2.1 Mounting
Before installing the units into your housing, make sure there is
enough space to pull and connect both the electrical and optical
cables without stressing them beyond the manufacturer’s
limitations (also known as the bend radius minimum). Rack
Mount kits are available through special order.
2.2 Cabling and Connectors
In order to setup the BCI 1500E properly, make sure to observe
the following instructions when installing the proper cables. The
1500E requires two parts to the cabling setup: the electrical
and the optical.
2.3 Electrical Cable Connection
For the electrical connection, it is required that the following
steps be observed when connecting the various audio, video
and data terminal devices, as they all require special attention.
The available electrical connections are for video, audio and
serial data. They are described in the following sections.
2.3.1 Analog Video Interface
The 1500E accepts 75-ohm video signal over coax cable
terminated to a BNC connector (e.g., RG 59U with a BNC
connector). (See Figure 2-2). For analog video connections,
follow these steps.
1. Connect the required video transmission source to the
VIDEO IN BNC connector on the 1500E unit.
2. Then, connect the VIDEO OUT BNC connector on the
1500E unit to the required video receiver unit(s). You
are now ready to transmit and receive video signals.
