INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek Series 8410C-SL singlemode four
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 8410C-SL Series units operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission
of four simultaneous, real time baseband NTSC / PAL video signals with Sensornet data
over one singlemode fiber optic cable.
The MTX-8410C-SL transmitter accepts up to four 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-8410C-SL receiver converts the
optical signal to four independent video output signals along with the data signals.
The 8410C-SL Series units operate on 9 um singlemode 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-8410C-SL or MRX-8410C-SL 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.
