1.1.4 General operating and safety strategy of Technica
Engineering’s Products
Technica Engineering’s products are designed for operation in automotive systems
and for supply voltages of nominal 12 V or 24 V. The applicable limit values adhere to
the standard norms for 12 V or 24 V automotive onboard power systems
correspondingly and can be found in the mentioned norms.
Should Technica Engineering’s products be operated in voltage ranges beyond those
specified in the norms, which represents a breach of the conditions of operation, then
this will void the product warranty and Technica Engineering will assume no liability
whatsoever of the results and/or consequences thereof.

1000BASE-T1 MediaConverter EMC User Manual

This is especially valid whenever the voltage level reaches or exceeds the limits of the
low-voltage directive. In this case, damage to the devices cannot be excluded. Due to
the manufacturing characteristics of the devices, there is no imminent fire hazard from
the device itself, if the devices are being operated in an environment according to the
conditions of use. A secondary fire hazard cannot be excluded, should those
conditions not be met. A protection against overvoltage cannot be provided in such a
breach of the conditions of use.
1.1.5 General design rules for the power supply of Technica
Engineering’s products
The power supply circuit of Technica Engineering’s products are equipped with self-
protection components. This automatic function protects the devices against
excessive temperature and too high supply-voltage by switching the device off. This
automatic switch-off function is independent of any software function.
The root-cause of excessive temperature in the power supply circuit can eventually be
due to a too high environment temperature or due to an internal failure of the device.
In both cases, the automatic switch-off function will switch-off the power supply from
the device to avoid further damage.
The protection against too high supply-voltage protects the device even in case of an
internal failure of the Technica Engineering device.
1.2 Warranty and Safety Information
Before operating the device, read this manual thoroughly and retain
it for your reference.
The latest documentation for the 1000BASE-T1 EMC Converter can

When integrating the modules in a vehicle or test set-up, the user
must ensure appropriate ventilation or air convection.
Technica Engineering products must not be considered as a safety
element out of context when using safety-critical systems and must
be included in the safety assessment when used. The development
class in a safety system must be taken into account with standard
QM referred to ISO26262.
Caution
: The device can get hot.
Do not cover the device due to fire danger.

41000BASE-T1 MediaConverter EMC mode A0 and A2
Nowadays, when we speak about 1000BASE-T1 MediaConverter EMC, we have to
mention that there are two devices but with a small difference.
On the one hand, there is the 1000BASE-T1 Media Converter HW 1.4 (TE- 1400), which
works with a A0 PHY from Marvell (88Q2112) and is only compatible with PHY Z0, Z1
and A0 versions. However, when connecting to 1000BASE-T1 Transceivers of different
vendors, no linkup is possible.
On the other hand, there is the 1000BASE-T1 Media Converter HW 2.0 (TE-1400-1),
which is a “new” version of the TE-1400 with A2 PHY from Marvell, where it has the
following behavior.
The device includes a DIP switch, which allows the manual change of the mode, in
order to set up the 1000BASE-T1 SFP Module with A0 PHY (TE-1435).
The user has to access the PHY register settings, so the mode change has to be done
by the user itself.

Note: All 1000BASE-T1 MediaConverter EMC with a serial number higher than
190500000 are built with an A2 PHY.
Note: The CHAPTER 4only describes how to set the DUT in TestMode. It is not a guide
how to execute a Physical Layer Test.
5.2 How to get the USB-Opto-Adapter
This adapter is available from Technica-engineering. Please ask technical-
[e-mail] or [e-mail] for the TE-1375
5.3 Setup
First install terminal program like “TeraTerm”.
For controlling TestModes please connect the serial optical interface with the
USB-debug-adapter to your PC:
Figure 5-1: Setup
