Do not disconnect the fiber optic connector while the unit is powered
up. Exposure to laser radiation is possible when the laser fiber optic
connector is disconnected while the unit is powered up.
Although the fiber optic connectors in this product emit only Class 1
energythatisbelowthelevels considered to be hazardous, one should
neverstaredirectlyintoafiberopticconnectororanunconnectedfiber
end unless one can be certain that no exposure to laser energy could
occur.
CAUTION
This manual is intended for use by trained service personnel. The use
of controls, making adjustments, or performing operations other than
those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
730E-R-IDisastandaloneAMoptical receiver which may be mounted
in a 19" rack. Located at either a headend or a remote site, the unit is a
versatile,costeffectivealternativetodeviceswithbulkierenvironmentally
sealedandruggedizedhousings.
Once the low distortion, low noise receiving module recovers the RF
signals from the 1310 or 1550 optical carrier, they are amplified and
deliveredtothereceiver’sRFoutput.LEDon the receiver’s front panel
indicatethepresence ofopticalpower.If theinputopticalpower isabove
-8dBm, the light is lit green; otherwise, it is lit red. Meanwhile on the
frontpanel,thereisalsodigitaldisplayofinputopticalpowerdisplayed
in mW.

IMPORTANT
1. Please do not attempt to look into the optical connector with
power applied, eye damage may result.
2. It is prohibited to touch the laser without any anti-static tool.
3. The optical input power should be only from -6 to +2dBm. The
receiver may work when input power is lower than -6dBm,
but CNR will be largely deteriorated; when the input power is
higher than 2dBm, CTB and CSO will be deteriorated and may
even cause the damage of the optical receiving module.
4. Clean the end of the connector with a lint free tissue moistened
withalcoholbefore you inserttheconnector into thereceptacle
of the SC/APC adapter.
5. This machine should be grounded before operation. The
grounded resistence should be <4Ω.Ω.

• Clean the end of the connector with a lint free tissue moistened
withalcohol.
• Insert the connector into the receptacle of the SC/APC adapter.
• Poweron,thestatuslightinfrontpanellits green when the input
power is above -8dBm. Otherwise, it is lit red.
3. Test point
