Fiberlink® 3X3X Series
Installation Instructions
The Fiberlink® 3X3X Series of ber 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® 6615, 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(s) to the video input(s) on the transmitter unit.
2) Connect your video output cable(s) to the video output connector(s) on the
receiver unit.
3) Connect the ber optic cable to the transmitter and receiver units.
4) Connect the power cables to the transmitter and receiver units.
5) When power is applied, the green POWER LED should illuminate, indicating the
presence of operating power. The Video LEDs will give an indication
as described in the Indicator LED’s and Alarm Circuitry section of this manual.
Installation Instructions
The transmitting element in the Fiberlink® 3134 transmitter
unit contains a solid state Laser Diode located in the optical
connector. This device emits invisible infrared electromagnetic
radiation which can be harmful to human eyes. The radiation
from this optical connector, if viewed at close range with no
ber optic cable connected to the optical connector, may be
sucient intensity to cause instantaneous damage to the
retina of the eye. Direct viewing of this radiation should be
avoided at all times!
CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove the
cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualied service personnel.

Alarm Switch Settings & Options
When an alarm condition occurs, the red Alarm LED on the front panel will blink, the inter-
nal piezo sounder will beep and the external contacts will be activated (see Alarm Output
Settings). Switches on the front panel allow you to turn o the sounder, but the Alarm LED
will continue to blink and the external contacts will remain open until the fault is corrected.
Alarm Condition Output
Note that when the alarm is triggered, a set of isolated SPDT contacts (rated at 0.4A,
115VAC 50/60 Hz or 2A, 32 VDC resistive) will be activated. These contacts are available at
the rear panel ALARM terminal block and may be used for remote signaling applications.
Connections to this block are as follows:

Data Congration Procedure.
The following instructions describe the typical data conguration procedure:
1) Set the rear panel DIP switches of the transmitter for the desired protocol.
See page 9 for DIP switch conguration settings.
2) Set the rear panel DIP switches of the receiver for the desired protocol.
See page 9 for DIP switch conguration settings.
3) Data terminal block positions 1 through 6 can be used as data inputs or data outputs
depending upon the protocol selected. Refer to page 10 for terminal block
conguration.
4) After the terminal blocks have been wire appropriately, plug them into the rear panel
connectors labels DATA/ALARM on both the transmitter and receiver units.
5) If there is no ber optic cable connecting the transmitter and receiver at this time,
connect an optical cable to both the transmitter and receiver units at this time.
5) Turn on the power for both the transmitter and receiver units. When power is applied
the green POWER LED on each unit will illuminate.
If data is present, the transmitter’s TX LED and the receiver’s RX LED will illuminate.
If a ber optic cable is connected to both the transmitter and receiver but there is no
data present, both the transmitter’s TX LED and the receiver’s RX LED will remain o.
If you feel this is in error check the data SIP switch settings for your desired protocal
on both the receiver and the transmitter units then verify the wiring of the data
terminal blocks.

Operating Pointers
Remember to check attenuation of the ber optic cable. The system will only operate
properly if these specications fall within the range of the system’s loss budget.
Troubleshooting
Multimode ber optic cable contains an optical ber with a light carrying “core” that is
only .0025 inches (62.5 microns) in diameter. Single mode ber optic cable has an even
smaller “core,” only .00032 to .0004 inches (8-10 microns). This is smaller than a human hair!
Therefore, any minute particles of dirt or dust can easily block the ber from accepting or
radiating light. To prevent this from happening, always use the provided dust caps when
ever optical connectors are exposed to air. It is also a good idea to gently clean the tip of an
optical connector with a lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol whenever dust is suspected.
The status of the LEDs should provide the rst clue as to the origin of any operational
failure. If these are o, it usually means that the ber is broken or has too much attenuation.
Next, be certain that the input and output signal connections are correct.
An optical power meter, such as the Fiberlink® 6615, a visible light source, such as the
Fiberlink® 6610, and a Three Wavelength Light Source, such as the Fiberlink® 6620, can
greatly assist and expedite troubleshooting of ber optic transmission systems and are
recommended tools all installers should have available.
Finally, although multimode and single mode devices may look the same, they will not
operate properly together. Using the wrong device or ber can easily add more attenuation
than specied, resulting in poor overall performance. It should be noted that some of our
ber optic products support both single mode and multimode ber in the same unit.
If, after reviewing the above possibilities, the system is still not operating, please contact
the Customer Service Department for further assistance. If you suspect your problem is
caused by the optics or the ber optic cable, and you have an optical power meter, please
take the appropriate measurements prior to contacting support.
