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 P
OWER 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.
