Installation Instructions
Out of the box
Before unpacking the Fusion CCU, always inspect the shipping container for evidence of damage and report
any damage immediately. Always place the shipping container in the upright position as marked on the
packaging. Remove the Fusion CCU from the packaging, ensuring that all transport packing and retaining
fixings are removed. Inspect the Fusion CCU for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Report
any damage immediately to Vinten Radamec or the local distributor.
Mounting the Fusion CCU into a rack
Mount the Fusion CCU into the 19 inch rack system and secure into position. The unit must be sited in the rack
to allow adequate ventilation of the system.
Cabling
All external ports are located at the back of the Fusion CCU (see Features and Controls on page viii). When
installing cabling, it is important that all cables are ‘dressed’ and secured.
Power connection
The Fusion CCU has a dual redundant internal power supply, both powered from a single power inlet located
on the rear panel. Connect the Fusion CCU to the local power supply. The power switch for the Fusion CCU is
located on the front panel.
Connecting to the Fusion System and Camera
Each Fusion CCU in the Fusion system can support up to five cameras. Additional Fusion CCUs can be
installed to provide control of a larger number of cameras. Each camera supported by the Fusion CCU has an
Ethernet port and communications port located on the rear panel. Each port is clearly labelled as a pair of ports
for a single camera (channel), for example ETH1 and PORT 1 are the communication ports required for camera
1, ETH2 and PORT 2 are the communication ports required for camera 2 and so on.
Connecting to the Fusion System
Using a standard ethernet cable, connect the camera ethernet port (ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, ETH4, ETH5) to the
Fusion system server (VRC or LCS server). Most installations will require an Ethernet switch to be installed,
and in such installations the Fusion CCU will connect directly to the Ethernet Switch. The Ethernet Switch
providing the connection between the Ethernet ports on the Fusion system server and the Fusion CCU.
