Artel FiberLink SDI Beamer User manual

1
The FiberLink SDI Beamer Series of fiber 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 6650, 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 to the video input BNC connector on the transmitter unit.
2. Connect the video output cable to the video output BNC connector on
the receiver unit.
3. Connect the fiber optic cable to the transmitter and receiver units.
4. Optionally connect the Universal Power Supply (PDPS-4) to the transmitter and
receiver units ensuring to fully tighten the power connector. SDI Beamer can also be
powered independently via the internal 9V Battery. See the reverse side of this
document or refer to page 8 of the Manual for more information about powering the
SDI Beamer.
5. Switch the transmitter and receiver units on. The green BATTERY LED should
illuminate steady or blink, indicating the presence of operating power. See INDICATOR
LEDS on the reverse side of this document or refer to page 9 of the Manual for more
information about the BATTERY LED.
6. The system should now be operational.

Position Result
OFF
The battery will not be used to power SDI Beamer. If
external DC power is applied, SDI Beamer will function but
the battery will not be used as a fail-safe backup power
source.
ON
The battery may be used to power SDI Beamer: If external
DC power is applied, SDI Beamer will prioritize power from
the external DC source and only use battery power should
the external DC power be interrupted. If no external DC
power is applied, SDI Beamer will operate using the
internal battery.
Note: The FiberLink SDI Beamer Series has one “On/O” switch that controls
the application of battery power. The switch does not control external DC
power.
Note: Always turn the Battery Power Switch to the “O” position when
SDI Beamer is not in use to prevent inadvertent battery drain.
