INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek Series 746C-SL singlemode four channel video
multiplexer with one bi-directional multi-protocol data channel and one bi-directional contact channel.
Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum
performance from this product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The RR-746C-SL operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the digital transmission of four
simultaneous NTSC or PAL video signals along with one channel of field configurable bi-directional
data and one channel of bi-directional contact closure over one singlemode fiber optic cable. The data
channel may be configured as RS485 data, RS422 data, RS232 data, or Manchester data. The RS485
channel may be configured for 2-wire (half duplex) or 4-wire (full duplex) with or without biasing. Switch
selectable internal 120 ohm terminations are available for RS422 or RS485 data.
NOTE: This unit is shipped with Data Channel in the RS485 4-wire configuration. For other
configurations, please refer to the DATA CONFIGURATION section for changes to the default
switch settings.
NOTE: This unit is shipped with data terminations off and data bias off. For other
configurations, please refer to the DATA TERMINATION / BIAS section for changes to the
default switch settings.
The RR-746C-SL receives a high speed data stream modulated onto a 1310 nm optical wavelength
and then de-multiplexes this signal into four video input signals along with one multi-protocol data
signal. The RR-746C-SL also transmits a return multi-protocol data channel onto a 1550 nm optical
wavelength.
This unit is contained in a 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
optical power.
The RR-746C-SL is designed for rack mounting only. For a modular stand alone version please see the
MR-746C-SL.
