INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek MT-3340-12VDC singlemode video transmitter with bi­directional RS232 and bi-directional RS422. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in
order to obtain the maximum performance from this product.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The MT-3340-12VDC operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of a baseband NTSC,
PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signal with bi-directional RS232 data and bi-directional RS422. It is designed to
operate with the MR-3340-12VDC or RR-3340 video receiver over one singlemode fiber optic cable.

The MT-3340-12VDC converts a single video input, a RS232 data input, and a RS422 data input into an optical
output using a 1310 nm wavelength source. The MT-3340-12VDC also converts an optical input signal returning
on the same fiber into a RS232 data output and a RS422 data output using a 1550 nm wavelength detector. The
3340 Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0 to 21 dB. The MT-3340­12VDC operates on 9 um singlemode fiber. Refer to the data sheets for detailed specifications.

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

The MT-3340-12VDC is designed for mounting as a modular stand alone unit. For a rack mounted version
please see the RT-3340.

INSTALLATION

THIS INSTALLATION SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON AND SHOULD CONFORM
TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70 AND LOCAL CODES.

Mount the unit to a secure surface using #8 (3mm) hardware in four places. See the drawing on the next page
for mounting dimensions. Be sure to allow sufficient room for the minimum bend radius of the fiber cable used.

POWER SOURCE

THIS PRODUCT SHALL BE POWERED BY A LISTED CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY ONLY.
This unit requires an isolated 12 volt DC power source for proper operation. ANSI/NFPA 70 Class 2 wiring is
recommended.

POWER CONNECTION

Power is supplied to the unit via a two pin terminal connector on the side of the unit. See label on unit for proper
orientation of input power.

FIBER CONNECTION

The fiber optic connection is made via a FC/PC connector located on the right side of the unit.

VIDEO INPUT CONNECTION

The video input connection is made via a BNC connector on the right side of the unit. The video input should be
connected to an appropriate 75Ω baseband video source such as a camera or a video recorder output. For
optimum performance the video cables should be the shortest length of coax practical.

DATA INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

Data input and output connections are made via a terminal block on the right side of the unit. See the label on
the unit for proper orientation of input and output connections.

TYPICAL RS422 DATA CONNECTIONS

RS422 data connections are based on industry standard EIA terminology for the transmission of electronic data
signals. Using this terminology, the driver of an electronic signal is labeled TX or data out. Correspondingly, the
receiver of an electronic signal is labeled RX or data in. The plus terminal of the copper device is connected to
the plus terminal of the fiber modem and the minus is connected to the minus. Not all manufactures follow
standard EIA terminology. Consult the installation instructions for your copper device if you are unsure which
two wires are the drive (data out) wires and which two wires are the receive (data in) wires.

Please note that Data In on the MT-3340-12VDC becomes Data Out on the RR-3340 after going across the
fiber. The reverse flow follows the same orientation.
