Introduction
Unit Functional Schematic
The
AMG4783E
-
DR
-
SF
transmits up to 8 video and 1
data signals to the
AMG4784E
-
DR
-
SF
.
It also receives 1 data signal
transmitted from the
AMG4784E
-
DR
-
SF
.
Ethernet connectivity is also
provided between the two
units
.
The
AMG4783E
-
DR
-
SF
transmits and receives the optical signals from both primary and secondary
optical channels. These optical channels are transmitted on the same optical fibre in opposite
directions, operating at different wavelengths. The primary c
hannel operates on 1550nm and the
secondary channel on 1310nm.
The
AMG4783E
-
DR
-
SF
receives and drops off a data signal transmitted from an
AMG4784E
-
DR
-
SF
receiver. It then inserts video and a data signal onto the outgoing optical signal. In normal operati
on
the video and data signals are transmitted on the primary output and the data received from the
primary input. The secondary optical input is independent and is regenerated on the secondary output.
At the
AMG4784E
-
DR
-
SF
receiver if the primary input si
gnal is not present, the unit will shut down the
secondary output to inform the
AMG4783E
-
DR
-
SF
that the primary signal route is not OK. The
AMG4783E
-
DR
-
SF
will then send out the video and data signals on its secondary output in the
opposite direction. As t
he primary input at the
AMG4784E
-
DR
-
SF
is not present the data signal will
now be taken from the secondary optical input, thus maintaining integrity of the data transmission.
Optical Connection
The
AMG4783E
-
DR
-
SF
is connected as illustrated below when u
sed with an
AMG4784E
-
DR
-
SF
receive unit acting as a point to point system.

Note: (A) or (B) in brackets in above table refers to RS485 / RS422 data specification, not Channel A,

Data Channel A Configuration
Channel A is always present and allows for a RS232, RS422 (full duplex, four wire) or RS485 (half
duplex,
two wire) interface depending on the position of the switch located above the RJ45 connector.
The switch signifies the presence of the X16004 Low Speed Data/Audio Interface Board. If there are
LED's present on the RJ45 connector then an X16003 Ethernet Int
erface Board is fitted.
The data input for both the RS485 and the RS422 modes detects a tri
-
state input condition by
monitoring the differential voltage level across the input. A differential level below 600mV positive or
negative will be detected as a tr
i
-
state condition. A level above 600mV positive or negative will
be
detected as a logic 1 or logic zero respectively. It is important therefore to terminate the RS485 bus or
the RS422 input bus using 120Ωif a pre
-
bias is present on the RS485 or RS422 bus.
A large number of third party equipment manufacturers apply a
pre
-
bias on their RS485 bus. This pre
-
bias is applied by pulling one arm of the RS485 bus high (+5 volts) and the other arm low (0 volts)
using high value resistors within the third party equipment. In order to ensure that the AMG equipment
detects a tri
-
state condition, then these resistors should have a value above 5k
Ω. If the third party
bias resistors are less the 750Ωthe bus can be double or triple terminated as required to ensure that a
tri
-
state level is detected.
Note: The Data Channel A is shipped from the factory set up for RS485 operation unless otherwise
r
equested.

Ethernet Operation
In order for the AMG system to transmit Ethernet signals, an onboard RJ45 Ethernet interface or
X16003 Ethernet interface adaptor should be fitted to both the Transmit unit and the R
eceive unit.
The Ethernet interface can operate at either 10Mbits/s half duplex, or 100Mbit/s full duplex, and data is
transmitted from one port the other port with the minimum of delay or buffering. The maximum
bandwidth (at 100Mbit/s full duplex) availa
ble for transmission across the fibre link is nominally
50MBit/s.
The 100BaseT port does not implement MDI/MDIX; it should be connected with a straight though
cable to an external switch port and with a cross over cable when connected directly to a PC or
DTE.

Mounting Details
The AMG unit is supplied with a clip
-
on mounting bracket which should be attached to a panel or wall
using 2 off 4.0mm s
crews. The unit is clipped into the mounting bracket, and is then held firmly in
position.
Removal / replacement from / to the Case
Note:
-
The AMG unit PCB's are static sensitive. Handle with proper care and use normal electrostatic
discharge (ESD) pro
cedures. Use properly grounded protection (for example, wrist straps) when
handling the PCB.
To remove units from the case to access the data expansion boards and the daughter boards, remove
the 2 or 4 fixing screws on the rear panel and slide the PCB's
out of the case.
Ensure that the fibres do not snag or get trapped.
To replace the PCB's into the case, slide the PCB's gently into the case aligning the boards with the
appropriate slots. Ensure that the fibre do not snag or get trapped.
Safety
AMG
Optical Fibre Products use Class 1 laser systems in accordance with EN 60825
-
2:2000.
It is always advisable to follow good practice when working with optical fibre systems. This includes:

Do not stare with unprotected eyes or with any unapproved collimat
ing device at fibre
ends or connector faces, or point them at other people.

Use only approved filtered or attenuating viewing aids
For other safety issues and advice on good practice associated with optical fibre systems, please see
EN 60825
-
2:2000 or you
