3. Connect the MPD 800 acquisition unit to MCU2 using fiber-optic cables.
Note: Use either FO1 or FO2 connector for the connection to MCU2. FO3 connector plugs are color-
coded. It is used for the connection to an additional MPD 600 acquisition unit.
Note: The delivered fiber-optic cable has a push-pull locking mechanism. To connect the fiber-optic
cable, hold the MPD 800 acquisition unit in one hand and insert the fiber-optic plug with the guide rail
on the top into the socket and push it until the mechanism is locked in place with a click. To disconnect
the fiber-optic cable, pull the front ring of the plug back and remove the whole plug.

4. Connect RBP1 to the MPD 800 acquisition unit using the battery cable. The red LED at the MPD 800
acquisition unit starts flashing, indicating that the acquisition unit is ready for operation.
Note: Position the MPD 800/RBP1 units on insulating ground to ensure maximum sturdiness. Make
sure that RBP1 is always placed on the top of the MPD 800 acquisition unit.
5. Connect CPL1 or CPL2 to the MPD 800 acquisition unit. Use two short BNC cables and connect the
PD and AC outputs of CPL1 to the PD and AC inputs of the MPD 800 acquisition unit.
