Series FT/FR-4W2D/2D-x products are one-slot wide cards and, as such, occupy one slot in Meridian’s standard chassis. To install in these chassis, orient the card with the Meridian logo at the top of the module and slide onto the top and bottom card guides in the chassis.
3.0 Product Signal Format & Specifications The FT/FR-4W2D/2D-x series products transmit and receive the following signals: Signal Type Channels Transmit Receive NTSC/PAL/SECAM video 1 to 4 FT-4W2D/2D-x FR-4W2D/2D-x RS-232 (Tx & Rx data) The tables below identify the specifications for the various signals that these modems transmit/receive.
4.0 Data Connector Pin Assignment and Status indicators The RS-232 channel is used for transmitting/receiving two channels of 2-wire RS-232 (Tx/Rx) Data Connector Pinout Assignment Pin # RS-232 Ch 1 INPUT (RD) Ch 2 INPUT (DTR) Ch 1 OUTPUT (TD) Ch 2 OUTPUT (DSR) GROUND The figures 4.1 &...

Remote Loopback Tests (SW6) -These tests will test all of the bi-directional data and contact closures installed on the module associated with the remote loopback test. Obviously, the channels that can be tested are determined by the type of channels associated with the particular module under test.

order to perform the Transmit tests. When testing the data channels, it is necessary that the data formats for both the modules be set the same (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485) The Transmit Test switch (SW7) on the module initiating the test must be in the ON (down) position Test switches (SW5-10) on the local unit must be in the OFF (up) position This test overrides any external data that may be at the input terminals of the unit...

The receive test will perform diagnostic tests on all of the channels integrated in the module using the module’s own internal test signals. The internal frequency/data rate of the various internal tests is as follows: Data - 1Hz square wave Contact closure - 1Hz square wave Once the Receive test switch on the FT or FR module is switched ON, the above signals sent to the appropriate electrical outputs on the same module.

Loss of video sync error: will display the message “No Video Sync” Loss of Optional signal error: will display – “No Optical Fiber” This procedure concludes the testing of the video/data/contact channels within Meridian’s DigiCool (1-slot) fiber optic digitally-encoded transmission modules.
Module does not fit in chassis slots Action: Check module orientation. Meridian “Globe” must be oriented on the top left hand side of the module. Make sure the card guides in the chassis are aligned with the extrusion on the module.

(see section 5.0 for switch settings). Confirm that the data connections are correct (see section 4.0 for data pinout connections). Check to ensure that the data source is operating properly. If the problem still persists after reviewing the above items, please contact Meridian technical support (516- 285-1000). Notes:...
