System Design
VT/VR1900 Series
IFS FM Video with Bi-Directional
Data and Tamper Switch
OVERVIEW
The IFS VT/VR1900 Series video transmitter/receiver and data
transceiver supports the simultaneous transmission of frequency
modulation (FM) video, contact closure and bi-directional data over
one or two optical fibers. The modules are universally compatible
with major CCTV camera manufacturers and support RS-232,
RS-422, RS-485 (Tri-State 2 or 4-wire). Modules within the series
are available for use with multimode or single mode optical fiber.
Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation requiring no
electrical or optical adjustments. The modules incorporate power,
and carrier detect status indicating LED’s to monitor proper system
operation. The modules are available in either stand-alone or rack
mount versions.
Function of tamper switch:
The tamper switch terminals on the VR will open upon one of the
following conditions; loss of carrier, loss of video, switching of SW3
on the VT to the ON position.
