FT110DBMicro 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.

FT110DBMicro Series Installation & Operation Manual

(2) Product Overview

2.1 Introduction

The FTD110DBMicro Series products comprise of either single-mode or multi-mode fiber
optic transmitters and receivers for the optical transmission of ONE bi-directional (Tx ↔ Rx) data
signal on one fiber. The products work at wavelengths of 1310nm and 1550nm with either a
9/125um or 62.5/125um fiber for single-mode or multi-mode transmission respectively.

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 data; whereas optical
Wavelength Division Multiplex (WDM) technology is employed for simultaneous reverse data
transmission as well as bi-directional data transmission.

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.
FTD110DBMicro-SSTL for Tx, FTD110DBMicro-SSRL for Rx, etc.

The FTD110DBMicro Series units are available as Micro unit, which can be mounted
horizontally or vertically wall-mounted on any fixture. The Micro unit comes with an external
power supply FT-PA/12V, which can be powered by local 110/220V power.

3.2 Micro unit installation

a) Mount the clip (Fig. 3.2) onto a fixture, e.g. a plank, (either on the wall or on a flat surface)
with two screws through the holes on the mounting frame to secure it in position.

(a) Front view (b) Side view

Fig. 3.2 Micro unit’s clip

b) The provided power supply should also be mounted on the same fixture or in the proximity
for connection of the supply cables to the unit, provided that an AC power supply socket is nearby
for powering the adaptor.
c) Push the Micro unit into the clip to secure it in position. For details, please follow Fig. 3.3.

Fig. 3.3 Micro unit installation on the clip

d) Connect all the signal inputs and outputs at the back of the unit with appropriate cables: fiber
optic cable for optical link and UTP cable for data input/output (Tx/Rx).
e) Once the unit is powered up, check that the red POWER LED on the unit is lit. If not, check
the power supply cable connections between the unit and the power supply socket.
f) 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 this manual’s section (5)].

4.3 Dip switch setting procedures

The only setup procedure is to select the appropriate line terminations and data
transmission formats. Selections must be made by setting the dip switches (Fig. 4.5) through the
access on the front panel.

Industrial practice for line terminations

For RS422 4-wire communication, it is suggested to keep the input and output lines
terminated in the ONE Tx to ONE Rx configuration.

For RS485 2/4-wire communication, the RS485 device can be disabled to stay in a Hi-Z
state. It is very important that the data lines have to be terminated with a resistor being connected
across the pair wires so as to eliminate the residual standing signal waves on the lines in the Hi-Z
line condition. So, it is recommended that the lines should be terminated with the appropriate
resistance. When more than one RS485 device are connected in a daisy-chain configuration,
only the farthest device on the loop, i.e. the device located at the end of the line, should be

terminated; whereas the middles ones are set to “Unterminated” status. See the figure 4.6 below

for reference.

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

that the Micro unit have good ground connections to the buildings ground in accordance with the
local codes.
