Installation Instructions
The FiberLink 3334 Series of ber optic transmission systems are ready for
immediate use and do not require any special tools or equipment. However, an Optical
Power Meter, such as the FiberLink 6615, can be useful in determining optical loss budgets
during your systems design and maintenance.
The following instructions describe the typical installation procedure:
1) Connect the video source(s) to the video input(s) on the transmitter unit.
2) Connect your video output cable(s) to the video output connector(s) on the
receiver unit.
3) Connect the ber optic cable to the transmitter and receiver units.
4) Connect the power cables to the transmitter and receiver units.
5) When power is applied, the green POWER LED should illuminate, indicating the
presence of operating power. The Video LEDs will give an indication
as described in the Indicator LED’s and Alarm Circuitry section of this manual.
Installation Instructions
The transmitting element in the FiberLink 3334 transmitter
unit contains a solid state Laser Diode located in the optical
connector. This device emits invisible infrared electromagnetic
radiation which can be harmful to human eyes. The radiation
from this optical connector, if viewed at close range with no
ber optic cable connected to the optical connector, may be
sucient intensity to cause instantaneous damage to the
retina of the eye. Direct viewing of this radiation should be
avoided at all times!
CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove the
cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualied service personnel.

Alarm Switch Settings & Options
When an alarm condition occurs, the red Alarm LED on the front panel will blink, the inter-
nal piezo sounder will beep and the external contacts will be activated (see Alarm Output
Settings). Switches on the front panel allow you to turn o the sounder, but the Alarm LED
will continue to blink and the external contacts will remain open until the fault is corrected.
Alarm Condition Output
Note that when the alarm is triggered, a set of isolated SPDT contacts (rated at 0.4A,
115VAC 50/60 Hz or 2A, 32 VDC resistive) will be activated. These contacts are available at
the rear panel ALARM terminal block and may be used for remote signaling applications.
Connections to this block are as follows:

Data Circuit Notes:
Even when installed exactly as directed, it is possible that the data function may fail to
operate properly when using FiberLink units in either the RS-485 2-Wire Auto Tx/Rx more or
the RS-485 4-Wire Multi-Drop mode.
If this problem occurs, it may be that your units are attempting to interface with other
manufacturers’products that have resting states opposite to the way in wich the FiberLink
units are programmed. (No standard for this exists.) You can compensate for this problem
by switching the polarities of the (+) and (-) pins. To do this, rst swap the TX (+) and TX (-)
with one another and then do the same for the RX (+) and RX (-) pins. Make sure to do this
on both the transmitter and the receiver.

Operating Pointers
Remember to check attenuation of the ber optic cable. The system will only operate
properly if these specications fall within the range of the system’s loss budget.
Troubleshooting
Multimode ber optic cable contains an optical ber with a light carrying “core” that is
only .0025 inches (62.5 microns) in diameter. Single mode ber optic cable has an even
smaller “core,” only .00032 to .0004 inches (8-10 microns). This is smaller than a human hair!
Therefore, any minute particles of dirt or dust can easily block the ber from accepting or
radiating light. To prevent this from happening, always use the provided dust caps when
ever optical connectors are exposed to air. It is also a good idea to gently clean the tip of an
optical connector with a lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol whenever dust is suspected.
The status of the LEDs should provide the rst clue as to the origin of any operational
failure. If these are o, it usually means that the ber is broken or has too much attenuation.
Next, be certain that the input and output signal connections are correct.
An optical power meter, such as the FiberLink 6650, a visible light source, such as the
FiberLink 6656, and a Three Wavelength Light Source, such as the FiberLink 6654, can
greatly assist and expedite troubleshooting of ber optic transmission systems and are
recommended tools all installers should have available.
Finally, although multimode and single mode devices may look the same, they will not
operate properly together. Using the wrong device or ber can easily add more attenuation
than specied, resulting in poor overall performance. It should be noted that some of our
ber optic products support both single mode and multimode ber in the same unit.
If, after reviewing the above possibilities, the system is still not operating, please contact
the Customer Service Department for further assistance. If you suspect your problem is
caused by the optics or the ber optic cable, and you have an optical power meter, please
take the appropriate measurements prior to contacting support.
