SAFETY WARNINGS

LASER RADIATION

The OTPN-800CH may be equipped with a laser transmitter which emits invisible
radiation that can cause permanent eye damage. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO
BEAM. Operate the transmitter only with the proper optical fiber installed in the
transmitter optical connector. Power to the OTPN-800CH should be turned-off or
preferably, disconnected whenever the optical connector cover is opened and there is
no installed fiber (as when the fiber connector is being installed or removed from the
transmitter connector).

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 A FIBER THAT MAY BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY OR VIAAN
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-800CH) OR OTHER DEVICES AT ANY
DISTANCEFROM THE LASERTRANSMITTER.

HIGH VOLTAGE

The power supply section (bottom section) of the OTPN-800CH contains no user
serviceable parts. There is exposed high voltage inside this section. Only factory
service technicians shouldopen thepower supply section.

SHOCK HAZARD

The OTPN-800CH is designed forindoor useonly. Direct exposure tomoisture mustbe
avoided. Connect theAC Adapter intothe OTPN-800CH plugging the adapter
into the wall.

BEFORE

INTRODUCTION

The OTPN-800CH is a high-quality, cost-effective, bidirectional CATV node designed
around the latest optical receiver technology. It is designed to operate and meet full
specifications with optical input levels ranging from -8dBm to +2dBm. The receive RF
path includes provisions for plug-inequalizers to provide for sloped output responseas
well as user adjustable padding to set the forward and reverse RF gains. The OTPN­800CH is available with three different band splits; 1) 5-42/54-1,000MHz, 2)

5-30/45-

1,000MHz, 3) 5-65/85-1,000MHz

The OTPN-800CH can be equipped with an optional return laser transmitter. An AC
adapter is withan inputrange of 100-240V , 50/60Hz issupplied witheach unit.

INSTALLATION / ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

The OTPN-800CHis specifiedto operate from -10°C to+55°C. Itshould be mounted in
an adequately ventilated area. Like any otherelectronic equipment,it willprobably have
a longer life span if it is not operated at the upper limit of the temperature range.
Installation in wet areas or areas of extremely high humidity should be avoided. The
OTPN-800CH should notbe installedin areas thatare accessibleto children.

The OTPN-800CH may be installed and operated in any position on a flat surface. The
unit has two slots in the bottom plate to accommodate mounting hardware. The unit
should be mounted by sliding over one screw and then tightening the other screw. If
mounting requires a wood screw, use #6 or #8 (maximum) pan-head sheet metal
screws. If mountingwith amachine screw (totapped holes),use 6-32 pan-headscrews.
