Easy Installation

Simply by Plug and Play, the installation of the VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT media conversion is quite easy. They can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET Media Converter Chassis (MC-700, MC-1500 and MC-1500R). When working with the media converter chassis, the media converter chassis provides DC power to VF-101G/102G/106G-T or VF-101G/102G/106G-R to maintain the video over fiber-optic transmission system at the central location.

Plug & Play Stable and Easy to Use

1.3 Application

The VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT consists of 1 channel video over fiber optic transceiver and receiver to transmit video and RS485

signal through a reliable single mode or single fiber link. It is an ideal cost-effective solution for surveillance system that requires high display quality and high-performance signal transmission over long distances. The VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT can be installed easily by way of “Plug and Play”, meaning the operator does not need to configure the pair of the video over fiber transmission in advance.

The transmitter and receiver can work as standalone or can be slotted into a rack-mountable media converter chassis. The flexible and maintenance-free design fits in with different installation environments. With one VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT, video cameras can be deployed over a distance of up to 20km, which ideally suits the following applications:

● Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
- Toll Collection
- Traffic Surveillance
● Air Traffic Management (ATM)
- Rail Signaling
● Perimeter Alarms and Area Monitors
● Telemedicine and Teleconference
- Industrial Surveillance
- Intelligent Buildings

Note

1. The device is a power-required device, meaning it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should be active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime.

2. In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your converter from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the converter or the power adapter.

- Fiber Interface

Item Description
FIBER/OPT FC-type fiber interface.

Note

After the VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT is powered on, wait for at least 15 seconds before connecting the connector to the optical fiber port or else the connector may be damaged or you may get an electric shock.

Chapter 3. Installation

This section describes how to install your VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT Video over Fiber and make connections to the converter. Please read the following sections and perform the procedures in the order being presented. The hardware installation of PLANET VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT Video over Fiber Converter does not need software configuration.

3.1 Limitation

The converter does not require any software configuration. Users can immediately use any feature of this product simply by plugging in the cable and powering it on. There is some key limitation on the video over fiber converter. Please check the following items:

• The device is used for Point-to-Point connection only (transmitter to receiver) and allows video and data to work on the same optical fiber patch cord.
• The BNC connector supports 75 ohm cable. The maximum distance will change by the quality of coaxial cables.

3.2 Preparation before Installing

In order to ensure your normal use, please make sure that you are using the right optical path, right signal, good power grounding, and so on. We guarantee all of our products are subject to strict test and aging, and we simulate field environment operation tests. Please contact us if there is any problem.

(1) Please carefully read the user manual of the product before installing.

(2) Please carefully read the safety instructions.
(3) Optical transceiver equipment shall not be disassembled by anyone without authorization.
(4) Check the product model tag stuck outside the cabinet to prevent incorrect installation.

(3) Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Converter Chassis with supplied screws attached to the package.
(4) After the brackets are attached to the Converter Chassis, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack.
(5) Connect the video and fiber cabling, and supply power to your Converter Chassis.

3.5 Optional DIN-rail Installation

There are two DIN-rail holes on the left side of the VF-101G/102G/106G-T or VF-101G/102G/106G-R that allows the converter to be easily installed with DIN-rail mounting. PLANET optional DIN-rail mounting kit - RKE-DIN - can be ordered separately. When the wall mount application needs to be replaced with the DIN-rail application for the VF-101G/102G/106G-T or VF-101G/102G/106G-R, please refer to the following figures to attach the DIN-rail to the converter. To hang the VF-101G/102G/106G-T or VF-101G/102G/106G-R on the DIN-rail, follow the steps below:

(1) Screw the DIN-rail on the VF-101G/102G/106G-T or VF-101G/102G/106G-R.

PLANT

(2) Lightly press and push the DIN-rail into the track.

PLANT

(3) Check whether the DIN-rail is tightly on the track.

Note

You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.

Chapter 4. Precautions

(1) Insert fiber correctly into the fiber interface; try not to apply too much force to avoid breaking the fiber. The rolling diameter cannot be less than 20cm.
(2) Fasten the retaining screw after connecting terminal blocks.
(3) Do not remove the dust cap before installation. Make sure to prevent dirt and other things from getting into port or else the loss of optical signal will be increased and the transmission quality will be affected.
(4) Note that optical transceiver matches well when installing device so as to avoid work obstruction because of a different optical power, data interface and transmission distance. Pay attention to the differences of transmitter and receiver.
(5) Data interface is terminal block. To ensure good contact, it is required to insert interface after thinning. Please use good-quality stranded and shielded copper core, such as Belden, etc.

Chapter 5. Power Information

The central post of the power jack of the VF-101G/102G/106G-T or VF-101G/102G/106G-R measures 2.5mm, and +5V DC/2A power input is required. It conforms to the bundled AC-DC adapter and Planet's Media Converter Chassis. If you have a power connection issue, please contact your local sales representative.

Please keep the AC-DC adapter as a spare item when your VF-101G/102G/106G is installed to a Media Converter Chassis.

Chapter 6. Troubleshooting

Q1: [VF-101G-KIT/VF-102G-KIT/VF-106G-KIT] Why didn't the monitor display anything or DVR record anything after the analog camera, VF-10xG-KIT and cables are well connected?

A: 1. Check the corresponding devices:

• The analog camera should connect to the VF-10xG-T – the video transmitter.
• The monitor / DVR should connect to the VF-10xG-R – the video receiver.

When you do the reverse way, the connection cannot be established.

1. Check the link status LED:

2. Check the cable connections of coaxial and fiber patch cord, and make sure both VIDEO and LINK LEDs are lit.

3. The optical interface of the VF-10xG-KIT is a single mode and single fiber bi-directional transceiver, and make sure the fiber patch cord applies to 9/125um single mode.

Q2: [VF-101G-KIT/VF-102G-KIT/VF-106G-KIT] Can the VF-10xG-KIT connect to other optic device to extend the deployment distance? For example, the Media Converter or Fiber Optic Switch.

A: No, the VF-10xG-T and VF-10xG-R must be used in pairs. Although the VF-10xG-KIT uses a 1000Mbps single mode transceiver as its optical interface, the encoded/ decoded video data does not comply with IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-X, so the packets are not able to be forwarded by media converters or fiber switches.

Q3: [VF-101G-KIT/VF-102G-KIT/VF-106G-KIT] Why did the monitor connected to HDVR display show black and white video?

A: The VF-10xG-KIT supports AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS video. Please make sure your camera is set as AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS mode and adjust the HDVR to a corresponding mode. For example, set the camera and HDVR as an AHD mode.
