OSD RS232 Commercial Amplifier OPERATOR MANUAL

OSD RS232 Commercial Amplifier

TECHNICAL SUMMARY

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

OVERVIEW

• The OSD139A is a small, high-performance fiber optic modem capable of linking asynchronous RS232 ports (eg: computers, terminals, test equipment, etc:) over distances of several kilometers at speeds ranging from DC to 60Kbps.
• The OSD139A is available with either a male (OSD139AM) or a female (OSD139AF) 25 Pin D connector. The unit is switchable between DTE/DCE mode (ie: Pin 2 or Pin 3 connects to the optical transmit section of the unit). This is selectable by a toggle switch mounted between the optical connectors.
• All units excluding the options L will operate from the data line plus two control lines with standard RS232 line drivers (eg: MC1488 or equivalent) operating from at least ±9VDC are employed in the host equipment.
• Power in the range of +6VDC to +12VDC may be fed to the unit via Pin 9 of the 25 Pin D connector.
• Alternately, +6VDC to +12VDC may be supplied to the unit via the 1.3mm concentric power socket mounted on the side of the OSD139A.

APPLICATIONS

• Secure communications.
• Hazardous environments.
• Factory automation.
• Long-distance synchronous or asynchronous RS232 links.
• Data transmission through electrically noisy environments.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Interconnects one RS232/V24 data channel over 3km.
• Directly plugs into the host’s RS232 D connector.
• Complete end-to-end isolation.
• DTE or DCE is switchable.
• No user adjustments are required.
• More secure than copper cables.
• Small size, low cost, robust and reliable.
• Full duplex asynchronous data transmission at up to 60kbps.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

This section outlines the methods required to install and operate the OSD139A successfully. This information should be studied carefully if damage to the equipment or poor results are to be avoided. This equipment has been fully tested prior to dispatch and is ready for immediate operation. However, it is advisable to check for external transportation damage prior to operation. If damage is detectable, return the unit and the packaging to the supplier.

INSTALLATION

WARNING AND PRECAUTION

• ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
  This is a Class B product.

• OPTICAL OUTPUT OPERATION
  WARNING: Laser Safety: Class 1 Laser Product per IEC/EN 60825-1:20011 standard.

PRECAUTIONS

• All service personnel should be provided training as to the hazards of direct viewing of laser radiation and the precautionary measures during servicing of equipment
• Areas where laser products are installed should be restricted in access to trained service personnel only and appropriate warning signs posted in the work area.
• All laser apertures should be covered by protective covers when not connected to optical fibers. Never leave outputs uncovered.
• Laser equipment should be positioned above or below eye level where possible. Apertures should be positioned away from personnel.
• Protective eyewear should be worn in the vicinity of laser equipment.

PACKAGING

The case of the OSD139A is made from metal and is designed to be placed on a bench or to be mounted directly on the host equipment’s 25 Pin D connector. Figure 3 below, provides the dimensions of the OSD139A.

OSD can provide a mounting bracket (OSD139MB) as an accessory if required.

FIGURE 3: DIMENSIONS

POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS

Normally the OSD139A will not need to make use of an external power source. +6VDC to +12VDC power may be supplied to the unit via Pin 9 of the 25 Pin D connector if non-standard RS232 drivers are employed in the host equipment or, alternatively, via the external power socket, making use of the OSD139APP. The internal pin is the positive connection and the outer connection is the Ground (see Figure 4).

PLEASE NOTE: The OSD139AL must be externally powered in either of the two ways described above.

FIGURE 4: POWER SOCKET CONNECTION DIAGRAM

OTHER CONNECTIONS

• The RS232 signals are connected to or from the external equipment as required via the 25 Pin D connector of the OSD139A. Table 3 identifies the connections for the OSD139A configured in both the DTE and DCE modes.
• As previously stated, if necessary +6VDC to +12VDC power may be fed to the unit via Pin 9 of the 25 Pin D connector.
• The optical fiber should be terminated with the appropriate optical connectors. Before connection, inspect the end of the optical connectors to ensure that no dust or dirt is present as it could contaminate the modem connecter and result in poor and degraded performance.
• If it is necessary to clean the cable connectors, use isopropyl alcohol with a lint-free tissue to remove any contamination.

OPERATION

CONTROLS

The OSD139A has only one control: the DTE/DCE switch located between the optical connectors. This switch changes the OSD139A between DTE and DCE modes.

FIGURE 5: DTE/DCE CONTROL

When the units are connected to a DTE host, the transmitting signal is on Pin 2 of the connector (data into the modem) and the received signal is output by the modem on Pin 3 (data out from the modem). The converse applies to a DCE host. The pin differences between these two modes are detailed in section 1.5 PIN ASSIGNMENTS (page 7)

MAINTENANCE

INTRODUCTION

The following section outlines the fault-finding procedure for the OSD139A modem.

Please take note of the following:

• Personnel without appropriate training should not attempt any maintenance except that outlined below.
• If further maintenance is attempted you are warned that every care should be taken to ensure that internal measurements made while the equipment is operational are taken carefully as some components within the unit are expensive and may be damaged by failure of any portion of their support circuitry.
• Some components within the unit are electrostatic sensitive and ESD precautions should be taken when performing maintenance upon the unit.

EXTERNAL INSPECTION

Visually check for the following:

• Ensure that the RS232 signal is connected to the modem correctly and that the distant OSD139A modem has been terminated correctly to any external equipment.
• Inspect the optical connectors for any contamination and clean using acetone and a lint-free tissue if any contamination is detected.
• Ensure that the DTE/DCE switch is set for the correct mode of operation.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

There is no routine maintenance required with the OSD139A.
