7700 MultiFrame Manual 7706LR Series WARNING Do not connect the 7706LR without optical attenuation to a transmitter producing in excess of +3dBm optical power. Maximum optical input to the 7706LR is +3dBm – more power than this may damage the receiver.
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7706LR Series OVERVIEW The 7706LR is a fiber optic receiver for receiving extended L-Band and other signals. It accepts a fiber optic input from a companion transmitter and provides an electrical output signal. Control of the card is provided locally at the card edge via DIP Switches.

7700 MultiFrame Manual 7706LR Series INSTALLATION The 7706LR comes with a companion rear plate appropriate for a 1RU, 3RU or standalone enclosure as specified at the time of order. SC/UPC, SC/APC, ST/UPC, FC/UPC or FC/APC optical connectors are available and the type specified at the time of order will be installed. For information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the module into the frame, see the 7700FR manual for detailed instructions.
Evertz recommends that you maintain a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable. Evertz fiber optic modules come with cable lockout devices to prevent the user from damaging the fiber by installing a module into a slot in the frame that does not have a suitable rear plate installed.

7700 MultiFrame Manual 7706LR Series 5.5. 7706LR PARAMETERS 5.5.1. Selecting the Output Gain Mode The 7706LR has two gain modes available: Manual gain mode allows the user to select a fixed gain level for the RF signal. AGC (automatic gain control) will maintain a constant output level even if the input RF level changes, as long as this input level does not go outside of the AGC hold range.
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7706LR Series 5.5.4. Adjusting the AGC Target Level The target output level to be maintained by the 7706LR when AGC mode is user adjustable. To set the AGC target level, use the Dip Switches 4,5,6,7,8 according to the table (see Table 5-1).
