seconds after the Sensor is turned upright. If this normal power-on data
transmission is observed, put the Sensor aside and go to the next step to verify
proper functioning of the system.
2. Loosen the blue ferrule on the LED fiber-optic transmitter mounted on the Sensor
enclosure and insert one end of the fiber-optic cable until the fiber seats. Gently
tighten the ferrule to hold the fiber in place.
3. Connect the other end of the fiber-optic cable to the black (FIBER IN) port on the
Lightning Data Receiver. Without removing the cover and after loosening the
ferrule on the black (FIBER IN) port of the Lightning Data Receiver, insert the
fiber until it seats and gently tighten the ferrule to hold it in place.
4. Connect the power supply for the Lightning Data Receiver to an AC power
receptacle and connect the output connector of the power supply to the POWER
IN jack on the Lightning Data Receiver. Now, toggle the lever of the Lightning
Data Receiver power switch to the ON position and note that the blue External
Power LED on the front panel flashes about once every two seconds. One or
more of the status LEDs typically flash red. These are normal indications.
5. With the Sensor connected to the Lightning Data Receiver and with the Lightning
Data Receiver turned ON, turn the Sensor OFF by holding it and turning it upside
down for about ten seconds. After ten seconds in the upside down position, turn
and hold the Sensor in the upright position with the optical diffuser facing
upwards. Hold the Sensor in this position for at least ten seconds and observe
the front panel of the Lightning Data Receiver. If all equipment is functioning
properly with the fiber-optic cable is properly installed, all of the red-flashing
LEDs extinguish and only the blue LED flashes once every two seconds (approx).
This is the normal indication. If this indication is not observed on the first try, go
to Step 6 and reattempt this initial test. Call Wxline if problems persist at this
step.
