(3) Installation
3.1 General
All OT Systems products are thoroughly inspected, tested and securely packaged before
delivery to ensure a stable, intact and trouble-free service. Please check the equipment upon
receipt for any visible damage which may have been caused during shipping.
The FTD100 Series card modules are housed inside the FT-C18 rack-mount chassis (Fig.
3.1) with an included power supply unit. The whole chassis is powered by local 110/220V power.
FT-C18 is a standard 19” (483mm) rack-mount chassis which occupies 4 rack units (177.8mm) in
height. Each FTD100 card module occupies one slot and a total of 18 cards can be housed
inside the chassis.

3.2 Card module installation
a) Insert the card module into the FT-C18 chassis along the top and bottom card guides of an
empty slot and push the card into the multi-pin socket at the rear firmly. Secure with the provided
thumb screws.
b) Repeat the above procedure for all the rest card modules. Unused slots must be covered
with blank panels provided.
c) Connect all the signal inputs and outputs at the back of the unit with appropriate cables:
fiber optic cable for optical link, BNC cable for video input/output (Tx/Rx).
d) Once the chassis is powered up, check that the red POWER LED on the front and back
panels of the card modules are lit. If not, check the power supply cable connections between the
chassis and the power supply socket. For failures of individual card’s POWER LEDs, check the
corresponding card modules, whether they have been inserted properly.
e) With all the signals available at the input and output ports, check the status of LEDs located
on the unit . With correct status of each LED, installation is now completed [for LEDs status, see
Operational Guides on this manual’s section (5)].
