- Page 3 Installation Site Install the unit in a place where the following conditions are met: The temperature and the relative humidity of the operating environment must be within the specified limits during operation of the unit. Values specified are applicable to the air inlets of the unit. Condensation may not be present during operation. If the unit is installed in a location subject to large variations of ambient temperature (e.g. in an OB‐van), appropriate precautions must be taken. Unobstructed airflow is essential for proper operation. Ventilation openings of the unit are a functional part of the design and must not be obstructed in any way during operation (e.g. ‐ by objects placed upon them, placement of the unit on a soft surface, or improper installation of the unit within a rack or piece of furniture). The unit must not be unduly exposed to external heat sources (direct sunlight, spot lights). Ambient Temperature Units and systems by FiberPlex are generally designed for an ambient temperature range (i.e. temperature of the incoming air) of +5...+40 °C. When rack mounting the units, the following facts must be considered: The permissible ambient temperature range for operation of the semiconductor components is 0 °C to +70 °C (commercial temperature range for operation). The airflow through the installation must allow exhaust air to remain cooler than 70 °C at all times. Average temperature increase of the cooling air shall be about 20 C°, allowing for an additional maximum 10 C° increase at the hottest components. If the cooling function of the installation must be monitored (e.g. for fan failure or illumination with spot lamps), the exhaust air temperature must be measured directly above the modules at several places within the enclosure. Grounding and Power Supply Grounding of units with mains supply (class I equipment) is performed via the protective earth (PE) conductor integrated in three‐pin Phoenix™ connector. Units with battery operation (< 60 V, class III equipment) must be earthed separately. Grounding the unit is one of the measures for protection against electrical shock hazard (dangerous body currents). Hazardous voltage may not only be caused by defective power supply insulation, but may also be introduced by the connected audio or control cables. This equipment may require the use of a different line cord, attachment plug, or both, depending on the available power source at installation. If the attachment plug needs to be changed, refer servicing to qualified personnel. ...

Page 5: Getting Started
Key Features Compatible with: o TIA/EIA‐530 (RS‐530) o MIL‐STD‐188‐114A balanced type 1 and type 2 o FED STD 1030A Can alternately be used for 6x4 RS‐422 and 1x2 RS‐232 An alternate interface (V.35 or RS‐232) may be installed at the opposite end, allowing the user to create a link between two electrically incompatible interfaces without requiring a separate interface converter. Supports tail circuit and null modem functions for DCE to DCE or DTE to DTE communications. Requires two of the same FOI units EIA‐530 and RS‐422 channels support data rates from DC to 6.144 Mbps Can be used for up to 6 universes of DMX lighting control Theory of Operation By using a technology unique to FiberPlex products called ‘transparency’, we are able to use all the clock, data and control channels of the standard EIA‐530 interface completely independently of one another. This provides the ability to have (4) bi‐directional RS‐422 serial with (2) unidirectional RS‐422 and (1) bi‐directional RS‐232 with (1) uni‐directional RS‐232, or even independently as (6) RS‐422 in one direction and (4) in the other [6x4] and (2) RS‐232 in one direction and (1) in the other [2x1]. The table later in the manual shows how these channels are pinned out. Differences between FOI‐4541 and FOI‐4451 The FOI‐4541 has a female (sockets) DB‐25 connector and mates with the DTE. The FOI‐4451 has a male (pins) DB‐25 connector, mates with the DCE and has clock regeneration functions. Getting Started Initial Inspection Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for damage. The container should be retained until the shipment has been checked for completeness and the equipment has been checked mechanically and electrically. If the shipment is incomplete, if there is mechanical damage, or if the unit fails to operate notify FiberPlex and make the shipping materials available for the carrier's inspection. ... - Page 6 Front Indicators/Connections Figure 1 FOI‐4451 (left) and FOI‐1580 (right) Front Face 1 3 DCE & DTE Connectors – Main data connections via D‐subminiature, 25‐position connector.

