INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek MTM-1485 multimode mini video transmitter with RS485 transceiver. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance from this product.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The MTM-1485 operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of baseband NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals and bi-directional RS485 data. It is designed to operate with the MRM-1485 or RRM-1485 video receiver with RS485 transceiver over a single multimode fiber optic cable.

The MTM-1485 converts a single video input along with a single RS485 input into a FM modulated optical fiber output using a 1300 nm wavelength source. The MTM-1485 also converts an optical RS485 signal returning on the same fiber into an electronic RS485 output using an 850 nm wavelength detector. This unit may be configured for two wire half duplex or four wire full duplex electrical interfaces. The M1485 Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0 to 12 dB. The MTM-1485 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, data, and dc power.

The MTM-1485 is designed for mounting as a modular stand alone unit. For a rack mounted version please see the RTM-1485.

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

This unit requires a +12VDC power source for proper operation. The DC input is diode protected. 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.

INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

The fiber optic connection is made via a ST connector located on the right side of the unit.
