INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek MTM-61 multimode video transmitter. Please take a
few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance from
this product.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The MTM-61 operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of baseband NTSC,
PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals and bi-directional Sensornet data. It is designed to operate with
the MRM-61 or RRM-61 video transmitter over a single multimode fiber optic cable.

The MTM-61 converts a single video input and a single Sensornet input into an optical output using a
1300 nm wavelength source. The MTM-61 also converts an optical input signal returning on the same
fiber into a Sensornet output signal using an 850 nm wavelength detector. The M61 Series product is
designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0 to 12 dB. The MTM-61 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 indicators provide for easy installation and monitoring of video,
data, and dc power.

The MTM-61 is designed for mounting as a modular stand alone unit. For a rack mounted version
please see the RTM-61.
