Laser Safety Information
This unit is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT according
to EN60825-1 (EU) and FDA 21CFR 1040.10 (USA). Class 1 laser
products are considered safe and do not result in biological
hazard if used according to these instructions.
Warning –indicate danger that requires proper procedures or
practices to prevent injury or death to personnel.
Cautions indicate proper procedures or practices to prevent
damage to equipment or property.
Warning –The safe operation of this product requires that a protective
earth connection be provided. A grounding conductor in the equipment’s
mains supply cord provides this protective earth. To reduce the risk
of electrical shock to the operator and service personnel, this ground
conductor must be connected to an earthed ground. The mains plug shall
remain readily operable.
Warning –The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
<2000m
Warning - This symbol on the equipment indicates for use at
altitudes not exceeding 2000 m.
Warning - Contact your local authority for further details on the
correct disposal of this waste, in accordance with your national
legislation.
Warning – Use of controls, adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning – Never look directly into the end of the optical fiber
while either end of the system is operating.
Warning – Never clean an optical fiber connector on equipment or
cable that is carrying light.
Warning – Always use dust caps on fiber optic connectors when

Made in the USA November 2019© 2019 MultiDyne, Inc.
IINTRODUCTION
Overview
The purpose of this manual is to provide configuration information and installation instructions for GenPlex and Regen Repeaters. The
repeaters are sold in pairs with an A model connected to the Hybrid Universal Transceiver (HUT) on the Camera side and a B model
connected to a HUT for the Camera Control Unit (CCU) side. The GenPlex are devices used with the HUT to increase the range of the
fiber connection. The GenPlex models that can be ordered for 3G, 10G and 12G.
Repeater Models
Unpacking
GenPlex and Regen Repeaters are shipped as a pair within a single container or part of a larger container when ordered as part of a
network. The container will contain:
• Two or more GenPlex or Regen Repeater models.
Ի Verify the Quantity of the order against the shipping manifest.
Ի Verify the Model Numbers based on the order placed and the table below.
• Two or more AC/DC Power Cords and Power Supplies for the repeater devices.
• Rack Mount (Metalwork) for installing in a 1U Rack (if ordered).
• Mounting Cover Plates to dress o unused Mounting Locations
• Bag of connectors and connecting hardware needed to complete installation.
Carefully remove the repeaters from packaging and place onto stable flat surface. Packaging material should be recycled as appropriate
to local area requirements.

4GenPlex 12G Repeater Configuration and Installation
Mounting
The repeaters are strategically placed in the middle of long distance runs to regenerate signal strength. The GenPlex or Regen boxes
can be located within an existing equipment rack or any hard flat surface where the fiber cable is being routed. The device requires no
additional grounding or start up procedures.
Existing Equipment Rack Mounting:
NOTE
The Rack Mount aluminum metalwork plate can be used for installing the Repeater(s) in a
1U Rack. The plate can accommodate six Repeater installations. For installations that do
not use six Repeaters, a blank dress plate is provided to cover the unused openings.
Ի Remove the four plate mounting screws and position the Repeater to the desired Rack Mount plate location. Install
the four screws that secure the Repeater to the plate.
Ի At the rack where the Repeater(s) is to be located make sure all wiring and loose equipment has been cleared away
to avoid any obstructions. Make sure the front and rear portions of the rack are clear so that the wiring can be routed
to the Repeater(s).
Ի Slide the Rack Mount plate with Repeater(s) installed into the rack and secure with attaching hardware.
Ի Using the Connections as a guide install the cables to the Repeater(s).
Ի Position the dress cover plates over the unused openings and secure with attaching hardware.
Optical Budget
The optical power budget is the minimum amount of power needed to be applied to the GenPlex or Regen Repeaters from the
fiber communications link. Optical power loss can be caused by various means including splices, coupling loss, connector loss and
attenuation. It is important to the operational integrity of the GenPlex and Regen Repeaters that adequate optical power signal strength
be available. The optical power budget is specified in decibel (dB) and optical power budget for the GenPles is 16dBm + 2dBm.
Connections
Connections for the GenPlex Repeaters are simple and provided in the table below.
Connections for the Regen Repeaters are simple and provided in the table below.
Plug the AC/DC Power Cord Converter connector into the GenPlex unit at POWER 9-24VDC and secure. Plug the other end of the
converter cord into wall or suitable Power Strip/Surge Suppressor.
