For mounting the unit flush to a wall or other rigid 
surface, the ears may be installed on the sides with 
the oval holes flush with the bottom of the unit as in 
Figure 2. Mount the ears with the #10 flathead 
screws provided. Mount the 
unit to a rigid surface using #10 (5mm) screws. 
 
POWER SOURCE 
The internal power supply accepts universal line voltage. Any mains supply from 100 to 240 
VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, may be used without modification or adjustment. A universal power 
connector is provided on the rear of the unit to facilitate connection to the power mains. 
 
POWER CONNECTION 
The unit is supplied (in the US and UK only) with a three conductor power cord. The “ground” 
conductor is directly connected to the chassis. 
 
INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
The fiber optic connection is made via a ST connector located at the back of the unit. Be sure to 
allow sufficient room for the required minimum bend radius of the fiber cable used. 
 
Video input and output connections are located on the rear of the unit. A BNC connector is 
provided for each channel. The video inputs are connected to an appropriate 75
Ω baseband
video source such as a camera or a video recorder output. The 75
Ω video outputs can be
looped through typical baseband video inputs of switchers, recorders and other equipment as 
required. For proper operation, the outputs must be terminated with 75
Ω. For optimum
performance the video cables should be the shortest length of coax practical. 
 
Data input and output connections are located on the rear panel terminal block. A mating plug 
connector is provided. The figure below identifies the specific connections for the RS485 data 
connections. See next page for RS422 / RS232 data connections.
