WARNING
:
The FOXBOX Tx/Rx outputs continuous invisible light (Class 1 rated),
which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. Plug the supplied dust cap
into the optical transceiver when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.
AVERTISSEMENT
:
Le FOXBOX Tx/Rx émet une lumière invisible en continu
(conforme à la classe 1) qui peut être dangereux pour les yeux, à utiliser avec
précaution Branchez la protection contre la poussière dans l’ensemble émetteur/

NOTES:
•
Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your transmitter/receiver pair.
Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an
orange or aqua jacket.
•
Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter Tx to receiver Rx, is required for video,
audio, and serial command transmission. But, if you connect only one fiber
optic cable, or if your transmitter is configured to daisy-chain the optical signal,
system functionality is reduced. You
will not
receive RS-232 reports from the
controlled device, and some FOX Extenders Control Program functions and
RS-232 commands will not work. To receive responses from the controlled
device and for full functionality, you need to install both fiber optic cables and
leave the FOXBOX receiver in normal configuration (Mode DIP switch 1 down
on the receiver).
