ANT-20SE Optical Interfaces Introduction Glass optical fibers are generally used as the transmission medium for SDH, SONET and ATM networks. Increasing integration has meant that the optical line equipment forms part of the network elements. The test equipment used for testing these elements must therefore be fitted with optical interfaces.
Optical Interfaces ANT-20SE Optical power splitter The ANT-20SE has a built-in optical power splitter. Looping the optical path through the splitter provides a transparent optical monitoring point. The ANT-20SE can thus perform in-service analysis of the signals on the optical path. Introduction...
ANT-20SE Optical Interfaces Maintenance Important safety instructions The following options for the ANT-20SE are fitted with laser output devices: • BN 3035/90.40 through BN 3035/90.59 • BN 3035/91.40 • BN 3035/91.41 • BN 3035/91.53 through BN 3035/91.59 Optical radiation with wavelengths in the range 1300 to 1600 nm is present at sockets [18], [47] and [103].
Optical Interfaces ANT-20SE Cleaning the optical interfaces Follow the instructions below when cleaning the optical interfaces [17], [18], [44], [47], [103] and [113] (see Fig. M-2): 1. Always observe the laser safety precautions! 2. Remove the test adapter and protective cap (a). The internal plug pin is now easily accessed.
ANT-20SE Optical Interfaces Installing the optical interface Safety precautions for preventing electrical accidents Opening covers or removing parts with a tool can expose live parts. Terminal points may also be live. Disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources before opening it. If calibration, maintenance or repair of the open instrument must be carried out with power connected, then this should be performed by a trained technician who is familiar with the risks involved.
