1Description and Operation
1.1 Product Purpose
RS-FX-MM / RS-FX-SM40 Serial RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 Fiber Optic Modem (hereinafter
referred to as the modem) is designed to convert a standard RS232 / RS485 / RS422 signal to a fiber
optic link to extend the signal up to 40 Km.
The modem provides transmission distance up to 40 Km for signals from Orion ISS
intrusion / fire alarm and detection equipment and other equipment that use RS-232, RS-422, RS-485
interfaces.
An RS-FX-MM modem is designed to be used with multi-mode optical fiber to extend signals
up to 2 Km. For communicating data, two fibers are used: one fiber for receiving signals and the
other one for transmitting signals.
An RS-FX-SM40 is designed to be used with single-mode optical fiber to extend signals up to
40 Kм. For communicating data, two fibers are used: one fiber for receiving and the other one for
transmitting signals.
Scope of application: intrusion / fire alarm and detection systems, access control systems,
building automation systems.
The modem is intended for round-the-clock operation.
The modem is classed as non-repairable and periodically serviced equipment.

2Usage Instructions
2.1 Operating Restrictions
The design of the modem doesn’t provide its operation in aggressive and / or dusty
environments as well as in explosion hazardous premises.
Correct performance of the modem cannot be guaranteed if electromagnetic environment does
not meet the requirements defined in Section 1.2 of this manual.
2.2 Getting Ready
2.2.1 Safety Precautions
–The modem meets the requirements of electrical and fire safety including emergency operation
in accordance with Russian Standards GOST 12.2.007.0-75 and GOST 12.1.004-91;
–The modem has no circuits under a hazardous voltage;
–Do SHUT OFF power from the equipment before mounting, installing, and maintaining this
one;
–Mounting and maintenance shall be carried out by persons with the second or higher accident
prevention qualification level.
2.2.2 Design
The modem appearance is shown in Figure 2.2.1.
Warning!
The modem includes a laser emitter working in invisible infrared range. Do not look
directly into the optical port of the modem when it is powered to avoid harming to
your eye retina

2.2.3 Mounting
The modem is implied to be mounted on a DIN rail. Also it can be attached to a wall using the
bracket provided. To install the bracket, please unscrew the two screws that fix the DIN rail fastener.
Then use the same screws to secure the bracket.
To connect to the optical port, please use SC type fiber-optic connectors. To provide the minimum
loss of optical signal, UPC polished connectors (SC/UPC) are advised. Also SC/PC and SC/SPC
connectors can be in use. Do not use SC/APC connectors.
When delivered, the optical port of the modem is protected with a rubber plug to prevent dust.
Remove this plug only after installation has been completed, immediately when you are going to connect
optical connectors.
While connecting the fiber-optic link to the modem, please avoid excessive bending of the fiber-
optic cable. Overbends (kinking) can cause degradation of the signal or even full loss (backreflection) of
it.
It is acceptable to use mounting enclosures (cabinets, boxes, etc.). If the modem and any other
unit are arranged adjacently then vertical and horizontal distances between them shall be at least 10
mm each.

Terminals 6, 7, 8, 9 of the XT2 block can be used for communication over the RS-422
interface or two RS-485 interface lines.
Figure 2.2.3 shows a diagram for using the modems to extend Orion ISS RS-485 interface
line. Second and third RS-485 interface lines (terminals 6, 7, 8, 9) are connected similarly to the first
interface line (terminals 4, 5).

Figure 2.2.3 Extension of RS-485 Interface Line
Figure 2.2.4 shows a diagram for using the modems to extend RS-232 interface line.
Figure 2.2.4 Extension of RS-232 Interface Line
TX and RX optical lines shall be connected crosswise, in other words, the TX line of one
modem shall be connected to the RX line of another modem .
One RS-485 line cannot include more than 10 RX-FX modems. If a modem is the first or the
last one on the RS-485 line, the 620Ohm matching resistor (supplied) must be installed immediately
into the XT1 terminal block of the modem between A and B terminals. The terminal 3 (GND) of the
block XT1 shall obligatory be interconnected with terminals GND (0V) of the devices linked to the
modem over the RS-485 interface.
To connect the modem to a PC COM port, an S2000M-to-PC cable is recommended.
While connecting RS-232 interface devices to the modem, please connect fiber optic cables
crosswise. That is, RX terminal of the modem shall be linked to the TX contact of a device, and the
RX terminal of the device shall be linked the TX terminal of the modem, unless otherwise is
indicated in the operating documentation for a specific device. The terminal 3 (GND) of the XT1
block of the modem shall obligatory be coupled with the terminal GND (0V) of the device that is
connected to the modem over RS-232.
The modems do not cause delays while exchanging data over interfaces. So, no additional
settings of time parameters in the Orion ISS system are required.
2.2.5 Programming
The modems do not require setting prior to operating them and are ready for operation just
after wiring and applying power. Baud rate for RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 interfaces is self-adaptive.
2.2.6 Indication
The PWR/FLK LED indicates status of the modem. LED’s blinking means that the data are
being transferred.

11
Indicators of RS-232, RS-485 interface lines indicate receiving (RX) and transmitting (TX)
data over the relevant lines. LED’s blinking shows receiving / transmitting data over the relevant line,
with blink frequency depending on intensity of traffic.
