Installation
Connecting power
Transmitter and receiver back panels:
Note: J/VD-MRX-01 receiver has two ways to connect power: barrel connector and
a polarity sensitive 2-pin terminal block.
Note: The video transmitter and receiver must be matched: single mode TX/RX or
multimode TX/RX. If installed as a mixed pair, the system will not function.
Caution: Use 75 ohm BNC connectors on 75 ohm cable only. Failure to observe this
caution will result in signal degradation.
To install the video transmitter and receiver system cables, see installation diagram

Troubleshooting
If there are problems with the system setup or a system failure occurs, isolate and
correct the problem by determining the answers to the following questions and then
taking the indicated action:
1. Are the power LEDs ON in the transmitter and receiver?
NO
• Are the power adapters the proper type (voltage and frequency) for the AC
outlet?
• Are the power cords properly plugged/installed into the transmitter and
receiver, and plugged into an active electrical outlet?
• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312, International: 00-1952-941-7600.
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Are the RX LEDs lit on the transmitter and receiver?
NO
• Check that the fiber cable SM/MM matches the transmitter and receiver set
SM/MM.
• Check the fiber-cable connections and condition of the fiber cable.
• Check for video signal at the transmitter coax port.
• Check the coax cable connection.
• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312, International: 00-1952-941-7600.
