Notes: Improper operation of ST5/10/20NPT may cause personal injury or damage to properties to some

extent. Pay attention to operation safety.

II. Interface

Remark: The TX and RX have same interface specifications, All references are given above.

1. Indicator

After connecting the interface according to the above diagram, turn on the power. When the device begin

to work, the signal lights flashing state is described as follows:

3rd

1After power on, light 1,2,3 turn green, light 6 turns blue and light 8 turns red.

2After 1 second, light 1,2,3,6 start flashing. And light 5 and 8 are normally on.

3After a few seconds, the start is complete. Light 1(Green), 2(Green), 3(Green), 5(Green), 6(blue),

4(Red), 8(Red) are normally on. Light 7 will fast blink.

Remark：Light1, 2, 3 are indicator for signal strength.

4Light 1 on: Signal Weak

5Light 1,2 on: Signal Normal

6Light 1,2,3 on: Signal Strong

7When green light 1,2,3 repeatedly flash in sequence: No connection. The connection between TX

and RX is failed

III. Precautions for integration

1. Be sure to use the parts provided by SUNTOR.

2. Install the antenna before power on to avoid damage to circuits.

3. Given that the carbon fiber body and metal load may have shielding effects on antenna signals, they

should not be installed between the antenna and ground terminal. Keep the antenna of the on board

terminal free from winding or blocking by obstacles. The antenna end should be vertically downward

without bending, to prevent shortening of the communication distance and failure in communication

as a result of blocking.

4. The antennas of the onboard terminal should be separated from each other to achieve good

anti-jamming effects. It should be kept far away from antennas of other onboard radio transmitters, as

huge electromagnetic noise and interference may be caused between various radio antennas, which

will seriously shorten the communication distance, reduce the reliability of communication and even

cause failure in communication. It is recommended to use the functions of SUNTOR product, i.e. image

transmission and RS232 two-way serial port communication to minimize the quantity of onboard radio

devices.

5. Use the antenna of specified type, and properly install it. It is prohibited to use antennas of other

types.

6. Do not disassemble or modify SUNTOR ST5/10/20NPT. Any problem during installation, contact

SUNTOR or the sales agent.

7. Keep appropriate distances between electronic devices during installation to minimize electromagnetic

interference.

IV. Precautions When Powering On

8. Before using, make sure that all cables are secure and reliably and all components can work properly.

9. After starting the product, check it for proper operation by observing whether the self-test indicator of

ST5/10/20NPT is continuously ON for 30s and then flicker and whether the image of the camera is

shown on the ground terminal.

10. Check the surrounding environment for to ensure there is no other 2.4GHz devices to cause

interference. If use the Futaba remote controller, the controller should be adjusted into the French

mode. Otherwise, the video transmission performance of ST5/10/20NPT may be serious affected and

also the Futaba transceiver may be in the abnormal status and accidents may be caused.

11. Remark: How to adjust the Futaba controller into French mode:

[LINKAGE MENU]→FRQUENCY→ RTN b→ [AREA]→[FRANCE]

12. Before use, check the electric quantity of the ground terminal. If the ground terminal is OFF, the

built-in radio receiver of the onboard terminal will be out-of-control.

13. Pay attention to the angle and direction of the antenna of the ground terminal during flight. In case of

poor signal or image quality, adjusting the inclination of the antenna of the ground terminal can

improve the signal or image effect.

14. The camera should be fully charged to ensure normal video output.

15. ST5/10/20NPT has the functions of two-way communication of image data and serial port data. If the

transmitted ground image is stuck or stopped for more than 10s but less than 30s, it means that the

radio channel signal is weakened or the radio channel is narrowed. In this case, the aircraft must not fly

farther away from the ground. In order to ensure the normal communication of serial data and the

safety of the aircraft, the distance between the aircraft and ground terminal should be immediately

shortened. Otherwise, the built-in radio receiver of the onboard terminal will be out-of-control.

16. 8. If required, purchase electronic devices (such as HD displays, Network cables, etc.) with good

electromagnetic shielding effects.

