Page 2: General Installation Instructions
General Installation Instructions Please consider these general instructions in addition to any product‐specific instructions in the “Installation” chapter of this manual. Unpacking Check the equipment for any transport damage. If the unit is mechanically damaged, if liquids have been spilled or if objects have fallen into the unit, it must not be connected to the AC power outlet, or it must be immediately disconnected by unplugging the power cable. Repair must only be performed by trained personnel in accordance with the applicable regulations. Installation Site Install the unit in a place where the following conditions are met: The temperature and the relative humidity of the operating environment must be within the specified limits during operation of the unit. Values specified are applicable to the air inlets of the unit. Condensation may not be present during operation. If the unit is installed in a location subject to large variations of ambient temperature (e.g. in an OB‐van), appropriate precautions must be taken. Unobstructed air flow is essential for proper operation. Ventilation openings of the unit are a functional part of the design and must not be obstructed in any way during operation (e.g. ‐ by objects placed upon them, placement of the unit on a soft surface, or improper installation of the unit within a rack or piece of furniture). The unit must not be unduly exposed to external heat sources (direct sunlight, spot lights). Ambient Temperature Units and systems by FiberPlex are generally designed for an ambient temperature range (i.e. temperature of the incoming air) of +5...+40 °C. When rack mounting the units, the following facts must be considered: The permissible ambient temperature range for operation of the semiconductor components is 0 °C to +70 °C (commercial temperature range for operation). The air flow through the installation must allow exhaust air to remain cooler than 70 °C at all times. Average temperature increase of the cooling air shall be about 20 C°, allowing for an additional maximum 10 C° increase at the hottest components. If the cooling function of the installation must be monitored (e.g. for fan failure or illumination with spot lamps), the exhaust air temperature must be measured directly above the modules at several places within the enclosure. Grounding and Power Supply Grounding of units with mains supply (class I equipment) is performed via the protective earth (PE) conductor integrated in three pin Phoenix™ connector. Units with battery operation (< 60 V, class III equipment) must be earthed separately. Grounding the unit is one of the measures for protection against electrical shock hazard (dangerous body currents). Hazardous voltage may not only be caused by defective power supply insulation, but may also be introduced by the connected audio or control cables. This equipment may require the use of a different line cord, attachment plug, or both, depending on the available power source at installation. If the attachment plug needs to be changed, refer servicing to qualified personnel. ... -

Page 4: Getting Started
Introduction Complementing the flexibility of the FiberPlex ‘TD Series’ of fiber optic modules, the TTM provides connection, mounting, power, and cable management for up to 6 front facing TD modules in a compact and rugged Truss Mountable aluminum enclosure. Each of the 16 channels of the modular TTM front panel can accommodate any Neutrik™ D Series connector, LC and ST barrel connectors, DB9 connectors, etc. The unused positions are simply filled by inserting blank panels. Additionally, the TTM has 4 additional modular channels on the rear of the unit for greater flexibility. The rear connectors allow for cable attachment in opposing directions without worrying about bending the fiber‐optic cables, while also helping to keep the cabling neat and organized. The integrated key‐hole mounting holes on the bottom of the TD units lock securely on mating studs while a rear retention bar holds them securely in place. A 6 position power wiring harness and included power adapter provide power and a positive earth ground to the modules via 3 position Phoenix™ locking power connectors. Managing all that cabling and fiber can be tedious; the TTM allows a simple solution to put maximum capacity and flexibility into a single truss mounted unit. Key Features Provides mounting and power for up to 6 single wide TD Series modules, or up to 2 double wide and 2 single wide modules Perfect for connecting to truss mounted equipment Accommodates up to 16 connector positions Plates available for standard Neutrik™ D Series connectors, LC and ST barrels, DE‐9, etc Reconfigure in minutes Securely seats modules with positive retention bar Integrated AC power supply and wiring harness included Convenient cable tray for clean installation Getting Started Initial Inspection Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for damage. The container should be retained until the shipment has been checked for completeness and the equipment has been checked mechanically and electrically. If the shipment is incomplete, if there is mechanical damage, or if the unit fails to operate notify FiberPlex and make the shipping materials available for the carrier's inspection. Chassis Mounting The TTM can be opened by unscrewing the two thumbscrews along the latch, and swinging the chassis open about the hinges. To prevent pinching injury, keep fingers away from the open edges when closing the chassis. ... -

Mounting Options Figure 1 Truss Mount using Cheeseborough Clamps (not included) Figure 2 Portable "Drop Box" ... - Page 6 Features Figure 3: TTM Open TTM Enclosure – The hinged trays of the TTM are made from rugged aluminum and neatly fold closed, 1 giving it a low profile while mounted to a truss. The unit has 6 pairs of studs pressed into the base to mate with the keyholes on TD‐Series modules. FiberPlex TD‐Series Modules (Not Included) – The TTM can accommodate up to 6 TD‐Series modules or 2 two double‐wide modules and two additional single‐wide modules. Retention Bar & Retention Screws – Once the TD‐Series modules are securely seated on the 3 4 pressed studs, the retention bar slides in behind them to secure the modules tightly in place. Two retention screws are then tightened to hold the bar. Cable Tie Down – Six tie‐wrap bases are affixed within the enclosure to allow for clean management of 5 cabling to the TD‐Series modules. Tie‐wraps can be used to secure cable bundles against the rear and inside hinge face to prevent pinching of the cable when closing the assembly. Back Shell Relief – The bar provides clearance notches for the Phoenix™ back shells installed on the 6 wiring harness or individual power connections. These relief cuts also ease insertion of the power connections while the retention bar is in place. Power Supply Box – The AC‐DC converter, a ground pin, and the AC wiring are completely contained 7 within the power supply box to prevent electrocution. This high‐efficiency power unit can supply enough power to run all six TD modules at full load and provides over‐current, over‐voltage, and short circuit protection. ...
