INSTALLATION
THIS INSTALLATION SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON AND SHOULD
CONFORM TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA AND LOCAL CODES.
To install the MTX-8406C or MRX-8406C it is first necessary to
mount the rack flanges to the unit.
For rack mounting the ears are installed on the sides of the unit
with the surfaces that have oval holes flush with the front of the
unit as in Figure 1. Mount the ears with the #10 flathead screws
provided. To mount in the rack cabinet, use mounting screws that
are appropriate for the rack cabinet being used.
For mounting the unit flush to a wall or other rigid surface, the
ears may be installed on the sides with the oval holes flush with
the bottom of the unit as in Figure 2. Mount the ears with the #10
flathead screws provided. Mount the unit to a rigid surface using
#10 (5mm) screws.
POWER SOURCE
The internal power supply accepts universal line voltage. Any mains supply from 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to
60 Hz, may be used without modification or adjustment. A universal power connector is provided on the
rear of the unit to facilitate connection to the power mains.
POWER CONNECTION
The unit is supplied (in the US , UK, and Euro only) with a three conductor power cord. The “ground”
conductor is directly connected to the chassis.
INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
The fiber optic connection is made via a ST connector located on the back of the unit. Be sure to allow
sufficient room for the required minimum bend radius of the fiber cable used.
Video / Control Data input and output connections are located on the rear of the unit. A BNC connector is
provided for each channel. The video inputs / control data outputs are connected to an appropriate 75

baseband video source such as a camera or a video recorder output. For optimum performance the
video cables should be the shortest length of coax practical.
The video outputs / control data inputs are connected to an appropriate controller. For proper
operation, these signals must be terminated with 75
.
