Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where can I find replacement parts for the Fiber Optics of the RS-422 Converter?
A: Replacement parts can be found on our website at www.RiceLake.com. Refer to the part numbers and descriptions provided in the manual for ordering.
Q: What is the maximum distance for applications using the converter?
A: The converter can be used in applications up to 150 ft.
- The fiber optics to RS-422 converter (PN 196770) takes fiber optic light and turns it into a signal for RS-422 communications.
- The converter is located in an external FRP enclosure that is remotely powered and can be used in applications up to 150 ft.
- Manuals are available from Rice Lake Weighing Systems at www.ricelake.com/manuals Warranty information is available at www.ricelake.com/warranties
- IMPORTANT: Use anti-static protection for grounding and to protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working inside the enclosure.
- WARNING: Disconnect the enclosure from the power source before opening.
Dimension
Fiber Optics Assembly
- The fiber optics to RS-422 converter is equipped with a duplex fiber-optic port for communicating with an 882IS or 882IS Plus located in the safe area.
- It provides electrical isolation and eliminates the use of I/O barriers commonly used in intrinsically safe systems. The optical fibers are plastic and the terminated ends must be properly polished before installation.
- Refer to POF Polishing Kit (PN 197384), for complete instructions on polishing the fiber-optic ends. See Figure 1 on page 1 for the location of the duplex fiber-optic port in the fiber optics to RS-422 converter.
- WARNING: Disconnect all power before opening the units being updated.
- IMPORTANT: The fiber-optic connections between the 882IS and 882IS Plus indicator and the RS-422 converter need to be cross-linked.
- The optical output of the 882IS indicator should be attached to the input of the RS-422 converter, and the indicator input to the module output.
- Use the following steps for assembling the fiber-optic connectors of the fiber-optic to RS-422 converter.
- Cut off the ends of the fiber-optic cable (150 ft length maximum), with a proper cutting tool such as a fiber-optic hot knife (PN 85548) or cutting block (PN 80892), ensuring no bends 90° or greater are in the cable.
- NOTE: The cut end of the fiber-optic cable must be cut flush so that the core and outside insulation are equal. Core exposure can lead to failure.
- Polish the fiber ends per the fiber polishing kit.
- Insert the fiber-optic cable through the locking nut and into the connector until the core tip seats against the internal micro-lens; then back it out 1/16th in (1 mm).
- Screw the connector locking nut down to a snug fit, locking the fiber-optic cable in place.
Remote Power Source for Fiber Optics to RS-422 Converter
NOTE: If the source indicator has a digital input/output, it will provide 5V which can be used to power the card. Connector J3 provides connections for power/RS-422.
