Quick Start Guide
1• Verify proper operation of camera and monitor/event
recorder using coaxial cable prior to installing wireless link.
2• Install transmitter (VTX5900) and receiver (VRX5900) units
to a steel pole in desired location per installation drawing (see Figure 1A). The pole must be securely mounted so that it does not move, and may be from 1.5” to 3” in diameter.
3• Install antennas above the enclosures.
WARNING
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN INSTALLING ANTENNAS NEAR POWER LINES.
4• Slide heatshrink over antenna cable. Tighten antenna cable
to receiver and transmitter. Heat the heatshrink until it contracts around the connector junction.
5• Connect video, audio, power, alarm, PC interface cables as
needed to units through flanges. Tighten flanges to allow small air gap at bottom of enclosure.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Power adapter must be kept dry.
6• Verify that LEDs are lit up and transmitter and receiver are
on same channel.
7• Tighten lid of enclosure. 8• To help protect against potential lightning damage, use a
lightning surge arrestor in line with all cabling entering a structure and at the antenna input.

CAUTION
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER UNLESS THE ANTENNA IS CONNECTED. PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

System Description:
The Falcon PLUS™ Wireless Video System is a professional quality system designed for sending composite NTSC or PAL video, audio, and alarm signals using 5.8 GHz wireless technology. The typical Falcon PLUS™ system consists of a VTX5900 transmitter and antenna, VRX5900 Receiver and antenna, and power adapters. The system is ideal for permanent or temporary video links due to its portable nature and easy installation. It is not designed for operation while in motion.
Figure 1a shows the most common connection diagram for setting up a wireless video link using the Falcon PLUS™. Audio connections are not shown. The default channel selection is Channel 1.
Figures 1b, 1c, and 1d show the orientation of the antennas and mounting of the enclosures. NOTE: Make sure that your camera and monitor/recorder work properly hardwired before attempting to install the wireless link.

Installation:
The Falcon PLUS™ system is factory-configured for operation on channel 1 with right and left audio operational.
To obtain the best picture quality and transmission distance, the following rules of thumb should be followed:
1) Mount the transmitter and receiver antennas above human and mechanical traffic, the higher the better. A 10 foot 2 3/8” diameter steel mast on top of a building is typical. Make sure that the mast is well grounded to earth ground with an 8 AWG or larger wire. For maximum range, the transmit and receive antennas must be 15 to 20 feet above all obstacles in the line of sight.
2) Keep the transmission path as open as possible. Objects such as walls and metallic objects near the transmission path reflect signals and may reduce the transmission distance.
3) Do not add additional lengths of cable to connect the receiver to the antenna as significant losses in signal and reduced transmission range will occur.
4) Keep the cable connecting the antenna to the receiver as short as possible.
The VTX5900 transmitter and VRX5900 receiver units come pre-mounted in a NEMA 4X rated aluminum enclosure that allows mounting of the unit outdoors.

Transmitter Operation
Figure 2 shows the interior of the VTX5900 transmitter and the
functions of each control and input/output. Each control is described in greater detail below. This card is encased in a NEMA 4X rated aluminum/powdercoat enclosure. Do not remove the card from the enclosure.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The transmitter uses a non­standard jack to connect to the transmitter antenna. Any modification to this jack may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
CAUTION
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER WITHOUT THE ANTENNA SECURELY ATTACHED. DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE TO THE ALARM PINS. DAMAGE TO THE UNIT MAY RESULT.

VTX5900 Transmitter Inputs & Controls:
1. POWER INPUT
Accepts a 6-12 Vdc power source such as the standard 7 Vdc adapter (Trango part number PT07800-1), or an optional battery. The nominal current draw is 200 milliamperes. If using an adapter from a third party, use a well-regulated 300 mA minimum output supply. Do
not use the PT07800-1 to power a camera or video distortion may occur.
2. ALARM INPUTS
These inputs are used to send alarm signals to the receiver. They sense an open or closed state and reflect that state to the receiver whenever it changes. The alarm inputs operate independently of each other. The transmitter is capable of sending either alarms or stereo audio, selectable via the Stereo/Alarm switch. If you wish to use the audio feature and alarm, you will send only mono audio.
3/4. RIGHT & LEFT AUDIO INPUTS
Designed to mate to standard RCA connectors, each input accepts 1 Vpp audio input and is terminated with 600Ω unbalanced configuration. It is designed to interface to “lineout” audio sources. A preamplifier must be used to connect a microphone to this input.
5. STEREO/ALARM SWITCH When this switch is in the “R Audio On” position, stereo audio transmission is enabled. This permits the transmission of stereo audio with no data or alarms. When it is in the “Alm/Data Mode On” position, R audio is disabled. In its place, either alarms or user data (Data Pass-Through mode) are transmitted. Trango Systems’ MIC-001 can be used for audio transmission.
