！！！DANGER！！！
This Unit is Class 1 LASER(LL-400GI is Class3B,LL-650GI
is Class 2, LL-780GI is Class3R) Product. Please read
and handle this product carefully to avoid eye damage.
◇Do not the power switch on till both ends of the fiber
cable and the power cable are connected properly.
◇Always keep the protect cap attached to the Optical
Signal Output Connector when not in use.
◇Do not observe inside of the Optical Signal Output
Connector directly. It may result permanent damage on
eyes.
◇Do not observe optical signal output directly
through an optical instrument such as magnifier etc.
◇Do not observe optical signal from the end of the
optical cable, if the signal is emitted into open
air.
◇Do not disassemble and/or modify this unit.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing LL Series E/O Converter.（LL-400GI、LL-650GI、
LL-780GI、LL-830GI、LL-1300GI）
LL Series is Electric to Optical signal converter and has following
feature.
・Very compact size and more than 0.25[mW] CW optical power at fiber end with
no modulation.（With 1[m]length 50/125 fiber）
・Wide frequency range
100kHz～1200MHz Flatness ±2[dBe]
・Standard FC optical connector
（Optional SC and ST connector are also available.）
・Standard BNC plug
Able to connect directly to a sweep generator or a network analyzer etc.
・Able to get DC power from instruments through included Power Cable Assembly.
It is not guaranteed that power cable corresponds to all instruments.
・Able to use for instrumentation of lightwave products, optical links or
other various applications.
Please read this user’s manual carefully and use it appropriately
according to this manual, will make this product useful for development
of light wave equipments, lightwave communication converter or other
various applications.

Front and rear panel view
①Power switch
This switch is for controlling power. Please on/off this switch after
connecting power cable assembly to power connector(②) and keep this
switch off when not in use.
②Power input connector
The power can be supplied from probe power connector that equipped with
an instrument through the Power Cable Assembly. Or, alternately, external
regulated power supply (not included) can be used through the Auxiliary
Power Connector. Power supply voltage for LL series is±15[V] (+15V only
for LL-650GI). Applying over and/or wrong polarity may cause permanent
damage.
③Optical signal output connector
Light signal comes out from this FC connector. Optional SC and ST
connecter models are also available. Please keep protect cap attached with
this unit, to this connector to avoid light emission inadvertently when
not in use.
④Electrical modulation signal input connector
Modulation signal is supplied through this BNC connector and this unit
has 50[Ω] input impedance. The modulation frequency range is 100[kHz]
～1200[MHz].

Applying higher than twice of the conversion sensibility may cause permanent
damage.
Connecting External Power Supply
１.An external power supply is necessary, if an instrument going to use has
no probe power output. The requirements for the power supply are regulated
+15[V]±5[%](LL-400GI is ±15[V]±5[%], LL-1300GI is -15[V] ±5[%])
and capable of supplying more than 120[mA] current with low ripple and noise.
And connect as following figure.
Wrong power supply connection may cause permanent damage on the E/O
converter. Please make sure the connection as RED Cable for Positive
terminal, Black Cable for Ground Terminal and Blue Cable for Negative
Terminal.
２. Panel cutout size is as following to mount the Auxiliary Power Connecter
on a panel, if necessary. Maximum allowable thickness of the panel is 5mm.
Setup
１. First of all, connect the E/O converter to output connector of an instrument.
Conversion connector may be required, if the instrument has no BNC jack.
２. Confirm power switch on the E/O converter is off then connect Power Cable
Assembly supplied. Other side of the Power Cable can be connected to the
instrument, if probe power connector is equipped. Please refer page 7 for
connecting external power supply, if the instrument has no probe power connector.
３. Connect fiber connector to optical signal output connecter. CW optical power
at fiber end with no modulation is more than 0.25[mW].
４. Turn on the power switch. Do not the power switch on with out optical fiber
cable connected both ends properly.
５. Adjust modulation level and frequency. Appropriate P-P modulation level is
approximately 1/3 of conversion sensibility that is on the data sheet. Beyond
this level makes the optical output signal lower than threshold level of Laser
device causes clipping of the optical output signal.
