SERIES DESCRIPTION

This operating guide describes a family of International Fiber Systems, Inc. (IFS) fiber optic modems.

Not all modems have all of the features in this guide.

The VT/VR5000 series is designed to transmit and receive four video signals from Closed Circuit
Television (CCTV) cameras over one fiber optic cable. This series is composed of multimode and single mode
fiber optic interfaces that utilize FM (frequency modulation) techniques to produce high quality video images.

POWER CONNECTION

(a) Stand-alone Modules:

VT/VR5000 SERIES

12 VDC INPUT

PIN 1 +12 VC
PIN 2 GROUND

(b) “–R3” Modules:

All “-R3” models receive power from the back plane of the R3 rack. Insert the “-R3” unit into an
available R3 rack slot such that the female 3-pin connector on the back of the module engages the companion
male connector of the back plane. The red power LED will glow when voltage is applied to the unit.

CAMERA CONNECTION

Attach 75-ohm coaxial cables (terminated with BNC connectors) from the video output connectors of four
separate cameras to the four "VIDEO IN" BNC connectors on the VT5000 series module.

MONITOR CONNECTION

Attach 75-ohm coaxial cables (terminated with BNC connectors) from the four "VIDEO OUT" BNC

connectors on the VR5000 series module to video input connectors of a monitor (or switcher).

FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION

Select a quality fiber optic cable containing either 62.5/125 µ fiber for multimode interfaces or 9/125 fiber
for single mode interfaces. Attach a ST style fiber optic connector using the connector manufacturer's
recommended procedures. Connect the fiber optic cable to the ST connector marked "OPTICAL OUT" on the
VT5000 series module to the ST connector marked “OPTICAL IN” on the VR5000 series module.

MOUNTING STAND-ALONE UNITS

Hold the VT5000 or VR5000 series module against the mounting surface and mark the locations of the
keyhole slots on the rear mounting brackets. Install mounting screws into keyhole marks, allowing leeway
under the screw heads for the box to be mounted. Mount the brackets over the screws, slide, and tighten.

VIDEO LINK OPERATION

Make sure that power is applied to the VT5000 and VR5000 series modules, camera, and video monitor.
Ensure that the camera and monitor are turned on, and that any lens cover on the camera has been removed.
Verify that coaxial cables and fiber optic cable are properly connected (i.e., the same fiber connects to the video
input and output on transmitter and receiver). Successful link operation should be visible at this point as
witnessed by a good quality video picture on the monitor.
