7. Wireless transmission
The range of wireless transmission depends on various environmental factors. The local conditions at the
installation location can have a negative impact on the range. For this reason, if there is a clear line of
sight between the receiver and the transmitter, the range can be as much as 200 m, but in buildings it is
significantly less.
The following environmental factors impair both the range and the frame rate:
Mobile phone masts, high-tension electricity pylons, power lines, ceiling and walls, devices with the same
or similar radio frequency.

Connect a camera to the transmitter to establish wireless transmission of the signal to a recorder or
monitor via the receiver.
The IR sensor is located in the middle between the LEDs. Using the receiver, you have the possibility
of transmitting the signals from a remote control to the transmitter. The transmitter then sends on the
received IR signals (e.g. to a recorder).
Please ensure that the IR LED on the transmitter has a direct visual contact to the IR LED on
the recorder.
5.2 Pairing the transmitter and receiver
Proceed as follows to pair the transmitter and receiver:
1. First press the PAIRING button on the receiver until the green LINK LED on the front starts
to flash.
2. Now press the PAIRING button on the transmitter until the green LINK LED on the front starts to
flash.
3. Both LINK LEDs on the devices light up continuously when the connection has been established
successfully.
6. Maintenance and cleaning
6.1 Maintenance
Regularly check the product's physical state, e.g. check for damage of the housing.
If you suspect that safe operation cannot be guaranteed anymore, disconnect the product and ensure
that it cannot be used by mistake.
Warning:
Please ensure that the IR LED on the transmitter has a direct visual contact to the IR LED on
the recorder for transmission.
