Troubleshooting Tips
There are many variables involved in Video Distribution. Cable lengths, splitter/combiners, and pre-existing signals can all
impact picture quality. In general, good results are achieved when the field strengths (dB) of each signal are balanced
throughout the system. Combinations of amplifiers, attenuators, and tilt compensators may be necessary to ensure an
equalized and sufficient delivery of signal to each television.You may wish to consult your local A/V professional whose tools
and expertise can help provide you with optimal results.
Camera does not work.
No picture on
programmed UHF
channels 14-69.
No picture on
programmed CABLE
channels 70-94 or
100-125.
No picture through
Cable Box.
Camera has "forgotten"
programmed channel.
Weak "snowy" signal
on Cable or Antenna
channels after camera
added.
Weak "snowy" signal
on programmed
channel.
1. The camera requires proper power and
signal connections.
2. Power Injector is directional; power cannot
pass through TV side.
3. Coax shielding may short circuit power by
touching center conductor.
4. Sufficient power must reach camera
location. Each camera requires 12V DC,
300mA.
5. Rule out external factors such as cable,
amplifiers, splitters and other devices.
6. Camera power must be disconnected
between each channel range.
7. Numbers on printed circuit board represent
channels. Numbers on red dip switch block
do not.
8. TV must to set to ANTENNA Tuning in order
to view UHF channels 14-69.
9. TV must be set to CABLE Tuning in order
to view CABLE channels 70-94 or 100-125.
10. Cable boxes normally use CABLE Tuning.
11. Cable boxes sometimes put the camera
signal on a different channel or do not
pass the signal at all.
12. If you cannot get a signal through the
Cable Box then you must bypass it and
SWITCH THE TV between channel 3 and
the camera channel.
13. The channel is not forgotten, though a
momentary power outage may
occasionally scramble the signal.
14. Cable and Antenna signals are generally
not as strong as the camera’s. Also, the
additional cable and combiners disperse
and weaken their signal strength.
15. The camera signal is being dispersed and
weakened through the distribution system.
1. Disconnect and reconnect power supply. Camera LED should be on. Make sure
all other connections are secure.
2. Check Power Injector direction so the MOD arrow goes toward the camera and
TV arrow goes toward the television.
3. Check all coax F-connectors and replace if necessary.
4. Long cable runs will diminish power, place Power Injector closer to the camera.
Amplifiers and some splitter/combiners do not pass DC power, replace them or
move the Power Injector so that those devices are not between it and the
camera. Multiple cameras require more power, use a larger power supply that
gives each camera sufficient power.
5. Connect camera to coax, coax to Power Injector, and Power Injector directly to
one TV set. Set TV channel to 70, then program the camera to channel 70 and
look for the camera picture. If TV will not tune to channel 70, see the No picture
on programmed cable channel 70-94 section.
6. Review programming steps. Disconnect and reconnect power supply. Set the
camera for a simple channel such as UHF 40 or CABLE 80.
7. See Step 6 of this table.
8. Tu ne TV to channel 70. If successful, your TV is probably in CABLE Tuning
mode.
Then
Check the switches or menus on your television and change from CABLE
Tuning to ANTENNA Tuning.
Or
Leave the TV in CABLE Tuning and program the camera for a CABLE channel
from 70-94 or 100-125.
9. Tu ne TV to channel 70. If unsuccessful, your TV is probably in ANTENNA
Tuning mode.
Then
Check the switches or menus on your television and change from ANTENNA
Tuning to CABLE Tuning.
Or
Leave the TV in ANTENNA Tuning and program the camera for a UHF channel
from 14-69.
10. Program the camera for a CABLE channel from 70-94 or 100-125.
11. Check for the camera signal several channels above and below the
programmed channel.
12. Combine the camera signal to the cable signal after the Cable Box.
Or
Split the combined cable/camera signal before the Cable Box and recombine
again after the Cable Box. Use a filter or trap to eliminate channel 3 on the
bypassed side.
Or
Use an A/B Switch to select between modulated and cable signal.
13. Disconnect the camera power supply and reconnect after waiting for several
seconds. Programmed channel should reappear.
14. Amplify Cable or Antenna signal before combining with the camera to prevent
signal loss upstream and to help signal balance. Use other combinations of
amplifiers, attenuators, and tilt compensators to provide a balanced and
sufficient signal to each television.
15. Amplify the camera signal before combining with Cable or Antenna to prevent
signal loss upstream and to help signal balance. Use other combinations of
amplifiers, attenuators and tilt compensators to provide a balanced and
sufficient signal to each television.
