VII. INSTALLATION

A. InstallationTips
 TheDakotaMicrowirelessadd‐onisapowerfulwirelessaudio/videotransmitter,whichwillallowyoutoviewareasout
ofreachofcables.Inselectingalocationforthetransmitterusethefollowingguidelines.Trainingvideosareavailableon
theDakotaMicrowebsiteatwww.dakotamicro.com.

 Locationwithin2,000feetofreceiverlocation(unlessusinglargerantennas).

 Lineofsite,meaningthatthereisnoobstruction,suchasabuildingortreebelt.Shorterrangesfewerthan300feet,are
lesscriticalof“lineofsite”.However,steelbuildingsandsteelwallswillinterferewiththesignal.Wallsconstructedof
woodandsheetrockaremoretransparenttothesignal.Theabilityforthesignaltopenetrateglassdependsuponifthe
glassisleadlined.Thereareseveralenvironmentalconditions,suchashighpoweredelectricallines,otherwireless
devicesignalsfromcellphonecompanies,governmentagenciesandradiostations;forexample,thatmayaffectthe
rangeoftransmission.ThereforeDMcannotguaranteeanyspecificranges.

 Standardtransmittersandreceiversmustbeinstalledindoorsinadrylocation.Forsteelbuildings,youmustusean
externalantenna.Waterprooftransmittersmaybeinstalledoutsideintheweather/rain.

 YoumayuseAgCam®cablestomountcameraupto160feetfromtransmitter.HoweverDakotaMicro,Inc.power/video
cablesarenotabletocarryaudiosignal.Ifyourequireaudio,youmustobtainspecialcablesfromyourdealer.

B. TransmitterInstallation
WhenbeingusedwithanOverView®Camera:
1) Attachsupplied3dBiantenna(1)oroptional
largeraccessoryantenna(detailsonpage4of
manual).
2) PlugintheprovidedA/Cpoweradaptorintorear
oftransmitter(2),thenplugintooutlettopower.
3) PlugtheOverView®cameradirectlyintothe
wirelesscamerainput(3)
4) Extensioncablesmaybeusedtolocatethe
cameraawayfromthetransmitterforadistance
ofupto160feet.
5) Thetransmittermusthaveonlyoneinputusedat
atime;eitherbyfrontRCAinputsorcamerainput
(3).
C. ReceiverInstallation
WhenbeingusedwiththeDakotaMicro,Inc.
monitor:

1) PlugtheOverViewconnectorintooneofthe
availablemonitorconnectors(1).
2) Powerthemonitorasinstructedinthemanual
(2).OnlyusetheACadaptorsuppliedwithyour
monitor.





IMPORTANT:Powermustbeavailableforboththetransmitterandreceiver.Useonlytheprovidedpowersupplyordamagewill
occur.DONOTusethefrontinputsandtheOverView®(rear)inputatthesametime,asseriousdamagewilloccurtothe
transmitter.However,bothoftheoutputsofthereceivermaybeusedatonetimeforsimultaneousdisplayonaTVand
OverView®monitor.Donotallowthetransmitterorreceivertogetwet.

VIII. EMISSIONSNOTIFICATIONS

ThisequipmenthasbeentestedandfoundtocomplywiththelimitsforaClassBdigitaldevice,pursuanttoPart15oftheFCCRules.
Theselimitsaredesignedtoprovidereasonableprotectionagainstharmfulinterferenceinaresidentialinstallation.Thisequipment
generatesusesandcanradiateradiofrequencyenergyand,ifnotinstalledandusedinaccordancewiththeinstructions,maycause
harmfulinterferencetoradiocommunications.However,thereisnoguaranteethatinterferencewillnotoccurinaparticular
installation.Ifthisequipmentdoescauseharmfulinterferencetoradioortelevisionreception,whichcanbedeterminedbyturning
theequipmentoffandon,theuserisencouragedtotrytocorrecttheinterferencebyoneormoreofthefollowingmeasures:
 Reorientorrelocatethereceivingantenna.
 Increasetheseparationbetweentheequipmentandreceiver.
 Connecttheequipmentintoanoutletonacircuitdifferentfromthattowhichthereceiverisconnected.
 Consultthedealeroranexperiencedradio/TVtechnicianforhelp.
InordertocomplywithFCCrulesforprotectionagainstradiofrequencyexposure,thisdevicemustbeinstalledinamannerto
provideaminimumseparationof20cm(8”)betweentheantennaandallpersons.

ChangesormodificationsnotexpresslyapprovedbyDakotaMicrocouldvoidtheuser'sauthoritytooperatetheequipment.

Canada
Thisdevicehasbeendesignedtooperatewithanantennahavingamaximumgainof15dBi.Antennashavingahighergainisstrictly
prohibitedperregulationsofIndustryCanada.Therequiredantennaimpedanceis50ohms.

Operationissubjecttothefollowingtwoconditions:(1)thisdevicemaynotcauseinterference,and(2)thisdevicemustacceptany
interference,includinginterferencethatmaycauseundesiredoperationofthedevice.

Toreducepotentialradiointerferencetootherusers,theantennatypeanditsgainshouldbesochosenthattheEquivalent
IsotropicallyRadiatedPower(EIRP)isnotmorethanthatrequiredforsuccessfulcommunication.

TheinstallerofthisradioequipmentmustensurethattheantennaislocatedorpointedsuchthatitdoesnotemitRFfieldinexcess
ofHealthCanadalimitsforthegeneralpopulation;consultSafetyCode6,obtainablefromHealthCanada’swebsitewww.hc‐
