XX164-60 VF-SR-20/2 Fiber Optic Card Cage and Power Supply Functional Description •3
Introduction
The information in this manual covers the installation of the VF-SR-20/2 Fiber-Optic Card Cage and
Power Supply. This system should only be installed by a qualified technician using approved materials
and wiring practices in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, state, and local
electrical codes. Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning an installation.
Functional Description
The VF-SR-20/2 provides rack mounting and power for Vicon fiber-optic rack modules. The VF-SR-20/2
mounts into a standard EIA 19-inch racking system. It can accommodate up to 14 single slot modules in
any combination of receivers and transmitters.
The VF-PSR-2 DC power supply is included and supplies a 100 W of output power. It has a universal
power input of 85 to 264 VAC. For unused slots, a blank panel is available, Model VF-BPS.
Installation
The VF-SR-20/2 may be mounted, using standard hardware, in an upright position, with the backplane
upward, inside the cabinet (see diagram below). It is important, as with any electronic equipment, to
provide sufficient airflow to prevent over heating in the cabinet. At least 1-7/8" (1 RU) of space should be
allowed above and below the VF-SR-20/2 to provide air flow. If more than one VF-SR-20/2 is installed,
forced airflow may be necessary depending upon the number of plug-in cards used in the over-all
installation. It is necessary to add a 1 RU fan unit at the top of every three VF-SR-20/2 racks with 1 U
spacing between them.
All cards are inserted in a similar manner. Any card may be used in any slot. Insert the card all the way
until the edge fingers meet the internal bus connector and the front panel is even with the front of the
rack. Then secure the ¼-turn fasteners by pushing with a small screwdriver, turning the screw 90
degrees clockwise and releasing pressure.
Power Supply
The far right hand position of the VF-SR-20/2 is only compatible with a VF-PSR-2 plug-in power supply.

4 •Installation XX164-60 VF-SR-20/2 Fiber Optic Card Cage and Power Supply
VF-PSR-2 Line Voltage
For proper operation, the input line voltage should be in the range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz,
properly grounded and conforming to all local codes. A universal power connector is provided on the rear
of the unit to facilitate connection to the power mains.
The VF-PSR-2 slides in and is locked into place by four ¼-turn fasteners. The line cord is then plugged in
from the rear. Be sure that the power switch is in the OFF (O) position before connecting the power
source.
The rear of the unit includes an exhaust fan. In order to insure long life and reliable operation, airflow from
the fan port should not be obstructed. The VF-SR-20/2 is supplied with the VF-PSR-2.
Controls and Indicators
Front panel LEDs indicate AC line (POWER) being present and the power switch being in the ON (I)
position. The ON/OFF switch is located on the rear of the power supply. A front panel LED indicates the
AC line being present. Please note that this supply is intended to be used with, and only when inserted
into, a VF-SR-20/2 card cage. Even though the output connector is recessed, there is potential for high
current at the output.
The VF-SR-20/2 is supplied with a three-conductor power cord. The Ground conductor is directly
connected to the chassis. The output connector goes directly into the rack.
