FiberPlex VRK-1832 - Manual (Page 6)

Getting Started
Initial Inspection
Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for damage. The container should be retained until
the shipment has been checked for completeness and the equipment has been checked mechanically and
electrically. If the shipment is incomplete, if there is mechanical damage, or if the unit fails to operate notify
FiberPlex and make the shipping materials available for the carrier's inspection.
Chassis Mounting
Mount the chassis using fasteners appropriate to your standard 19” rack enclosure. All four (4) mounting
points MUST be utilized. Ensure that there exists adequate clearance for front and rear ventilation. The chassis
should be located in an environment where an ambient temperature between 0° and 50° C can be maintained.
If using the VIS‐1832 configuration, place the Stage Box in a location central to the majority of your signal
sources.
Making Connections
The setup of a basic 1832 system is a quick and simple process.

Connect a Fiber Cable between the primary fiber connection of the VRK‐1832 and the primary fiber connection of
the Tail End device (VIM‐1832 or VIM‐MY32M)

Make copper connections at both ends

Connect AC power via the Neutrik™ powerCON TRUE1 connector

Verify the ‘Sync’ light on both the Head and Tail units are green
The more advanced functions of the LightViper™ VRK‐1832 are addressed later in this manual.
NOTE: the signal coming out of a Tail unit into the console will be line level. When the gain
switches on the VRK‐1832 are properly set, the signal going into the console will be very hot this
is normal. Use line level inputs or engage input pads to achieve optimal signal‐to‐noise ratio.
