10-BIT DIGITAL VIDEO WITH
ONE BI-DIRECTIONAL DATA CHANNEL
The ComNet FVT/FVR110 series is a video transmitter/receiver and data transceiver
that supports the simultaneous transmission of short haul quality 10-bit EIA RS-250C
digitally encoded video and bi-directional data over one multimode or single mode
optical fiber. The FVT110 also transmits a single bi-directional contact closure signal.
The module is universally compatible with major CCTV camera manufacturers.
Figures 6 and 7 starting on Page 4 illustrate the specific data connections for
RS232, RS422, 2 or 4-wire RS485 data transmission.
The FVT/FVR110 also supports “up-the-coax” data transmission from all major
manufacturers, utilizing time-base correction these units can achieve distances of
48km. The FVT/FVR110 supports Panasonic Proteus™, Pelco Coaxitron™ and Bosch
Bilinx™ Up-the-Coax systems.
Bi-color (Red/Green) LED indicators are provided for rapidly ascertaining equipment
operating status. Figure 10 on Page 6 describes the LED indicators for each light on
the unit.
The FVT110 and FVR110 units are interchangeable between stand-alone or card
mount configurations, or may be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of ComNet
model DINBKT1 adaptor plate. The FVT110M is stand-alone only. See Figure A on
Page 8 for mounting instructions.

the unit.
FIGURE 9 – CONTACT CHANNEL SWITCH SETTINGS
The switch is located on the front of the standard size units. The FVT110M small-size unit only supports the CIN mode.
The contact channel in the full-size (ComFit) units can operate in one of four modes as determined by the two DIP switches located at
the front of each FVT and FVR unit as described below. The contact channel in the compact-size units only operates in the IBCC Mode
as described below so there are no DIP switches on the unit to set contact channel mode.
Contact Channel
Switch Settings
Switch 1Switch 2Contact Channel Mode
ONONIBCC - Independent Bi-directional Contact Closure Mode
OFFONVSS - Video Signal Status Mode
ON OFFOLS - Optical Link Status Mode
OFFOFFNOLS - Negative Optical Link Status Mode
· In this mode, the FV T and FVR must be properly powered and there must be a good optical link between the FVT and the FVR.
· A dry closure across the CIN pair at one unit will result in a non-latching relay contact closure across COUT of the unit at the
opposite end of the fiber path. Otherwise, the relay contacts across COUT are normally open. The channel can support closure
status in both directions simultaneously.
VSS – Video Signal Status Mode
· In this mode, the FV T and FVR must be properly powered and there must be a good optical link between the FVT and the FVR.
· The presence of a good composite analog video signal at the BNC input of the FVT unit will cause the relay contacts across COUT of
the FVR to close. Lack of a good composite analog video signal at the BNC input of the FVT unit will cause the relay contacts across
COUT of the FVR to open.
· The status – open or shor ted – across the CIN pair of the FVT is not passed to the FVR in this mode.
· A dry closure across the CIN pair of the FVR will cause the relay contacts across COUT of the FVT to open. Lack of a dry closure across
the CIN pair of the FVR will cause the relay contacts across COUT of the FVT to close.
OLS – Optical Link Status Mode
· In this mode, the FV T and FVR must be properly powered.
· The presence of a good optical link between the FVT and the FVR units will cause the relay contacts across COUT of the FVT and the
FVR to close. Loss of optical link between the FVT and the FVR units will cause the relay contacts across COUT of the FVT and the FVR
to open.
· The status – open or shor ted – across the CIN pair of the FVT or the FVR is not passed in this mode.
NOLS – Negative Optical Link Status Mode
· In this mode, the FV T and FVR must be properly powered.
· The presence of a good optical link between the FVT and the FVR units will cause the relay contacts across COUT of the FVT and the
FVR to open. Loss of optical link between the FVT and the FVR units will cause the relay contacts across COUT of the FVT and the FVR
to close.
· The status – open or shor ted – across the CIN pair of the FVT or the FVR is not passed in this mode.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This fiber-optic link is supplied as a Standalone/Rack module. Units should
be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and
humidity.
C1-US, C1-EU, C1-AU OR C1-CH CARD CAGE RACKS
CAUTION: Although the 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 connector 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 two thumb screws on the card until the front panel of the
card is seated against the front of the rack.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 power supply.

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 the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
