INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek Series 91600D-SL singlemode sixteen
channel video multiplexer with remote diagnostic interface. Please take a few minutes to
read these installation instructions in order to obtain the maximum performance from this
product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 91600D-SL Series units operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission
of sixteen high performance 10 bit digital NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals
over one singlemode fiber optic cable.
The RT-91600D-SL transmitter accepts sixteen video inputs and multiplexes these
signals onto a single optical output port for connection to the fiber transmission system.
Correspondingly, the RR-91600D-SL receiver converts the optical signal to sixteen
independent video output signals.
The 91600D-SL Series units operate on 9 um singlemode fiber. Refer to the data sheets
for detailed performance specifications.
The individual components that make up the 91600D-SL series units are combined in a
rack mount configuration using the SR-20D subrack. The RT-91600D-SL consists of a
RT-980D-1470, a RT-980D-1490, and a RT-CWDM-4 installed in a SR-20D subrack
powered by a PSR-2 supply and monitored by a RD-20D diagnostic interface module.
Each 980D unit multiplexes eight video inputs onto one distinct singlemode wavelength.
The CWDM-4 unit multiplexes these distinct wavelengths onto one singlemode fiber.
The RR-91600D-SL consists of a RR-980D-1470, a RR-980D-1490, and a RR-CWDM-4
installed in a second SR-20D subrack powered by a PSR-2 supply and monitored by a
RD-20D diagnostic interface module. Blank plates are supplied for all unused card slots.
The RD-20D diagnostic card in each subrack enables the status of the RT-91600D-SL
and the RR-91600D-SL components to be monitored locally or via a remote PC. Please
refer to the RD-20D installation manual for set up and operating instructions for remote
status monitoring.
