4. How to Connect the RF Modulator?

4.1 Connecting AV Devices to the RF Modulator

Connect AV Devices with Composite Audio Video outputs directly into the A, B or C

inputs on the BPAVM3. All 3 AV inputs can be utilised at the same time.

The RF Output can be connected directly to a Display (TV) with an RF input.

Alternatively, the RF Output can be fed into a distribution system as shown below.

*EXAMPLEONLY–THEREAREMANY

OTHERSYSTEMCONFIGURATIONS*

Important: Please ensure the BPAVM3 is disconnected from the power when being

installed. Turn the power on once all connections have been done.

Note: To adjust the output level of the RF

Modulator please refer to the back of the

unit. The level adjusting pot is situated next

to the RF output. Turn this up to

half way and tune the displays according to

their instructions.

The displays will automatically or can be

manually tuned to find the new modulated

channels. The Audio Video signal level can

be adjusted accordingly.

4.2 Connecting Security Cameras to the RF Modulator

Connect Security Cameras with Composite Video outputs directly into the A, B or C

inputs on the BPAVM3. All 3 AV inputs can be utilised at the same time.

The RF Output can be connected directly to a Display (TV) with an RF input.

Alternatively, the RF Output can be fed into a distribution system as shown below.

*EXAMPLEONLY–THEREAREMANY

OTHERSYSTEMCONFIGURATIONS*

Examples of suitable Composite AV Devices: Pay TV Box, HDD/DVD Recorder, VHS

Recorder, DVD Player, Digital Set Top Box, Satellite Receiver, Camcorder, Security

Cameras, Hi-Fi System, Laser Disc Player, PC’s with AV Outputs etc.

Note: To adjust the output level of the RF

Modulator please refer to the back of the

unit. The level adjusting pot is situated next

to the RF output. Turn this up to

half way and tune the displays according to

their instructions.

The displays will automatically or can be

manually tuned to find the new modulated

channels. The Audio Video signal level can

5. Operations

5.1 Turn on the RF Modulators Power

Once all AV & RF connections have been done and the RF Modulator has been connected

to the system correctly, the power to the RF Modulator can be turned on. The AV devices

and all displays can be turned on.

5.2 Adjusting the RF Modulator

1. Press the mode key to select the RF Modulators AV input A. The LED indicator for AV

input device A is lit up. The channel number is shown on the channel display.

2. Use the up and down key to select the desired channel. (The last channel selected

will be stored in the memory, even if the power goes out.)

3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the other two AV input devices B and C for channel selection.

4. Ensure each display (TV) has been tuned into the correct AV devices RF Channel on

the RF Modulator.

6. Troubleshooting

Please read this instruction manual carefully before using the AV system. If you still have

difficulties using the RF Modulator, please refer to the following, which will guide you on

how to solve most common problems.

1. No image or sound

a) Make sure the power switch is in the “ON” position. (Check AV devices/Displays)

b) Check the connections, to ensure all of the connectors and plugs are in the

correct input/output. (e.g. Yellow Video RCA Output to Yellow Video RCA Input)

c) Make sure the RF Modulator and the display (TV) are on the same channel.

2. Interruptions in image and sound

a) Make sure the RF Modulator and the display (TV) are using a free channel.

b) Shorten the signal transmission medium between the RF Modulator and Display

(TV). If possible keep the coaxial cable away from other cables, especially mains

wiring to avoid interference.

c) Please allow 2 channel spacing to inhibit interference for channel selection, it is

preferred that a channel higher or lower be skipped between A, B or C inputs.

This is to avoid co-channel interference. Example: RF Channel 23 is AV device

input A, for AV device input B, the channels 22 and 24 must be skipped. So

channels 21 or 25 would be the correct channels to use.

If you experience difficulties in installing, setting or using the camera, consult the

dealer or an experienced RF/TV technician for help.
