Installation Instructions
The FiberLink 3380 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 up to four analog audio sources to the audio input TASCAM DB-25
on the transmitter unit . XLR breakout cables are available for purchase .
3) Connect the video output cable to the video output BNC connectors on the
receiver unit .
4) (Optional) Connect audio output cables to the TASCAM DB-25 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 3G/HD/SD RATE LED 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 3380 transmitter
unit contains a solid state Laser Diode located in the optical
connector. This device emits invisible infrared electromag-
netic 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!
