FT-CWDM Series Installation & Operation Manual

(1) Safety Instructions

Please be familiar with all information in this manual prior to installation and
operation.

Note 1: The products described contain a Class 1 laser or LED fiber optic emitter. The following

safety precautions apply.

Warning: Do not disconnect the fiber optic connector while the unit is powered up.
Exposure to Class I invisible optical radiation is possible when the internal fiber optic
connector is disconnected while the unit is powered up.

Caution: Any access to the controls, adjustments, or performing operations, which are
other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Permanent eye
damage or other bodily injuries may be resulted from such exposure even for only
seconds.

Note 2: This assembly contains parts sensitive to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD
precautionary procedures should be applied in the course of touching, removing or inserting parts
or assemblies.

FT-CWDM Series Installation & Operation Manual

(2) Product Overview

2.1 Introduction

The FT-CWDM Series products comprise of single-mode fiber optic transmitters and
receivers for the optical transmission up to 8+1 wavelenghts into one fiber. The products work at
wavelengths from 1470nm to 1610nm with a 9/125um fiber for single-mode transmission with
FT-CWDM.

Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer/De-Multiplexer (FT-CWDM) Matrix Module support
optical transmission of up to 8+1 fiber channels through one single-mode fiber. It is capable to
connect up to eight units of FT fiber transmission products (each with different laser wavelength)
to maximum the video, data, audio and contact closure transmission in single fiber.

A non-compressed 10-bit digital video transmission scheme is implemented which supports
video in NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats. Transparent data transmission is also accomplished in
RS232, RS422 and RS485 formats regardless of the type of communication protocol
implemented within the system. Time Division Multiplex (TDM) technology is employed for digital
transmission of forward video and data; whereas optical Wavelength Division Multiplex (WDM)
technology is employed for simultaneous reverse data transmission as well as bi-directional data
transmission by using 2 wavelenghts.

For single-mode transmission, we also offer specifically designed products for long-haul
transmissions up to 60km. These models include the letter “L” in the suffix, e.g. FT2410DR-SSTL
for Tx, FT2410DR-SSRL for Rx, etc.

The FT-CWDM system is the combination of plug-in FT card modules installed in a 19”
rack-mount chassis.

(3) Installation

3.1 General

All OT Systems products are thoroughly inspected, tested and securely packaged before
delivery to ensure a stable, intact and trouble-free service. Please check the equipment upon
receipt for any visible damage which may have been caused during shipping.

The FT-CWDM Series card modules are housed inside the FT-C18 rack-mount chassis (Fig.

3.1) with an included power supply unit. The whole chassis is powered by local 110/220V power.
FT-C18 is a standard 19” (483mm) rack-mount chassis which occupies 4 rack units (177.8mm) in
height.

3.2 Installation

a) Insert the card module into the FT-C18 chassis along the top and bottom card guides of an
empty slot and push the card into the multi-pin socket at the rear firmly. Secure with the provided
thumb screws.
b) Repeat the above procedure for all the rest card modules. Unused slots must be covered
with blank panels provided.
c) Connect all the signal inputs and outputs at the back of the unit with appropriate cables:

i) Single-mode fiber optic cable and fiber patch cords for optical link (Please refer to Section 4),

ii) BNC cables for video inputs/outputs (Tx/Rx), and

iii) UTP cable for data input/output (Tx/Rx).

For the details of cable connections, please refer to FT models’ manual.

d) Once the chassis is powered up, check that the red POWER LED on the front and back
panels of the card modules are lit. If not, check the power supply cable connections between the
chassis and the power supply socket. For failures of individual card’s POWER LEDs, check the
corresponding card modules, whether they have been inserted properly.
e) With all the signals available at the input and output ports, check the status of LEDs located
on the unit. With correct status of each LED, installation is now completed [for LEDs status, see
Operational Guides on FT models’ manual’s section (5)].

4.1 System cable connections

For the set up of video signal and data communication, please refer to the FT models’ manuals.

*Reference document for System Cable Connections Diagrams will provide for each customer case.

4.2 Fiber Cable Connections & Setup Procedures

a) Connect the Optical Connector of FT model to corresponding wavelengths with

FT-CWDM models at transmitter and receiver by using provided single-mode fiber patch
cords (1 meter; 8pcs). For the specially designated wavelengths of each model, please
refer to Reference document for customer design.

b) Connect the fiber link with the input/ output that label as ‘Trunk’ at FT-CWDM to set up the

optical transmission of FT CWDM System. Please refer to Reference Document for
customer design.

4.3 Data port assignment and pin connections

For the set up of video signal and data, audio or contact closure communication, please refer to the FT
Model’s manuals.

4.4 Ground connection

For enhanced safety to reduce the risks of electrical shock and physical damage, caused by
lightning and other power surges, as well as a connection to the surge suppresion devices in the
product. It is highly recommended that the Standalone unit have good ground connections to the
buildings ground in accordance with the local codes.
