GENERAL
This manual is a guide to the installation and operation of
the V732 series fiber optic video and data transmission
system. Please read the entire manual before installing
the equipment.
NOTE:
The series numbers V732T and V732R are used
to describe all models of transmitters and receivers
unless noted otherwise.
The V732 series video and data transmission system
offers simultaneous transmission of 8-bit video and bi-
directional multiprotocol data (MPD). The V732 system
operates over one multimode fiber.
A complete system consists of a transmitter, V732T, and a
receiver, V732R. Units are designed for standalone
operation or for installation in Vicon’s V515R-PS or
V517R-PS Card Cages (V732R-R).
Both the V732T transmitter and V732R receiver have one
video input, one data input/output and one fiber connector.

MODULE SETUP
Data Selection
NOTE:
The DATA SELECT switch on standalone units, or
SW1 on rack cards, is shipped in the Disabled setting.
Using the rotary DATA SELECT switch, select a valid data
format according to the Data Select Settings listed in
Table 1.
NOTE:
If the link is going to support RS-485, refer to
RS-485 APPLICATION NOTES on page 8.
Alarm Jumper
Rack cards are supplied with an alarm function that goes
active if the optical signal input to the card fails. The
alarm is always indicated on the front panel of the card by
a red LEVEL/LOSS
TM
LED. The alarm may also be out-
put to the rack power supply, where a sonalert (audible
alarm) and alarm output contact closure may be activat-
ed.
The alarm is set to ON (ACTIVE) at the factory. If the
alarm output is not desired, move jumper W3 to the OFF
position. Refer to Figure 2 on page 3.
NOTE
: Setting the Alarm jumper W3 to OFF does not
effect the operation of the LEVEL/LOSS
TM
LED. Loss of
optical signal will always be indicated by a red
LEVEL/LOSS
TM
LED.
Video Format/Test Pattern Generator
The V732 links support both NTSC and PAL video stan-
dards without adjustment. The V732T transmitter and
V732R receiver have jumpers to select the video format
and enable the test pattern generator. To set the video
format for the test pattern generator:
NOTE:
In order for the test pattern generator to operate
properly, both the transmitter and receiver must be set to
the same format.
1. On rack modules, set jumper W2 to the NTSC, PAL,
or OFF position. See Figure 2.
2. On surface mount units, switch S1, located on the
rear of the unit, configures the test pattern generator.
Set switch S1 position 1 to ON to enable test pat-
terns. Set switch S1 position 2 to ON for NTSC or to
OFF for PAL. See Figure 3.
