USER GUDE RLH ndustries, nc. The leader in rugged fiber optic technology. U139 2017C1027 Analog Signal DN Fiber Link System SYSTEM NSTALLATON NFORMATON Description The Analog Signal DN Fiber Link system transmits an analog data signal, 4~20mA or 0~10VDC, over one optical fiber. This system is designed to provide highly accurate signal transmission at a high sample rate. Compatible with most PLC's, Sensors (2, 3, or 4 wire), and other types of equipment where a precise current or voltage measurement needs to be taken and transmitted over fiber. The system comprises of a transmitter () and a receiver (), each enclosed in a compact DN and wall mountable housing. This compact and rugged system provides convenient and easy to read LEDs, supports both singlemode and multimode fiber applications, and includes an alarm on the receiver enabling system health monitoring. RLH Fiber Link systems are designed to operate over an extreme temperature range, providing reliability in harsh environments. t is made in the U.S.A and is covered by our Limited Lifetime Warranty. 4~20mA System Designed for equipment to measure a 420mA current signal at the transmitter and to output a 420mA signal at the receiver. 420mA systems are less susceptible to noise interference, can easily detect an open circuit, and current measurement remains the same in any point of the signal path. 0~10VDC System Designed to measure a 010VDC signal at the transmitter and output the same 010VDC signal at the receiver. The 010VDC fiber system extends the measurement of voltage signals over long distances without compromising accuracy and reliability. Analog Signal DN Fiber Link System Standard Features Convenient LED status indicators Available with ST or SC connectors, single or multimode fiber Precision measurement, high degree of accuracy 24VDC local power source required for each unit Pluggable terminal blocks Alarm contact for status monitoring Environmentally rugged with wide operating temp. 40 F to 158 F (40 C to 70 C) Standard T35 DN rail or wall mount applications Limited Lifetime Warranty Designed and Made in the U.S.A.

General Safety Practices The equipment discussed in this document may require tools designed for the purpose being described. RLH recommends that service personnel be familiar with the correct handling and use of any installation equipment used, and follow all safety precautions including the use of protective personal equipment as required. Caution Severe Shock Hazard Never install during a lightning storm or where unsafe high voltages are present. Use caution when handling copper wiring and follow appropriate safety regulations. Guidelines for Handling Terminated Fiber Cable Do not bend fiber cable sharply. Use gradual and smooth bends to avoid damaging glass fiber. Keep dust caps on fiber optic connectors at all times when disconnected. Do not remove dust caps from unused fiber. Keep fiber ends and fiber connectors clean and free from dust, dirt and debris. Contamination will cause signal loss. Do not touch fiber ends. Store excess fiber on housing spools or fiber spools at site Acronyms Commonly used acronyms, terminology, and abbreviations. Acronym/Abbreviation PWR NC COM NO T Transmit Receive Power Normally Closed Common Normally Open 420mA Transmitter Description RCV Sinking Sourcing 420mA nput/receiver Does not provide voltage, expects a from the incoming signal. Provides a voltage on the 420mA signal. Page 2 RLH ndustries, nc. Tel. 866DO Fax 714 5321885 www.fiberopticlink.com
Applications By utilizing fiber optic cable, the 4~20mA / 0~10VDC Analog Signal system provides absolute electrical isolation between both ends of the communications network. t is immune to EM/RF interference, ground loops, and high voltage surges from lightning or ground faults, and is ideal in electrically noisy environments such as near large power sources, electrical motors, and radio communications equipment. Network and control equipment in high voltage areas can be at risk due to Ground Potential Rise (GPR). A copper network cable referenced to a remote ground can become a path for high voltages during a ground fault. Placement of alldielectric fiber optic cable (instead of copper) completely eliminates the presence of a remote ground, which dramatically increases safety of personnel and reliability of equipment.

nstallation Prior to installation: Check for shipping damage. Check the contents to ensure correct model and fiber type. Have a clean, dry installation environment ready. Ensure that the fiber type at the site matches the system type. Required for installation: 24VDC power source at both installation sites. DN rail for mounting, or wall space for wall mounting. Multimeter Measure the DC voltage of the source power to ensure that it is 24VDC. All electrical and fiber optic connection are made directly onto the unit.

Connect Fiber Optic Cable Connect fiber to the transmit and receive optical connectors on the front of the units. Fiber cable should always be routed loosely avoiding tight bends. Once the system is properly connected the Link LED, on the receiver unit, should turn ON. Connect Copper Wire Pairs The wire pairs from the sensor or controller equipment connect to the green screwdown terminals on the transmitter and receiver modules labeled nput and Output. Observe polarity on the input and output connectors. The contact terminals may be removed and accept wire sizes 16~26 AWG. Fully seat the terminal block back into the connector before operating the system. Receiver Alarm Contact Wiring The contact will alarm when the fiber link is down or a power failure. Use the NO or NC contact positions as required. The alarm terminal block may be removed and accept wire sizes 16~26 AWG. Fully seat the terminal block back into the connector before operating the system. Connect Power Ensure power supply is OFF prior to wiring the system. Connect a 24VDC power supply to the screwdown terminals labeled PWR located on the top of the unit. Requires one (1) 24VDC power supply on each side of the system. Fully seat the terminal block back into the connector before operating the system. Note: Power input is NOT polarity sensitive.
