IMPORTANT
Please read the following points before servicing or installing.
Pre-installation checks - It is recommended that the unit be bench tested prior to installation on the site.
Safety during installation or servicing - Particular care should be taken to isolate the pan/tilt head in order to prevent
operation while engineering work is being carried out. In addition any ladder or other means of working on the receiver
MUST NOT rest on the pan/tilt head as it is possible for the head to move when not expected.
Safety check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, safety checks should be performed to ensure that the
unit is in proper operating condition.
Coax grounding - If an outside cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the cable system is grounded.
Adhere to Safety Standards - All normal safety precautions as laid down by British Standards and the Health and Safety at
Work Act should be observed.
WARNING - TO PREVENT DANGER OF FIRE OR SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THIS EQUIPMENT
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
Damage requiring service - Servicing by qualified personnel should be carried out under the following conditions:
(a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged;
(b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit;
(c) If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
(d) If the unit has been dropped or the enclosure is damaged;
Replacement parts - If replacement parts are required, ensure that only replacement parts recommended by the product
manufacturer are used.

PATROLS (This function is only available for BBV coax)
A Patrol automatically runs through a sequence of selected presets with a programmed delay between each preset. The
receiver continues in this mode until a pan or tilt key is pressed.
Each BBV receiver is capable of operating two patrol modes made up of the 16 presets. The Tx40X will only control the first
9 presets. When a preset is programmed it is automatically entered into both patrols. Presets can be removed from either
patrol to make up the required sequences.
If a preset is erased it is automatically removed from a patrol.
To remove a preset from Patrol 1:
Select the preset you wish to remove from the patrol by pressing the appropriate Preset key. Press and hold PROGRAM

Rx10X
The Rx10X is designed to offer a simple solution for applications where there is a need to
control one of a variety of 3rd Party Dome Cameras. The receiver offers considerable
opportunities for upgrading existing BBV telemetry systems as it is now possible to add a
wide range of integrated domes into the system.
Rx200/WBX
The Rx200 offers control of AC driven pan only or wash / wipe / lights for static cameras.
The compact dimension of this PCB allows it to be fitted within a camera housing or dome
as an alternative to the more usual weather-proof enclosure.
Rx300/WBX
The Rx300 offers control of AC driven pan, tilt and zoom cameras, whether mounted
externally or internally. This gives you entry level control of AC Pan/Tilt/Focus with 1
auxiliary output. Controlled by BBV up-the-coax and 20mA twisted pair. The compact
dimensions of the PCB allow it to be fitted within camera housing as an alternative to the
more usual weather-proof enclosure.
Rx400/WBX
The Rx400P Telemetry Receiver is ideal for controlling full function ac pan/tilt/zoom
Cameras in an external environment where accessories such as wiper, washer etc. are
the norm. The Rx400P offers up to 16 full scene presets. These may be used as a method
of visually patrolling large areas of a site. They may be interlinked with detection devices
in automated system designs. Presets effectively reduce reliance on the operator.
Rx25X
The Rx25X Multiple Protocol Auxiliary Relay Receiver is designed to offer a simple, cost
effective solution to activate an auxiliary output, for example to activate a Washer, Wiper
