DATA TRANSCEIVER
The ComNet™ FDX60(M)(S)(-M) data transceivers provide point-to-point
transmission of simplex or duplex EIA RS232/RS422/RS485 (2W/4W) data
signals over one or two optical fibers. The transceivers are transparent to data
encoding allowing for broad-range compatibility. Models within this series are
available for use with multimode or single mode optical fiber.
Each transceiver incorporates a bi-color (Red/Green) indicating LED for
monitoring proper system operation. See Figure 8 on Page 6 for LED Indicator
explanations.
The FDX60(M)(S)(-M) has a built-in fiber link test feature that allows for the
testing of the fiber. See Figure 13 on Page 8 for an explanation of the Loop
Back Test Mode.
The FDX60(M)(S) may be directly plugged into the ComNet Rack (Part C1) or
they can operate as standalone modules. The FDX60(M)(S)-M has a small
footprint and is designed for surface mounting. See Figures A and B on
Page 9 for mounting instructions.
See Figures 1 – 13 for complete installation details.

FIGURE 13 – LOOP BACK TEST MODE
1. On one end (Head End), put unit into Loop Back Mode
by setting Switch 3 to “OFF.” Switch 1 and 2 can be in
any position. Data will not pass during Loop Back Test,
LEDs may flash if data is sent during Loop Back Test.
2. If the Far End unit is powered on and the fiber link
connections are correct, the Far End unit Loop Back LED
will light GREEN.
3. If the Head End unit has Switch 3 in the “ON” position,
and if there is a fiber link issue, then the Far End
unit Loop Back LED will remain OFF. This is an error
condition.
4. If the Far End unit Loop Back LED is GREEN and the
fiber link and optical connections back to the Head End
unit are correct, then the Head End unit Loop Back LED
will light GREEN.
5. If there is a fiber link issue from the Far End back to the
Head End, or the Far End unit is not working, the Head
End unit Loop Back LED will light RED when the Loop
Back switch is set to OFF. This is an error condition.
6. When not in Loop Back Test Mode the Loop Back LED
on both ends will be OFF.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This fiber-optic link is supplied as a Standalone/Rack module. Units
should be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of
temperature and humidity.
C1-US, C1-EU, C1-AU OR C1-CH CARD CAGE RACKS
CAUTION: Although the units are hot-swappable and may be installed
without turning power off to the rack, ComNet recommends that
the power supply be turned off and that the rack power supply
is disconnected from any power source. Note: Remove electrical
connector before installing in card cage rack.
1. Make sure that the card is oriented right side up, and slide it into
the card guides in the rack until the edge connector at the back
of the card seats in the corresponding slot in the rack’s connector
panel. Seating may require thumb pressure on the top and bottom
of the card’s front panel.
CAUTION:Take care not to press on any of the LEDs.
2. Tighten the two thumb screws on the card until the front panel of
the card is seated against the front of the rack.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 or LPS power supply rated
9-12 VDC @ 1A.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is
not compromised.
