  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction The LTX-5510 Electrical to Optical and Optical to Electrical Converter system comprise a convenient product that is intended to transmit analog and digital information to a remote location via fiber optic cable. Its primarily designed to be used in those situations where the signal of interest has a high common mode voltage with respect to the measurement equipment.

  • Page 7: Unpacking And Inspection

    Unpacking and Inspection Prior to shipment this instrument was inspected and found to be free of mechanical and electrical defects. Upon acceptance by the carrier he assumes responsibility for its safe arrival. After unpacking, examine the unit for any evidence of shipping damage. Should you receive this instrument in a damaged condition, apparent or concealed, it must be noted on the freight bill or express receipt and signed by the carrier’s agent.
  • Page 8: Theory Of Operation

    Theory of Operation The LTX-5510T amplifies, filters and digitizes the input analog signal to 12-bit precision at a 50 MS/s rate. The twelve bit digital data from each sample is combined with the state of the four digital input channels to form a sixteen bit word.
  • Page 9: Operating Considerations

    Operating Considerations The LTX-5510 system may be used to transmit signals from a source that is distant or at a different ground potential with respect to measuring devices such as an oscilloscope. The input signal must be in the range of 0 - ± 1 V or 0 - ± 5 V depending on the range selected. Digital signals may be transmitted as well.
  • Page 10 Operating Considerations The red LED labeled O.L. indicates that the input signal exceeds the maximum input voltage for the range in use. The green LED on the receiver indicates that the receiver is operating with an adequate optical input signal. If the indicator goes out, the transmitter has lost power or the connecting fiber is disconnected or broken.
