Installation Instructions

The Fiberlink® 3620A Series of fiber optic transmission systems are ready for  

immediate use and do not require any special tools or equipment. However, an Optical 

Power Meter, such as the Fiberlink® 6615, can be useful in determining optical loss budgets 

during your systems design and maintenance.  

 
The following instructions describe the typical installation procedure:
1)  Connect the video source to the video input BNC connector on the transmitter unit.
2)   (Optional) Connect your audio source to the audio input on the transmitter unit.
3)  Connect the video output cable to the video output BNC connector on the  
 

receiver unit.

4)  (Optional) Connect audio ouput cable to the audio ouput on the receiver unit.
6)   Connect the fiber optic cable to the transmitter and receiver units.
7)  Connect the Universal Power Supply to the transmitter and receiver units.  
 

For box versions using DC power, please refer to figure 1.

8)   Configure your audio preferences as described in the Audio Configuration  
 

section of this manual.

9)   When power is applied, the green POWER LED should illuminate, indicating the  
 

presence of operating power. The Video and the Audio LEDs will give an indication  

 

as described in the Indicator LED’s and Alarm Circuitry section of this manual.

10)  The system should now be operational.

Note: The Rack Card version has an additional red LED for indicating the presence of an alarm 

condition (loss of signal). Refer to Indicator LED’s and Alarm Circuitry sections of this manual.

Installation Instructions

The transmitting element in the Fiberlink® 3620A transmitter 
unit contains a solid state Laser Diode located in the optical 
connector. This device emits invisible infrared electromagnetic 
radiation which can be harmful to human eyes. The 
radiation from this optical connector, if viewed at close range 
with no fiber optic cable connected to the optical 
connector, may be sufficient intensity to cause 
instantaneous damage to the retina of the eye. Direct 
viewing of this radiation should be avoided at all times!
