4. Інструкція з експлуатації
Once installed and powered, the RunCam Nano 4 will automatically output video. No complex configuration is typically required for basic operation.
- Увімкнення: Connect your drone's battery. The camera will power on with the drone's flight controller and VTX.
- Verify Video Feed: Turn on your FPV goggles or monitor and tune to the correct frequency of your VTX. You should see the live video feed from the RunCam Nano 4.
- PAL/NTSC Switching: The camera supports both PAL and NTSC video systems. This setting is usually switchable via a small button or OSD (On-Screen Display) control if available on your flight controller or VTX. Refer to your flight controller/VTX manual for specific instructions on how to switch video formats.
- Adjusting Lens Focus: The lens may have a focusing ring. If the image appears blurry, gently rotate the lens ring until the image is sharp. Secure it with a small amount of thread locker if necessary.
5. Технічне обслуговування
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your RunCam Nano 4 FPV Camera.
- Очищення лінз: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust, dirt, or smudges that can degrade image quality. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Перевірка підключення: Periodically inspect all wiring connections for any signs of wear, fraying, or loose contacts. Secure any loose connections.
- Захист навколишнього середовища: While durable, avoid exposing the camera to excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct impacts.
- Sensor Cleaning (if applicable): If your drone's flight controller has optical flow or laser sensors near the camera, gently wipe them with a clean, dry cloth after any replacement or maintenance to prevent dirt from affecting altitude hold functions.
6. Вирішення проблем
If you encounter issues with your RunCam Nano 4, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| проблема | Можлива причина | Рішення |
|---|---|---|
| Немає відео | Incorrect wiring; insufficient power; faulty VTX; incorrect FPV goggle frequency. | Check all wiring connections (power, ground, video). Ensure power supply is within 3.3-5.5V. Verify VTX is powered and functioning. Tune FPV goggles to the correct VTX frequency. |
| Dark or poor image quality | Insufficient lighting; lens dirty or out of focus; camera settings (if adjustable). | Ensure adequate lighting. Clean the lens. Adjust lens focus. Check if the camera's Day/Night mode is appropriate for current lighting. |
| Jello effect or vibrations in video | Drone vibrations; loose camera mount. | Ensure the camera is securely mounted. Check for loose drone components or unbalanced propellers that may cause vibrations. |
| Камера не вмикається | Неправильний томtage; reversed polarity; damaged cable. | Перевірте введений томtage is within 3.3-5.5V. Double-check wiring for correct polarity (Red to +, Black to -). Inspect the cable for damage. |
