1. General Information
1.1. General Safety Information
To ensure awareness of potential hazards, all personnel concerned with the operation or
maintenance of the equipment must study the information that follows, together with local
site regulations.
WARNING: RF Power Hazard: High levels of RF power are present in the unit.
Exposure to RF or microwave power can cause burns and may be
harmful to health. Switch off supplies before removing covers or
disconnecting any RF cables, and before inspecting damaged cables or
antennas.
WARNING: Avoid standing in front of high gain antennas (such as a dish) and never
look into the open end of a waveguide or cable where RF power may
be present.
CAUTION: We strongly recommended that you return any equipment requiring RF
servicing to Vislink.
WARNING- GaAs / BeO Hazard: Certain components inside the equipment contain
Gallium Arsenide and Beryllium Oxide that are toxic substances. Whilst
safe to handle under normal circumstances, individual components
must not be cut, broken apart, incinerated or chemically processed. In
the case of Beryllium Oxide, a white ceramic material, the principal
hazard is from the dust or fumes, which are carcinogenic if ingested,
inhaled or entering damaged skin.
Please consult your local authority before disposing of these components.
CAUTION: Tantalum Capacitors: When subjected to reverse or excess forward
voltage, ripple current or temperature these components may rupture
and could potentially cause personal injury.
CAUTION: This system contains MOS devices. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
precautions should be employed to prevent accidental damage.
1.2. Disposal Instructions
WARNING: DO NOT incinerate batteries. Exposing batteries to naked flames or
extreme heat sources can cause them to rupture or explode.
DO NOT dispose of any of the supplied equipment as household waste. The supplied
equipment is not biodegradable in landfill sites. For safe disposal of the supplied equipment,
take it to your local (council/authority) environmental waste site. For details, contact your
local authority/recycling center.
NOTE: In Europe dispose of all equipment in accordance with the European
Environmental directive.
1.3. Environmental
CAUTION: The unit is IPxx rated and must be protected from dripping or splashing
water/fluids. When used outdoors, protect the unit using a rain cover.

1.4. Health & Safety
Exposure to Non-Ionizing (RF) Radiation/Safe Working Distances
The safe working distance from a transmitting antenna may be calculated from the
relationship:
D =
in which D = safe working distance (meters)
PT = transmitter or combiner power output (watts)
GR = antenna gain ratio = anti log (gain dBi ÷10)
w = Maximum allowed power density (watts/square meter)
The RF power density value is determined by reference to safety guidelines for exposure
of the human body to non-ionizing radiation. It is important to note that the guidelines
adopted differ throughout the world and are from time-to-time re-issued with revised
guidelines. For Vislink use, when calculating minimum safe working distances, apply a
maximum power density limit (w) of 1w/m². Appendix A refers.
WARNING: Any transmitting equipment, radiating power at frequencies of 100 kHz
and higher, has the potential to produce thermal and athermal effects
upon the human body.
To be safe:
a. Operators should not stand or walk in front of any antenna, nor should they
allow anyone else to do so.
b. Operators should not operate any RF transmitter or power amplifier with any of
its covers removed, nor should they allow anyone else to do so.

1.5. Maximum RF Power Density Limits
The RF Radiation Power Density limit figure recommended by Vislink is based upon
guideline levels published in:
a. IEEE standard C95.1 1999 - IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with respect to
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
b. Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-varying Electric, Magnetic &
Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300 GHz) published in 1998 by the Secretariat of
the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
Both documents define guideline RF power density limits for "Controlled" and
"Uncontrolled" environments. An uncontrolled environment is defined as one in which the
person subjected to the RF radiation may be unaware of and has no control over the
radiation energy received. The uncontrolled environment conditions can arise, even in the
best-regulated operations and for this reason, the limits defined for the uncontrolled
environment have been assumed for the Vislink recommended limit.
Documents a) and b) also show the RF power density guidelines to be frequency-
dependent. Different power density/frequency characteristics are presented in the two
documents. To avoid complexity and to avoid areas of uncertainty, Vislink recommends
the use of a single power density limit across the frequency range of 100 kHz to 300 GHz.
The 1w/m² power density limit we recommend satisfies the most stringent of the guidelines
published to date.
NOTE: The IICNIRP document is freely available for download from the internet at
www.icnirp.de/emfgdl (PDF file) the IEEE standard is available on loan from
Essex County Library on payment of a search fee.

