Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

The Fiberlink® 3X3X Series of ber optic transmission systems are ready for
immediate use and do not require any special tools or equipment. However, an Optical
Power Meter, such as the Fiberlink® 6615, can be useful in determining optical loss budgets
during your systems design and maintenance.

The following instructions describe the typical installation procedure:

1) Connect the video source(s) to the video input(s) on the transmitter unit.

2) Connect your video output cable(s) to the video output connector(s) on the

receiver unit.

3) Connect the ber optic cable to the transmitter and receiver units.

4) Connect the power cables to the transmitter and receiver units.

5) When power is applied, the green POWER LED should illuminate, indicating the

presence of operating power. The Video LEDs will give an indication

as described in the Indicator LED’s and Alarm Circuitry section of this manual.

The transmitting element in the Fiberlink® 3134 transmitter
unit contains a solid state Laser Diode located in the optical
connector. This device emits invisible infrared electromagnetic
radiation which can be harmful to human eyes. The radiation
from this optical connector, if viewed at close range with no
ber optic cable connected to the optical connector, may be
sucient intensity to cause instantaneous damage to the
retina of the eye. Direct viewing of this radiation should be
avoided at all times!

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove the
cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualied service personnel.

When an alarm condition occurs, the red Alarm LED on the front panel will blink, the inter-

nal piezo sounder will beep and the external contacts will be activated (see Alarm Output

Settings). Switches on the front panel allow you to turn o the sounder, but the Alarm LED

will continue to blink and the external contacts will remain open until the fault is corrected.

Data Conguration Procedure

Data Congration Procedure.

The following instructions describe the typical data conguration procedure:

1) Set the rear panel DIP switches of the transmitter for the desired protocol.

See page 9 for DIP switch conguration settings.

2) Set the rear panel DIP switches of the receiver for the desired protocol.

See page 9 for DIP switch conguration settings.

3) Data terminal block positions 1 through 6 can be used as data inputs or data outputs

depending upon the protocol selected. Refer to page 10 for terminal block

conguration.

4) After the terminal blocks have been wire appropriately, plug them into the rear panel

connectors labels DATA/ALARM on both the transmitter and receiver units.

5) If there is no ber optic cable connecting the transmitter and receiver at this time,

connect an optical cable to both the transmitter and receiver units at this time.

5) Turn on the power for both the transmitter and receiver units. When power is applied

the green POWER LED on each unit will illuminate.

If data is present, the transmitter’s TX LED and the receiver’s RX LED will illuminate.

If a ber optic cable is connected to both the transmitter and receiver but there is no

data present, both the transmitter’s TX LED and the receiver’s RX LED will remain o.

If you feel this is in error check the data SIP switch settings for your desired protocal

on both the receiver and the transmitter units then verify the wiring of the data

terminal blocks.

Operating Pointers | Troubleshooting

Operating Pointers

Remember to check attenuation of the ber optic cable. The system will only operate

properly if these specications fall within the range of the system’s loss budget.

Troubleshooting

Multimode ber optic cable contains an optical ber with a light carrying “core” that is

only .0025 inches (62.5 microns) in diameter. Single mode ber optic cable has an even

smaller “core,” only .00032 to .0004 inches (8-10 microns). This is smaller than a human hair!

Therefore, any minute particles of dirt or dust can easily block the ber from accepting or

radiating light. To prevent this from happening, always use the provided dust caps when

ever optical connectors are exposed to air. It is also a good idea to gently clean the tip of an

optical connector with a lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol whenever dust is suspected.

The status of the LEDs should provide the rst clue as to the origin of any operational

failure. If these are o, it usually means that the ber is broken or has too much attenuation.

Next, be certain that the input and output signal connections are correct.

An optical power meter, such as the Fiberlink® 6615, a visible light source, such as the

Fiberlink® 6610, and a Three Wavelength Light Source, such as the Fiberlink® 6620, can

greatly assist and expedite troubleshooting of ber optic transmission systems and are

recommended tools all installers should have available.

Finally, although multimode and single mode devices may look the same, they will not

operate properly together. Using the wrong device or ber can easily add more attenuation

than specied, resulting in poor overall performance. It should be noted that some of our

ber optic products support both single mode and multimode ber in the same unit.

If, after reviewing the above possibilities, the system is still not operating, please contact

the Customer Service Department for further assistance. If you suspect your problem is

caused by the optics or the ber optic cable, and you have an optical power meter, please

take the appropriate measurements prior to contacting support.
