Fiber Port IFC-FDC(-E) has two optical ports that use SC or ST optical connections for multimode, single mode or bidirectional fiber. The fiber connections require duplex cables and proper adherence to connections for RX and TX. When using WDM Bidi fiber type, you must connect one end of fiber cable to Mode A and the other end to Mode B or vice versa.
DIP Switch IFC-FDC(-E) uses a 6-pole DIP switch for configuration. Each switch has the following functions. Status Function Description Disable No alarm when either power OFF * Power Alarm input loses power. Provide an alarm indication Enable Power when either power input loses Alarm power.
Terminal Block Power There are input connectors for two power sources. Only one power source is required for normal operation. The second power source input may be provided for redundancy. When operating in a critical environment, connecting to two separate power sources will ensure non-stop operation even in the event that one power source fails.
Earth Grounding Connection An earth ground connector is provided on the top panel with an earth ground sign next to it. Grounding the device can help to release leakage of electricity to the earth safely so as to reduce injuries from electromagnetic interference (EMI).
LED Indicators Color Description PWR1/ Power is connected and active at the Green PWR2 PWR1/PWR2 input terminal connection. One of the listed faults occurs: -One power input loses power (DIP No.1 is -No fiber link (DIP No. 2 is ON) -Faults in ring topology (DIP No.
The lines will be biased to known voltages and nodes will not interpret the noise from un-driven lines as actual data. IFC-FDC(-E) uses rotary switches to select from ten different bias resistor values. The factory default setting is at position 4 and provides bias resistors of 1KΩ...
Installation The converter comes with both wall mount and DIN rail hardware brackets. When installing the DIN rail bracket, be sure to correctly align the orientation pin. Figure 10. DIN Rail Figure 11. Wall Mount The converter with DIN Rail bracket has a steel spring in the upper rail of the bracket.
