Transmitter Operation
Antenna jack. This connector is used to connect an appropriate Trango
transmitter antenna. The antennas authorized for use with this unit are
the AD900-9-P patch and the AO900-3-P omni. The maximum transmis-
sion range when using the omni will be reduced by approximately half.
The connector used is custom and is somewhat fragile. Fasten the con-
nector only finger-tight, no more than 8 lb/in. Important! The trans-
mitter uses a non-standard 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.
Do not apply power to the transmitter without the antenna securely
attached. Damage to the unit may result.
Data interfaces. There are two data interfaces: a terminal block and a
male DB9 connector. Refer to the drawing below. In order to avoid dam-
age to the unit, do not use both the terminal block and the DB9 for data
output simultaneously. For more information, visit our website,
www.trangosys.com.
1 Terminal block. Two lugs serve as the input for simplex data from
1200 to 19200 bps. When transmitting under RS485/422 protocols,
data connections from the PTZ controller are made on TX+ and TX–
of the terminal block. For RS232, the connections are to TXD and
GND. The PTZ-900
TX does not use the RX+ and RX– connectors.
2 DB9 connector. Attach the programming cable, CBLDAT-2, to this
connector in order to use the TrangoLink set-up program. Refer to
the instructions on page 11. This interface can also be used for con-
necting data input from a PTZ controller, but it might be difficult to
close the unit while a cable is attached.

Power input. Accepts a power source between 6 and 13 volts DC. It is
highly recommended that the supplied power adapters (7VDC) be used
to reduce the heat dissipated from the unit. If another power adapter
is to be used, ensure that it is well regulated (±5%). Batteries may be
used as external power sources as well. The nominal current draw is
190 milliamperes when not sending commands and 522 milliamperes
while sending commands.
LED. The LED has three functional modes as follows:
1 Alternating green and red: The unit is waiting for a command from
TrangoLink software (twenty seconds after startup only.)
2 Red: The unit is ready to receive data from the PTZ control equip-
ment.
3 Green: The unit is sending data on the air. Since the data is typically
sent out in bursts, the LED will be green for a very short time only.
