1 DJI PHANTOM / 5.8gHz AV Tx install guide – Phantom Upgrade Board 1. Cut the 3.5mm AV jack approx. 23cm from connection. *Refer pic 1 2. Expose the bare copper ground wire & yellow video wire roughly 1.5cm in length. * Refer pic 1 3. Using the “video out” (Brown, Red & Yellow) cable that was supplied with the Phantom Upgrade board, expose the Brown (ground) & Yellow (Video) wires roughly 1.5cm in length at the bare end of the cable opposite end to connector. Bend the Red (Active) cable back out of the way and keep out of the way with electrical tape. *Refer to pic 2 *Red (Active) is not required when using the DJI 5.8gHz Av system. 4. Cut the deans connector off of the DJI 5.8gHz AV system and expose the two wires roughly 0.5cm in length. Clearly identify which is “active” & which is “ground”. Ground will be identified as the cable that has a grey stripe running the length of the cable. Active will be the solid black cable. *Refer pic 3 5. Feed both the power cable and the Video/Ground cable of the DJI 5.8gHz system into one of the entry holes at the rear and underneath the Phantom Shell. It will be a tight fit but it is possible. Pull the wires through until the junction box of the wire is at the base of the entry hole. *Refer pic 4 6. Having identified the correct “active” (+) & “ground” () wires of the 5.8gHz power system, solder the “ground” wire to the ground port of, for example, ESC number 3. Then solder the “active” wire to the “active” port of, for example, ESC number 4. We do this to share the load of drawing additional power from just one ESC. *Refer pic 5 7. To connect the AV signal out of the Phantom upgrade board to the AV signal of the 5.8gHz system you will need to join the Yellow cable of the 5.8gHz to the Yellow cable of the AV out from upgrade board. The same is to be carried out with the Brown and exposed cable of both the upgrade and 5.8gHz cables. You can twist the same wires together, as referenced in pic 6 & 7, and then apply solder to the joined cables to ensure a strong connection. Ensure that the “ground” & “video” cables are separated clearly and that they cannot come in contact with one another after the Phantom is reassembled. Use heat shrink or electrical tape to ensure separation. *If ground or video wires touch at any time during flight video signal will be lost, & if flying FPV that is the last thing you want or need. **Refer pic 6 &7 8. Plug the 5.8gHz cable into the back of Tx unit (refer to instruction manual), connect gopro to Zenmuse H32D Gimbal and power up Phantom. Have FPV screen/goggles connected to 5.8gHz Rx system and check for video signal. *Ensure you have correctly installed all components.

DJI  PHANTOM  /  5.8gHz  AV  Tx  install  guide  –  Phantom  Upgrade  Board  

1. Cut  the  3.5mm  AV  jack  approx.  2-­‐3cm  from  connection.  *Refer  pic  1                                  

2. Expose  the  bare  copper  ground  wire  &  yellow  video  wire  roughly  1.5cm  in  length.  *  Refer  pic  1                  

3. Using  the  “video  out”  (Brown,  Red  &  Yellow)  cable  that  was  supplied  with  the  Phantom  Upgrade  board,  expose  the  Brown  (ground)  &  Yellow  (Video)  wires  roughly  1.5cm  in  length  at  the  bare  end  of  the  cable  opposite  end  to  connector.    Bend  the  Red  (Active)  cable  back  out  of  the  way  and  keep  out  of  the  way  with  electrical  tape.  *Refer  to  pic  2     *Red  (Active)  is  not  required  when  using  the  DJI  5.8gHz  Av  system.        

4.  Cut  the  deans  connector  off  of  the  DJI  5.8gHz    AV  system  and  expose  the  two  wires  roughly  0.5cm  in  length.  Clearly  identify  which  is  “active”  &  which  is  “ground”.    Ground  will  be  identified  as  the  cable  that  has  a  grey  stripe  running  the  length  of  the  cable.    Active  will  be  the  solid  black  cable.  *Refer  pic  3                      

5. Feed  both  the  power  cable  and  the  Video/Ground  cable  of  the  DJI  5.8gHz  system  into  one  of  the  entry  holes  at  the  rear  and  underneath  the  Phantom  Shell.    It  will  be  a  tight  fit  but  it  is  possible.  Pull  the  wires  through  until  the  junction  box  of  the  wire  is  at  the  base  of  the  entry  hole.    *Refer  pic  4                      

6. Having  identified  the  correct  “active”  (+)  &  “ground”  (-­‐)  wires  of  the  5.8gHz  power  system,  solder  the  “ground”  wire  to  the  ground  port  of,  for  example,  ESC  number  3.    Then  solder  the  “active”  wire  to  the  “active”  port  of,  for  example,  ESC  number  4.    We  do  this  to  share  the  load  of  drawing  additional  power  from  just  one  ESC.    *Refer  pic  5            

7. To  connect  the  AV  signal  out  of  the  Phantom  upgrade  board  to  the  AV  signal  of  the  5.8gHz  system  you  will  need  to  join  the  Yellow  cable  of  the  5.8gHz  to  the  Yellow  cable  of  the  AV  out  from  upgrade  board.    The  same  is  to  be  carried  out  with  the  Brown  and  exposed  cable  of  both  the  upgrade  and  5.8gHz  cables.    You  can  twist  the  same  wires  together,  as  referenced  in  pic  6  &  7,  and  then  apply  solder  to  the  joined  cables  to  ensure  a  strong  connection.    Ensure  that  the  “ground”  &  “video”  cables  are  separated  clearly  and  that  they  cannot  come  in  contact  with  one  another  after  the  Phantom  is  reassembled.      Use  heat  shrink  or  electrical  tape  to  ensure  separation.    *If  ground  or  video  wires  touch  at  any  time  during  flight  video  signal  will  be  lost,  &  if  flying  FPV  that  is  the  last  thing  you  want  or  need.    **Refer  pic  6   &  7                  

8. Plug  the  5.8gHz  cable  into  the  back  of  Tx  unit  (refer  to  instruction  manual),  connect  gopro  to  Zenmuse  H3-­‐2D  Gimbal  and  power  up  Phantom.    Have  FPV  screen/goggles  connected  to  5.8gHz  Rx  system  and  check  for  video  signal.  *Ensure  you  have  correctly  installed  all  components.

Pic  1.  Cut  3.5mm  jack  connection  &  expose  “ground”  &  “video”  wires  of  5.8gHz.  

Pic  2.  Expose  the  “ground”  &  “video”  wires  from  AV  out  of  Phantom  upgrade  board.  Tape  “active”  out  of  the  way.  

Pic  3.  Cut  Deans  connector  off  &  expose  both  wires.  Black/grey  cable  is  “ground”  &  solid  black  cable  is  “Active”.    

Pic  4.    Feed  5.8gHz  cable  into  Phantom  shell  from  below.    Pull  wires  until  junction  box  is  at  base  of  hole.

Pic  5.  Solder  the  “ground”  (black/grey  cable)  to  the  “GND”  port  Phantom  of  ESC,  &  solder  the  “active”  (black  cable)  to  the  “VCC”  port  of  a  different  Phantom  ESC.    *Triple  check  that  you  are  soldering  to  the  correct  ports,  wiring  to  the  wrong  signal  will  reverse  the  polarity  and  burn  out  the  upgrade  board.

Pic  6.  Connect  “Video”  signal  from  Upgrade  board  &  5.8gHz  system.    Repeat  with  “Ground”  wires.      

Pic  7.    Carefully  apply  solder  to  joints  &  ensure  separation  of  Video  &  Ground  wires.  Use  either  heat  shrink  or  electrical  tape  to  ensure  separation  between  connections.
