Interface Definition

Interface diagram

The interface of the device adopts J30J-15PIN, with 1 power supply, 1 network port, 1 RS232/TTL, and 1 RS232/TTL/SBUS.

Interface definition

Note 1: Signal direction I indicate radio input and direction O shows radio output.

Note 2: Serial port 1 can be used only with RS232/TTL, PIN10,11,15. Delivery is determined by the hardware. Note 3: Serial port 2 can be used as RS232/TTL/SBUS. The factory is determined by hardware. TTL and SBUS can be switched by software.

Note 4: When serial port 2 uses one SBUS, PIN9,13,14 is used at the ground end. Use PIN12,14 for the sky end. Note 5: If two SBUS are required, configure pin12->pin12 for the sky SBUS mapping. pin13->pin13.

Description of the product status indicator

PWR（green light）
The device is powered on, and the PWR keeps on.
LAN（green light）
The network port indicator blinks when data is being sent
or received。
STS（Four-colour light）
Different colored lights indicate the current signal quality.

When the primary and secondary devices are not synchronized, the power PWR indicator of the primary and secondary devices is steady on, and the STS blue indicator of the primary device is always on. The blue light from the device’s STS flashes. When the master and slave are synchronized, the master and slave’s STS light becomes a

three-color light, and the green light is displayed if the signal quality is good. A yellow

light indicates moderate communication quality. A red light indicates poor communication quality. When the network port is sending or receiving data, the LAN indicators of the primary and secondary devices blink.

FAQ

Q: I’m searching for a wireless video telemetry system, including both ground and air units, that can transmit and receive over a 22km distance, using a 2-watt PA.
A: Yes. This upgraded model is specifically designed for long-range wireless video telemetry applications and includes both airborne and ground units. While the previous version supported up to 22 km, the latest optimized version, equipped with a 2W power amplifier (PA), can now achieve transmission distances of up to 30 km under optimal conditions.

The performance improvement comes from enhancements to the system’s core communication technology, resulting in:

• Greater transmission efficiency
• Improved signal stability over long distances
• Better overall link reliability

Please note that actual range may vary depending on factors such as terrain, line-of-sight conditions, and the surrounding electromagnetic environment.

Q: Why do both the 5W and 10W PA versions have the same rated range of 55 km?
A: The maximum transmission range is intentionally capped at 55 km due to limitations set within the core communication module, ensuring stable and reliable performance.

While the 10W version delivers significantly higher signal strength compared to the 5W version, this additional power does not extend the nominal range. Instead, it provides improved signal robustness and better resistance to interference.

In practice, the 10W option is better suited for environments with:

• High levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• Signal congestion or complex RF conditions
• Potential counter-drone or signal suppression systems

Ultimately, the choice between 5W and 10W depends on your operating environment. If you expect a relatively clean signal environment, 5W is typically sufficient. For more challenging or unpredictable conditions, 10W offers greater stability and reliability.
