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.
The unit slides into any open slot in the SR-20 subrack. Use a small screwdriver to push
and lock the two ¼ turn fasteners into place. Please note that when installing this card in
the position directly next to the power supply in the SR-20 subrack, it may be necessary
to make the signal connections at the rear of the card before fully seating the card into
its slot.
POWER SOURCE
Power to the unit is supplied by the subrack. Please refer to the SR-20 and PSR
instructions for further details.
POWER CONNECTION
Power is supplied to the unit via a four finger backplane connector. The RRM-300 can
be inserted into the subrack or removed from the subrack with power applied to the
backplane.
INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
The fiber optic connection is made via a ST connector located on the back of the unit.
Be sure to allow sufficient room for the required minimum bend radius of the fiber cable
used.
The video output connection is made via a BNC connector on the back of the unit. The
75
Ω
video output can be looped through typical baseband video inputs of switchers,
recorders and other equipment as required. For proper operation, the output must be
terminated with 75
Ω
. For optimum performance the video cables should be the shortest
length of coax practical.
