The outputs of the three (3) Video Modules are combined at the transmitter into a
single optical signal by means of the WDM and separated out at the receiver with an
identical WDM. The video channels are referred to as A1, A2, etc., and B1, B2, etc.
A video input to the A3 transmitter BNC connector will be received out of the A3 BNC
on the corresponding video module.
The FVT200D8 and the FVR200D8 come completely assembled and tested from
the factory. There are no optical or electrical adjustments required or permitted.
However, the DATA CHANNELS must be configured for the specific type of data;
i.e. RS232, RS422 or RS485 2W or 4W. See Figure 5 on Page 5 for specific switch
settings. See Figures 1 – 7 for complete installation instructions.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This fiber-optic link is supplied as a Rack. Units should be installed in
dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of equipment in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
FIGURE A
Dimensions are for a standard ComNet™ C1 card cage
C1-US, C1-EU, C1-AU OR C1-CH CARD CAGE RACKS
CAUTION: Although ComNet units are hot-swappable and may be
installed without turning power off to the rack, ComNet recommends
that the power supply be turned off and that the rack power supply
is disconnected from any power source. Note: Remove electrical
connectors on ComNet units before installing in card cage rack.
1. Make sure that the card is oriented right side up, and slide it into the card
guides in the rack until the edge connector at the back of the card seats
in the corresponding slot in the rack’s connector panel. Seating may
require thumb pressure on the top and bottom of the card’s front panel.
CAUTION:Take care not to press on any of the LEDs.
2. Tighten the thumb screws on the card until the front panel of the
card is seated against the front of the rack.
WARNING: Unit is to only be used with included C1PS power supply.
