MAINTENANCE
•
Clean connector ends with a lint free tissue and alcohol before every mating.
•
Loose screws fixing the optical connector plate
•
Remove the connector from the connector bulkhead.
•
Clean the connector ends with a lint-free tissue and alcohol.
•
Reinstall the connector into the bulkhead ensuring that the cables/fiber´s are not stressed.
•
Caution: Do not extend the connector by more than 1 cm from the body of the
ES10/ES26.
10 TROUBLESHOOTING
To avoid problems with the ES10/ES26 and 1550 nm transmission there are some general rules
which are important to follow.
•
Use only carefully cleaned angled connectors like SC/APC, FC/APC, E2000 and similar ones
for the whole transmission system between optical transmitter and receiver. A mix of angled
and non angled connectors will result in high insertion loss, and a degradation of the CSO
and CNR performance.
•
Avoid bending losses of fiber optic cables. Since optical transmission on 1550 nm significantly
more sensitive to bending losses it is very important to avoid narrow curvatures
•
Use a proper levelled, flat RF-input signal. The flatness of the input signal (e.g.
±
1 dB) will
directly result in the same variation of CNR, CSO and CTB (in this example:
±
1 dB).
•
Be careful to understand all nonlinearities in optical fibers with 1550 nm transmission, long
distances and high optical powers. CNR and CSO can easily degrade due to self phase
modulation and Brillouin scattering. In doubts check the performance of the link by using an
optical attenuator instead of using optical fiber to see whether the performance is limited due
to impacts from the fiber.
•
In case of technical questions please ask our sales representative.
•
Note: Since the transmitter is working internally with very high optical power and
microwave signals it is not admitted to open the transmitter for personal safety and
EMC reasons. Do not open the transmitter! In case of other than fan/power supply
failures the transmitter has to be sent to BKtel for maintenance!
