TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem
Wavy or ghost image if connected to image processor (e.g., multiplexer or DVR), but not if directly to monitor?
Image background flutters b
etween dark and light?
Image is wavy and shakes?
Image is weak or faded?
No image?
Poor image quality when testing using cable on a reel?
Possible Cause
a. Strong electromagnetic interference. b. Poor signal, or balun separation is
too long. c. Split pairs. d. Crimped cable.
Interference from external power source.
Twisted pair wires reversed.
a. Exceeded recommended balun
separation. b. Using lower-grade cable than
recommended. a. Power is off.
b. Cable is incorrectly connected/crimped. c. Cable was accidentally cut. d. Wires running from pins 7 and 8
reversed. e. Defective camera or remote video
device. f. Defective video balun.
Induction from the coiled cable.
Possible Solution
a. Move the cable away from possible sources of
interference. b. Install video amplifier between image processor and balun. c. Ensure same twisted pair connects to balun at both ends of
cable. d. Replace cable with new cable.
Remove power source, or adjust monitor's brightness and contrast.
Try reversing polarity of the 2 wires at one end of cable. a. Reduce cable length.
b. Replace with a higher-grade cable. Cat 5e cable meets
specifications in the manual. Cat 5e or better cable
allows longer range. a. Check the power supplies of all devices connected to
the cable. b. Check video signal of receiver. c. Double-check that the cable was connected and
crimped properly. d. Run a continuity test on all wires in the cable. e. Reverse the wires. f. Replace the unit with a new unit.
Test only with cable laid out in such a way that it is not coiled and does not double back on itself.

WHAT IT IS
The EVT-TB1-42T and EVT-RB1-4T2 active video baluns are the quick, low-cost way to connect CCTV cameras to a monitor, multiplexer, or video recorder at up to 1.5 miles (2,400 meters) away for monochrome cameras, or up to 1 mile (1,500 meters) away for color cameras.
The baluns allow a CCTV camera’s video signal to be transmitted over low-cost Cat 5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable instead of costly coax cable. They are suitable for full-motion color and monochrome cameras.

INSTALLATION Active video baluns are connected in pairs. The EVT-TB1-42T transmitter connects to the CCTV camera’s BNC
connector, and the EVT-RB1-4T2 receiver connects to the BNC connector of a remote video device, such as a monitor, digital video recorder, or video hub. Exception: The EVT-TB1-42T transmitter can be connected to passive video hubs like SECO-LARM’s 16-port EVT-PH16-4T2 without the use of the EVT-RB1-4T2 receiver, but range will be significantly decreased.
A. Run the cable (fig. 2):

1. Make sure the distance between the CCTV camera and the remote video monitor, recorder, multiplexer, or other device to which it is connected does not exceed the active balun’s range.
2. Run the UTP cable from the remote video device to where it will be connected to the CCTV camera. Follow the CCTV camera’s installation instructions for information on how to safely run and hide this cable.
NOTE:
The ends of the cable near the CCTV camera and the remote video device should be bare wires. Do not crimp to RJ-45
connectors.

5. P
ower Out (two terminals) – If needed, can be used to power a CCTV camera or other device, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. Current available is the current output of the DC adapter, less 40mA. So, if a 12VDC, 500mA adapter is used, power out is 12VDC, 460mA, or if a 24VDC, 500mA adapter is used, power out is 24VDC, 460mA. Test output before connecting the camera or device.
6. Video In (BNC connector) – Plug the camera’s BNC connector to this connector.
C. Wire the EVT-RB1-4T2 receiver (fig. 3):
1. Power In (two terminals) – Connect to the included 12VDC adapter. NOTE: This connection is polarity-sensitive. Connect “+” terminal to +12VDC, “-“ terminal to ground.
2. Data Out (two terminals) – Connect to the Data In terminals of the EVT-TB1-42T transmitter. NOTE: This connection is only for cameras which have an optional PTZ controller. NOTE: The “+” and “-“ terminals are connected to the same “+” and “-“ terminals on the

F. Adjust the EVT-RB1-4T2 receiver (table 2):
1. Adjust the receiver’s gain via the DIP switch according to the distance from the receiver to the transmitter (see table 2).
2. Turn the brightness pod right or left while watching the video monitor to adjust the video image’s brightness.
MOUNTING AND DAISY-CHAINING MULTIPLE RECEIVERS (optional) (fig. 4): The optional EVT-xxxx 1U balun mounting plate allows up to eight EVT-RB1-4T2 receivers to be mounted on a
standard 19-inch rack along with other video equipment for a safe and secure installation. The receivers can be daisy-chained together for easier mounting of multiple units and to reduce the number
of power supplies, using the included patch cords with a 4-pin connector on each end. For a clean installation, the receivers can be interlocked with each other.

Note 1: Interlocking design for cleaner and more professional results.
Note 2: Maximum of 8 can be interlocked per one 500mA adapter. INSTALLATION OF MULTIPLE CAMERAS Standard Cat 5e UTP cable includes four pairs of colored wires. Up to four CCTV cameras can be connected per
single run of Cat 5e UTP cable without interfering with each other under normal conditions. However, for installations where multiple cameras cannot be run over the same cable, separate cables must
be run between the cameras and the remote devices. OTHER CABLE TYPES The active video baluns, when used with Cat 5e UTP cable, offer the performance characteristics mentioned in
this manual. Other types of twisted cable can be used as well. However, the performance characteristics vary from cable to cable, and so care must be taken when using other types of cable. Specifically, the maximum distance between the camera and the remote device may decrease significantly with lower grades of cable.
