TROUBLESHOOTING

• Please make sure that the wire is working properly. Most of the issues do come up from the incor-
rect termination. Please refer to the link below for connection termination:

• It is very important to keep the connections clean as greasy spots or dust can bring the transmission

down.

• We recommend to use Multimode 62.5, 125 Micron or 50 Micron Fiber. The 50 Micron is considered
better for the distance.

• If the POWER indicator is OFF, check for the following:
a. The line cord is plugged into the unit and your outlet has power.

• If the POWER indicator is ON, but the Optical Link indicator is OFF, check for the following:

s receiver (RX).

• If the POWER indicator and Optical Link indicator are ON, but the audio/video channels are not
operating, then:
a. Check to see that the attached user equipment is turned on.

b. Both ends of the link are connected to the corresponding equipment and to the same correspond­ ing channel port.
c. Cable connections at both the video/audio channels are securely fastened to each connector.
Turn the power off, then back on to reset the link.

TERMINAL BLOCK PIN-OUT

AUDIO

one stereo channel is transmitted in each direction.

To send audio signals, label and connect two cables to the “AUDIO OUTPUT” connectors of the line
level audio source. Connect the other end of the cables to the front panel terminal block connectors
labeled “AUDIO IN”. For stereo channels, be sure to match the cables at both ends (L to L, R to R).

To receive audio signals, at the far-end location, label and connect two twisted shielded pair cables to
the “AUDIO INPUT” connectors of the line level audio receiver. Connect the other end of the cables to
the front panel terminal block connectors labeled “AUDIO OUT”. If using stereo channels, be sure to
match the cables at both ends. (L to L, R to R).

SERIAL DATA AND IR DATA INTERFACE

The transmitter transmits two channels of unbalanced data signals. Follow the procedures for install­ing data terminal devices.

1. Label and connect one RS232 cable to the user’s RS-232 device.

2. Connect the other end of this cable to the front panel data terminal block connector (as displayed
on the picture above)

The transmitter transmits one (1) channel of IR data signal. Use the following steps for IR connection.

1. For the source side, (transmitter unit) connect IR Emitter cable to the IR connection.

2. For the monitor side (receiver unit), connect IR pick-up cable to the IR connection.
