Set Up of the CopperHead 3404 Transceiver System for operation
This section provides an overview of setup of the CopperHead 3404 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 3404 Transceiver
System as soon as you receive it 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 3404 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 3404 Base Station, or your setup is not
permanent as it would likely be in a remote truck, stadium control room or similar,
connect all of the required cables according to
Installing and Connecting the System
on page 41. 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 3404 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
External Power Wafer Power Supply
• For the HDX power supply used with the Copperhead PowerPlus, see
Make sure all cables running between the CopperHead 3404 Base Station and the
Power Supply and local AC power cords are properly managed and secured.
• Mount the Camera and CopperHead 3404 Camera Unit as shown on
CopperHead 3404 Camera Unit to the Camera
• Connect all required cables according to
Installing and Connecting the System
page 41. 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. Please see
on page 62 for details on Intercom operation with the CopperHead 3404
Camera Unit.