VII. Antenna Installation

1. Multi-rotor UAV

1) To select the original antenna and the SMA metal shielded semi-flexible blue feeder cable provided by

SUNTOR. The feeder cable is used to connect the TX SMA port and the antenna.

2) The antenna needs to be mounted vertically downwards, and it

is not recommended to mount it vertically at the top of the UAV.

3) The best installation location is the UAV ground bracket. With

the antenna inside the bracket can only use fiberglass material.

4) If the ground bracket is automatically retracted, the antenna can

be installed in the lower part of the aircraft, and the ground RX

antenna is recommended to use same antenna with TX( 29cm

length antenna).

5) If the antenna is intercepted by the camera or pod or the loudspeaker, the video on RX will appear

image stuck or mosaic and It is recommended to immediately adjust the flight attitude and angle.

2. Fixed Wing UAV

SMA Feeder Cable

8th

1) To select the original antenna and the SMA metal shielded semi-flexible blue feeder cable provided by

SUNTOR. The feeder cable is used to connect the TX SMA port and the antenna.

2) The antenna needs to be mounted vertically downwards, and it is not recommended to mount it

vertically at the top of the UAV.

3) It is recommended to use 29cm long antenna. The best installation position is the center of the UAV tail,

prominent outside the body and vertical downward.

4) The second optional mounting position is located below the wing and body joints, vertical down, as far

as possible away from the wing but near the machine abdomen, protruding below the abdomen level.

VIII. Software Operation

1. Start Connecting Tdd-cofdm equipment

First, enter the IP address，Next click Connect TDD button.

2. Restart TDD-COFDM Control Panel software:click Restart TDD button.

3. RF Configuration method

9th

3. 1. TX Rate（Default：QPSK FEC 1/2）:

This setting determines the modulation type and in turn the rate at which the data is to be

wirelessly transferred. The default and recommended setting for both Master and Slave units

is ‘Auto’. When in ‘Auto’ the unit will transfer data at the highest possible rate in consideration

of the receive signal strength (RSSI).

Refer to Performance for a table breakdown of performance at selected rates. If setting a fixed

TX Rate It is recommended to retain a fade margin of at least 10 dbm for optimum performance.

For example, for a link (8MHz channel) with a signal strength of at least –75dBm, a TX rate of

16-QAM 3/4 FEC is recommended. Setting to the highest rate with a poor link may result in

reduced performance.

3.2. Channel Bandwidth（Default：4Mhz）:

Select the channel bandwidth from the list. Refer to the specifications to see the

relationship and performance between channel band, width,throughput and

sensitivity.Generally a larger channel has greater throughput, at the cost of sensitivity,

while a smaller channel tends to be more robust, but at the cost of throughput.

3.3. Channel-Frequency（Default：2479Mhz）:

2402 - 2482 (1MHz BW, CH 1-81)

2402 - 2482 (2MHz BW, CH 1-81)

2405 - 2479 (4MHz BW, CH 4-78)

2407 - 2477 (8MHz BW, CH 6-76)

3.4. Wireless Distance（Default：10km）:

The Wireless Distance parameter allows a user to set the expected distance the

wireless signal needs to travel. The TDD-COFDM sets various internal timeouts to

account for this travel time. Longer distances will require a higher setting, and

shorter distances may perform better if the setting is reduced.

10th

3.5. RX TX Mode:

TX Master - A Master may provide a wireless data connection to many slaves

RX Slave- A Salve may sustain one wireless connection,i.e. to an Master.

3.6. TX Power（Default：30dbm）:

This setting establishes the transmit power level which will be presented to the

antenna connector of the TDD_COFDM.Unless required, the Tx Power should be

set not for maximum, but rather for the minimum value required to maintain an

adequate system fade margin.

4. Seria Configuration method:

4.1. Data Baud Rate（Default：115200）:

The serial baud rate is the rate at which the modem is to communicate with the

attached local asynchronous device.

921600/460800/230400/115200/57600/38400/28800/19200/14400/9600/7200/4

800/3600/2400/1200/600/300.
