CAUTION
If the LNB POWER LED is on, there will be DC voltage for LNB power at the
associated
RF INPUT connector. This can damage some test equipment. The
user can turn off the LNB power under using the card-
edge control system
under the LNBV menu item. See section 6.1.8 for details.

1. OVERVIEW
The 7807LT-2 is a dual fiber optic transmitter for RF signals in the extended L-Band frequency range and
below, for frequencies such as over-the-air DTV. It accepts two RF inputs from coaxial cable and provides
two outputs for optical transmission. An RF monitor output is provided for each input, which offers a
convenient means of obtaining peak satellite signal strength, or additional signal distribution. With two
optical transmitters per single-slot card, the 7807LT-2 provides an economical, high density solution.
Individual monitoring and control is provided for each signal path. Gain may be adjusted manually or
managed automatically via AGC. With SmartMON™, incoming RF signal strength, LNB current, and other
data are relayed over the fiber output for monitoring through SNMP/VistaLINK®at the fiber receiver
(requires SmartMON™ capable companion fiber receiver). LNB power with selectable 13/18V DC and 22
kHz tone is also provided on each RF input.
Features:
•Extended frequency response for extended L-Band, off-air DTV and other signals
•Protocol independent design - transports all modulation formats
•LNB power with selectable 13/18V DC, per input
•LNB current limit & short circuit protection
•LNB current monitoring for advance warning of LNB failure
•22kHz tone on/off for LNB local oscillator control, per input
•RF monitoring output ports for signal peaking and signal distribution
•Manual gain and AGC modes for tuning optimal CNR performance
•Multiple versions of the 7807LT-2 are available to address single-mode/multi-mode fiber, single/dual
fiber and CWDM/DWDM applications.
•The 7807LT13/15-2-W is a dual channel card that features and on-board fiber coupler, requiring only
a single fiber for the link (companion receiver is the 7807LR-2-W)
•Dual fiber transmitters on a single-slot card provides the industry’s highest density solution
•SmartMON™ capability provides remote status monitoring via SNMP without a separate data
connection
•VistaLINK® capability is available for monitoring and control when modules are used in a 3RU
7800FR frame and a 7700FC VistaLINK® frame controller is installed in slot 1 of the frame
•Form-C dry contact GPO alarm contacts for monitoring
•Fiber link provides electrical isolation between antenna and facility, mitigating ground loop and
lightning issues
•Compatible with all 2406LR, 7706LR, 7708LR and 7807LR-2 series receivers

2. INSTALLATION
The 7807LT-2 comes with a companion rear plate appropriate for a 1RU, 3RU or standalone enclosure as
specified at the time of order. SC/UPC, SC/APC, ST/UPC, FC/UPC or FC/APC optical connectors are
available and the type specified at the time of order will be installed. For information on mounting the rear
plate and inserting the module into the frame, see the 7700FR/7800FR manual for detailed instructions.

2.1. 7807LT-2 CONNECTIONS
FIBER OUTPUTS: SC/UPC, SC/APC, FC/UPC, FC/APC or ST/UPC female connectors with the optical
outputs from the 7807LT-2. These connectors should be connected to the FIBER
IN connectors of an appropriate Evertz companion receiver model at the destination
end with suitable fiber optic cables. The 7807LT-2 may transmit 1310nm, 1550nm
or CWDM wavelengths as indicated by the part number on the card ejector. The
standard connector type is UPC. This connector type is compatible with standard
PC connectors, but for optimal return loss performance, Evertz recommends the
use of UPC fiber terminations throughout the system. The optional APC connectors
provide further enhanced return loss performance, and when specified, should be
used throughout the system.
RF IN: Input connectors for RF signals. These connectors can also provide LNB power
and 22 kHz tone back to the LNB.
RF OUT: Output connector provides buffered copy of the incoming RF signal for monitoring
purposes (signal peaking, etc.) or coaxial distribution. Although not essential, if this
connector is to remain unused, it is recommended that it be terminated with an
appropriate 75 Ohm or 50 Ohm load.
GPO’s: The 3 pin terminal strip is used for the General Purpose Outputs (GPO). Pin1 and
Pin2 refer to GPO1 and GPO2 respectively, whose behavior (NC/NO) can be
selected by a jumper. (Refer to section 5.1 for Jumper Positions). Signal on GPO
Common (C) is to be provided by the user. A minor alarm between Common and
GPO1 is triggered in a state of RF outside of threshold and major alarm between
Common and GPO2 is triggered in a state of Laser failure and/or LNB short. Each
GPO output is a set of normally open and normally closed relay contacts as shown
in Figure 2-2.

When connecting cables to the GPO terminal block, a ferrite core should be placed
around the cable in order to reduce the electromagnetic interference to limits
acceptable for Class A digital devices. The ferrite impedance should be greater
than 70 ohms at 25MHz and greater than 135 ohms at 100MHz.
