discharge is avoided.
3.2 Regulations and References
Protect the batteries from heat (e.g. long times of exposure to direct sunlight) and fire. Do not immerse the
batteries into fluids. Otherwise there is a risk of explosions.
§Risk of Damage and Explosion Because of Incorrect Treatment
Unintentional or incorrect treatment can damage the batteries, which can even lead to
explosions of the batteries!
Batteries that are integrated into the devices of or are delivered with them, ma onl be charged with the
intended chargers from .
These components are compatible to each other, other chargers ma damage the s stem or ma reduce the
capacit or life span of the batteries significantl .
Respect the following references when operating the chargers:
•Use chargers only for charging devices and batteries.
•Switch devices off before connecting the charger.
•Do NOT switch on the device during the charging process.
•Maximum charging current 1 A.
•Disconnect charger before turning on the device on.
•Prior to the first use, charge the batteries completel .
•Charge the batteries before use if ou have not used them for a longer period (self discharge of the NiMH
batteries) and after use.
•To avoid capacit loss due to the memor effect, discharge the batteries completel ever 5 charging c cles. To
do this, leave the device on, until it turns off b itself. Then start the charging process as described above.
§Risk Through High Voltage at the Charging Device
•The charger works with mains voltage.
•Securit references for work with mains voltage must be followed.
!
Warning of Reduced Capacity and Life Span of the Batteries due to Maloperation
Use onl the intended chargers from .
Powered devices must never be used with a connected charger, e.g. for buffering an empt
batter .
Disregard can lead to a loss of capacit and a shortened life span of the batter in a short time.

5 Characteristics and field of application
The digital optical s stem optoUSB-3.0 can be used to opticall transmit USB signals with a data rate of up to
5 Gbit/s correlating to USB3.0 standard. Because of the optical transmission, the s stem is ver robust against EMS
(electromagnetic susceptibilit ). It can withstand high electric and magnetic fields, like the appear in EMC tests.
The s stem also is optimized for low noise emission.
Please note that the USB-3.0 is NOT downwards compatible. I.e. there is no transmission with USB2.0 devices.
For the HUB side transceiver, power is supplied b internal NiMH batteries which make the s stem eas to use.
The optoUSB-3.0 is prepared for the use of external batteries (with the optional batter pack BP84).
For the PC side transceiver, power is supplied via the USB cable connected to a PC.

The battery lasts 2-10h. Main factor is the power consumption of the connected
load.
The operating time can be extended by external, shielded battery packs.

8 Operation and handling of the optoUSB3.0
•Connect the optical fiber (Out => In, In => Out). Use 62.5/125µm multimode fibers onl , which are part of
the scope of deliver .
•Turn on the transceiver with the integrated USB hub connectors (HUB side).
•Connect our USB device with one of the two USB3.0 t pe A ports of the transceiver HUB side. Please
note: If ou use this side inside the anechoic chamber, the USB cable should be as short as possible and of
high qualit (rf shielding) to avoid rf coupling.
•Connect the transceiver PC side to a PC with the USB3.0 cable. Please wait until the operating s stem has
detected and added the device. If applicable, drivers ma have to be installed for the USB3.0 host
controller. Usuall , the drivers are installed automaticall b the operating s stem.
•The transmission starts automaticall after a short initialization.
If the transmission suddenl stops after a long duration of measurement, check the Info LED of the transceiver
(see Fig. 7.1).
The transceiver PC side does not have integrated batteries but is powered b a PC when connected with the
USB3.0 cable.
The transceiver HUB side is powered b an integrated 7 cell pack that has a nominal voltage of 8,4V. If the batter
power falls below 7,5V, the Info LED is switched on. The s stem should be reloaded soon. Below 6V, the s stem
turns off automaticall .
iThe maximal charging current is 1A.
The measurements can be extended b using the optional batter pack BP84 or an optional shielded power suppl
certified b mk-messtechnik. The external suppl can be connected to the s stem an time (parallel). The
connection to the internal batter is decoupled with a diode.

Onl use the batter pack and connector cables from mk-messtechnik! Others might lead to a damage of the
s stem!
!
The USB cable should be as short as possible and of high quality (rf shielding) to
avoid rf coupling.
Use cables approved by mk-messtechnik only! Disregard can lead to damages to the
devices.
Do not open the devices! Risk of short circuit, fire, and injuries!
The included chargers are not meant to power the transceivers during operation. The transceiver outside the
shielded room can be run with an external power suppl (optional). The internal transceiver can be run with an
external batter , if needed (optional). Do not use the external power suppl or charger to power the transceiver
inside the shielded room while EMI-tests are running. This might damage the transceiver!
Due to self-discharge issues with NiMH batteries, recharge batteries before use, if the s stem has not been used
for a longer time.
9 Maintenance
Recharge batteries after use with the enclosed charger. To prevent a laz batter effect, discharge the devices
ever 5 times completel b using the automatic switch off (Leave the s stem on, until it turns off automaticall ).
Afterwards, charge the devices as usual.
The devices have to be turned off before connecting to the charger. If this is disregarded, the s stem might get
damaged!
2 shows the pinning of the charge connector. Chargers have to be connected to pin 2 (+) and pin 4 (GND). An
external suppl (9V, 1A) can be connected to pin 3 (+) and pin 4 (GND). Use only power supplies which are
certified by mk-messtechnik.
Do not open the devices, as there are no parts inside which have to be maintained. The opened housing can pose
a fire hazard through short-circuit currents! Please contact our distributor or the manufacturer if ou have an
problems. Send in the complete s stem (both transceivers), if a problem cannot be solved b turning the devices
off and on again or b checking the positions of the switches. Please contact us in an case before sending in the