2. Introduction
2.1. DragonFly Description
The DragonFly transmitter is a miniature wireless video transmission system designed to
capture real-time, high-quality video from Point of View Cameras, UAV/UGV/Body
Cams/Concealments and static sports cameras for display on fixed or mobile applications.
The transmitter features HD/SD-SDI or optional HDMI inputs with COFDM transmission in a
small, lightweight chassis. The IMTDragonFly delivers up to 50mW of power in a package
weighing less than 1.2 grams/34 grams, providing long-range, reliable HD video
transmission. Perfect for the most demanding portable and drone-based applications.
The IMTDragonFly is a compelling choice when broadcast quality, exceptional range, and
reliability are required. IMT’s COFDM technology ensures the transmission of uninterrupted,
live TV pictures over long ranges, despite the effects of foliage, challenging terrain,
buildings, and other common non-line-of-sight limitations. This gives it a significant
advantage over uncompressed solutions.
An additional benefit of the IMTDragonFly compared to alternative solutions is the ability
to operate at latency levels as low as 70ms, making it well-suited for remote control
applications.
The DragonFly was designed with a compact size and weight form factor and minimized
power requirements, making it ideal for drone use. IMTDragonFly has an HD-SDI input for
a high-quality camera interface. IMT has also developed a new antenna design customized
specifically for use with micro drones.
The DragonFly may be configured or remotely controlled by the built-in Wi-Fi web server.
An Android or iOS device will see the IMTDragonFly and automatically open the control
browser. Optionally, a 900MHz transceiver enabling processing of in-flight commands
including camera control or gimbal manipulation.

3.7.2. Physical Installation OEM DragonFly Board Model Kit
The OEM DragonFly Board Kit differs from the chassis model tremendously. The chassis
model is modular and is recommended for most applications. The Board model should be
used only when the DragonFly needed to be embedded in the system because of space or
when there is no other choice. There are two main reasons for this:
1) The RF sections must be isolated from each other for the unit to work correctly.
2) The high density of the part placement and the size constraints of the boards do
not make it conducive to easy design implementation.
Installation and Design Instructions
NOTES: Refer to the .stp files for exact measurements.
1) Design installation locations
a. The boards are stacked upon one another using a specifically design ledge
and a board to board connector.
b. The DF cavity design should follow the .stp files with regards to the RF
isolation, RF Board screw placements, the ledge and screw placements for
the encoder board, and the cover.
c. Using CAD design tools –design the chassis or the cavity placement for the
DF according to the .stp files.
d. The Wi-Fi antenna must not be covered by metal if you are using this
method for configuration
2) Install the RF Board
a. Install the heatsink pad on Analog Devices IC as shown in the figure below.
b. Place the RF board in the cavity with the RF isolation on the bottom
c. Fasten to cavity using the 11 M1 screws provided in the kit.
3) Install the Encoder board.
a. Stack the encoder board on top of the RF board to align the board-to-board
connectors
b. Gently push the boards together so the edges push to the ledge and the
board-to-board connector fully engages.
c. The Encoder board is held in place by the lid.
4) Lid Placement
a. Gently place the lid on top, compressing the encoder board down.
b. Fasten the lid in place using the 8 0-80 screws provided.
5) Place the thermal pad to align the through-holes with pattern in the DragonFly.
6) Make or purchase cables need to run DragonFly. Cable that may need to be made:
a. Power and RS 232 serial cable

b. SDI cable –A SDI to BNC cable is supplied in the kit –however, a custom
one may be bought or made depending on needs.
c. Camera control –A 20-inch cable is supplied with the mating connector of
the CC connector. The other end is bare tinned leads and may be used to
attach directly to the camera or interface connectors that go to the camera.
d. Antenna extension cable –purchased or made.
