Connect a fiber base unit to a receiver

Use coaxial cables to connect the outputs (RF1 and RF2) from the base unit to the BNC connectors on the back of a Real Freedom Receiver (RF1 and RF2).

The distance between the receiver and base unit should be kept to a minimum to maintain a strong signal.
Important: When connecting a fiber base unit to the Real Freedom Receiver, the coaxial connections must be made to sequential RF input pairs on the receiver (for example, RF1/RF2 or RF3/RF4 or RF5/RF6 or RF7/RF8) when operated in single (normal) pedestal mode. When operated in dual pedestal (single stream) mode, the connections from the fiber base to the receiver must be (RF2/RF4 or RF6/RF8).

When an incorrect connection is made, the receiver’s Connection Map will not populate correctly and the RX1 and RX2 blue LEDs on the fiber base unit will flash to indicate that correct communication has not been established between the fiber base and receiver.
