MOUNTING
The FT8308 transmitter/FR8308 receiver can be mounted into a rack or can be used as a stand-alone
module. As a stand-alone module, the unit can be placed on a desktop or can be mounted to a wall.
MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER INTO A RACK
The FT8308 transmitter/FR8308 receiver can be installed into an RK5000 Series rack mount chassis,
which can be mounted into an industry-standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) equipment rack. The RK5000
Series rack mount chassis includes the following models:
•
RK5000PS-3U and RK5000-3U:
–
The RK5000PS-3U rack mount chassis provides 12 single-width module slots and a
power supply.
–
The RK5000-3U rack mount chassis provides 14 single-width module slots (a power
supply is not included). Power to the modules can be supplied using the optional
external power supply (EPS5000-120).
For additional information, refer to the RK5000PS-3U/RK5000-3U Fiber Rack Mount Chassis
Installation manual.

optic modules with the use of the appropriate adapter kit. The RK5002-1UEXP adapter kit is
required for installation of the FT8308 transmitter/FR8308 receiver into the RK5000PS-5U
chassis.
For information about the RK5000PS-5U chassis, refer to the RK5000PS-5U Rack Mount Chassis
Installation manual.
NOTE:
The FT8308 transmitter/FR8308 receiver is a double-width fiber optic module that occupies
two slots in the RK5000PS-3U, RK5000-3U, and RK5000PS-5U chassis.

MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER TO A WALL
The FT8308 transmitter/FR8308 receiver can be mounted to a wall in the following ways:
•
Using the supplied wall clip for attachment of a single module to a wall. For installation
instructions, refer to the
below.
•
Using the optional WM5002 wall mount kits, which are designed for mounting of doublewidth fiber optic modules. The WM5002-3U base kit allows mounting of a single module to a
wall. The WM5002-3UEXP expansion kit allows mounting of an additional module. It is
recommended that a maximum of one expansion kit be used with the base kit, allowing a
maximum of two double-width modules to be attached to a wall.
NOTE:
The WM5002 wall mount kits can be used with the WM5001 wall mount kits, which
are designed for mounting of single-width fiber optic modules. If mounting a mix of single-width
and double-width modules is desired, it is recommended that a maximum of two single-width
modules and one double-width module be mounted in combination with one another.
For mounting instructions using the wall mount kits, refer to the WM5000 Series Wall Mount
Kit Installation manual.
Mounting the Transmitter/Receiver Using the Wall Clip
section
Mounting the Transmitter/Receiver Using the Wall Clip
NOTE:
Before mounting the FT8308 transmitter/FR8308 receiver to a wall, ensure that there is
adequate space at both ends for viewing the front-panel LEDs and for making the various rear-panel
cable connections.
To attach the FT8308 transmitter/FR8308 receiver to a wall using the supplied wall clip, refer to
Figure 6 and do the following:
1. Using the two vertical or horizontal wall-mounting holes, attach the wall clip to a wall using
two screws (not provided).
2. Slide the module into the clip until the two holes on the bottom of the module align with the
two holes on the lower flange of the clip.
3. Attach the module to the clip using the two Phillips pan head screws provided for the clip.

CONNECTIONS
Connections to the FT8308 transmitter and the FR8308 receiver are made on the rear panel of the
modules and consist of the following:
•
Power connection
NOTES:
–
A 12 VDC or 24 VAC power supply can be used to power the transmitter/receiver when
used as a stand-alone module. A 12 VDC power supply is provided. If a 24 VAC power
supply is used, the power supply must be a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked as
Class 2 and rated as 24 VAC, 500 mA
–
In extreme temperature conditions, it is recommended that an industrial-rated outdoor
power supply such as the Pelco WCS1-4 power supply be used.
