Series FT/FR-8W2D/2D-x products are two-slot wide cards and, as such, occupy two 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-8W2D/2D-x series products transmit and receive the following signals: Signal Type Channels Transmit Receive NTSC/PAL/SECAM video FT-8W2D/2D-x FR-8W2D/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 &...
5.0 Signal Conditioning Switch/Jumper Settings The sections below illustrate how to change the various contact mapping conditions. For jumper and switch locations see Figure 5.2 5.1 Data Selection jumpers There are four (4) 3-pin jumpers located directly behind the RJ45 front-panel mounted connector.
RS-232 data (Switch #1-2 OFF (up)). Data Format Selection Switch #1 Switch #2 RS-232 OFF (up) OFF (up) Switches 3 and 4 should set by Meridian technician. The illustration below describes the function of each of these switches. Page 9...

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.
