Operational Setup

FIBT-1310 Series

1310nm Fiber Optic Transmitters

Stock No. 7603 Series

CAUTION: If any of the equipment appears to have been damaged, 

do NOT

 connect it to a power source.  This will only cause additional 

damage to the unit.  Contact Technical Support for further instructions.

©2019 Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. All rights reserved. Specifications are subject to change without notice. Trademarks are the property of their respective owner.

NOTE: Factory MOD Level is set for optimum CSO/CTB/CNR. It is recommended to record 

this setting prior to changing MOD Level. See the User Manual for more information.

Connect  a  standard  SC/APC  fiber  test  cable  to  the 

transmitter's optical output. Measure the optical output 

power and confirm that it is approximately the same as 

the value displayed on the LCD.

NOTE:

 When measuring the optical power, make sure the 

optical power meter is set for 1310nm wavelength and the 

fiber test connector is clean.

Measure the input RF level with an RF signal meter or a 

spectrum analyzer, making sure the RF signal is in the AGC 

range of the transmitter  (+15 to +25 dBmV). At this time, 

you can connect the RF signals to the RF IN port of the 

FIBT. The front panel Status LED should be Green and the 

LCD will display the RF input level as “

INPUT RF=

XX

dBmV

”.

Re-measure the optical output power to ensure that it is 

normal. Remove the standard fiber test jumper and optical 

power meter, then connect the FIBT to the network.

Mount and secure the unit’s front panel to the rack by 

inserting  four  (4)  machine  screws,  with  cup  washers, 

through  the  four  (4)  mounting  holes  in  the  front  panel. 

Ground the case immediately afterward.
Check input voltage using a digital multimeter in accordance 

with power requirement. After you are satisfied with the 

results, plug in the power cable. 

NOTE:

  When  the  unit  is  first  plugged  in,  it  will  briefly 

beep  one  time.  This  indicates  that  the  transmitter  has 

successfully initialized.

Check the message on the LCD and the status of the front 

panel LED indicator. Push the 

UP

 and 

DOWN

 buttons to 

check  each  parameter,  insuring  that  the  transmitter  is 

operating normally. 

NOTE: 

If there is no RF input, the status LED will be a steady 

orange and the LCD will display “

INPUT RF IS LOW

”.

The FIBT-1310 Series transmitters are designed to be installed into any standard 1RU 19" rack. Verify that the power source to the 

rack is turned OFF before installing the unit into the rack.
