3.3 MB-FR-1RU
In order to connect your MOT-BOX to an OB-Van (e.g.) via a fiber-optic cable,
you may use the dedicated 1RU frame, MB-FR-1RU on the stationary side, e.g.
the OB-Van.
Figure 16: MB-FR-1RU front view.
MB-FR-1RU has the possibility to connect 5 fiber cables, thus connecting to 5
different MOT-BOX devices. Each connection has 4 optical channels. The fiber
cable between MOT-BOX and MB-FR-1RU use Stratos HXMA 4-channel plugs
to connect with. The layout of this connector is as follows:
Figure 17: Stratos HXMA 4-channel details.
The layout of the connector on the rear side of the MB-FR-1RU is as follows:
Figure 18: MB-FR-1RU rear connector details.
13

MOT-BOX Rev. 0
The table below shows the corresponding optical signals, between the Stratos
HXMA 4-channel plug on the MOT-BOX rear side (Figures 3 and 17) and the
rear connectors of the MB-FR-1RU (Figure 18):
MOT-BOX MB-FR-1RU
A1 B1
A2 B2
B1 A1
B2 A2
Thus, the signal coming from the MOT-BOX on channel A1 connects to the
MB-FR-1RU on channel B1, et cetera.
The rear connectors on the MB-FR-1RU are used to patch the signals to an
accompanying flashlink®frame with E/O and/or O/E converters.
In this way, optical communication between the MOT-BOX and a stationary
configuration, e.g. an OB-Van is accomplished.
3.4 Frame reconfiguration
In order to reconfigure or expand the number of modules within the
MOT-BOX, see the User Manual for the FR-2RU-10-2 frame.

4MOT-BOX safety precautions
In order to protect your MOT-BOX and the modules inside, please pay
attention to the following:
The ventilation openings are on both the front- and rear sides of the
MOT-BOX.
Figure 19: Air vents on the MOT-BOX rear- and front side.
Note!
Never block the air ventilation openings!
Damage of the modules inside the MOT-BOX may be the
result if any of these are blocked.
Note!
Turn off the MOT-BOX if there is no air flow out of the rear
side of the box.
No air flow may indicate that the fan is out of order. Service
is then required.

5Laser safety precautions
Guidelines to limit hazards from laser exposure.
All the available EO units in the flashlink®range include a laser.
Therefore this note on laser safety should be read thoroughly.
The lasers emit light at 1310 nm or 1550 nm. This means that the human eye
cannot see the beam, and the blink reflex cannot protect the eye. (The human
eye can see light between 400 nm to 700 nm).
A laser beam can be harmful to the human eye (depending on laser power
and exposure time), therefore:
Instruments exist to verify light output power: Power meters, IR-cards etc.
Flashlink®features:
The MOT-BOX / FR-2RU-10-2 is classified as Class 1 laser product
according to EN 60 825-1:94/A11:96, and CFR Ch1(1997) Part 1040.10.
If the front panel is removed, the MOT-BOX / FR-2RU-10-2 is classified as
Class 1 laser product according to EN 60 825-1:94/A11:96, and class IIIb
according to CFR Ch1(1997) Part 1040.10.
Maximum output power: 5 mW.
Operating wavelengths: 1310 nm or 1550 nm.
Note!
BE CAREFUL WHEN CONNECTING / DISCONNECTING FIBER
PIGTAILS (ENDS).
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE PIGTAIL OF THE
LASER/FIBER.
NEVER USE MICROSCOPES, MAGNIFYING GLASSES OR EYE
LOUPES TO LOOK INTO A FIBER END.
USE LASER SAFETY GOGGLES BLOCKING LIGHT AT
1310 nm AND AT 1550 nm.
< 5mW
>1270nm
