SAFETY WARNINGS

LASER RADIATION

A laser transmitter emits invisible radiation that can cause permanent eye
damage. . Operate the transmitter only
with theproper opticalfiber installedin thetransmitter opticalconnector. Power to
the OTPN-400C should be turned-off or preferably, disconnected whenever the
optical connectorcover isopened and there is no installed fiber (as whenthe fiber
connector is beinginstalled orremoved from thetransmitterconnector).

The OTPN-400C is designed for indoor use only. Direct exposure to moisture
must be avoided. Connect the AC Adapter into the OTPN-400C
plugging the adapterinto thewall.

AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO BEAM

NEVER

USE ANY OPTICAL INSTRUMENT TO VIEW THE OUTPUT OF THE
LASER TRANSMITTER. “OPTICAL INSTRUMENT” INCLUDES MAGNIFYING
GLASSES, ETC.

NEVER

LOOK INTO THE OUTPUT OF THE LASER TRANSMITTER

NEVER

LOOK INTO THE OUTPUT OF A FIBER CONNECTED TO A LASER

TRANSMITTER.

NEVER

LOOK INTO OR USE ANY OPTICAL INSTRUMENT TO VIEW THE
DISTANT END OF AFIBER THAT MAY BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY OR VIA AN
OPTICAL SPLIT, TO A TRANSMITTER THAT MAY BE OPERATING. THIS
SPECIFICALLY APPLIES TO FIBERS THAT ARE TO BE CONNECTED TO
RECEIVERS (SUCH AS THE OTPN-400C) OR OTHER DEVICES AT ANY
DISTANCEFROMTHELASER TRANSMITTER.

BEFORE

INTRODUCTION

The Olson Technology Inc. OTPN-400C is a high-quality, cost-effective CATV
node designed around the latest optical receiver technology. It is designed to
operate with optical input levels ranging from -8dBm to 0dBm. The OTPN-400C
operates with external +12 V source either direct or “up the coax” with optional
power inserter.AnACpower adapter isalso available forsupplying+12V . Power

consumption is less than 5 Watts. The OTPN-400C has flanges on the bottom to
allow mounting toa flatsurface.

INSTALLATION/ ENVIRONMENTALCONSIDERATIONS

The OTPN-400C is specified to operate from 0°C to +70°C. It usually will not
require an air-conditioned environment. It should be mounted in an adequately
ventilated area.Like any other electronic equipment, it willprobably have a longer
life spanif it isnot operated atthe upper limitof the temperature range. Installation
in wet areas or areas of extremely high humidity should be avoided. Extremely
dirty or dusty areas should be avoided if possible.The OTPN-400Cshould notbe
installed in areasthat areaccessible to children.

The OTPN-400C may be installed and operated in any position on a flat surface.
The unit has two slots in the bottom flange to accommodate mounting hardware.
The unit should be mounted by sliding under one screw and then installing and
tightening the other screw. If mounting requires a wood screw, use #6 or #8
(maximum) pan-head sheet metal screws. These are commonly available at
hardware stores. If mounting with a machine screw (to tapped holes), use 6-32
pan-head screws.

The OTPN-400C can be powered in two ways. Power can be inserted into the
coax going to the “RF OUT /+12V ” port via the optional power inserter, or by
plugging the optional AC-to-DC power supply into the “+12V ” port. A type “F”
