2 Safety Notes

The camera corresponds to the directive for electro-
magnetic compatibility 89/336/EEC.
Do not operate the camera in areas of extreme
temperatures (admissible ambient temperature
range -10 °C to +55 °C).
For cleaning the housing never use aggressive
detergents or chemicals.
No guarantee claims for the camera and no liability
for any resulting personal damage or material
damage will be accepted if the camera is used for
other purposes than originally intended, if it is not
correctly connected, operated, or not repaired in an
expert way.
If the camera is to be put out of operation
definitively, take it to a local recycling
plant for a disposal which is not harmful to
the environment.
3 Applications
In combination with a 2.4 GHz receiver of the
AV-... series from MONACOR and a monitor, the wire-
less cameras AV-3031COL (colour camera) and
AV-30...CCD (black-and-white cameras) serve for
wireless video surveillance. The transmission range
largely depends on the local conditions and the re-
ceiver used. Without any obstacles between the
camera and the receiver, the maximum range may be
500 m. In buildings, however, it is reduced to approx.
50 m by walls and ceilings, depending on their condi-
tion. The range can be increased several times over,
however, by using an antenna with gain on the re-
ceiver.
The camera is placed in a weatherproof housing
and is thus ideally suited for outdoor applications
(protection class of housing IP 65).

3.1 Approval
According to the R + TTE regulation (Radio and Tele-
communication Technical Equipment), the approval
for the wireless camera is valid in the countries of the
European Union. For operation outside the EU,
please contact your retailer or the MONACOR sub-
sidiary in the country where this unit will be operated.
4 Operation
4.1 Adjusting the transmission channel
The wireless transmission is made in the 2.4 GHz
range which has been divided into five channels with
a distance of 14 MHz for this camera series. As a
maximum, three channels can be used simulta-
neously (channels 1, 3, and 5) as two adjacent chan-
nels will interfere with each other. If two channels are
required, several combinations are possible:
channel 1 with channel 3, 4, or 5
channel 2 with channel 4 or 5
channel 3 with channel 5
The different camera models are factory-set to the fol-
lowing channels:
AV-3031COL channel 1 (2.4145 GHz)
AV-3031CCD channel 1 (2.4145 GHz)
AV-3033CCD channel 3 (2.4425 GHz)
AV-3035CCD channel 5 (2.4705 GHz)
If required, the channel adjustment can be modified.
For this purpose, remove the sunshield (5) first.
Caution: Do not tear off the antenna cable! Unscrew
the housing cover (8) on the rear side (four screws).
Carefully pull out the cover with the mounting slide
(fig. 2) without tearing off any leads. Adjust the chan-
nel on the transmitting module by means of the DIP
switches (6):
ON ON
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Channel 1 Channel 2 Channel 3
When assembling, ensure a tight fit of all sealings to
make the housing weatherproof again. The two seal-
ing rings (7) will easily get lost.
4.2 Transmitting antenna
Screw the supplied omnidirectional antenna (3) into
the threaded jack of the weatherproof camera hous-
ing (see fig. 1).
4.3 Placing the camera and the receiver
Practical experience has shown that an optimum re-
ception is achieved when placing the units at a mini-
mum height of 1.5 to 2 m above the ground. Prior to
final mounting, a trial run is recommended as the
transmission quality may substantially change when
displacing the units by a few centimetres only.
Mount the supplied camera bracket (2) at a suit-
able location and screw on the camera (see fig. 1).
After setting the camera into operation, precisely
adjust it to the area to be monitored. For this purpose,
