INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek RRM-61 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 RRM-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 MTM-61 or RTM-61 video transmitter over a single multimode fiber optic cable.

The RRM-61 converts an optical fiber input into a single video output and a single Sensornet output
using a 1300 nm wavelength detector. The RRM-61 also converts an electrical Sensornet input signal
into an optical Sensornet output returning on the same fiber using an 850 nm wavelength source. The
M61 Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0 to 12 dB. The RRM­61 operates on 50 um or 62.5 um multimode fiber. Refer to the data sheets for detailed performance
specifications.

This unit is designed for rack mounting in any of the three American Fibertek subracks available. The
