2. INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
The Rx100 telemetry interface is designed to allow control of a variety of integrated dome cameras
using BBV’s range of up-the-coax telemetry transmitters. See appendix A for a complete list of
supported domes.
The Rx100 interface is supplied in an IP 67 rated enclosure. It will be necessary to make suitable
holes in the enclosure to permit cable entry and exit. Adequately rated cable glands and or flexible
conduit should be used at all times to avoid compromising the protection afforded by the enclosure
as supplied. Any holes made in the enclosure for any other purpose should be sealed with a non-
hardening water-proof sealant, taking care to ensure that the internal electronics are not
contaminated.

CABLE CONNECTION METHOD
Fig. 1: Wago connectors
The WAGO PCB terminal block is a simple-to-use method of
attaching cables to PCBs quickly and easily. Prepare cables
as follows:
•Use only cable between 0.08 and 2.5 mm²
•Strip the cable to a length of 5 to 6 mm (0.23 in)
The correct method of attachment is as follows:
1. Press down the relevant terminal block lever with a
suitable screwdriver;
2. Insert wire;
3. Remove screwdriver.
The procedure for detaching wires is the reverse of the 3
attachment steps, ensuring that power is disconnected
before starting.

4. SETUP
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Two L.E.D.s are mounted on-board to give simple system status information. Their functions are as
follows:
Cable LED
Regular Blinking -Telemetry and video signals are OK.
Blinking but mainly ON -No Telemetry from the transmitter.
Blinking but mainly OFF -No video from the camera.
Error LED
On -Telemetry transmission error.
Both LEDs
Off -No power or major PCB fault.
All BBV equipment is designed to auto-tune and compensate for any discrepancies in the
transmitted telemetry signal, there are no further adjustments that need to be made.
VIDEO LAUNCH AMPLIFIER AND CABLE LENGTH COMPENSATION
The interface features a video launch amplifier with two variable controls situated close to the BNC
connectors: Lift and Gain. These are pre-adjusted for a cable distance of 500m of RG59, are and
adjustable to compensate for video detail or signal losses if and when longer or shorter cable
lengths are used to connect the telemetry transmitter to the interface.
Fig. 3 Launch Amplifier
The purpose of each control is:
GAIN varies the overall signal level.
LIFT boosts the high frequency component of the
video signal. If the high frequency component is too
low, picture appears ‘washed out’ and lacking detail.
Default position adjusted for 500M of RG59.
For shorter cable lenghts, turn the Gain control anti-clockwise until 1V p-p is present at the telemetry
transmitter. For longer cable lengths, turn the Gain control clockwise until 1V p-p is present at the
telemetry transmitter.

Rx100 manual Appendix B – Trouble Shooting Page B-1
Appendix B - Trouble shooting guide.
Symptom: No video from interface.
Possible causes:
1. Camera is not powered or not connected to ‘CAMERA’ BNC on interface.
Check power and cabling.
2. Interface is not powered.
Check power.
3. Video out not connected to ‘TELEMETRY’ BNC on interface.
Check cabling.
If the after following the above check list video still not present then remove both BNCs from the
interface and connect together using a female/female barrel connector to check video path from
camera to control point.
Symptom: No camera control but lights relay operates with LIGHTS key on transmitter.
Possible causes:
1. Dome data cable is not connected correctly.
Check cabling, most commonly due to data cables swapped.
2. Dome configuration switches if fitted not set correctly.
Check configuration.
Symptom: No camera control and lights relay not operating.
Possible causes:
1. Interface not seeing Telemetry signal.
Check that telemetry is present on video cable using either oscilloscope or adjust v.hold on
monitor to view frame blanking period and check for black/white band. If missing, power
down/up the transmitter. Should this fail, swap video between working and non working
channels.
2. Earth loops can interrupt telemetry operation if sufficiently severe.
If hum bars are apparent, fit isolation transformer to coaxial cable.
3. Check cable and error LEDs on interface.
See SETUP section earlier in this manual for correct indication.
