INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The
FBR-16V(M/S)-TX
and
FBR-16V(M/S)-RX
operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the
transmission of sixteen baseband NTSC or PAL video signals over a single multimode or single-mode
fiber.
The
FBR-16V(M/S)-TX
converts sixteen video inputs to an optical fiber output.
The
FBR-16V(M/S)-RX
converts an optical fiber input into sixteen video outputs.
These units are contained in compact and rugged steel housings with internal dc voltage regulation. The
detachable terminal blocks and LED indicators provide for easy installation and monitoring of video,
optical link, and dc power.
The units operate mounted in a standard EIA 19-inch rack or cabinet.
See Figure 1 for a physical configuration of the units.
INSTALLATION
THE INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSON(S) AND MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES.
The general connectivity of the units is detailed in Figure 2.
Mount the unit in a rack/cabinet using screws that are appropriate for the rack/cabinet being used.
POWER SOURCE
The unit requires a +12VDC power source for proper operation. The DC input is diode protected against
reverse polarity connection.
In the USA and in Canada, an Aventura Technologies FBR-PSUS12DC2A is supplied with this unit.
Contact Aventura Technologies for ordering power supply units for use in countries other than the USA
and Canada.
POWER CONNECTION
Power is supplied to the unit via a two-pin detachable terminal block connector. Follow the labeling on
the unit for proper connections of the +12 volt dc and ground leads.
VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTION
The video input and output connections are made via BNC connectors on the front of the units. The
video inputs and outputs are 75 ohms. For proper operation, the video outputs must be terminated with
75 ohms. For optimum performance, the use of the shortest practical length of coax cables is
recommended.
FIBER CONNECTION
The fiber optic connections are made via ST (multimode fiber) or FC (single-mode fiber) connectors,
located on the front of the units.
