INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek MTM-100 multimode mini video
transmitter. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to
obtain the maximum performance from this product.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The MTM-100 operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of
baseband NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals over a single multimode fiber
optic cable. It is designed to operate with the MRM-100, RRM-100, or RRM-30 video
receiver. The RRM-30 contains the electronics and optics of three RRM-100 units
mounted on one printed circuit board to save space and reduce cost.

The MTM-100 converts a single video input into a single FM modulated optical output
using an 850 nm wavelength source. The M100 Series product is designed to operate
over an optical loss budget range of 0 to 12 dB with a maximum distance of up to 2.5
km. The MTM-100 operates on 50 um or 62.5 um multimode fiber. Refer to the data
sheets for detailed performance specifications.

This unit is contained in a compact and rugged aluminum housing with internal dc
voltage regulation. The detachable terminal block and LED indicators provide for easy
installation and monitoring of video and dc power.

The MTM-100 is designed for mounting as a modular stand alone unit. For a rack
mounted version please see the RTM-100 or the RTM-30.

INSTALLATION

THE INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSON(S) AND MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES.

Mount the unit to a secure surface using #8 (3mm) hardware in four places. Mounting
dimensions can be found on the connection diagram included with this manual. Be sure
to allow sufficient room for the required minimum bend radius of the fiber cable used.

POWER SOURCE

The unit requires a +12VDC power source for proper operation. The DC input is diode
protected. Current draw is approximately 100mA maximum. In the USA and in Canada
an American Fibertek PS-12 is supplied with this unit. The negative side of the power
input is directly connected to ground. ANSI/NFPA 70 Class 2 wiring is recommended.

POWER CONNECTION

Power is supplied to the unit via a two pin terminal connector. Follow label on unit and
customer connection drawing for proper orientation of +12 volt dc and ground.
