SAFETYINSTRUCTIONSAND COMPLIANCE DECLARATIONS
PLEASE OBSERVETHE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONSAS OUR
PRODUCTS CONTAIN
CLASS I LASER PRODUCTS
WARNING
Thisproduct is aCLASSI LASER PRODUCT onlywhen theunitsare connected
with a fiber optical cable. 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. It
should be noted that when the fiber is disconnected, the product will have
CLASSIM INVISIBLELASER RADIATION.
Although the fiber optic connectors in this product emit only Class 1 energy
that is below the levels considered to be hazardous, one should never stare
directly into a fiber optic connector or an unconnected fiber end unless one
can be certain that no exposure to laser energy could occur.
CAUTION
Only service personnel are intended to access the interior of the units. It
should be cautioned that CLASS 3 INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN
OPEN, AVOID EXPOSURE TO THE BEAM. The use of controls, making
adjustments, or performing operations other than those specified may result
in hazardous radiation exposure. This product has operating wavelengths
at 778nm, 800nm with average -0.5dB to 0dBm optical power per wavelength,
825nm, 911nm, and 980nm. The laser is operated in pulse mode within 1
KHz frequency and ¼ duty cycle.
The following label or equivalent is located on the surface of laser products.
This label indicates that the product is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT.
SURGEPROTECTIONDEVICERECOMMENDED
This product contains sensitive electrical components that may be damaged
by electrical spikes, surges, electric shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of
surge protection systems is highly recommended in order to protect and
extend the life of your equipment.

1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The LBO-DVI-EAD Series is a high performance, low cost, miniature,
LinkBridgeTM Fiber Optic DVI TransmissionSystem. It carries one(1)
unidirectional DVI video, one (1) uni-directional stereo audio & digital
audio, and two (2) RS-232 through one multimode fiber. This unique
fiberoptic transmissionsystemlets yourdigital flat paneldisplay extend
upto400matWUXGA (1920x1200@60Hz)or720p/1080i/1080pHDTV
video resolution. No user adjustment is required for the LBO-DVI-EAD
systemdueto theuseof advanceddigitalfiber optictransmissionsystem
technology with zero compression and zero bit reduction. This allows
foraquick andeasysetup, offeringtrouble-freeoperation formanyyears
to come. In addition, the LBO-DVI-EAD transmitter (or receiver) is
compatible with our LBO Series receiver (or transmitter). This makes
both fiber transmission and HDMI/DVI/VGA/YPbPr/SV/CV/SDI
conversionin one single system setup.The LBO-DVI-EAD comes with
eitherastandaloneminiatureenclosureoraDecorawall-platepackaging.
The units are easily monitored by power and link LED indicators.

2.1 Mounting
Beforeinstalling the units into yourhousing, make sure there is
enoughspace topulland connectboth the electricaland optical
cables without stressing them beyond the manufacturer’s
limitations (also known as the minimum bend radius).
2.2 Cabling and Connectors
In order to setup the LBO-DVI-EAD-T properly, make sure to
observe the following instructions when installing the proper
cables. TheLBO-DVI-EAD-T requires two parts to thecabling

2.2.2 Optical Fiber Connection
Most cable manufacturers identify individual fibers in the fiber
cable. Selectanappropriateterminatedfiber. Each unit’soptical
ports in the system are specified for use with Multimode
(62.5/125 or 50/125 micron) fiber. Follow the ensuing
instructions on installing and connecting the fiber optic links:
1. Ensure the power is off before proceeding with the fiber
optic cable installation.
2. Priorto connectingthefiber opticcables, remove andsave
the dust caps from the optical port of the LBO-DVI-EAD
units. Clean the fiber optic connector and use a lint-free
cloth dampened with alcohol to thoroughly wipe the side
andend of theferrule.
3. Connectthe fiber fromone unit to theother connecting the
near end LBO-DVI-EAD-T unit’s optical port to the far end
ofthe LBO-DVI-EAD-R unit’s optical RX portas illustrated
inFigure 2-5.

2.3 DC Power Connection
Congratulations! Youarenow readyto powerup theLBO-DVI-EAD and
set up your network connection. In order to make sure that you have a
properinstallation, please observethe following:
1. YourAC jack has power.
2. The12VDC power supplyis working.
3. Yourelectrical system hasproper grounding (this ensures
that your power supply does not suffer from voltage
variations).
4. Power Surge Protection. This is optional, but highly
recommended. AUPS system provides voltageregularity
as well as prevents spikes from occurring, thus protecting
yourLBO-DVI-EAD from sensitivevoltage conditions.
TheLBO-DVI-EADderivespower fromanexternal 12VDCpowersupply.
This power supply is a wall mounted AC/DC adapter, 100-240 VAC,
50-60 Hz, at 1.5A. This power supply comes standard for the
LBO-DVI-EAD unlessotherwise specified.
Ifyou have any problems or concerns,regarding the installation, make
sure that you have taken the proper steps to ensure a proper power
connection. Otherwise, feel free to contact us for any questions you
mayhave.

2.4 In-Wall Power/Fiber Wiring Instruction
Thein-wall power/fiberinstallation fortheLBO-DVI-EAD-WP (wallplate
version)mustconfirmnational andlocalelectricalcodes,e.g., ULjunction
boxes shall be used and DC power source shall not exceed product
rated range (+12VDC @ 1.5A). Follow the following steps for power/
fiberinstallation:
1. AsshowninFigure 2-6,feedbothfiberandpowercablesthrough
the opening of the wall box, and secure the cables with cable
clampsto provide strain relief.
2. Terminated fiberwithSC opticalconnectortobe directlyplugged
into the SC connector port of the LBO-DVI-EAD-WP units
(seeFigure 2-5).
3. Before connecting power wire to the LBO-DVI-EAD-WP unit,
make sure power supply is off. Prepare the Positive (+12V)
and Negative (GND or +12V return), and chassis ground
(CHASSIS to earth ground) tip of the power wire as shown in
Figure2-7to bedirectly pluggedintothe captivescrew +12VDC
connectoroftheLBO-DVI-EAD-WPunits (seeFigure2-6).Make
sure the polarity of the connection is correct. Insulate any
exposed wire shields to prevent short circuits.

Note1: During installation, theinstaller may needto connectthe power
supplyoutput to anappropriate Listed NECtype cable beforeit
isrouted behind a wall.Simply routing thepowersupply output
cable behind a wall will most likely not comply with applicable
installation requirements. Unit should only be powered by a

Supply marked/rated as LPS or Limited Power Source.
Note2: The installation shall be in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70,

clean. However,observe the followinglightindicators to make
sure that the unit is working properly:
4.2 Troubleshooting
If the LBO-DVI-EAD units do not operate properly after
installation,checkfor: possiblecablebreaks, looseconnections,
and incorrect cable connections. If a problem exists on the
fiber link, please check your fiber connectors for improperly
cleaned fiber cables and connectors. If problems persist that
maybe fiber related,contactBCI at 1-800-214-0222for further
assistance.
For electrical problems, perform the following troubleshooting
procedures:
1. If the POWER indicator is OFF, check for the following:
a. The line cord is plugged into the unit and your outlet
haspower.
2. If the POWER indicator is ON, but the Optical Link
indicator is OFF, check for the following:
a. Makesure theappropriate(Multimode) fibersare being
used.
b. Fiberand fiber connectors arenotbroken.
c. For each unit, the transmit (TX) fiber is connected to
theother unit’sreceiver(RX).
3. If the POWER indicator and Optical Link indicator are
ON, but the audio/video channels are not operating,
then:
