Important Information

Reporting Defects

The units were inspected before shipment and found to be free of mechanical and electrical defects.

Examine the units for any damage which may have been caused in transit. If damage is discovered, file a claim with the freight carrier immediately. Notify Foxcom as soon as possible.

Note Keep all packing material until you have completed the inspection.

Precautions

Personal Safety

OPTICAL RADIATION

Applying power to the transmitter unit will create a laser energy source operating in Class I as defined by IEC 825-1. Use either an infrared viewer, optical power meter or fluorescent screen for optical output verification.

AC POWER HAZARD

The rackmount power supply line is EMI filtered. The chassis is connected to earth ground in compliance with safety requirements. Always use the 3-prong AC plug with earth ground to avoid possibility of electrical shock hazard to personnel.

Equipment Safety

To avoid damaging your product, please observe the following:

1.The output of the receiver is AC coupled and can withstand the bias from a satellite receiver. Do not exceed 25V DC bias.

2.The input of the transmitter has an optional built-in bias for inserting DC power up the coax to the LNB. Make certain that any equipment or test equipment connected to the transmitter input can withstand this bias.

3.Do not allow any dirt or foreign material to get into the optical connector bulkheads. This may cause damage to the polished optical connector end faces.

4.The optical fiber jumper cable bend radius is 3 cm. Smaller radii can cause excessive optical loss and/or fiber breakage.

5.If multiple transmitters are installed in the chassis allow sufficient room for adequate ventilation; otherwise the units may overheat causing possible safety hazard or equipment damage.

6.Fuses: The 7180M chassis does not have fuses. If the unit fails, pull the power supply out from the chassis and then push it back in.

7.When several units are installed on one 7180M chassis, ensure that the total units’ current consumption (including any LNB bias) does not exceed 6A.
