LASER SAFETY The V1679 board is a Class 1 Laser Product under the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) / Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) regulation. It cannot, under normal operating conditions (i.e., intended use), emit a hazardous level of optical radiation. No warning label or control measures are required by the FDA/CDRH.
The V1679 SINGLE-MODE FIBRE DATA TRANSCEIVERS form part of the Vistek V1600 range of fibre interface products. Based on a 3U high baseboard, which is common to all members of the V1679 family, the board can be fitted into a V1603 or V1606 rack, from which it receives its power and control.
'Normally Open' (short: NO) mode, or in a 'Normally Closed' (short: NC) mode. The Relays can be identified as little black cubes, lined up in either one group (V1679/IO, Group B only) or two groups (V1670/OP, Group A and B) at the rear connector end of the board. The output configuration Jumpers can be found in front of each Relay.
Depending on the actual board configuration, the V1679 supports up to 16 General Purpose Inputs. A V1679/IO features 8 General Purpose Inputs in addition to its 8 General Purpose Outputs, whereas a V1679/IP comes with 16 Inputs and no Outputs.

VISTEK V1679 single-mode fibre data transceiver When driving the Opto-Isolator from an external voltage source, one must check that the forward current through the Light Emitting Diode (LED) inside the Opto-Isolator does not exceed 60mA. Otherwise, the Opto- Isolator can be permanently damaged or even destroyed.
VISTEK V1679 single-mode fibre data transceiver Examples for Driving V1679 GPI Inputs 3.3.1 Push Button or Relay Driven Switch A Push Button is a simple example of how a GPI Input can be driven. One should be aware that when using any type of mechanically actuated switch, the input signal could bounce for several milliseconds before it reaches a stable state.
VISTEK V1679 single-mode fibre data transceiver 3.3.2 N-Channel MOSFET Switch The mechanical switch shown in the previous example can easily be replaced by an N-Channel MOSFET Switch, as illustrated in the diagram below. Using a FET not only eliminates possible bouncing problems, which are common to most mechanical switches, it also allows much faster switching cycles.
3 party equipment without the need of modifications or for additional hardware. As far as the V1679 GPI Inputs are concerned, the following guidelines apply when connecting to an Open Collector Output: • The Open Collector Output must be capable of sinking at least 5mA (normally specified as I CollectorCurrent).
5V CMOS families with sourcing/sinking capabilities of as low as ± 4mA, such as HC or HCT, can be also used to drive a V1679 GPI Input. In order not to violate the CMOS Buffer's output specification, an additional current limiting resistor could be necessary. If the Buffer can source -24mA, (AC, ACT Families), no additional resistor is required since the on-board 100Ohm series resistor provides sufficient current limiting.
150 ft. The RS-422 receivers used on the V1679 are equipped with a failsafe circuitry that guarantees a logic high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted.

VISTEK V1679 single-mode fibre data transceiver 4.2.1 RS-232/422 Mode Selection Jumper The Mode Selection Jumper is used to configure a port for RS-232 or RS-422 operation. The following combinations are supported: COM1: RS-232 RxD/TxD, CTS/RTS COM2: RS-232 RxD/TxD, CTS/RTS COM1: RS-422 RxD/TxD only...
V1679's serial communication ports without the need for a second PC or other bulky RS-232 peripherals. The best way to wire it up is using Vistek's V1679 Breakout Adapter, which can be pushed onto the 44-pin high density D-type connector at the rear panel and gives instant access to both serial ports and all GPIO lines.

VISTEK V1679 single-mode fibre data transceiver The example below shows an installation in which a Vistek V1606 rack is being remotely controlled over a long distance. Since the DART dongle (DIN 341) requires all modem control lines, COM1 has to be configured for full modem support.

Assuming that only one fibre link is available, a CWDM module is used for multiplexing/de- multiplexing different laser wavelengths, in this case not only from the V1679's, but also from a V1673 Dual Fibre Transmitter (/TT) and Dual Fibre Receiver (/RR) pair for the actual video link back to the control room.

VISTEK V1679 single-mode fibre data transceiver Electrical Interfaces All General Purpose Interface (GPI) signals and the Serial Comms Port signals are available on a 44-pin, high density D-type connector. The following table shows the Connector Pinout: Note that GPIO pin pairs (GPIO_Px, GPIO_Nx, x = 1..16) are either used as inputs or outputs. The naming convention is with reference to the opto-isolated inputs, where the 'P' (positive) pin drives the LED's Anode and the 'N' (negative) pin is either grounded internally or it drives the LED's Cathode.
V1679 Breakout Adapter Vistek offers a special Breakout Adapter for the V1679, which gives instant access to all GPIO signals on so- called spring terminals and to all serial comms lines on two female 9-pin DSUB connectors (COM1 / COM2).

The recommended stripping length is 11mm. 5.3.3 Power Supply Output The V1679 Breakout Adapter features a power supply output, which delivers unregulated +15V @ 1A (fused) on a 3-way PHOENIX Header with 3.5mm pitch (MCV1.5/3-G-3.5). Optical Interfaces CAUTION The maximum optical input power must not exceed 5mW (average) or 10mW (peak) at wavelengths 1110nm ≥...
The 8b/10b encoding can be found in many of today's high-speed serial transmission standards, like InfiniBand, FibreChannel, Gigabit Ethernet or DVB-ASI, to name only a few of them. The serial data rate is 622.08 Mb/s, which makes the V1679/xx, as far as its physical layer is concerned, compliant with SONET level OC-12.

DART INTERFACE General The V1679 board is a Class 4 DART module with a serial EEPROM for reading and writing card details through the DARTbus in the same manner as other V1600 range cards. In addition, the unit has several read-only status ports, over which the board’s operational status can be obtained.

For cleaning, only lens-grade, lint-free tissue (e.g. Kimwipes), saturated with 99.8+% pure, anhydrous Isopropyl Alcohol, shall be used. Vistek recommends the use of pre-saturated wipes. One sachet, containing a pre-saturated wipe, can be found packed with each board. Cleaning Technique: Note that pre-saturated wipes dry out very quickly and they should be used only once.
