2400ODU Integrated Outdoor RF Fiber Transport System CAUTION If the LNB POWER LED is on or flashing on any of the 2408LT’s, there will be DC voltage for LNB power at the associated RF 1-4 connector on the bottom of the unit.
2400ODU Integrated Outdoor RF Fiber Transport System OVERVIEW The 2400ODU provides a convenient, pre-integrated package for fiber transport of Satellite, OTA DTV and other signals within the extended L-Band range and below. Contained in a compact, weatherproof enclosure are up to four 2408LT fiber optic transmitters and a 2400PSU-8 power supply.

The 2400ODU comes with mounting brackets pre-installed. Be sure to choose appropriate fasteners suitable for the surface/material on which the 2400ODU is to be mounted. Also ensure that the fasteners are strong enough to support the 2400ODU’s weight. The mounting hole locations and dimensional information of the 2400ODU are illustrated in Figure 1-1: 9.2"...
2400ODU Integrated Outdoor RF Fiber Transport System When choosing a mounting location, it is recommended that the 2400ODU be positioned such that it is out of direct sunlight for the duration of the day. Solar heat gain caused by direct sunlight can significantly raise the interior temperatures of the 2400ODU over the temperature rise incurred by ambient air temperatures alone.
As standard, the 2400ODU is equipped, from the factory, with a NEMA5-15R duplex receptacle and junction box. When the 2400ODU is equipped with the +IEC option, the unit is intended for applications outside of North America. When equipped with this option, the 2400PSU-8 is included with a pair of male IEC320 power inlets and the NEMA5-15R receptacle is not installed.
In this case, the incoming power feeds(s) to the 2400ODU should be terminated with IEC320 female connector(s). If a single power feed is to be provided to the 2400ODU, a two-position power strip should be used to provide a dual power connection to a single source. Wiring should be protected by appropriately sized upstream circuit breaker(s).
2.4. FIBER CONNECTIONS On the bottom of the 2400ODU, a ¾” (19mm) hole is provided for landing conduit for fiber optic cable. From the factory, a watertight plug is installed in the hole, which may be removed for cable installation.
2408LT units 1 and 3. Figure 2-8 illustrates fiber cable routing and connection to the 2408LT’s. Figure 2-8: 2400ODU Swing Panel Fiber Cable Routing 2.5.
2400ODU Integrated Outdoor RF Fiber Transport System 2.5.2. Assembly Assembly or repair of the laser sub-module is done only at Evertz facility and performed only by Evertz technical personnel. 2.5.3. Labeling Certification and Identification labels are combined into one label.
3.1. LIGHTNING SUPRESSORS The lightning supressors are located inside the 2400ODU, directly opposite and integral to the external RF connections. These supressors contain gas tubes that may be replaced after a lightning strike or other surge. The gas tube itself is located behind the threaded access cover.
Installation of the replacement module is the reverse process of above. If a 2400ODU model was purchased without being fully populated with 2408LT fiber transmitters (max four pieces per 2400ODU), additional transmitters may be easily added at any time. Expansion kits are available from Evertz which contain the fiber transmitter and the required cabling and hardware for installation.
