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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Decide 14-69. The camera cable range is channels 70-94, 100-125.

The channel selected for the camera must be a blank TV channel (no video signal) with

least one blank channel above and below the camera channel.
