When the unit is used consistant with the previous notice, it conforms to the requirements of FCC Rules and regulations, sections 1.1307 & 2.19091, as required by section 90.1217.  WARNING: Use of antennas with gain above 2.1 dBi may exceed Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits.NOTE: This device is for occupational use only. Oc-cupational users are those persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment, provided these persons are fully aware of and exercise control over their exposure
4INTRODUCTIONThe Palladium II Series of digital video trans-mitters provide exceptional video quality in high multipath environments. They are ideal for use inside buildings, in urban areas, and in other applications where multipath would normally cause video tearing or breakup.All Palladium II Series transmitters are designed for spectrum-efficient 2.5 MHz channel spacing. Approximately 400 carriers are used to transmit video and two channels of voice and data. Palladium transmitters may be located on adjacent channels without a guard band. AES 128-bit encryption ensures users of secure communications.The Palladium 5000S is a small, modular transmitter with a 5W RF power output. It’s ideal for OEM concealments and short to mid-range robotic and UAV applications. The package is only 10” x 10” x 3.625”. All connec-tions are conveniently located. The Palladium 5000S incorporates a power amplifier bring-ing total power output to 5W.

5INTRODUCTIONUsing your Palladium II TransmitterFollow the instructions given in the Quick Start section on pages 6-7. When power is first ap-plied to the Palladium, the unit reverts to the indicated channel and RF ON state. The Alarm LED may be ON, which indicates that there is no active video input.Changing your Transmitter ConfigurationThe Palladium Transmitter can store up to 8 different configurations, which can be selected with the Channel Control. The frequency channels are preprogrammed please contact your local Sales Manager for more informationTop Controls/Connectors• Multi-I/O Connector• Data Chaining & Control Connector.• Audio 2 (left) and Audio 1 (right/mono) LEMO Conn. These connectors provide the audio input connections to the transmitter. Either one or two audio inputs can be used with the Pal-ladium II Transmitter.• Frequency Channel Controller   - Fmin = 1 (2451.25 MHz)     - Fmid = 2 (2466.00 MHz)   - Fmax = 3-8 (2482.50 MHz)Bottom Controls/Connector• SMA Antenna connection
6QUICK STARTComplete these steps:1. Connect the transmitter antenna to the SMA connector on the Palladium unit (see photo right).2. Attach a 12 VDC power source (capable of 7 amp output current) to the power block (red) as shown to the right. The input voltage is 12 VDC nom.3. Connect a TTL logic source to the power block (orange) as shown to turn on the amplifier. This is the ON/OFF control for the RF amp. RF/ON = TTL1  RF/OFF = TTL04. Attach the common return of both supplies to the (black) power center block5. Attach your camera video input (75 ohm composite video source in PAL or NTSC) to the video RCA connector (see photo to the right).6. Apply the necessary power to your camera and turn ON.  15234NOTE: Palladium TX-5000A Modules feature a heat sink for proper heat dissipation. For optimal performance, do not block air flow over the fins of this heat sink.NOTE: Device is polarity sensitive. Connect DC power only as shown above; black to black (-), red to red (+).WARNING: Do not connect the antenna without a suitable 50 ohm load attached. The maxi-mum safe operating distance, antenna to human body must be 30cm.
