Set Up of the CopperHead 3430AP Transceiver System for Opera-
tion
This section provides an overview of setup of the CopperHead 3430AP 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 3430AP Transceiver
System as soon as your receive it, 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 con-
nections 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 the Copper-
Head 3430AP 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.
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.
2 When setting up the CopperHead 3430AP Camera Unit and associated Camera you will
need to do the following:
a.
Make sure all cables running between the CopperHead 3400 base station and the HDX-
Plus power supply and local AC power cords are properly managed and secured..
b.
Mount the camera and CopperHead 3430AP Camera Unit as shown on Page nnn
c.
Connect all required cables according to Chapter 3. The order in which you connect
the cables makes no difference. BUT...
d.
Turn OFF the camera power before connecting the camera remote control cable to the
camera unit and camera.
e.
Set up the intercom talk back switches and level controls as desired. Please see
on page 42 for details on Intercom operation with the CopperHead 3430AP
Camera Unit.
3 Deploy the Fiber Cable (see the next section) – you are now ready to power up the system.
Connecting and Managing the Fiber Cable
Connecting and managing the Fiber Cable between the CopperHead 3430AP Camera Unit and
CopperHead 3400 base station or an intermediate power supply requires you to perform four
tasks:
1 Plan the route the Fiber Cable will take between the Camera Unit and HDX-Plus power sup-
ply, and the Base Station and power supply
2 Run the Fiber Cable along the planned route
3 Connect the Fiber Cable Connectors at each end
