Overview

The 602T and 602R are a small and lightweight fiber optic transmitter and receiver pair for DVI signals. The 602T converts electrical signals to optical signals and the 602R decodes the optical signals back to electrical signals.
The 602T and 602R feature:

• Max. Data Rate – 1.65Gbps

• Max. Resolution – Up to WUXGA (1920×1200) @60Hz, 1080p

• Range – Up to 400m (1312ft) (multimode); up to 1500m (5000ft) (single-mode)

• Cable – 2LC single or multi-mode fiber optic cable

• EDID Capture – Copies and stores the EDID from a display device

• Advanced Solution – Small and lightweight, indispensable asset in any digital signage application

• Standards Compliance – Supports DVI1.0 and DDC2B, fully implemented by fiber-optic communication

• Compliance with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 and 2 of FCC and CE

• Laser standards compliance – IEC 60825-1, FDA 21CFR1040;
  Laser Class 1: Safety of laser products

• Not HDCP Compliant

• No EMI/RFI

• Size – NanoTools

Powering the 602T and the 602R
Your 602T/602R pair comes with two 5V DC power adapters. The 602R must always be powered via the external power adapter. The 602T can take power from the external power adapter or from the 5V pin on the DVI card in the computer. However, when using most laptops or a computer with an express graphic card, an external power adapter is required. The 602T automatically detects if it is being powered via the external power adapter, and if so, the internal power supply cuts off.

Your Two-fiber Detachable Optical DVI Transmitter/Receiver
Figure 1 illustrates the 602T and 602R two-fiber detachable optical DVI extension system:

Using the Two-fiber Detachable Optical DVI System

This section describes how to:

• Capture the EDID of the display device (see Section 4.1)
• Connect the detachable optical DVI transmitter and receiver (see Section 4.2)
• Avoid pitfalls when using the 602T and 602R (see Section 4.3)

Capturing the EDID
The 602T and 602R are connected via two channels that transmit R, G, B and clock signals. The EDID of the display device is captured onto the transmitter for the computer to read.
The factory default EDID is set to UXGA (1600×1200) at 60Hz vertical refresh rate. If your display has this resolution, you do not need to capture the EDID.

You can capture the EDID of the display device on the 602T so that when the computer connects to the 602T, it reads the virtual EDID information and identify the display device. This procedure is performed only once for the connected display device. After storing the EDID, the system can be connected and disconnected without having to set the EDID again. If you decide to use a different display, then you need to set the EDID again.

To capture the EDID of a display device, do the following:

1. Connect the power to the display.

2. Connect the 5V power adapter to the power socket of the 602T, and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.

3. Push the EDID button (illustrated in Figure 2), using a small screwdriver. The EDID LED flashes twice and turns off.

4. Connect the 602T unit directly to the display device (while it is powered ON).
   The EDID LED flashes several times while reading the EDID. The LED turns OFF after about eight seconds.

5. Disconnect the transmitter from the display.
   The LED lights

6. Disconnect the 602T.
   The EDID information is now stored and the Indication LED is on.

Connecting the Detachable Optical DVI Transmitter/Receiver
To connect the 602T Two-fiber Detachable Optical DVI Transmitter with the 602R Two-fiber Detachable Optical DVI Receiver, as the example in Figure 4 illustrates, do the following:

1. Set the EDID of the display device (see Section 4.1).

2. Connect the 602R to the 5V DC power adapter and connect the adapter to the mains electricity. The blue LED lights.

3. Connect the duplex LC fiber cables to the 602T and 602R modules, one cable at a time, as illustrated in Figure 3.
   Single-mode and multi-mode fiber are applicable up to 500 meters. For distances over 500 meters, use single-mode fibers.

4. Plug the 602T DVI connector directly to the DVI connector of the computer. Do not use any intermediate cable or adapter between them, and connect cables 1 and 2 as indicated in Figure 3

5. Connect the 602R DVI connector directly to the DVI connector of the display device.

6. Turn ON the Power on the computer and then on the display device.

7. If the transmitter does not power up, connect the 5V power adapter to the 602T transmitter, and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
   You can use the power supplied through a DVI pin from the graphic cards instead of using the power adapter. After completing the installation, if the system does not seem to work properly, reconnect the power adapter while the system is powered.

Avoiding Pitfalls During Operation

• Check that all the AC and DC plugs and jacks used by the external power supplies are firmly connected
• Check that the DVI ports are firmly plugged into the computer and the display device, and be sure that the transmitter and receiver modules are correctly plugged into the computer and display device, respectively
• Check if the computer and display are powered ON and properly booted
• Reset the system by unplugging and then replugging the transmitter DVI port or receiver DVI port and then reboot the system

If the screen is distorted or displays noise:

• Check if the graphics resolution is properly set
• Go to the Display Properties of Windows and check the settings
• Be sure that the resolution is set for WUXGA (1920 x 1200) at 60Hz, or lower
• Reset the system
• Disconnect and reconnect the optical DVI cables

Be sure that at all times the cables are stored and used away from liquid or dirt.
