DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

Calibrating the Sender Unit and Receiver Unit

IMPORTANT: Before beginning the calibration process, make sure that the Sender Unit and Receiver are not powered.

1.Make sure DIP switch 3 on both the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit are in the OFF position (see page 9).

2.Connect one end of the fiber cable to the Sender Unit. Connect the other end of the fiber cable to the Receiver Unit.

3.Make sure DIP switch 3 on both the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit are in the OFF position (see page 9).

4.Connect the 5V DC Locking Power Supplies to the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit. Do not overtighten the locking connectors. Plug the power cord into an available electrical outlet.

The LED indicators on both the Sender Unit and Receiver Unit will alternate from red to green during the calibration process. The calibration process can take up to 120 seconds to complete.

After the calibration process has finished, the LED indicators on both the Sender unit and the Receiver unit will turn solid green. Set DIP switch 3 to the ON position on both the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit to lock the calibration settings.

NOTE: If the fiber optic cable is changed, repeat the calibration procedure.

Troubleshooting Procedure

•If the Sender Unit and Receiver Unit did not complete the calibration process, the indicator LEDs on both Sender Unit and Receiver Unit will be red. Check the fiber connections carefully and cycle the power on both the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit and repeat the calibration procedure.

•When the indicator LED at one unit is GREEN and the other is RED, cycle power on the unit with the RED indicator. It is also recommended to cycle power on both the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit to perform a full calibration.

•If the calibration procedure continues to fail, contact Gefen Technical Support under the Asking For Assistance section at the beginning of this manual.
