INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek MRM-1400 multimode video receiver. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance from this product.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The MRM-1400 operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of baseband NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals with bi-directional RS422 data. It is designed to operate with the MTM-1400 or RTM-1400 video transmitter over a single multimode fiber optic cable.

The MRM-1400 converts an optical fiber input into a single video output and a single RS422 output using a 1300 nm wavelength detector. The MRM-1400 also converts an electrical RS422 input signal into an optical RS422 output returning on the same fiber using an 850 nm wavelength source. The 1400 Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0 to 12 dB. The MRM-1400 operates on 50 um or

62.5 um multimode 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 block and LED indicator provide for easy installation and monitoring of video and dc power.

The MRM-1400 is designed for mounting as a modular stand alone unit. For a rack mounted version please see the RRM-1400.
