INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek RR-2400 multimode video / RS422 data transceiver.
Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum
performance from this product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The RR-2400 operates as half of a transceiver pair for the transmission of bi-directional baseband
NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals with bi-directional RS422 data. It is designed to operate
with the MT-2400 or RT-2400 video / RS422 data transceiver over a single multimode fiber optic cable.
The RR-2400 converts a single video input and a single RS422 data input into an optical output using
an 850 nm wavelength source. The RR-2400 also converts an optical input signal returning on the
same fiber into a single video output and a single RS422 data output using a 1300 nm wavelength
detector. The 2400 Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0 to
12dB when used on 62.5 um multimode fiber. The RR-2400 operates on 50 um or 62.5 um multimode
fiber. Refer to the data sheets for detailed performance specifications.
This unit is designed for rack mounting in any of the three American Fibertek subracks available. The
subrack model numbers are SR-20/1, SR-20R/1, and SR-20/2. Slide in rack mounting and LED
indicators provide for easy installation and monitoring of video, data, and dc power.
The RR-2400 is designed for rack mounting only. For a modular stand alone version please see the
MR-2400.
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.
The unit slides into any open slot in the SR-20 subrack. Use a small screwdriver to push and lock the
