HD Mule Instructions
3
On installations where you have only one co-ax cable installed, the HD Mule makes it
really easy to add extra cameras - it saves time, saves money & saves mess.
Perfect if you don’t have access to run any more cables, even data cables, underground.
The clever electronics of the MULE102 allow it to carry the RS485 data along the same RG59
Co-ax cable enabling the operator to monitor and control the system from a dierent location.
Using multi-signal technology the HDMule works with TVI, CVI, AHD and even analogue
cameras for maximum exibility.
Please Note - some HD cameras (TVI, CVI and AHD) use“up the co-ax” menu control, because
of how the HDMules work this “Co-axitron” will not work through the Mule, however on PTZ
and similar cameras you can use the Mule’s RS485 transmission to operate the camera.
Higher resolutions than the stated ones may work on shorter cable lengths but with so
many variables involved like camera technology, distance, cable quality and frame rate, the
maximum resolutions are stated for guidance. On most HD cameras you can adjust the output
to suit and we suggest setting this to 2MP.

- down ONE RG59 cable!

CON380
To connect RS485 data to a BNC socket you need a
BNC to terminal adapter like the CON380. These clever
adapters convert a positive and negative terminal
connection into a BNC plug and work either way.

HD Mule Instructions
Installation
1. Ensure that the HD or analogue camera is connected to
the Mule Transmitter (marked Tx). The Mule units are not
waterproof and must be installed in water proof boxes if
installed outdoors.
2. Connect the camera video feeds to the BNC connections
marked IN 1 and IN 2 on the Mule Tx. If using the unit
as a combiner for RS485 data transmission, connect to IN 1
using a BNC to terminal adapter (CON380) at each end.
3. Take a coax cable from the single video out BNC
connection on the back of the transmitter to the single
BNC in connection on the Mule Receiver. Connect BNCs
from the respective video outputs on the Mule Receiver to
a compatible DVR or suitable equipment.
4. If using the RS485 connection, only one video stream can
be used as well. The RS485 works in the alternate direction
to the video. i.e. from receiver to transmitter.
Powering The Units
The MULE102 units are powered with a 12V DC input connected to the 2.1mm DC socket. The
Transmitter requires a minimum of 60mA and the Receiver requires a minimum of 275mA. To
power the units we recommend 12V DC PSU supplying no less than 500mA to each unit.
