Data Receive Unit with up to 8 Bi
-
directional Data and
Audio Channels
The
AMG4708A
is a standalone data receive unit designed to transmit and receive up to 8 data or
audio signals over two singlemode fibres. The 8 d
ata/audio channel interfaces, whether RS232,
RS422, RS485, 20mA, TTL, Contact Closure, Lonworks or Audio, are defined at manufacture by the
addition of daughter boards fitted onto the Data Expansion Board A.
The
AMG4708A
is designed to be powered by an
AM
G2003
power supply.
The
AMG4708A
is designed to operate with
AMG4707A
or rackmount equivalent
AMG4707AG
data
transmit unit in a point to point configuration.

Data and Audio Channel Configuration
The
AMG4708A
and rackmount equivalent
AMG4708AG
sends and receives data in one bank
-
Bank
A. Bank B is not used. The
physical interface is determined by the fitting of AMG data or audio
daughter boards onto the appropriate data expansion board slots.
Data Interface Daughter Board Options

Data and Audio Channel Configuration
The data expansion board slots are accessed by removing the AMG unit from its case. A data c
hannel
is active when a daughter board is installed in the required data channel slot. Each data interface
board enables one bi
-
directional channel.
Daughter Board Layout
The channel slots are as follows:
Data and Audio Daughter Board Fitting Instr
uction
The data and audio daughter boards pushed on to the pin headers mounted on the data expansion
boards. Ensure that the connectors are lined up correctly and not offset before pushing firmly in place.
Note that the data and audio channel numbers are a
ssociated with each slot. This allocates the pin
numbers on the rear panel connector together with the front panel LED indicators.

Mounting Details
The AMG unit is supplied with a clip
-
on mounting bracket which should be attached to a panel or wall
using 2 off 4.0mm screws. The unit is clipped into the mounting bracket, and is then held firmly in
position.
Removal / replace
ment from / to the Case
Note:
-
The AMG unit PCB's are static sensitive. Handle with proper care and use normal electrostatic
discharge (ESD) procedures. Use properly grounded protection (for example, wrist straps) when
handling the PCB.
To remove units
from the case to access the data expansion boards and the daughter boards, remove
the 2 or 4 fixing screws on the rear panel and slide the PCB's out of the case.
Ensure that the fibres do not snag or get trapped.
To replace the PCB's into the case, slid
e the PCB's gently into the case aligning the boards with the
appropriate slots. Ensure that the fibre do not snag or get trapped.
Safety
AMG Optical Fibre Products use Class 1 laser systems in accordance with EN 60825
-
2:2000.
It is always advisable to
follow good practice when working with optical fibre systems. This includes:
Do not stare with unprotected eyes or with any unapproved collimating device at fibre
ends or connector faces, or point them at other people.
Use only approved filtered or atten
uating viewing aids
For other safety issues and advice on good practice associated with optical fibre systems, please see
EN 60825
-
2:2000 or your local safety officer.
