BlokCam ®X2 Installation and User Manual V1.0.3 Issue Date 01/06/2018
Introduction
BlokCam ® is a wireless system that can be quickly and easily
deployed to the hook block or boom tip of a crane. The sound
and view from below the camera is then transmitted and
received wirelessly via the antenna system to a screen in the
cab. This allows the operator to see and hear the load and
surroundings, giving an unobstructed, live, audio-visual feed of
the critical areas that working in the blind would never allow.
The Process Explained
1. The Battery provides power to the Transmitter and the
Sensor. The Sensor captures the audio-visual feed and
sends it to the transmitter. Each component is magnetically
attached and tethered to the desired surface. The signal is
transmitted through one or more repeaters depending on
the required configuration.
2. The Repeater is a modular transceiver which can be
powered over ethernet (POE), by the BlokCam ® Battery or
an alternative 12-24Vdc supply. The Repeater receives the
wireless signal from the transmitter and relays the data back
to a Processor and Monitor. The quantity and position of the
repeater/s vary depending on the required configuration.
3. The final Repeater will be connected to, and powered over
ethernet by the Processor. The Processor can be powered
by mains or a 9-36vdc supply. The processor decodes the
data and transfers the image and audio onto the Monitor.
The Processor also powers the Monitor.
Remarks
1. Always adhere to the crane manufacturer’s instructions.
2. BlokCam ® should be used to assist the operator’s
judgement, not replace it.
3. All aspects of installation, removal, charging, use and fault
finding should only be carried out by trained and competent
persons
4. Ensure BlokCam ® parts and components do not interfere
with crane manufacturers and/or third-party components,
parts and systems, moving or otherwise.
5. The hook block parts and components are magnetically
mounted; prior to adverse weather conditions or in any
situation where the hook block may come into contact with
the crane and/or third-party components, moving or
otherwise remove all components from the hook block.
6. Always ensure that lanyards are connected, and Quick
Links are tightened. Consider that the hook block may
change configuration, shape and size.
7. High powered magnets in use. Neodymium magnets are
permanent and strong, use correct protective equipment to
avoid trapping hazard.
8. Working at Height. If possible, installation work should be
completed at ground level, prior to the crane erection and
installation of the jib. For working at height, please refer to
regional and site-specific regulations and guidelines and
ensure installation team are competent and adequately
trained.
9. In Wi-Fi networking, a point-to-point wireless bridge lets
users wirelessly connect two or more locations together.
This bridge connects two or more locations to share data
across the network.
10. BlokCam ® transceivers operate within the 5GHz band. For
best results ensure a direct line of sight between all wireless
transceivers and antennas.
11. Frequency selection and transmit power may vary. Please
refer to regional regulations, guidelines and authorities to
ensure legal operation.
12. A competent person should carry out pre-use checks prior
to the commencement of work. Pre-use check sheets are
available online from www.blokcam.com
13. Parts and components may differ from renders.
14. Manual subject to change without notice
15. Subject to Copyright

Installation
Foreword
Duck Bill Antennas are omni directional. For best performance,
the orientation between the transmitting and receiving antennas
must remain parallel and in-line (not offset), consistent and with
a direct line of sight. Omni directional antennas do not emit a
signal out of the tip of the antenna.
Mount & Secure the Transmitter
Pre-empt the position of the Transmitter and consider:
a. lanyard length and distance to a secure point
receiving Repeater and, whilst ensuring a direct line of sight to
the anticipated Repeater position.
1. Magnetically mount the Transmitter to a clean and flat
surface.
2. Connect 2 x N-type right angle connector onto the antenna
ports.
3. Connect a 7dBi Antenna to each of the N-type right angle
connectors.
4. Both Antenna’s should be horizontally positioned and at a
right angle to each other.
5. Once the optimum position has been achieved, firmly
tighten the antenna’s and N-type connectors.
6. Fit Quick Link to Transmitter anchor point.
7. Choke and secure a lanyard to a fixed and secure point.
8. Attach the loose end of Lanyard to the Quick Link.
9. Firmly tighten the Quick Link.
When necessary reverse the above steps for removal.

f. the lanyard length and distance to a secure point;
g. which ports will need blanking;
h. the dynamics of machine.
1. Attach the best suited RAM Mount, Ball Joint Bracket to a
fixed and secure point. If the supplied brackets are not
suitable please seek advice from an authorised BlokCam ®
dealer.
2. Connect the Double Socket Ram Mount Arm complete with
lanyard to the RAM Mount Ball Joint Bracket.
3. Connect the Ball Joint attached to the rear of the Repeater
to the Double Socket Ram Mount Arm.
4. Fit Quick Link to Repeater.
5. Connect Double Socket Arm lanyard to Quick Link.
6. Choke and secure a second lanyard to fixed and secure
point.
7. Attach the loose end of lanyard to the Quick Link.
8. Firmly tighten the Quick Link.
9. Connect 1 x N-type right angle connector onto an antenna
port.
10. Connect a 7dBi Antenna to each of the ports.

provide approximately 12 hours of use. Certain operating
conditions will decrease the standard runtime of the battery,
including extreme hot or cold temperatures. The battery takes
approximately 5 hours to fully charge.
Spare batteries should be kept in a clean and dry environment.
BlokCam ® recommend swapping and charging the battery at
the beginning of every shift.
1. Ensure charging contacts on the Battery and Charging
Station are clean, dry and in good condition.
2. Ensure that the Charging Station is powered up.
3. Place the discharged battery into the Charging Station.
4. Use the Charge Indicator LED andIndicator Plate to monitor
the charge condition.
5. When charged and/or required, lift the battery from the
Charging Station.
Operating Instructions
Foreword
Operation is reliant on correct installation, charged batteries
and/or reliable power source.
1. Power up the Processor.
2. The Monitor should power up automatically. If the Monitor
does not power up automatically, press the power button on
the right-hand side of the Monitor.
3. Wired Repeaters will power up automatically.
4. If applicable, power up any Wireless Repeater/s as
instructed on page 12.
5. Power up the Transmitter. Mount, connect andsecure a fully
