specified for each installation. The harness can be supplied by
MRC, or it is often supplied by the van integrator.
2.6 Configuration Options
MRC is constantly working to expand and upgrade the
capabilities of the MTX5000. Consult your Sales Representative
or contact the factory for the latest information.
2.6.1 IDU Configurations
Your MTX5000 IDU consists of an MPEG encoder, a COFDM
modulator, and an analog FMT module.
2.6.2 AC Power
The MTX5000 IDU operates on the following AC power:
• 120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Fuse ratings for the AC power sources are listed in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1: AC Fuse Ratings
Operating Voltage Fuse Rating
120 VAC, 50/60 Hz 3.0A SB 250V 3AG or 5 x 20 mm
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz 1.5A SB 250V 3AG or 5 x 20 mm
AC power is applied to the MTX5000 IDU, which in turn, provides
DC power to the ODU via the wiring harness between them.
Refer to the “ Installation” Chapter on page 6-1 for additional
information.
2.6.3 Remote Control Options
For portable mobile operations, the MTX5000 system may be
controlled using either a Windows-based laptop PC or by the
optional Windows-based Remote Access Subnotebook PC. See
Figure 2-8.
Figure 2-8: Remote Access Subnotebook PC
Using either PC eliminates the need for a separate panel-
mounted remote control panel to control the MTX5000 system.
