GENERAL INFORMATION The Fiberlink 5002 is a solid state “optical modem” that transmits RS-232 type data. It is designed to operate, error free, over distances of more than 2 miles via standard multi- mode fiber optic cable. The unit is ideal for extending the normal transmission range of most RS-232 compatible equipment and accessories and may be user-configured to either the DCE or DTE mode.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Following are installation instructions for the Fiberlink 5002: Individual Transceivers Access port for Optical Co nnectors DB-25 Signa l/ DCE/DTE Switch Power Connector Pin 1 = Case Pin 2= Xmit (DTE) Rec (DCE) Pin 3= Rec (DTE) Xmit (DCE)
Technical Specifications Data Transmission Rate ........ DC to 120 Kb/s Operating Mode ..........Simplex, Duplex, Asynchronous Point-to-Point, Drop and Repeat Compatibility ..........RS-232D, DCE or DTE Input Signal Voltage ........+ 5 to +30 volts per EIA RS-232D Output signal Voltage ........+ 5 to +10 volts per EIA RS-232D Optical Loss Budget ........
OPERATING POINTERS FOR THE 5002 POWER: The 5002 can obtain all of its operating power through the RS-232 port to which it is connected or through the power connector. Power is applied by connecting pin 9 of the DB-25 connector or the center pin of the power jack to a +12 VDC (+ 10%) power supply and pin 7 of the DB-25 connector or the shell of the power jack to the 12 volt return.
INTERFACE TROUBLESHOOTING The following tabulation indicates what to look for if the system does not operate properly. It assumes that correct operating power (12 VDC) has been applied to either pin 9 of the DB-25 connector or to the coaxial power connector (not both). 5002 set to DTE and transmitting data Description Condition...

If the DTE/DCE switch is set to the DCE position, the functions of pins 2 and 3 will be reversed from that shown in the chart. Note that the RS-232 output levels will be within the EIA specifications for this proto- col but may not be able to drive external so-called “signal powered”...
