OVERVIEW
The IFS VT/VR1500 Series video and data transceiver supports
the simultaneous transmission of video and one-way return data
over one or two multimode optical fibers. The module is universally
compatible with major CCTV camera manufacturers and supports
RS-232 and RS-422 data interfaces and all major data protocols.
Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation requiring no
electrical or optical adjustments. The modules incorporate power,
video presence, optional contact closure, data out, and AGC
status indicating LED’s to monitor proper system operation. The
VR1500WDM-CC features an optional contact closure input that
allows an additional device such as a dome tamper switch or alarm
input to be added and its signal transmitted back to the monitoring
location. This feature eliminates the need for installing additional
wiring to support the alarm contact closure. The modules are
available in either stand-alone or rack mount versions.
