Before connecting to the receiver (OEC 40 micro or OEC 44 micro),
check the optical level of the signal on the optical fi bre using an opti-
cal power meter.
If the optical input signal is higher than 0 dBm, damage may be done
to the device.
Handling optical components
The OSC 100 micro transmitter and the receivers OEC 40 micro and OEC
44 micro are all fi tted with an optical CLIK! connector. The taps and split-
ters of the OAC and OVC series are equipped with connections for CLIK!
connectors (male).
Kathrein provides optical patch cables with CLIK! connectors in various
lengths to connect passive OAC and OVC units as well as the suitable
optical connectors ODC xxx.
Unused coaxial outputs must be terminated with an optical termination
(OTC 1) without fail. Otherwise, the proper functioning of the optical distri-
bution network cannot be guaranteed.

When dealing with optical waveguides:
Installation and disconnection of the fi bre optic cable to the equipment:
1. Only remove the protective cover from the connection if you want to create a new
optical link - Do not touch the front face of the connector!
2. Pay attention to the orientation (input/output) and push the connector in until it clicks
(as described in the instructions)
3. Remove the fi bre optic cable by pressing the latch lock and pulling the cable out.
