INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock do not remove the cover or back of this unit. No
user serviceable parts are inside.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shocks and risk of fire hazards, do not use other than specified
power source.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shocks and risk of fire hazards, do not expose this equipment to
rain or moisture.
CAUTION: Pay attention to NEC articles 810-21, 820-22, and 820-40 that provide guidelines for
proper grounding.
CAUTION: This unit may emit harmful invisible laser radiation. Do not view directly any laser
optical emissions. Viewing the laser with certain optical instruments such as a microscope of
magnifier may pose an eye hazard. The laser is classified as a Class 1M per IEC/EN
60825-1/A2:2001 and complies with FDA/CDRH, 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for
deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No.50 dated 26 July, 2001.
1. UNPACKING and HANDLING
Each unit is shipped assembled and factory tested.

Description
The FT-FRXID-RM-SCAPC is a state of the art rack mountable fiber optic receiver designed for
fiber optic applications with an input frequency range of 47 to 860 MHz.
This unit provides a high level of reliability with low noise, a high output level and excellent
performance to price ratio. The automatic gain control (AGC) range is -6dBm~+1dBm providing a
stable output level that remains within 0.5 dB. The FT-FRXID-RM-SCAPC has two RF outputs with an
output level of 35 dBmV.
The unit is contained in a rugged single rack space housing that is 19” rack mountable. A
convenient -20dBmV test point is located on the front panel along with a digital input signal level
display, equalization and attenuation controls. The back panel has an optical input along with two F
connectors for the RF output.
Features
High-performance photo-electricity converter and power multiplier output module
RF level continuously adjustable
Fixed equalization plug-in option of 0～21dB
Input optical power can be monitored on the panel with the LCD display
Redundant receiver to ensure output signal
Optical AGC function optional，receive at -6~+1dBm，RF output level changes no more
than ±0.5dB
Complies with SCTE HMS and IEC network management standard

Installation
1. Unpacking
Open box and inspect for damages. Locate the optical receiver, power cord, and user’s
manual.
2. Mounting
The FT-FRXID-RM-SCAPC is a rack mountable 1RU device. To ensure sufficient
cooling, it is recommended to leave 1.75” spacing above and below device.
3. Making Connections
Plug the power cord into the power supply socket and switch the power on.
All optical connections to the FT-FRXID-RM-SCAPC are SC/APC connections. Be
sure to clean all optical connectors before connection. Connect SC/APC connector to
“OPT In” on the rear of the transmitter.

“RF OUT 1” and “RF OUT 2” may be connected to outside distribution via F-style
connectors to coaxial cable. The -20dB “RF OUT TEST” is connected in the same
fashion.
