INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek MR-388SL singlemode video/audio receiver. Please
take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance
from this product.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The MR-388SL operates as half of a transmitter/receiver pair for the transmission of a one way
baseband NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signal with two channels of one way audio. It is
designed to operate with the MT-388SL or RT-388SL video/audio transmitter over one singlemode fiber
optic cable.

The MR-388SL converts an optical input signal into a single video output and two separate audio
outputs using a 1300 nm wavelength detector. The 388SL Series product is designed to operate over
an optical loss budget range of 0 to 21 dB. The MR-388SL operates on 9 um singlemode fiber. Refer to
the data sheets for detailed performance specifications.

This unit is contained in a compact and rugged aluminum housing with internal dc voltage regulation.
The detachable terminal blocks and LED indicator provide for easy installation and monitoring of
video/audio and dc power.

The MR-388SL is designed for mounting as a modular stand alone unit. For a rack mounted version
please see the RR-388SL.
