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.

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.

1. Attach the Bay Tracer Electronic Sensor Device mounting bracket to the top cross member or vertical support flange of the DSX-1 or DSX-3 bay using two provided 12– 24 rack mounting-screws. See Figure 2.

2. Two sensor cabling options are provided for detecting a change in current on the –48 Vdc power conductor(s) feeding the bay. If the bay is configured with DSX-only equipment (option A), proceed to step 2a. If the bay is configured with a mix of DSX and non-DSX equipment (option B), proceed to step 2b.

a. Unsnap the top bar of the inductive pick-up coil. Insert the main DSX-1 or DSX-3

–48 Vdc power conductor into the inductive pick-up coil as shown in Figure 3, making sure that the label side of the coil faces toward the power source. Snap the top bar back into place after inserting the power feed wire. Anchor the power conductor to the inductive pick-up coil with a tie wrap or lacing cord in accordance with local practice.

b. Unsnap the top bar of the inductive pick-up coil. Insert the –48 Vdc conductors for the

DSX-only equipment into the inductive pick-up coil as shown in Figure 4, making sure that the label side of the coil faces toward the power source. Snap the top bar back into place after inserting the power feed wire(s). Anchor the power conductor(s) to the inductive pick-up coil with a tie wrap or lacing cord in accordance with local practice.

4 OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

The electronic sensor device LED may be falsely activated by external EMI emitted by power drills, wire wrap guns, or other AC powered devices located within 12 inches of the inductive pick-up coil. If such a condition occurs, the electronic sensor device automatically resets after the change in current state and returns to a constant dc state.

5 TROUBLESHOOTING

The LED on the bay tracer electronic sensor device is designed to light whenever an individual jack LED is activated on a DSX bay configured with the device. Table 2 provides a description of common error conditions that may occur due to improper installation.

CONDITION DESCRIPTION

Battery return conductor inserted into coil LED activates when jack is removed

Labeled side of coil is facing away from the power source

Both –48 Vdc and battery return conductors are inserted into the coil

–48 Vdc and battery return conductors are mis-wired on POWER connector
