1.1 Important Safety Instructions
Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.
A polarized plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-cord
supply or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
product to rain or moisture.

1.2 Safety symbols
Familiarize yourself with the safety symbols in Figure 1: Safety symbols. These
symbols are displayed on the apparatus and warn you of the potential danger of
electric shock if the system is used improperly.

2 Introduction
The Clear-Com FIM-S222 is a free-standing, bi-directional interface, converting analog
audio and digital data associated with an intercom channel to-and-from an optical format
for transmission over fiber. A pair of FIM-S222s is required for each fiber link, one at the
matrix-frame end of the link, and the other at the matrix-panel end.
With a Clear-Com FIM-S222 System, you can connect intercom panels or interfaces to a
central matrix using fiber-optic cables at distances of up to 12 miles (20 km).
Connecting the pair of interfaces with fiber rather than with the standard 4-wire twisted
copper gives you advantages such as increased security from electromagnetic and RF
interference, flexibility in equipment placement, ease of maintenance, and often, reduced
cost.
The FIM-S222 is a two-fiber system, with uni-directional send and receive fibers
connecting the two units in a system.
The FIM-S222 is also available in the form of a card that plugs into a Grass Valley
Densité-series frame. This version is designated FIM-1222, and is described in Chapter
7 of this manual, beginning on page

3 Installing the FIM-S222
3.1 Unpacking
When you receive your Clear-Com FIM-S222 System, check to make sure you have
received all components of the system. The following items make up a Clear-Com
FIM-S222:
FIM-S222 multiplexer/demultiplexerunit
External power supply
You will require two FIM-S222 sets to complete a circuit.
Inspect the units for mechanical damage. Inspect all electrical connectors for bent or
damaged pins and latches. Report any damage to the carrier and to Clear-Com.
Leave the protective plastic caps on the optical connectors until it is time to attach
the fiber cables to the units.
3.2 FIM-S222 System Configuration
In a two-fiber system, identical and interchangeable FIM-S222 units are used at
each end of the fibers.
This unit transmits and receives at 1310 nm through the installed SFP
transceiver. It connects to the optical fibers through two ST connectors.
The units are connectedby the two fibers so that the optical output of each box is
connected to the optical input of the other.
3.3 Selecting and Installing the Fiber-Optic Cable
The person installing the FIM-S222 units is responsible for providing the fiber
optic cable runs. The FIM-S222 will operate with either Single-Mode or Multi-
Mode Fiber Optic Cable. You will experience the best distance performancewhen
using Single-Modecable as shown in the following table:
FIBER CORE DIAMETER
MAXIMUM FIBER LENGTH
50 microns (multimode)
3 miles (5 km)
62.5 microns (multimode)
2 miles (3 km)
8 microns (single mode)
12 miles (20 km)
Always follow the connector manufacturer’s directions when fastening a
connector to the cable.

Mark or tag the optical fibers when they are pulled, carefully avoiding the fiber tip,
so that their identity is known at both ends. If there is confusion about the identity
of the two fibers, shine a flashlight at one end of the fiber and look for light at the
other end.
Do not use the FIM-S222 optical output to identify cables. Never look directly into
the end of the optical fiber while either end of the system is operating. Even if you
do not see visible light, eye damage is possible.
Inspect the fiber ends and clean them with clean, dry compressed air or with Kim-
Wipes that have been saturated with isopropyl alcohol. Fingerprints or other dirt
on the optical connector end surfaces will reduce the received optical signal level.
3.4 Connecting Fiber-Optic Cable to the FIM-S222
Refer to Figure 3-1 before connecting the optical fiber to the ST optical connectors
on the FIM-S222 unit’s left side panel.
FIBER OUT FIBER IN
Figure 3-1 ST Optical Connections on the FIM-S222 Left Side Panel
The FIM-S222is compatible with industry standard ST-type connectors. You may
use installed backbone cables or dedicated cables with it.
Connect the two fiber cables so that:
 transmitter ST “Fiber Out”at the near end connects to receiver ST “Fiber In”
at the far end,
transmitter ST “Fiber Out”at the far end connects to receiver ST “Fiber In”at
the near e nd.
Figure 3-3 illustrates the entire wiring scheme for the FIM-S222 system.

3.5 Connecting Audio/Data Cables to the FIM-S222
RJ-45 connectors on the FIM-S222 unit’s right side panel connect the unit to audio and
data inputs and outputs, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Two ports are provided, labeled PORT-1 and PORT-2.
The data passing through these two ports is bi-directional. Incoming data from the
two ports is multiplexed onto a single fiber for transmission through the FIBER OUT
optical connector. Data arriving on the FIBER IN optical connector is demultiplexed
and passed to the appropriate port for output.
Each port has two RJ-45 connectors associated with it:
MATRIX –connect to the main matrix frame
STATION –connect to the remote panel or station.
The basic system overview is: the signals passing through MATRIX at one end of the
system are the same as those passing through STATION at the other end of the
system.

3.6 Powering the FIM-S222
Power the FIM-S222 by plugging the supplied external power adapter into the mains
power source, and then plugging the adapter output into the power supply connector on
the left side panel.
