Always double check that power is disconnected before using such devices. If possible, completely disconnect the unit from any power source. If you have questions about laser safety procedures, please call Blonder Tongue before powering your product. Laser safety classes for the FRDA are as follows:... -
Page 3: Distribution Amplifier
FRDA Series Instruction Manual Description The FRDA is a fiber optic receiver module integrated with a broadband distribution amplifier (BIDA). The FRDA is used as a launch amplifier in a coaxial distribution sub-system fed from a single mode broadband fiber network. The FRDA’s optical receiver section provides exceptional CNR performance at low optical input levels. This feature is also a cost saving one, since it permits the use of lower power optical transmitters. The FRDA has two RF bandwidths available, 860 MHz and 1000 MHz, and features power doubling hybrid amplifier technology for high RF output levels and low distortion. The FRDA operates with the FIBT Series of transmitters as well as those from other leading manufacturers. Product Specification Optical Receiver Power Bandwidth: 45 to 1000 MHz Power Supply Requirements: 117 VAC, 60 Hz, 28 W Bandpass Flatness: 1 dB P/V Operating Wavelength: 1310/1550 nm Connectors Optical Input Range: -3 to +3.0 dBm... - Page 4 FRDA Series Instruction Manual Figure 1 - End-to-End Link Figure 1 shows the end-to-end RF gain of the Transmitter/Receiver combination. The main factor that determines the end-to-end gain is the amount of light that reaches the receiver. A typical transmitter/receiver combination will have unity gain (0 dB) at a received optical power of 0 dBm (1 milliwatt). The RF gain changes by 2 dB for every 1 dB change in received optical power. This curve will shift up and down by 3 or 4 dB due to variations in the lasers and amplifiers, however the slope will always be 2. The receiver contains a tri-colored indicator LED that may be used to determine the optical signal strength reaching the receiver. When the LED is green, the signal is at optimum input levels. When the LED is yellow, the optical...

If it is necessary to change the wavelength of operation setting to 1550 nm, first disconnect AC power, then remove the top cover and locate the locate the 1310nm/1550nm 3 pin header near the receiver module. Using needle nose pliers, move the shunt from the 1310 position to the 1550 position. Refer to Figure 3. Replace cover and re-apply AC power. Flat Attenuator Optical RX FIGURE 3 Figure 3 Internal Attenuator Selection The RF output level from the optical receiver module varies considerably over its operational optical input range.

FRDA Series Instruction Manual Maintenance Cleaning If the units need to be cleaned, avoid the use of all solvents and use low-pressure clean air to remove loose dirt. Use low- pressure clean air to clear the connectors of any debris. Dirty or scratched connector end faces will greatly reduce the unit’s performance. -
