WARNING: Never look directly into the end of the optical fiber while either
end of the system is operating. Eye damage is possible.
The Adder 882i is compatible with industry standard ST type connectors. It may
be used with installed backbone cables or with dedicated cables.
Assembled cables and connectors are available from Telecast Fiber Systems,
Inc. For custom cable fabrication, use type ST connectors such as Telecast part
number CONN-ST-M. Always follow the connector manufacturer’s directions
when fastening a connector to the cable. A Quick-crimp kit, part number CKIT-
3M-QC, is available from Telecast.
On a two fiber system, connect the cables so that the Tx at one end connects to
Rx at the other end. On a one-fiber system, connect the fiber optic cable to the
Adder 882i Tx connector at each end. The Rx ST bulkhead may or may not be
installed on one-fiber units.
In the same way, the system can be operated on two coaxial cables at distances
up to 300m. By connecting a coax from the TX on one side to the RX on the
other, a link can be made. You cannot run optical and coaxial links
simultaneously. These connectors are located directly above the optical
connectors on the rear panel.
The coax link can also be used with our Diamondback and Diamindback2
products. See those respective manuals for details.
Electrical Connections
Intercom Modules
Up to four intercom modules can be installed into the 882i. Two 4-Wires come
built-in on each 882i. Three types of intercom modules are available from
Telecast and shown in Figure 11 on page 10:
• Two balanced 4-wires
• Two Clear-Com 2-wires
• RTS compatible dual-channel 2-wire
Note:
A 2-wire system can be interconnected with a 4-wire system or a different
type of 2-wire system but not all intercom functions will work (for example,
calling).
The intercom connectors are 3 or 5-Pin Male XLR’s; Switchcraft E3MST-AU or
E5MST-AU.
