Installation of EDFA
1)
UPS power supply and an air conditioned environment are highly recommended for
stable and long-time EDFA operation.
2)
Install the EDFA in the 19” rack. Leave ½ inch of space between the EDFA and other
equipment installed in the rack for proper heat dissipation.
3)
Ensure the LB5155D EDFA is grounded and is mounted in a properly grounded rack,
grounding resistance should be smaller than 4Ω. Always ground the EDFA before
turning on power, so as to prevent laser and user from static damage.
4)
Terminate the output port of the EDFA to prevent damage to the laser when not
connected to the system.
5)
Ensure optical jumper connectors are matched properly to the device adapters. (ie.
SC/APC to SC/APC).
6)
Carefully clean all the fiber optic connectors. The suggested way to clean a fiber optic
connector is to use a dedicated and dry cloth (Kimwipes ®’s fine cloth).
7)
A microscope (at 100 times, 200 times) can be used to check the cleanliness of fiber
optic connector surface from any contamination or blemish.
8)
Clean the EDFA connector before installing the optical test cable. 2.5 mm cleaning
swabs are available. Clean both the bulkhead and fiber connectors.
9)
Measure the input optical power to the EDFA. Verify the Input optical power is in the
range of -3 to +10dBm. Use an optical power meter to verify that the optical input level is
within the specification.
