3.2 Fiber
The fiber optic port has been optimized for operation with 62.5/125 micron
cable and comes equipped with ST type fiber optic connectors for the transmit
and receive fibers.
4.0 Operation
The Model 276A can be connected to any RS-485 device running at speeds
up to 1 MHz. To connect the units, the connections 'Data In' are connected
to the 2 wire data from the RS-485 equipment and the 'Data Out' provides
a signal to the receive data pins of the RS-485 equipment. To connect
the 276A to another 276A the fiber connector marked T should be connected
to the far end fiber connector marked R, and the local R to the far end
T.
5.0 Power
The Model 276A is powered by a small DC power adapter that supplies reduced
DC voltage. In addition, power can be applied to the Model 276A by using
pin 9 on the DB25 female connector and pin 7 as the ground connection.
When using this pin, the input voltage should be +12VDC.
