceed

WILL VIOLATE FCC LICENSE APPROVAL.

In cases where a high-Z setting is requested, (when the camera
is required to drive a monitor and a transmitter without any
video buffer amplifiers in the camera), the video input on the
transmitter will measure approximately 1kOhm. In this case,
confirm that both the monitor (or load) is connected and the
transmitter is also connected. Measure the impedance of the
parallel combination and confirm that is measures
approximately 75ohm. Connect the video to the camera
(confirm that the yellow transmitter video wire is connected to
the positive video connection on the camera). In this case,
confirm that the video level at the transmitter does not exceed
1Vp-p. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL VIOLATE FCC
LICENSE APPROVAL.

Apply power to the camera and confirm that the camera is
functional. Apply power to the transmitter and you should
have a picture on the receiver unit (K&A EV-RX-2XXX
series receiver units). If there is not picture, see the
troubleshooting section of this manual. Additional
documentation may be provided for specific installations.
