(1) Safety Instructions
Please be familiar with all information in this manual prior to installation and
operation.
Note 1: The products described contain a Class 1 laser or LED fiber optic emitter. The following
safety precautions apply.
Warning: Do not disconnect the fiber optic connector while the unit is powered up.
Exposure to Class I invisible optical radiation is possible when the internal fiber optic
connector is disconnected while the unit is powered up.
Caution: Any access to the controls, adjustments, or performing operations, which are
other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Permanent eye
damage or other bodily injuries may be resulted from such exposure even for only
seconds.
Note 2: This assembly contains parts sensitive to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD
precautionary procedures should be applied in the course of touching, removing or inserting parts
or assemblies.

(2) Product Overview
2.1 Introduction
The FT220AB Series products comprise of either single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic
transmitters and receivers for the optical transmission of TWO forward (Tx → Rx) video and
TWOduplex (Tx ↔ Rx) audio signal on one fiber. The products work at wavelengths of 1310nm
and 1550nm with either a 9/125um or 62.5/125um fiber for single-mode or multi-mode
transmission respectively.
A non-compressed 10-bit digital video transmission scheme is implemented which supports
video in NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats.
A 24-bit digital PCM transmission scheme is employed for analogue audio transmission.
Both balanced and unbalanced audio inputs and outputs are supported. Optical Wavelength
Division Multiplex (WDM) technique is also employed for simultaneous reverse audio signal
transmission.
For single-mode transmission, we also offer specifically designed products for long-haul
transmissions up to 60km. These models include the letter “L” in the suffix, e.g. FT220AB-SSTL
for Tx, FT220AB-SSRLfor Rx, etc.
The FT220AB Series units are available as standalone units, which can be mounted
horizontally or vertically wall-mounted on any fixture. The standalone unit comes with an external
power supply FT-PA/12V, which can be powered by local 110/220V power.
The FT220AB Series units are also available as plug-in card modules installed in a 19”
rack-mount chassis. Each plug-in card occupies two slots in the rack-mount chassis. The rack
mount chassis has to be ordered separately, and comes with its own power supply for powering
the installed card modules.

(3) Installation
3.1 General
All OT Systems products are thoroughly inspected, tested and securely packaged before
delivery to ensure a stable, intact and trouble-free service. Please check the equipment upon
receipt for any visible damage which may have been caused during shipping.
The FT220AB Series standalone units (Fig. 3.1) can be either horizontally or vertically
wall-mounted, or mounted on any fixture. The Standalone unit works with an external power
supply FT-PA/12V powered by local 110/220V power.
The FT220AB Series card modules are housed inside the FT-C18 rack-mount chassis (Fig.
3.2) with an included power supply unit. The whole chassis is powered by local 110/220V power.
FT-C18 is a standard 19” (483mm) rack-mount chassis which occupies 4 rack units (177.8mm) in
height. Each FT220AB card module occupies two slots and a total of 9 cards can be housed
inside the chassis.
3.2 Standalone unit installation
a) Mount the standalone unit onto a fixture, (either on the wall or on a flat surface) with four
screws through the holes on the mounting frame to secure it in position.
b) The provided power supply should also be mounted on the same fixture or in the proximity
for connection of the supply cables to the unit, provided that an AC power supply socket is
nearby for powering the adaptor.
c) Connect all the signal inputs and outputs at the back of the unit with appropriate cables:
fiber optic cable for optical link, BNC cables for video inputs/outputs (Tx/Rx), and UTP cable for
audio input/output (Tx/Rx).
d) Once the unit is powered up, check that the red POWER LED on the unit is lit. If not, check
the power supply cable connections between the unit and the power supply socket.

e) With all the signals available at the input and output ports, check the status of LEDs located
on the unit. With correct status of each LED, installation is now completed [for LEDs status, see
Operational Guides on this manual’s section (5)].
3.3 Card module installation
a) Insert the card module into the FT-C18 chassis along the top and bottom card guides of an
empty slot and push the card into the multi-pin socket at the rear firmly. Secure with the provided
thumb screws.
b) Repeat the above procedure for all the rest card modules. Unused slots must be covered
with blank panels provided.
c) Connect all the signal inputs and outputs at the back of the unit with appropriate cables:
fiber optic cable for optical link, BNC cables for video inputs/outputs (Tx/Rx), and UTP cable for
audio input/output (Tx/Rx).
d) Once the chassis is powered up, check that the red POWER LED on the front and back
panels of the card modules are lit. If not, check the power supply cable connections between the
chassis and the power supply socket. For failures of individual card’s POWER LEDs, check the
corresponding card modules, whether they have been inserted properly.
e) With all the signals available at the input and output ports, check the status of LEDs located
on the unit.With correct status of each LED, installation is now completed [for LEDs status, see
Operational Guides on this manual’s section (5)].
