INSTALLING A D3LX RMT MODULE IN A REMOTE CABINET

Avoid exposure to invisible laser radiation.

• Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber or directly into the module fiber connectors as exposure to invisible laser radiation may result.

•Use a meter to verify active fibers.

•Do not insert module edge connectors into the chassis connectors before connecting the optical fiber to the module. Verify that LED indicators are not lit, and the module is not engaged with the chassis connectors before proceeding.

Use the following procedure to install D3LX RMT modules in a Four-Position Remote Terminal Cabinet or Two-Position QLX Remote BNC Chassis. After installing the D3LX RMT modules in either chassis, proceed to “Power Verification” on page 16.

FOUR-POSITION REMOTE TERMINAL CABINET INSTALLATION

To install first the working module, and then the protect module (if installing D3LX RMT modules in protection switching applications):

1Open the front panel of the remote terminal into which the D3LX RMT will be installed.

2Route the fiber patch cord through the top of the chassis and around the radius limiters as shown in Figure 8. The protective cover must remain on the fiber connector to prevent dust and damage to the connection. The fiber should be tagged to identify the circuit.
