Chapter 1 Introduction General Description OP+OER modules are 3 Gb/s HD-SDI Optical-to-Electrical Receivers. They are available in a single- and double-slot versions (the double-slot version adds a passive splitter and additional reclocked outputs), and in standard-sensitivity PIN and high-sensitivity APD versions. Main Features •...

Chapter 2 Installation and Operation Maximum Frame Power Ratings OP+OER modules operate only in fan-cooled 6800+ frames, subject to the limitations shown in Table 2-1. These modules cannot be installed in FR6802+DM or 6800/7000 series frames. CAUTION To maintain proper temperatures, ensure the front panel is closed at all times, and the fan module is fully operational.
Page 20
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation CAUTION To prevent damage, ensure that you mate single-slot front modules with single-slot back modules, and dual-slot front modules with dual-slot back modules. Do not mix-and-match different front and back modules. Before installing this product, read the Safety Instructions and Standards Manual .
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation Setting Jumpers All of the jumpers on the OP+OER modules are located at the card edge. Table 2-2 lists the default settings. See page 18 for more jumper information. Table 2-2. Jumper Default Settings Jumper Default Description Auto...

Chapter 2: Installation and Operation CAUTION To prevent overload damage, ensure that you observe the following: Harris Corporation does not recommend installing high-sensitivity (APD) optical receivers on multimode fiber. Due to its dispersion characteristics, multimode fiber is typically limited to shorter distance applications with very little signal attenuation.
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation Installing and Removing the Modules Installation Overview Front and back modules in the OPTO+ series have plastic caps that protect the fragile laser connections from damage. You must remove these protective covers before you install the back and front modules (see Figure 2-2).
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation Back Module Installation Follow these steps to install the back module into a frame: 1. Remove a blank back plate from the frame. Do not discard the blank back plates. They may be needed for future configurations.
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation Front Module Installation OP+OER front modules are hot-swappable and can be installed with the power supply either turned on, or turned off. Procedure Follow these steps to install the front modules: 1. Pull out the finger-release screws on the right and left side of the front panel of the frame, and then open it.
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation Removing Modules NOTE The removal steps provided here are similar to those outlined in your frame Installation and Operation Manual. Refer to that manual for detailed information about installing and operating a frame and its components. Front Module Follow these steps to remove a front module from the frame: 1.
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation Inspecting and Cleaning Fiber Optic Connections Small amounts of microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic network. To ensure that your network operates reliably, you must carefully inspect and clean each connection when installing OPTO+ products.
Page 28
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation • Never touch the dispenser tip of an alcohol bottle or any clean portion of a tissue or swab. • Use care when handling the fiber; do not twist or pull. • Keep your cleaning fluids away from open flame or spark. Figure 2-3 describes the acceptable limits of defects in a fiber connection.
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation Inspection and Cleaning Procedure Inspection To inspect and clean the fibers, follow these steps: 1. Ensure the fiber is not “live.” WARNING Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an energized fiber end.
Page 30
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation Wet Cleaning Using 99.8% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean the fiber: 1. Fold the wipe into a square, about 4 to 8 layers thick. 2. Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99.8% alcohol, ensuring that a portion of the wipe remains dry.
Chapter 2: Installation and Operation CCS Parameter List Table 2-4 on page 17 lists the parameters that are available when you use CCS-enabled control panels or software. Read-only parameters are indicated by the [RO] symbol and grey shading. Default option settings are shown in bold.

Appendix A Laser Safety Guidelines Laser Safety WARNING Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than those specified in this document may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure. Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit infrared light that is normally not visible to the human eye.
Appendix A: Laser Safety Guidelines Precautions for Enclosed Systems In its normal operating mode, an optical fiber communication system is totally enclosed and presents no risk of eye injury. However, if the fiber optic cables that interconnect various components of an optical fiber disconnect or break, you may be exposed to laser emissions.
Appendix A: Laser Safety Guidelines 2. Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment during installation or servicing. 3. Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set. 4. Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the optical fiber systems during installation and service.
Appendix B Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips Software Communication Problems The frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with + Pilot Lite or CCS Pilot/Navigator. Solutions • Ensure you have specified the proper module slot. See your frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about slot identification.
