INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek Series 860SL singlemode six channel
video multiplexer. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in
order to obtain the maximum performance from this product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 860SL Series units operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of
six simultaneous, real time baseband NTSC/PAL video signals over one singlemode
fiber optic cable.
The MRT-860SL transmitter accepts six video inputs and multiplexes these signals onto
a single optical output port for connection to the fiber transmission system.
Correspondingly, the MRR-860SL receiver converts the optical signal to six independent
video output signals.
The 860SL Series units operate on 9 um singlemode fiber. Refer to the data sheets for
detailed performance specifications.
The individual units may be configured for rack mounting or wall mounting depending
upon the position of the included mounting hardware.
INSTALLATION
THE INSTALLATION OF THESE UNITS SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSON(S) AND MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES.
To install the MRT-860SL or MRR-860SL it is first necessary to mount the rack flanges
