6.1. Set Up of the Copperhead 3400 Transceiver System for operation
This section provides an overview of setup of the Copperhead 3400 Transceiver System for operation.
The following sections provide additional detail on each aspect of setup and operation.
It is important that you do an initial setup and test of your Copperhead 3400 Transceiver System as soon
as your receive in order to confirm proper operation and to provide training to you and your team prior
to an actual production.
Use the following list of items as an overall checklist for setup.
1. It is highly recommended that you do not attempt to power up the system until all connections
are made and in particular the Fiber Optic Cable has been connected at both ends. If you need
to power up either the CopperHead 3400 Base Station or Camera Unit make sure that the Fiber
Connectors are securely capped. This will protect them from damage or dirt and protect you
from eye damage.
2. If it is the first time setting up the CopperHead 3400 Base Station or your setup is not
permanent as it would likely be in a remote truck, stadium control room or similar, connect all
required cables according to Chapter 5 (Starting at Page 51). The order in which you connect the
cables makes no difference.
a. Make sure to connect the Camera Remote Control cable to the Base Station and Remote
Control Panel when the Base Station power is turned off.
b. Keep Fiber Optic cable connectors capped until actually connecting the Fiber Cable.
3. When setting up the CopperHead 3400 Camera Unit and associated Camera you will need to do
the following:
a. Setup the external power supply as required. For the MPS power supply used with the
CopperHead Power Wafer see Page 49. For the HDX power supply used with the
Copperhead PowerPlus see Page 50. Make sure all cables running between the
CopperHead 3400 Base Station and the Power Supply and local AC power cords are
properly managed and secured.
b. Mount the Camera and CopperHead 3400 Camera Unit as shown on Page 40.
c. Connect all required cables according to Chapter 5 (Starting at Page 54). The order in
which you connect the cables makes no difference.
d. Make sure to connect the Camera Remote Control cable to the Camera Unit and Camera
when the Camera power is turned off.
