Installation

CLASS 1

LASER

PRODUCT

NOTE: AJA does not support use of any SFP modules other than our own; use of any non-

AJA SFP module will void the warranty.

Installation consists of the following steps:

1. Connect video equipment to the FiDO converter BNCs.

2. Connect ber to the FiDO Optical ber connectors.

Caution! Single-Mode (1310 nm) and CWDM FiDO devices require the use of “single

mode 1310nm compatible” ber optic cable.

Warning! Active ber-optic cables emit radiation invisible to the human eye. Do

not look directly at the end of an active ber-optic cable or the ber connector
on a FiDO-T-12G, FiDO-2T-12G, FiDO-TR-12G, ; these models are Class 1 Laser
Products.

3. FiDO-2T-12G, FiDO-2R-12G, and FiDO-TR-12G require either a duplex LC
cable or two simplex LC cables. Insert each connector until it latches.

Figure 1. FiDO to Duplex LC Example

4. FiDO-T-12G and FiDO-R-12G require a single simplex LC cable connected to
the optical port on the converter pointed to by the arrow (Optical Output
on FiDO-T-12G, or Optical Input on FiDO-R-12G).

NOTE: Fiber optic interconnections can be severely compromised by dirt, oils, or other

contaminants. All dust caps should be replaced on cables and equipment
whenever FiDO converters are disconnected from fiber optic cables.

5. Apply +5VDC power to the converter (AJA power supply included).

Operation

FiDO series converters have no user controls. No configuration or settings are
required. Once powered, the FiDO converters will begin converting applied fiber/
SDI signals.

Warning! Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-

type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.

Avertissement! La sécurité de la prise polarisée ou de la prise de type mise à la

terre ne doit en aucun cas être empêchée de fonctionner. Une prise polarisée
a deux broches, l'une étant plus large que l'autre. Une prise de type mise à la
terre a deux broches et une troisième broche pour la mise à la terre. La broche
large ou la troisième broche sont fournies pour votre sécurité. Si la prise
fournie ne s'insère pas dans votre prise femelle, consultez un électricien pour le
remplacement de la prise femelle obsolète.

Warnung! Der Sicherheitszweck des gepolten bzw. Schukosteckers ist zu

berücksichtigen. Ein gepolter Stecker verfügt über zwei Pole, von denen einer
breiter als der andere ist. Ein Schukostecker verfügt neben den zwei Polen noch
über einen dritten Pol zur Erdung. Der breite Pol bzw. der Erdungspol dienen der
Sicherheit. Wenn der zur Verfügung gestellte Stecker nicht in Ihren Anschluss
passt, konsultieren Sie einen Elektriker, um den veralteten Anschluss zu ersetzen.

¡Advertencia! No eche por tierra la nalidad del tipo de enchufe polarizado con

conexión a tierra. Un enchufe polarizado tiene dos espigas, una más ancha
que la otra. Un enchufe con conexión a tierra tiene dos espigas iguales y una
tercera espiga que sirve para la conexión a tierra. La expiga ancha, o la tercera
espiga, sirven para su seguridad. Si el enchufe suministrado no encaja en el
tomacorriente, consulte con un electricista para reemplazar el tomacorriente
obsoleto.

Aviso! Não anule a nalidade da segurança da cha polarizada ou do tipo ligação

terra. Uma cha polarizada tem duas lâminas sendo uma mais larga do que
a outra. Uma cha do tipo de ligação à terra tem duas lâminas e um terceiro
terminal de ligação à terra. A lâmina larga ou o terceiro terminal são fornecidos
para sua segurança. Se a cha fornecida não couber na sua tomada, consulte um
electricista para a substituição da tomada obsoleta.

Avviso! Non compromettere la sicurezza della spina polarizzata o con messa a

terra. Una spina polarizzata ha due spinotti, di cui uno più largo. Una spina con
messa a terra ha due spinotti e un terzo polo per la messa a terra. Lo spinotto
largo o il terzo polo sono forniti per motivi di sicurezza. Se la spina fornita non
si inserisce nella presa di corrente, contattare un elettricista per la sostituzione
della presa obsoleta.

remain readily accessible and operable.

Avertissement! Puisque la prise principale est utilisée pour débrancher l'appareil,

elle doit rester aisément accessible et fonctionnelle.

Warnung! Da der Netzstecker als Trennvorrichtung dient, muss er stets zugänglich
