Users Manual
To install the AK100TR Tracer card, slide the card
into the AK500S chassis (see Figure 1).
Power (-48Vdc) is not required. The AK500TR
exposes the outside plant wires to the user. Test
equipment used with the tracer card should provide
adequate OSP protection. Voltages applied to the
tracer card connectors should not exceed 60V. The
tracer card does not provide current limiting. Currents
should be limited to less than 1A. Remove all
connections on the tracer card before inserting or
removing the card from the AK500S chassis.
Posts are available for each of the 12 MSPAN tip and
ring pairs on the end of the AK500TR card. See
Figure 2 for details.
The AK500TR Tracer card is not intended to remain
in the chassis for extended period; it should be
removed when testing is completed. To remove the
AK500TR Tracer card, grab the pull tab located at the
top of the card and pull the card straight out.
