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.

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.
