1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The Model 1110 generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions—may cause interference to radio and television reception. The Model 1110 has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 1110 does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the RS-232 interface, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).

1.2 SERVICE

All warranty and non-warranty repairs must be returned freight prepaid and insured to Patton Electronics. All returns must have a Return Materials Authorization number on the outside of the shipping container. This number may be obtained from Patton Electronics Technical Service at (301) 975-1007.

2.2DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 1110 miniature RS-232 fiber optic modem brings fiber to the desktop. Communicating over dual optical fibers, the Model 1110 supports data rates to 19.2 Kbps and distances to 1 mile. The Model 1110 operates full or half duplex and plugs directly into a workstation’s RS-232 port.

Like all fiber optic modems, the Model 1110 is inherently immune to RFI/EMI noise, ground loops and transient surges. The carrier may be switch selected as either “Continuously On” or “Controlled by RTS”, while an easily accessible DCE/DTE switch eliminates the need for cumbersome RS-232 crossover cables. Two easy-to-read LED indicators monitor the status of carrier detect and fiber optic output. Drawing all necessary power from the RS-232 interface, the Model 1110 requires no AC power or batteries to operate.

Measuring only 2.66” x 2.10” x .73”, the Model 1110 is able to fit into tight installation spaces. A convenient pop-open/snap-shut ABS plastic case allows easy access to configuration switches. On the RS-232 side, the Model 1110 comes equipped with either a male or female DB-25 connector; on the fiber side, it is available with a choice of SMA or ST connectors.
