3 Introduction 3.1 Safety precautions With your Camera Link Range Extender over Fiber system (KY-EXT-CL) in hand, please take the time to read through the precautions listed below to prevent preventable and unnecessary injuries and damage to you, other personnel, or property. Read these safety instructions carefully before your first use of the product, as these precautions contain safety instructions that must be observed.
Be sure to discharge static electricity from the body before touching any sensitive electronic components. KY-EXT-CL The electronic circuits in your computer and the circuits on the device are sensitive to static electricity and surges. Improper handling may seriously damage the circuits. In addition, do not let your clothing come in contact with the circuit boards or components.
4 Key Features 4.1 Overview KAYA Instruments’ Camera Link Range Extender over Fiber system (KY-EXT-CL) solution provides a Camera Link video interface over fiber optic cable for distances up to 80km in single-mode and up to 300m in multi- mode. Optic fiber is electrically isolated, hence it does not radiate nor is it susceptible to electromagnetic interference, also eliminates the problems associated with grounding.

7 Firmware 7.1 Terminal control A Mini USB port is available for individual link & general information status and firmware update. The port uses a Silabs CP2101 chip. A driver from the Silabs website might have to be installed on certain PCs to gain access terminal port.
NOTE: The commands are not case sensitive. 7.2.3 KY-CL2F-H Host Unit configuration In order to format the system, choose the required command sequence: Command Description Available options 1- Base mode 2- Medium mode mode 3- Full mode format 4- Deca10(8Taps) mode 5- Deca8(10Taps) mode 1- AreaScan type...
6. At this point all the LEDs will turn off and the “System status LED” will slow pulse orange indicating the extender is ready to receive the firmware binary file. Under “File” tab use the terminal “transfer” capability using the XMODEM protocol to initiate the firmware update. Choose “Send” and the firmware version: cl_ext_device_x_xx.rbf or cl_ext_host_x_xx.rbf, depending on the chosen extender, when x_xx is the version number.
