Page 4: Introduction
1. Introduction SL504 and SL508 are fiber-optic sensors designed for Protected Distribution Systems (PDS). The Alarm Processing Unit (APU) is a device designed for standard 19-inch telecommunications racks. The SL504 can monitor up to four different sensing fibers (zones) and the SL508 can monitor up to eight different sensing fibers (zones). - Page 5 Tamper input Figure 1-1. Front and rear panels of the SL508 APU. The SL504 is similar but supports up to four zones. SecurLAN SL50x User Manual...

Page 6: Safety Information
The product warranty is void if any factory seal is broken. Inspection The SL50x APU should be inspected for shipping damage. If any damage is found, notify Fiber SenSys and file a claim with the carrier. Save the shipping container for possible inspection by the carrier. SecurLAN SL50x User Manual... - Page 7 Laser radiation The SL50x APU is a Class 1 laser product, as defined by IEC 60825-1 and CFR 21 subchapter J. A Class 1 laser emits insufficient light to constitute a hazard. However, avoid direct eye exposure to the output of this product or the open end of any optical-fiber cable connected to this product.

Page 8: Installing The Sensing Fiber
In these instances, new fiber can be pulled through the existing conduit and used as the sensing fiber. Whenever dark fiber or a non-Fiber SenSys fiber is used, performance will vary compared to the Fiber SenSys sensor cables. To verify satisfactory performance the fiber must be tested. - Page 9 The lead-in or sensing fibers plug directly into the APU and are always connected with SC/APC connectors. Terminations All sensing fibers used with the SL50x are “single ended.” This means that the fiber connects to the APU at just one end, and the other end is terminated using a Multimode End-of-Line (MM EOL) terminator (figure 3-1).

5. Alarm Procesing Unit (APU) Setup Setting up the APU consists of several steps: • Physical installation • Attaching and configuring the optical cables • Tuning the zones to optimize detection and reduce nuisance alarms • Testing and validation • Integrating the APU into monitoring systems Physical Installation The APU comes with a rack-mounting kit consisting of two rack-mounting handles and screws... - Page 12 Through the tuning process, the overall sensitivity of the zones (each zone can be independently tuned), as well as parameters that help to reject nuisance alarms, can be adjusted. To do this, run the 500 View software from the 500 Series Software Suite. To understand the required tuning operations, please refer to AN-ENS-007 Setting the Tuning Parameters.
- Page 13 Note: It is important to clean all connectors prior to insertion into the optical port. Refer to the fiber optics application note: AN-SM-007 Fiber Optics. Monitoring the APU on the Network The processes involved in integrating the APU into a security system network are described in detail in the AN-SM-009 APU Networking application note.

Page 14: Maintenance
There are no user-serviceable parts in the APU. In case of an APU failure, corrective maintenance involves replacing or repairing the APU with Fiber SenSys. If an APU is replaced or repaired, or changes are made to the fiber-optic sensors, the Port Assignment and Tuning processes described in section 5 must be repeated. - Page 15 For troubleshooting assistance, contact Fiber SenSys Technical Support Service: telephone, 1- 503-726-4455; email, support@fibersensys.com; or go to the Fiber SenSys website, www.fibersensys.com.