- Page 7 Regeneration Mode Switch – The REG1 and REG2 switch position is determined by the data rate of the 2 RS‐422 link and the distance between the DCE and the DTE. In some cases, if the timing delays are just right, a link will function in 2 switch positions, NON and REG1, or NON and REG2. It is also possible for a link to operate in all 3 switch positions; NON, REG1, and REG2. However, in synchronous applications where the DCE provides Send Timing (ST), it would be more beneficial to use either REG1 or REG2 rather than NON because regeneration eliminates the sampling jitter from the Transmit Data (TD) to the DCE. See the table below. Label Position Description Typically set for asynchronous or synchronous applications requiring Terminal Timing (TT). NON Up Transmit Data (TD) and Terminal Timing (TT) from the DTE are both passed transparently to the DCE with the addition of normal propagation delay and sampling jitter. Regeneration Modes Typically set for synchronous applications requiring Send Timing (ST). This may be used to correct for timing delays over long runs of wiring between the DCE and the DTE. Terminal Timing from the DTE is ignored and will not be passed to the DCE. Instead, Send Timing (ST) from the DCE is looped back to the Terminal Timing (TT) output on the FOI‐4541. Transmit Data (TD) from the DTE is sampled in on the rising edge of Send Timing (ST) from the REG1 Middle DCE. Transmit Data (TD) from the DTE is sampled in on the falling edge of Send Timing (ST) from the REG2 Down DCE. 4 5 SIG (signal) & SYN (sync) – LEDs indicating the status of signal presence or absence, and sync character detection. See the table below. Label Color Description Green Optical signal in detected. Off No optical signal in or optical level too low. Check that the opposite unit has power and that SIG ...

- Page 10 Power Requirements and Mounting IMPORTANT: For many serial data applications it is necessary to provide a positive earth ground reference for proper serial operation. Earth ground can only be supplied using the Phoenix connector. DC power can still be applied with the wall adapter in conjunction with just the earth ground on the Phoenix. Standalone Mounting The FOI‐4451 and FOI‐4541 are part of the FOI line of products designed for ruggedized mil applications. They are housed in the familiar FOI shielded can enclosure. For standalone applications they can be powered by adding a PSQ‐4909 AC supply or a PSQ‐4920 DC power supply (not included). Figure 3 Connecting to a PSQ‐4909 for Standalone application For more rugged mounting, wall mount adapters, WMA‐2001 and WMA‐3002, are available to secure the power supply and fiber optic isolator with screws. Both WMA‐2001 and WMA‐3002 are compatible with all PSQ and FOI series. The WMA‐2001 has an optical patch while the WMA‐3002 does not. The wall mount adapter attaches to either a horizontal or vertical flat surface and provides a convenient termination point which protects both the fiber optic cable and the fiber optic isolator from damage.
- Page 11 Rack Mount Solution The RMC‐3101 (3U, Front Load) and RMC‐2101 (2U, Rear Load) provide up to nine available slots for any fiber optic isolator or telephone disconnect unit. The tenth available slot must be occupied by a PSM‐3010 or PSM‐ 2010 power supply module (chassis dependent). Each RMC will be shipped with one PSM. A second PSM may also be added for power redundancy, leaving eight available slots for any fiber optic isolator. On the RMC‐ 3101, a cable bay is provided below the module bay for cable routing and enhanced air flow through two rear exhaust fans and a vented front panel. Each fiber optic isolator must also be installed on a CMA‐3002 or CMA‐2001 chassis mount adapter (chassis dependent), which slides the fiber optic isolator into the slot and assures correct alignment of the isolator power connector to the power bus inside the RMC. FiberPlex recommends the RMC‐3101R for TEMPEST or other high security applications. Figure 5 Installation on a CMA‐3002 Figure 4 Installation into an RMC‐3101 ...

Page 12: Other Considerations
Other Considerations Application Flexibility The units support tail circuit and null modem functions for DCE to DCE or DTE to DTE communications. This requires two of the same TD unit. An alternate interface (V.35 or RS‐232) may be installed at the opposite end, allowing the user to create a link between two electrically incompatible interfaces without requiring a separate interface converter. For more information, please see the “Optical Compatibility” table. TEMPEST Versions TEMPEST is a US Government specification and NATO certification intended to protect valuable and mission critical information from being intercepted through leaking emanations, including unintentional radio or electrical signals, sounds, and vibrations. The protection efforts are also known as emission security (EMSEC), which is a subset of communications security (COMSEC). The FOI‐4451 and FOI‐4541 have a variant designated with a ‘T‐ST’ suffix which has been rigorously designed and tested to comply with TEMPEST requirements. These units can easily be visually identified by their silver finish. When using an FOI‐4451‐T‐ST and/or FOI‐4541‐T‐ST much care must be taken in both the mating equipment and especially the copper D‐25 cabling used in such connection. In addition, the power supplies and/or chassis being uses must have an ‘R’ suffix. For standalone applications, use a PSQ‐4909‐R (or the older PSQ‐4910‐R) power supply or for a chassis mounted solution use either an RMC‐3101‐R or RMC‐2101‐R chassis. All the items in the system must be TEMPEST compliant for the system to properly protect the information. Special TEMEPST compliant cables are available from FiberPlex Technologies, LLC. -
