INTRODUCTION

This Receiver Kit is compatible with all Evolution

TIC Transmitters. For best video performance with

the Evolution 5000 series transmitter, connect the

included video adapter/attenuator to the Evolution

5000 video-out jack; then, connect the Evolution

5000 series transmitter to the adapter.

The channel settings on this receiver have been

set to correspond with the Evolution 5000 external

transmitter. If using another MSA TIC with an

internal transmitter (i.e., Evolution 4000 or 3000), it

may be necessary to reverse the channel settings

(e.g., transmit on channel 1 while receiving on

channel 2) in order to ensure full compatibility.

This manual addresses the features, benefits,

specifications, and operational instructions for both

receiver kits. Additional information/instructions for

the optional telemetry system can be found in the

following documentation:

• Evolution 3000 TIC Operation and Instruction

Manual (P/N 10023654)

• Evolution 4000 TIC Operation and Instruction

Manual (P/N 10015940)

• Evolution 5000 Transmitter Instruction Manual

(P/N 10048454).

APPLICATIONS

The Remote Wireless Receiver System is to be

used in conjunction with the wireless transmitters

available for the Evolution 3000, Evolution 4000,

or Evolution 5000 Thermal Imaging Cameras

(TICs) to remotely display the images generated

by the Evolution TIC. Many applications exist for a

remote transmission and reception system,

including training, scene monitoring, and

event recording.

FEATURES

• Two user-selectable channels

(2458 MHz and 2474 MHz)

• Dual voltage input (110 VAC or 12 VDC)

• Omni-directional Antenna

• Video output connector

• Compatibility with all Evolution

TIC transmitters.

SETUP/USE

The Deluxe Receiver Kit consists of a receiver

module and 15.4-inch LCD mounted in a hard-

sided carrying case. The kit also contains an

antenna, coaxial video cable, charger, attenuator,

and cables. The following guidelines describe its

basic setup and use.

• Connect the antenna to the Receiver Kit.

Locate the antenna as close as possible to

the transmitting TIC. For best reception,

position the antenna with the tip pointed

upward. Avoid as many obstructions between

the antenna and the TIC as possible.

• A turn-ON procedure is provided for optimal

performance. Turn the receiver kit “ON”

• Turn ON any of the Evolution 3000, 4000 or

5000 series transmitters mentioned previously.

• Confirm the receiver signal indicator light is

green. If the LED is not green, confirm the

receiver and transmitter are on the correct

channels.

• If OFF, turn on the LCD Screen by pushing

the power button located on the lower left of

the LCD Screen. Confirm the LCD Display

buttons light up blue. After a short delay (few

seconds), the image appears on the screen.

• The Deluxe Receiver Kit can be powered

from three possible sources.

• The internal sealed lead-acid battery

• An external 120 VAC source. The

supplied charger can simultaneously

charge the battery and power the

Receiver Kit

• Vehicle power. External or Vehicular

power operation is accomplished by

connecting a vehicular power cord to the

unit and setting the front panel power

switch to the "OFF/DC" position. The unit

runs automatically from a 12 volt

vehicular power supply.

• Channel selection is accomplished using the

two-position rocker switch on the front panel.

• To verify correct receiver unit operation, turn

ON an Evolution TIC and its transmitter.

Verify the same image appears on the TIC

and the LCD of the receiver unit.

• When the unit is turned ON, a green LED

should be lit on the base of the receiver unit,

and the LCD should be ON and showing

static until a transmitter is turned ON.

• To change the channel of the Receiver, toggle

the switch between "1" and "2".

• To verify correct receiver unit operation, turn

ON an Evolution TIC and its transmitter.

Verify that the same image appears on the

TIC and the LCD of the receiver unit.

Prior to deploying the TIC, it is important to verify

that the transmitter contained in the Evolution TIC

and the receiver units are synchronized to the

same transmitting frequency. Also, verify that the

Evolution TIC has fully charged batteries. Low

battery power can result in transmission power

loss, and degrade the resulting image seen with

the Receiver Kit.

DELUXE RECEIVER KIT

EXTERNAL OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

The receiver unit features a video output jack. The

jack is a BNC-style connector that can be used to

connect the receiver output to video monitors or

VCRs. Adapter plugs are provided to convert the

BNC connection to RCA-style connections that are

required for common video equipment. The

receiver simultaneously provides output to the

internal 15.4-inch display and the output jack.

DISPLAY

The 15.4 inch display is an LCD type unit which

includes brightness and contrast controls in the

panel at the bottom of the screen. See the

supplied operator’s manual for the complete

description and features.

SETUP/USE

The Mini Receiver Kit consists of a receiver

module packaged in a soft-sided carrying case.

The kit also contains an antenna, coaxial video

cable, and power supply cables. The following

guidelines describe its basic setup and use.

• In order to see the image seen by the remote

camera and transmitter, a display monitor

must be connected to the mini receiver. The

monitor is not supplied in this kit. Most

standard TV monitors or TV/VCR

combinations can be used.

• Connect the antenna to the connector on the

receiver unit.

• Connect the monitor to the receiver unit using

the supplied video cable.

• Connect the receiver module to power

using the 110 VAC cable or the

12 VDC car adapter.

• A red LED on the receiver module lights when

the unit is properly powered.

Prior to deploying the TIC, it is important to verify

that the transmitter and the receiver units are

synchronized to the same transmitting frequency.

Also, verify that the Evolution TIC Transmitter has

fully charged batteries. Low battery power can

result in transmission power loss, and degrade the

resulting image seen with the receiver kit.

EXTERNAL OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

The receiver unit features two video output jacks.

The jacks are BNC-style connectors that can be

used to connect the receiver output to video

monitors or VCRs. Adapter plugs are provided to

convert the BNC connection to RCA style

connections that are required for common video

equipment. The receiver simultaneously provides

output to the internal 12-inch display and the

output jacks.

Figure 5.

MINI RECEIVER KIT

Figure 4.

After each use, clean all receiver components

(display unit, cables, connections, and antenna) by

wiping with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Inspect all

connector terminals, cables and components for

dirt or water damage, chemical damage, cracks

and breaks. Replace all damaged components

immediately to ensure proper system function.

If the display does not function, check to see if the

battery has a charge. If the battery is dead, the

unit can be run from the 120 VAC charger or from

a 12 VDC vehicle power supply.

If the Evolution TIC unit is not transmitting, the

normal image on the display should be solid blue.

While operating the Evolution TIC and receiver

the antenna cable must be connected to the

receiving unit. If the image on the display is

rolling and erratic, it is typically a sign that the

Evolution TIC transmitter and receiver are not set

to the same channel/ frequency.

• This can easily be verified by leaving

the Evolution TIC unit set in its current

position and changing the channel switch

on the receiver unit. If this worsens the

situation, restore the receiver channel to its

original setting.

• Other sources of interference, such as large

metal objects within the line of sight with the

transmitter, electrical machinery, microwave

ovens, or other transmitters operating at

nearby frequencies could affect the receiving

station. To improve image quality, reorient the

receiving antenna and/or relocate the

receiving station relative to the transmitter

and interfering objects.

If the image continues to be erratic and the

transmission range on the Evolution 5000 series

transmitter seems to be very short, verify that the

video adapter/attenuator is installed on the video-

out jack on the camera before connecting the

video transmitter.
