INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek RR-913D multimode video receiver with bi-directional
multi-protocol data and 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 RR-913D operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of high performance
10 bit digital NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals. The RR-913D also supports up to three bi-
directional channels of RS485 (2 or 4 wire), RS422, RS232 or Manchester data. Switch selection
allows for multiple data configurations in one of the following three formats:
Channel 1: RS422 or RS232 data
Channel 2: RS422 or RS232 data
Channel 3: RS422 or RS232 data
Or:
Channel 1: RS422 or RS232 data
Channel 2: RS485 (2 or 4 wire) or Manchester data
Channel 3: RS422 or RS232 data
Or:
Channel 1: RS485 (2 or 4 wire) or Manchester data
Channel 2: RS485 (2 or 4 wire) or Manchester data
Channel 3: Not available in this configuration
NOTE: This unit is shipped in the following default configuration. For other configurations,
please refer to the DATA CONFIGURATION section for changes to the default switch settings.
Channel 1: RS422 data
Channel 2: RS485 (4 wire) or Manchester data
Channel 3: RS232 data
The RR-913D is designed to operate with the MT-913D or RT-913D video transmitter with bi-directional
data over one multimode fiber optic cable.
The RR-913D multiplexes up to three data signals into a high speed serial data stream. This serial data
stream modulates a laser at 1550 nm wavelength. The RR-913D also detects and demultiplexes a
return optical serial data stream signal containing a single video input signal along with up to three data
channels at 1310 nm wavelength. The 913D Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss
budget range of 0 to 12 dB. Refer to the data sheets for detailed performance specifications.
The RS485 channel may be configured for 2-wire (half duplex) or 4-wire (full duplex) operation with or
without biasing. Switch selectable internal 120 ohm terminations are available for RS422 or RS485
data.
This unit is designed for rack mounting in the American Fibertek SR-20D/2 subrack. Slide in rack
mounting, detachable terminal blocks, and LED indicators provide for easy installation and monitoring
of video, data, and optical power.
The RR-913D is designed for rack mounting only. For a modular stand alone version please see the
MR-913D.
The RR-913D has a built in capability to be remotely monitored through the Afinety Remote Diagnostics
System. A SR-20D/2 subrack and a RD-20D diagnostic card are required to facilitate this feature.
Please refer to the SR-20D/2 and RD-20D Instruction Manuals for proper operation of this feature.
