1 FT8301A/FR8301A Fiber Transmitter and Receiver Installation manual (this manual)

MOUNTING

The FT8301A transmitter/FR8301A receiver can be mounted into a rack or can be used as a standalone
module. As a standalone module, the unit can be placed on a desktop or can be mounted to a wall.

MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER INTO A RACK

The FT8301A transmitter/FR8301A 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: Designed to accommodate fiber optic modules as follows:
– The RK5000PS-3U rack mount chassis provides 12 module slots and a power supply.
– The RK5000-3U rack mount chassis provides 14 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.

™

• RK5000PS-5U: Designed to accommodate Endura
optic modules with the use of the RK5001-1UEXP adapter kit. The RK5001-1UEXP adapter kit
is required for installation of the FT8301A transmitter/FR8301A receiver into the RK5000PS-5U
chassis.

For information about the RK5000PS-5U chassis, refer to the RK5000PS-5U Rack Mount Chassis
Installation manual.

modules but can also accommodate fiber

C1679M (1/06) 11

MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER TO A WALL

The FT8301A transmitter/FR8301A 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 Mounting the Transmitter/Receiver Using the Wall Clip section.

• Using the optional WM5001 wall mount kits, which are designed for mounting of single-width
fiber optic modules. The WM5001-3U base kit allows mounting of a single module to the wall.
The WM5001-3UEXP expansion kit allows mounting of an additional module. It is
recommended that a maximum of three expansion kits be used with the base kit, allowing a
maximum of four single-width modules to be mounted to the wall.

NOTE: The WM5001 wall mount kits can be used with the WM5002 wall mount kits, which are
designed for mounting of double-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

NOTE: Before mounting the FT8301A transmitter/FR8301A 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 FT8301A transmitter/FR8301A receiver to a wall using the supplied wall clip, refer to
Figure 4 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.

1

Connections to the FT8301A transmitter and the FR8302A 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 standalone 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, 200 mA (minimum output).

– In extreme temperature conditions, it is recommended that an industrial-rated outdoor

power supply such as the Pelco WCS1-4 power supply be used.

• Fiber connection

• Video connection (UTP or BNC)

NOTE: When connecting to the UTP connector, it is recommended that solid UTP wire rather
than stranded UTP wire be used. If stranded UTP wire is used, it is recommended that you tin
the stranded wire.
