GeneralInstallationInstructions
Pleaseconsiderthesegeneralinstructionsinadditiontoanyproduct‐specificinstructionsinthe“Installation”chapterofthismanual.
Unpacking
Checktheequipmentforanytransportdamage.Iftheunitismechanicallydamaged,ifliquidshavebeenspilledorifobjectshavefallenintothe
unit,itmustnotbeconnectedtotheACpoweroutlet,oritmustbeimmediatelydisconnectedbyunpluggingthepowercable.Repairmustonlybe
performedbytrainedpersonnelinaccordancewiththeapplicableregulations.
InstallationSite
Installtheunitinaplacewherethefollowingconditionsaremet:
 Thetemperatureandtherelativehumidityoftheoperatingenvironmentmustbewithinthespecifiedlimitsduringoperationofthe
unit.Valuesspecifiedareapplicabletotheairinletsoftheunit.
 Condensationmaynotbepresentduringoperation.Iftheunitisinstalledinalocationsubjecttolargevariationsofambient
temperature(e.g.inanOB‐van),appropriateprecautionsmustbetaken.
 Unobstructedairflowisessentialforproperoperation.Ventilationopeningsoftheunitareafunctionalpartofthedesignandmust
notbeobstructedinanywayduringoperation(e.g.‐byobjectsplaceduponthem,placementoftheunitonasoftsurface,or
improperinstallationoftheunitwithinarackorpieceoffurniture).
 Theunitmustnotbeundulyexposedtoexternalheatsources(directsunlight,spotlights).
AmbientTemperature
UnitsandsystemsbyFiberPlexaregenerallydesignedforanambienttemperaturerange(i.e.temperatureoftheincomingair)of+5...+40°C.
Whenrackmountingtheunits,thefollowingfactsmustbeconsidered:
 Thepermissibleambienttemperaturerangeforoperationofthesemiconductorcomponentsis0°Cto+70°C(commercial
temperaturerangeforoperation).
 Theairflowthroughtheinstallationmustallowexhaustairtoremaincoolerthan70°Catalltimes.
 Averagetemperatureincreaseofthecoolingairshallbeabout20C°,allowingforanadditionalmaximum10C°increaseatthe
hottestcomponents.
Ifthecoolingfunctionoftheinstallationmustbemonitored(e.g.forfanfailureorilluminationwithspotlamps),theexhaustairtemperaturemust
bemeasureddirectlyabovethemodulesatseveralplaceswithintheenclosure.
GroundingandPowerSupply
Groundingofunitswithmainssupply(classIequipment)isperformedviatheprotectiveearth(PE)conductorintegratedinthreepinPhoenix™
connector.Unitswithbatteryoperation(<60V,classIIIequipment)mustbeearthedseparately.Groundingtheunitisoneofthemeasuresfor
protectionagainstelectricalshockhazard(dangerousbodycurrents).Hazardousvoltagemaynotonlybecausedbydefectivepowersupply
insulation,butmayalsobeintroducedbytheconnectedaudioorcontrolcables.
Thisequipmentmayrequiretheuseofadifferentlinecord,attachmentplug,orboth,dependingontheavailablepowersourceatinstallation.If
theattachmentplugneedstobechanged,referservicingtoqualifiedpersonnel.

Introduction
ComplementingtheflexibilityoftheFiberPlex‘TDSeries’offiberopticmodules,theTTMprovidesconnection,
mounting,power,andcablemanagementforupto6frontfacingTDmodulesinacompactandruggedTruss
Mountablealuminumenclosure.Eachofthe16channelsofthemodularTTMfrontpanelcanaccommodate
anyNeutrik™DSeriesconnector,LCandSTbarrelconnectors,DB9connectors,etc.Theunusedpositionsare
simplyfilledbyinsertingblankpanels.Additionally,theTTMhas4additionalmodularchannelsontherearof
theunitforgreaterflexibility.Therearconnectorsallowforcableattachmentinopposingdirectionswithout
worryingaboutbendingthefiber‐opticcables,whilealsohelpingtokeepthecablingneatandorganized.The
integratedkey‐holemountingholesonthebottomoftheTDunitslocksecurelyonmatingstudswhilearear
retentionbarholdsthemsecurelyinplace.A6positionpowerwiringharnessandincludedpoweradapter
providepowerandapositiveearthgroundtothemodulesvia3positionPhoenix™lockingpowerconnectors.
Managingallthatcablingandfibercanbetedious;theTTMallowsasimplesolutiontoputmaximumcapacity
andflexibilityintoasingletrussmountedunit.
KeyFeatures
 Providesmountingandpowerforupto6singlewideTDSeriesmodules,orupto2
doublewideand2singlewidemodules
 Perfectforconnectingtotrussmountedequipment
 Accommodatesupto16connectorpositions
 PlatesavailableforstandardNeutrik™DSeriesconnectors,LCandSTbarrels,DE‐9,etc
 Reconfigureinminutes
 Securelyseatsmoduleswithpositiveretentionbar
 IntegratedACpowersupplyandwiringharnessincluded
 Convenientcabletrayforcleaninstallation
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
TheTTMcanbeopenedbyunscrewingthetwothumbscrewsalongthelatch,andswingingthechassisopen
aboutthehinges.Topreventpinchinginjury,keepfingersawayfromtheopenedgeswhenclosingthechassis.
Mountthechassistoanystandardtrusssectionusingtwotrussclamps,alsoknownasCheeseboroughclamps,
(notincluded)oftheappropriatesize.TheTTMmountingbracketisdesignedtoaccommodatetrussclamps
withM10mountingbolts.Theseclampsshallbeaffixedtotheswivelbracketofthechassis,withtheM10
mountingboltthrougheachslot.Therotationalalignmentcanthenbeadjustedbylooseningthetwowing
nutswherethebracketjoinsthechassis,movingtheTTMtothedesiredposition,andthentighteningthe
wingnutsandthetrussclampstoholditinplace.Thechassisshouldbelocatedinanenvironmentwherean
ambienttemperaturebetween0°and50°Ccanbemaintained,withallventsunobstructed.
PowerRequirements
Anycombinationof6FiberPlexTDSeriesModulescanbemountedinaTTM.EachTDmodulecandrawas
muchas6Watts,andtheventilationfancandrawupto1.5Watts,foratotalmaximumpowerconsumption
of37.5Watts.Powerissuppliedtotheindividualmodulesthroughapre‐wiredPowerHarnessthatconnects
theonboardpowersupplytothemodulesusing3pinPhoenix™connectors.PowerissuppliedtotheTTMas
ACmainspower(100to240V,universal)throughaNeutrikPowerCONTRUE1connectorontherearofthe
