FIBT-1310 Series
1310nm Fiber Optic Transmitters
Stock No. 7603 Series
CAUTION: If any of the equipment appears to have been damaged,
do NOT connect it to a power source. This will only cause addional
damage to the unit. Contact Technical Support for further instrucons.
©2019 Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. All rights reserved. Specifications are subject to change without notice. Trademarks are the property of their respective owner.
NOTE: Factory MOD Level is set for opmum CSO/CTB/CNR. It is recommended to record
this seng prior to changing MOD Level. See the User Manual for more informaon.
Connect a standard SC/APC ber test cable to the
transmier's opcal output. Measure the opcal output
power and conrm that it is approximately the same as
the value displayed on the LCD.
NOTE: When measuring the opcal power, make sure the
opcal power meter is set for 1310nm wavelength and the
ber test connector is clean.
Measure the input RF level with an RF signal meter or a
spectrum analyzer, making sure the RF signal is in the AGC
range of the transmier (+15 to +25 dBmV). At this me,
you can connect the RF signals to the RF IN port of the
FIBT. The front panel Status LED should be Green and the
LCD will display the RF input level as “INPUT RF=XXdBmV”.
Re-measure the opcal output power to ensure that it is
normal. Remove the standard ber test jumper and opcal
power meter, then connect the FIBT to the network.
Mount and secure the unit’s front panel to the rack by
inserng four (4) machine screws, with cup washers,
through the four (4) mounng holes in the front panel.
Ground the case immediately aerward.
Check input voltage using a digital mulmeter in accordance
with power requirement. Aer you are sased with the
results, plug in the power cable.
NOTE: When the unit is rst plugged in, it will briey
beep one me. This indicates that the transmier has
successfully inialized.
Check the message on the LCD and the status of the front
panel LED indicator. Push the UP and DOWN buons to
check each parameter, insuring that the transmier is
operang normally.
NOTE: If there is no RF input, the status LED will be a steady
orange and the LCD will display “INPUT RF IS LOW”.
The FIBT-1310 Series transmiers are designed to be installed into any standard 1RU 19" rack. Verify that the power source to the
rack is turned OFF before installing the unit into the rack.

Safety Instructions
This product is designated for use in restricted locaons. It is strongly advised that you ALWAYS follow
these safety instrucons to help ensure against injury to yourself and damage to your equipment.
Safety Precauons
åThe optical emissions from the units are laser-based Class IIIb, and may present eye hazards if improperly used. NEVER USE ANY KIND OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENT
TO VIEW THE OPTICAL OUTPUT OF THE UNIT.
åAs always, be careful when working with optical fibers. Fibers can cause painful injury if they penetrate the skin.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECT RIC AL SHOC K, DO NOT REMOVE COVER FROM THIS
UNIT. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The YIELD sign symbol is intended to alert you to the presence
of RECOMMENDED operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV System Installer’s aenon to Arcle
820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in parcular,
species that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as praccal.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE

Laser Safety Procedures
åALWAYS read the product data sheet and the laser safety label before
powering the product. Note the operating wavelength, optical output power,
and safety classifications.
åIf safety goggles or other eye protection are used, be certain that the
protection is effective at the wavelength(s) emitted by the device under test
BEFORE applying power.
åALWAYS connect a fiber to the output of the device BEFORE power is applied.
Power should never be applied without an attached fiber output. If the device
has a fiber output, a connector should be attached that is connected to a
fiber. This ensures that all light is confined within the fiber waveguide, virtually
eliminating all potential hazard.
åNEVER look in the end of a fiber to see if light is coming out. NEVER! Most
fiber optic laser wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm) are totally invisible to
the unaided eye and will cause permanent damage. Shorter wavelength lasers
(e.g. 780 nm) are visible and are very damaging. Always use instruments, such
as an optical power meter, to verify light output.
åNEVER, NEVER, NEVER look into the end of a fiber on a power device with
ANY sort of magnifying device. This includes microscopes, eye loupes, and
magnifying glasses. This WILL cause permanent, irreversible burn on your
retina.
åALWAYS double check that power is disconnected before using such devices. If
possible, completely disconnect the unit from any power source.
åIf you have questions about laser safety procedures, please call Blonder
Tongue before powering your product.
åDo not attempt to service the unit yourself, as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage and will void the warranty. Refer all
servicing to authorized service personnel.
åUnplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to authorized service
personnel whenever the following occurs:
oThe power supply cord or plug is damaged;
oLiquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit;
oThe unit has been exposed to rain or water;
oThe unit has been dropped or the chassis has been damaged;
oThe unit exhibits a distinct change in performance.
WARNING: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specied
herein may result in hazardous radiaon exposure. The opcal emissions from the units are laser-based
and present eye hazards. Avoid Exposure and follow all safety precauons.
