INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek Series 8810C multimode eight
channel video multiplexer with bi-directional Sensornet data. Please take a few minutes
to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance from
this product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 8810C Series units operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of
eight simultaneous, real time baseband NTSC / PAL video signals with Sensornet data
over one multimode fiber optic cable.
The MTX-8810C transmitter accepts up to eight video inputs and multiplexes these
signals along with the data signals onto a single optical output port for connection to the
fiber transmission system. Correspondingly, the MRX-8810C receiver converts the
optical signal to eight independent video output signals along with the data signals.
The 8810C Series units operate on 50 um or 62.5 um multimode fiber. Refer to the data
sheets for detailed performance specifications.
The individual units may be configured for rack mounting or wall mounting depending
upon the position of the included mounting hardware.
INSTALLATION
THIS INSTALLATION SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON AND
SHOULD CONFORM TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70 AND
LOCAL CODES.
To install the MTX-8810C or MRX-8810C it is first necessary to mount the rack flanges
to the unit.
For rack mounting the ears are installed on the
sides of the unit with the surfaces that have
oval holes flush with the front of the unit as in
Figure 1. Mount the ears with the #10 flathead
screws provided. To mount in the rack cabinet,
use mounting screws that are appropriate for
the rack cabinet being used.
