Setting-up the CopperHead 3400 Transceiver System
This section provides an overview of setup of the CopperHead 3400 Transceiver System for
operation. The following sections provide additional detail on each aspect of setup and
operation.
It is important that you do an initial setup and test of your CopperHead 3400 as soon as
your receive in order to confirm proper operation and to provide training to you and your
team prior to an actual production.
Use the following list of items as an overall checklist for setup:
1 It is highly recommended that you do not attempt to power up the system until all
connections are made and in particular the Fiber Optic Cable has been connected at
both ends.
If you need to power up either the CopperHead 3400 Base Station or Camera Unit,
make sure that the Fiber Connectors are securely capped. This will protect them from
damage or dirt and protect you from eye damage.
2 If it is the first time setting up the CopperHead 3400 Base Station, or your setup is not
permanent as it would likely be in a remote truck, stadium control room, or similar,
connect all required cables (see at
Tactical Fiber between the Base Station and Camera
on page 47). The order in which you connect the cables makes no difference.
• Make sure to connect the Camera Remote Control cable to the Base Station and
Remote Control Panel when the Base Station power is turned off.
• Keep Fiber Optic cable connectors capped until actually connecting the Fiber
Cable.
3 When setting up the CopperHead 3400 Camera Unit and associated Camera, you will
need to do the following:
• Setup the external power supply as required.
• For the MPS power supply used with the CopperHead Power Wafer,see
Hybrid Fiber between the MPS Power Unit and Camera Unit
• For the HDX power supply used with the Copperhead PowerPlus, see
Hybrid Fiber between the HDX Power Unit and Camera Unit
Make sure all cables running between the CopperHead 3400 Base Station and the
Power Supply and local AC power cords are properly managed and secured.
• Mount the Camera and CopperHead 3400 Camera Unit(see
CopperHead 3400 Camera Unit to the Camera
• Connect all required cables (see
SMPTE Hybrid Fiber between the MPS Power Unit
on page 49). The order in which you connect the cables makes no
difference.
• Make sure to connect the Camera Remote Control cable to the Camera Unit and
Camera when the Camera power is turned off.
• Set up the Intercom Talk Back switches and level controls as desired.
4 Deploy the Fiber Cable – you are now ready to Power Up the system.
You should read the Using Fiber Optics Guide for information on how to manage and
deploy your fiber optics cabling, safety precautions, tips & tricks, and recommendations
for creating complex fiber optic networks. You can find a copy of this document on the
