FCC NOTICE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B device,
pursuant to PART 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

RF EXPOSURE NOTICE

This equipment is approved only for mobile and base station transmitting devices,
separation distances of (i) 20 centimeters or more for antennas with gains < 6 dBi or (ii) 2
meters or more for antennas with gains

> 6 dBi should be maintained between the
antenna of this device and nearby persons during operation. To ensure compliance,
operation at distances closer than this is not recommended.

INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE

The term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the
Industry Canada technical specifications were met.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause

QUICK START GUIDE

MicroTek Electronics, Inc. recommends that all equipment be bench tested before being

installed onsite. This test will ensure that all components of your application are

functioning properly.

DATA TRANSCEIVER SET-UP

1. Remove each Transceiver from the box and attach its omni-directional dipole antenna.

2. If the device in use operates at a different Baud Rate than the factory setting of 4800, the

radio must be changed to the desired Baud rate using the Software. See Pages 5 and 6 for
information on changing the radio’s Baud Rate.

3. Select the correct mode of operation; either RS-232 or RS-422/485. Factory set to RS-

422/485.

4. For RS-422/485, determine whether a 2-wire or 4-wire set-up is required and wire into

TX +/- at the control panel and RX +/- at the camera (Pan / Tilt / Zoom Camera
applications).

5. Perform a bench test to make sure all PTZ functions can be controlled wirelessly.

6. Mount each Transceiver in an area that has clear, wide-open line of sight to the other

Transceiver. A weatherproof enclosure must be used if mounted outdoors or in a harsh
environment. If our weatherproof enclosure is used, mount using the double-sided tape.
There is enough room in our weatherproof housing for the video transmitter/receiver and
Data transceiver.

7. The red LED will light up when power has been connected and applied. One 12 VDC

power supply is included in the system for each Transceiver.

Trouble Shooting: If you cannot control the PTZ functions wirelessly or if you are
having other operational difficulties, please visit the trouble shooting section in this
operations manual or contact MicroTek toll free at [phone] for technical
assistance. MicroTek’s toll-free technical assistance is available weekdays from 8 am to 5
pm Pacific Time.
