CONNECTIONS  
Before mounting the FT8301A transmitter, note the following transmitter connections (refer to  
Figure 3):  
Power connection  
NOTES:  
A 12 VDC or 24 VAC power supply can be used to power the transmitter. A 12 VDC  
power supply is provided. If a 24 VAC power supply is used, the power supply must be a  
Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked as Class 2 and rated as 24 VAC, 200 mA  
(minimum output).  
In extreme temperature conditions, it is recommended that an industrial-rated outdoor  
power supply such as the Pelco WCS1-4 power supply be used.  
Fiber connection  
Video input connection (UTP or BNC per channel)  
NOTE: When connecting to the UTP connector, it is recommended that solid UTP wire rather  
than stranded UTP wire be used. If stranded UTP wire is used, it is recommended that you tin  
the stranded wire.

MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER INTO AN EH2515 SERIES  
ENCLOSURE  
The following procedure provides instructions to mount the FT8301A transmitter into an existing  
EH2515 Series enclosure installation.  
To mount the transmitter into an EH2515 Series enclosure, do the following:  
1. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the left and right wall-mounting brackets that are  
attached to the transmitter by loosening the four 4-40 x 0.25-inch Phillips pan head screws  
(two screws each side).  
2. Using the EH2500 bracket and the two 4-40 x 0.187-inch Phillips flat head screws supplied in  
the EH2500 accessory kit, attach the bracket to the transmitter (refer to Figure 5). Note that  
the transmitter must be positioned at an angle within the bracket.  
3. Disconnect power to the enclosure.  
4. Remove the camera sled from the enclosure by doing the following:  
a. Using a 5/64-inch hex wrench, loosen the screws on the back of the enclosure.  
b. Pull the “T” handle until heater wiring connectors, if present, are visible, and then  
disconnect the heater wiring connectors.  
WARNING: Damage to the heater wires can occur if the sled is pulled out too far  
before the wiring connectors are separated.  
c.  
Slide the camera sled out of the enclosure.  
5. Disconnect power wires and video cable from the connectors on the camera.  
6. Mount the EH2500 bracket and attached transmitter into the enclosure by doing the following  
(refer to Figure 6):  
a. Position the EH2500 bracket onto the camera sled so that the connectors on the  
transmitter face the camera.  
b. Attach the EH2500 bracket to the camera sled using the 10-32 x 0.375-inch Phillips pan  
head screw and lock washer supplied in the EH2500 accessory kit.

you can loop the cable underneath the lens; then route the cable back along the  
other side of the camera toward the fiber optic connector on the transmitter (refer  
to Figure 7).  
(2) Connect the cable to the fiber optic connector on the transmitter.  
c.  
Using the coaxial cable supplied with the transmitter, connect the cable to the BNC  
connector on the transmitter and on the camera.  
NOTE: For additional information about connections to the transmitter, refer to the Connections  
section.  
8. Reconnect power to the camera.  
9. If applicable, reconnect the heater wires of the enclosure.

The following procedure provides instructions to mount the FT8301A transmitter into an existing DF5/  
DF8 in-ceiling dome installation.  
To mount the transmitter into a DF5/DF8 in-ceiling dome, do the following:  
1. Mount the DF5/DF8 bracket to the transmitter (refer to the Mounting the DF5/DF8 Bracket to  
the Transmitter section).  
2. Disconnect power to the DF5/DF8 dome.  
3. Feed fiber optic cable through the conduit fitting of the dome into the back box.  
WARNING: When routing the fiber optic cable, be careful not to bend the fiber at a  
sharp angle. Doing so breaks the fiber.  
4. Feed the power cable for the transmitter through the conduit fitting of the dome into the back  
box.  
5. Remove the lower dome from the back box.  
6. Disconnect the power wires and video cable from the connectors on the camera.  
7. Using a 7/16-inch wrench, remove the tilt bracket and attached camera from the back box. To  
do so, loosen the nut on the stud of the tilt bracket, and, while holding the camera securely,  
remove the nut and associated flat washer and lock washer from the stud (refer to Figure 16).  
NOTE: In Figure 16, the pan bracket is removed from the back box for illustration purposes only.  
You do not need to remove the pan bracket from the back box.

NOTE: In Figure 17, the pan bracket is removed from the back box for illustration purposes only.  
You do not need to remove the pan bracket from the back box.  
a. Do either of the following:  
If the dome is a DF5 dome, align the inner slot of the DF5/DF8 bracket with the slot  
in the pan bracket of the back box.  
If the dome is a DF8 dome, align the outer slot of the DF5/DF8 bracket with the  
slot in the pan bracket of the back box.  
b. Place the camera into the back box at the desired viewing angle.  
c.  
Insert the stud on the tilt bracket into the aligned slots of the pan bracket and the DF5/  
DF8 bracket.  
d. Reinstall the flat washer, lock washer, and nut on the stud of the tilt bracket but do not  
tighten the nut.  
e. Adjust the viewing angle of the camera as necessary.  
f.  
Tighten the nut on the stud of the tilt bracket using the 7/16-inch wrench.

a. Connect power to the transmitter.  
b. Route the fiber optic cable around the inside of the back box toward the transmitter and  
connect the cable to the fiber optic connector on the transmitter.  
WARNING: When routing the fiber optic cable, be careful not to bend the fiber  
at a sharp angle. Doing so breaks the fiber.  
c.  
Using the coaxial cable supplied with the transmitter, connect the cable to the BNC  
connector on the transmitter and on the camera.  
NOTE: For additional information about connections to the transmitter, refer to the Connections  
section.  
10. Reconnect power to the camera.  
11. Reattach the lower dome to the back box.  
12. Reconnect power to the DF5/DF8 dome.

Mounting the Transmitter into a DF5/DF8 Pendant Dome  
The following procedure provides instructions to mount the FT8301A transmitter into an existing DF5/  
DF8 pendant dome installation.  
To mount the transmitter into a DF5/DF8 pendant dome, do the following:  
1. Mount the DF5/DF8 bracket to the transmitter (refer to the Mounting the DF5/DF8 Bracket to  
the Transmitter section).  
2. Disconnect power to the DF5/DF8 dome.  
3. Feed the fiber optic cable through the wiring entrance of the dome into the back box.  
WARNING: When routing the fiber optic cable, be careful not to bend the fiber at a  
sharp angle. Doing so breaks the fiber.  
4. Feed the power cable for the transmitter through the wiring entrance of the dome into the  
back box.  
5. Remove the lower dome from the back box.  
6. Disconnect the power wires and video cable from the connectors on the camera.  
7. Using a 7/16-inch wrench, remove the tilt bracket and attached camera from the back box. To  
do so, loosen the nut on the stud of the tilt bracket and, while holding the camera securely,  
remove the nut and associated flat washer and lock washer from the stud (refer to Figure 18).  
NOTE: In Figure 18, the pan bracket is removed from the back box for illustration purposes only.

*The FT8301A transmitter and compatible receivers are classified by the FDA as Class 1 laser products.  
When using 50/125 µm multimode fiber, subtract 3 dB from the optical power budget.  
††Maximum transmission distance is limited by fiber bandwidth.  
§ Maximum transmission distance is based on attenuation of 0.5 dB/km plus a 5 dB buffer for connector  
and splice losses.  
NOTES:  
For conformal coated models, replace the first letter F in the model number with the letter C.  
The conformal coated version of FT8301AMST, for example, is CT8301AMST.  
For models with higher optical power budgets, contact the factory.
