INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek Series 8610C multimode six channel
video multiplexer with bi-directional Sensornet data. Please take a few minutes to read
these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance from this
product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 8610C Series units operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of six
simultaneous, real time baseband NTSC / PAL video signals with Sensornet data over
one multimode fiber optic cable.
The MTX-8610C transmitter accepts up to six video inputs and multiplexes these signals
along with the data signals onto a single optical output port for connection to the fiber
transmission system. Correspondingly, the MRX-8610C receiver converts the optical
signal to six independent video output signals along with the data signals.
The 8610C Series units operate on 50 um or 62.5 um multimode fiber. Refer to the data
sheets for detailed performance specifications.
The individual units may be configured for rack mounting or wall mounting depending
upon the position of the included mounting hardware.
INSTALLATION
THIS INSTALLATION SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON AND
SHOULD CONFORM TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70 AND
LOCAL CODES.
To install the MTX-8610C or MRX-8610C it is first necessary to mount the rack flanges
to the unit.
For rack mounting the ears are installed on the
sides of the unit with the surfaces that have
oval holes flush with the front of the unit as in
Figure 1. Mount the ears with the #10 flathead
screws provided. To mount in the rack cabinet,
use mounting screws that are appropriate for
