Fiberlink® 7600 Series
The Fiberlink® 7600 Series of ber optic transmission system is ready for
immediate use and does not require any special tools or equipment. However, an Optical
Power Meter, such as the Fiberlink® 6650, can be useful in determining optical loss budgets
during your system’s design and system maintenance.
The following instructions describe the typical installation procedure:
1) Connect the HDMI® video source to the video input HDMI® connector on the
transmitter unit.
2) Determine your EDID requirements and follow the procedures described in the
“EDID Function” section of this manual.
3) Connect the video output on the receiver unit to the HDMI® monitor or load.
4) Connect the ber optic cable between the two Fiberlink units.
5) Apply power to both the Fiberlink units.
For box versions using DC power connections, refer to Figure 1.
6) When power is applied, the green POWER LED will light, indicating the presence
of operating power. The VIDEO LED will give an indication as described on page 13.
The green AUDIO LED will give an indication as stated on page 13.
7) The system should now be operational.
Note: The transmitter and receiver will each perform HDCP authentication with their source and
load. This will take several seconds to accomplish proper authentication.
Note: The Rack Card version has an additional red LED for indicating the presence of an alarm
condition (loss of signal). Refer to Indicator LED’s and Alarm Switch Settings & Options sections
of this manual.
Installation Instructions
The transmitting element in the Fiberlink® 7600 transmitter
unit contains a solid state Laser Diode located in the optical
connector. This device emits invisible infrared electromag-
netic radiation which can be harmful to human eyes. The ra-
diation 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 dam-
age to the retina of the eye. Direct viewing of this radiation
should be avoided at all times!

The Fiberlink® 7600 Series of HDMI® ber optic transmission system has a unique“EDID”
feature set that allows the capture and storage of EDID information, or allows the genera-
tion of the EDID internally, on-the-y. The procedures for implementing each feature are
described below.
Generating EDID internally when no EDID has been captured:
The 7600 Transmitter comes programmed from the factory with generic EDID data. If no
external EDID data is captured, this default EDID set will be used and presented to the HDMI®
source.
Capturing and storing EDID information:
1) Power o your source and the 7600 Series transmitter.
2) Connect a display to the 7600 HDMI® Input
3) Power on the display.
4) Power on your 7600 Transmitter unit.
5) Press and hold for approximately 3 seconds the‘Capture EDID’ button on the Transmitter
front panel.
The Video LED will ash, indicating the capture is in progress. Note that any previously
stored EDID information will be overwritten.
6) When the Video LED remains o, the capture is complete.
NOTE: Performing EDID capture with an HDMI® source connected to the 7600 will not result
in damage, nor will the EDID be successfully copied.
NOTE: This procedure will erase any previously stored EDID information, but not the fac-
tory default.
EDID Functions
Page 9Fiberlink® 7600 Series User’s Manual
Fiberlink® 7600 Series
Resetting back to factory defaults when EDID has been previously stored:
1) Power o the 7600 Series transmitter
2) Disconnect any display from the 7600 HDMI® input
3) Power on your 7600 Transmitter unit.
4) Press and hold for approximately 3 seconds the‘Capture EDID’ button to erase stored EDID
information.
5) The Video LED should ash for conrmation.
EDID Function
Operating Tips
Video Adjust Switch
On the front panel of both the transmitter and the receiver is the VIDEO ADJ (adjust) Switch.
In some installations, due to the length or quality of the HDMI® cable being used, it may be
necessary to use the opposite phase of the pixel clock to clock the HDMI® data into the trans-
mitter or into the monitor from the receiver.
If you experience color distortion on vertical edges of the video image, use the opposite set-
ting of the switch on either the transmitter or the receiver or both.
Using 9-Volt Battery
The 7600 transmitter unit can be temporarily powered using a 9V battery making it very easy
to bring the transmitter to a ceiling mounted projector for EDID capture and storage!
If you receive unexpected display results, you may be operating the 7600 using EDID informa-
tion that was stored during a previous installation. Try clearing any stored EDID information.

Operating Pointers
The 7600 Series is available in versions that operate with multimode (MM, 62.5u, 50u) and
single mode (SM) optical bers. Be certain that the correct size ber is being used for this
particular transmitter/receiver combination.
Also, remember to check attenuation and bandwidth 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 Sources, such as the Fiberlink® 6652 or 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.
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.

Maintenance
The Fiberlink® 7600 Series has been manufactured using the latest semiconductor devices
and techniques that electronic technology has to oer. They have been designed for long,
reliable and trouble-free service and are not normally eld repairable.
Should diculty be encountered, Artel Video Systems maintains a complete
service facility to render accurate, timely and reliable service of all products.
The only maintenance that can be provided by the user is to ascertain that optical
connectors are free of dust or dirt that could interfere with light transmission and that
electrical connections are secure and accurate. Please see the Troubleshooting section of
this manual for additional information.
An optical power meter, such as the Fiberlink® 6650, a visible light source, such as the
Fiberlink® 6656, and a Dual Wavelength Light Source, such as the Fiberlink® 6652 or 6654,
can greatly assist and expedite troubleshooting of ber optic transmission systems and are
recommended tools all installers should have available.
All other questions or comments should be directed to our Customer Service Department.
It should be noted that many “problems” can easily be solved by a simple telephone call.
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.
