INSTALLATION
Installation of audio interface
To install the apparatus, it is necessary to allow enough space to accommodate the bend
radius of the optical cable connected to it. Audio interface uses 1, 2 and 3 20-position
terminal block connectors for 1A,4A, 8A and 12A transmission respectively.
Installation of card unit
To install in the chassis, orient the card with the Infinova logo at the top of the module and
slide onto the top and bottom card guides in the chassis. Press securely on the top and
bottom of the module to ensure that it is fully seated in the chassis so that the electrical
connector mates with the chassis-mounted motherboard. Once installed, manually tighten
the two thumbscrews located at the top and bottom of the card. Do not use tools to secure
these and do not over tighten.

POWER SUPPLY
Power supply for card unit
The N3774 and N3574 card unit is powered by a plug-in power supply that is provided with
the appropriate desk chassis or EIA 19" subrack.
Power supply for stand-alone module
The N3774 and N3574 card unit can be converted into a stand-alone module when installing
into proper N3910 chassis that is powered by a plug-in 24VAC (N3921-24AC-1 for 110V;
N3921-24AC-2 for 230V) power supply. Plug the wires into the connectors, fasten the
screws to make a firm connection, see figure below.

TRANSMISSION REPEATER
The N3951 series is used between transmitter and receiver to extend the transmission
distance of fiber optical system. It magnifies the optical signal received from transmitter, and
sends it to receiver. By using a N3951, the transmission distance of the system is doubled.

CABLE DIAMETER CALCULATION AND LIGHTNING & SURGE PROTECTION
Relation between 24VAC Cable Diameter and Transmission Distance
In general, the maximum allowable voltage loss rate is 10% for AC-powered devices. The
table below shows the relationship between transmission power and maximum transmission
distance under a certain specified cable diameter, on condition that the 24VAC voltage loss
rate is below 10%. According to the table, if a device rated at 50W is installed 17-meter
away from the transformer, the minimum cable diameter shall be 0.8000mm. A lower
diameter value tends to cause voltage loss and even system instability.

Lightning & Surge Protection
The product adopts multi-level anti-lightning and anti-surge technology integrated with gas
discharge tube, power resistor and TVS tube. The powerful lightning and surge protection
barrier effectively avoids product damage caused by various pulse signals with power below
4kV, including instantaneous lightning, surge and static. However, for complicated outdoor
environment, refer to instruction below for lightning and surge protection:
The product features with dedicated earth wire, which must be firmly grounded. As for
surveillance sites beyond the effective protection scope, it’s necessary to erect
independent lightening rods to protect the security devices. It’s recommended to separate
the lightning rod from the mounting pole, placing the rod on an independent pole, as
shown in the figure below. If the product has to be installed on the same pole or pedestal
for lightning rod, there should be strict insulation between the video cable BNC terminal,
power cable, control cable and the standing pole of the lightning rod.
For suburb and rural areas, it’s recommended to adopt direct burial for the transmission
cables. Overhead wiring is prohibited, because it’s more likely to encounter lightning
strike. Use shielded cables or thread the cables through metal tubes for burial, thus to
ensure the electric connection to the metal tube. In case it’s difficult to thread the cable
through the tube all the way, it’s acceptable to use tube-threaded cables only at both ends
of the transmission line, yet the length in burial should be no less than 15 meters. The
cable sheath and the tube should be connected to the lightning -proof grounding device.
Additional high-power lightning-proof equipment and lightning rods should be installed
for strong thunderstorm or high induced voltage areas (such as high-voltage substation).
The lightning protection and grounding for outdoor devices and wires should be designed
in line with the actual protection requirement, national standards and industrial standards.
The system should perform equipotential grounding by streaming, shielding, clamping
and earthing. The grounding device must meet anti-interference and electric safety
requirements. There should be no short-circuiting or hybrid junction between the device
and the strong grid. Make sure there’s a reliable grounding system, with grounding
resistance below 4Ω(below 10Ωfor high soil resistivity regions). The cross-sectional area
of the earthing conductor should be no less than 25mm².
