Under no circumstances shall Westermo be responsible for any loss of data or income or any special, incidental, and consequential or indirect damages howsoever caused.
Do not use or store the unit in dusty, dirty areas. Connectors as well as other mechanical parts may be damaged. If the unit is not working properly, contact the place of purchase, nearest Westermo distributor office, or Westermo Tech support.
Note. Fibre Optic Handling Fibre optic equipment requires careful handling as the fibre components are very sensitive to dust and dirt. If the fibre is disconnected from the modem, the protective plug on the transmitter/receiver must be replaced. The protective plug must be kept on during transportation.

ODW-620-F1 is a fibre optic modem that converts between electrical RS-232 and a fibre optic link. ODW-620-F1 can also be used to convert from RS-232 to RS-485 by using one ODW-620-F1 and one ODW-630-F1. Data rate up to 250 kbit/s ODW-620-F1 converts data using rates from 300 bit/s up to 250 kbit/s.

Point-to-point communication via fibre optical network The serial data is transferred via a fibre optic network between two ODW-620-F1. This application is useful e.g. for long distance communication, where electromagnetic interference may occur or when isolation of the electrical network is needed.

The data carrier detect (DCD) signal is set as long as the fibre link is in operation, ready to transfer data. The data set ready (DSR) signal is set as long as the ODW-620-F1 is in service. If RTS/CTS is set to OFF will CTS always be set to active.

System delay in an optical network Serial data transferred from one ODW-620-F1 via an optical network to a second one, will be delayed due to the length of optical fibre and the signal processing within the units.

Optical Power Budget The allowed link length is calculated from the optical power budget (OPB), the available optical power for a fibre-optic link, and the attenuation of the fibre, comprising losses due to in-line connectors, splices, optical switches and a margin for link ageing (typical 1.5 dB for 1300 nm). The worst-case optical power budget (OPB) in dB for a fibre-optic link is determined by the differ- ence between the transmitter’s output optical power (min) and the receiver input sensitivity (max).

Configuration All needed configurations and parameter settings are done by the DIP-switches, located under the top lid. DIP-switch settings Before DIP-switch settings: Prevent damage to internal electronics from electrostatic discharges (ESD) by discharging your body to a grounding point (e.g. use of wrist strap) Note: Disconnect power before DIP-switch settings.

Mounting This unit should be mounted on 35 mm DIN-rail, which is horizontally mounted inside an apparatus cabinet, or similar. Snap on mounting, see figure. Cooling 10 mm * (0.4 inches) This unit uses convection cooling. To avoid obstructing the air- 25 mm flow around the unit, use the following spacing rules.
