INTRODUCTION
This guide describes the ADC DSX Bay Tracer Illuminator option used in large DSX-1 or
DSX-3 environments to enable technicians to locate far end LED tracer lamps more quickly.
The Bay Tracer Illuminator option consists of a stand-alone electronic sensor device that
mounts on the top of a DSX-1 or DSX-3 bay, and an inductive pick-up coil that mounts on
one or more –48 Vdc power input conductors feeding the bay fuse panel. Power to operate the
Bay Tracer Illuminator option is obtained from a branch of the same –48 Vdc central office
source that powers the components in the DSX-1 or DSX-3 bay.

An LED mounted on the Bay Tracer Electronic Sensor Device provides a large, bright, easily
observable, visual indication whenever an individual jack LED is activated on a DSX bay. This
allows a technician to identify the far end bay so that a scan can be performed to identify the
specific jack LED that has been activated. The indicator flashes for a nominal period of 70–90
seconds following jack activation to allow sufficient time to scan a 6
After the 70–90 second flashing cycle, the LED on the Bay Tracer Electronic Sensor Device is
extinguished and reset in preparation for the next tracer event. The individual DSX jack LED lit
by the activation flashes for 30 seconds and stays lit in a steady on state until a switch deactivation occurs. Individual jack LEDs are not affected by Bay Tracer Illuminator operation.

Admonishments
Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards
to persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains
what may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use
of the triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of
injury or damage and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Certification
The product described in this manual has been tested and found to comply with the requirements
of UL 1863 and CSA C22.2 No. 225.

1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Electronic circuitry in the Bay Tracer sensor checks for a change in current on one or more
–48 Vdc power conductors on the DSX-1 or DSX-3 fuse panel caused by an individual jack
insertion on the far end bay and uses this change to activate an LED. The change in current is
detected by a clamp-on inductive pick-up coil encircling the –48 Vdc power conductor(s)
attached to the DSX fuse panel of the device being monitored. A two-conductor 8-foot (20.32
cm) trailing sensor cable attached to the inductive pick-up coil is used to transmit a signal to the
sensor. A customer supplied two-conductor (–48 Vdc and battery return) power cable is used to
transmit power from the fuse panel on the back of the DSX-1 or DSX-3 bay to the sensor.

3 INSTALLATION
The ADC Bay Tracer Electronic Sensor is designed to be installed on the top cross-member or
left/right vertical support flanges of the bay. The sensor and power cabling for the device must
be routed over the top of the bay as shown in Figure 1.
