AVERTISSEMENT : Le FOXBOX T HD-SDI émet une lumière invisible en continu (conforme à la classe 1) qui peut être dangereux pour les yeux, à utiliser avec précaution Branchez la protection contre la poussière dans l ensemble émetteur/ récepteur lorsque le câble fibre optique est débranché. NOTES: Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your transmitter/receiver pair. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange or aqua jacket. Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter Tx to receiver Rx, is required for video, audio, and serial command transmission. But, if you connect only one fiber optic cable, or if the connected receiver is configured to daisy-chain the optical signal, system functionality is reduced. You will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device. To receive responses from the controlled device and for full functionality, you need to install both fiber optic cables and leave the connected receiver in normal configuration (see the User Guide for the connected receiver). Ò Tx (required) For all one-way video, audio, and serial communications from the transmitter to the receiver, connect a fiber optic cable to the Tx LC connector.

23 Equipment Mounting This section provides procedures for mounting the FOXBOX T HD-SDI transmitter. Mounting the Transmitter ATTENTION: Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. L installation et l entretien doivent être effectués par le personnel autorisé uniquement. The 1-inch high, quarter rack width transmitter can be placed on a table, mounted in a rack, or mounted under a desk or table. Tabletop Use Affix the included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location. Mounting kits Mount the unit using any optional compatible mounting kit listed on the Extron website ( in accordance with the directions included with the kit. For rack mounting, see UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines, below. UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the unit into a rack. Elevated operating ambient temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 F, +50 C) specified by Extron. Reduced air flow Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Mechanical loading Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading. Circuit overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. Reliable earthing (grounding) Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).
