INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek RRM-30 which consists of three
multimode video receivers. Please take a few minutes to read these installation
instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance from this product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The RRM-30 operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of three
baseband NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals over three strands of multimode
fiber optic cable. Each of its three independent optical inputs is designed to operate with
the MTM-100, RTM-100, or RTM-30 video transmitter. The RRM-30 contains the
electronics and optics of three RRM-100 units mounted on one printed circuit board to
save space and reduce cost.
The RRM-30 converts three FM modulated optical inputs into three seperate video
outputs using an 850 nm wavelength detector for each signal. The M30 Series product is
designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0 to 12 dB with a maximum
distance of up to 2.5 km. The RRM-30 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 a LED indicator provide for easy installation and monitoring of video
and dc power.
The RRM-30 is designed for rack mounting only. For a single channel modular stand
alone version please see the MRM-100.

The unit slides into any open slot in the SR-20 subrack. Use a small screwdriver to push
and lock the two ¼ turn fasteners into place. Please note that when installing this card in
the position directly next to the power supply in the SR-20 subrack, it may be necessary
to make the signal connections at the rear of the card before fully seating the card into
its slot.
POWER SOURCE
Power to the unit is supplied by the subrack. Please refer to the SR-20 and PSR
instructions for further details.
POWER CONNECTION
Power is supplied to the unit via a four finger backplane connector. The RRM-30 can be
inserted into the subrack or removed from the subrack with power applied to the
backplane.
