Installation Instructions Fiberlink® 7500 Series Installation Instructions The Fiberlink® 7500 Series of fiber optic transmission systems are ready for immediate use and do not require any special tools or equipment. However, an Optical Power Meter, such as the Fiberlink® 6615, can be useful in determining optical loss budgets during your systems design and system maintenance. The following instructions describe the typical installation procedure: 1) Power off your computer and the 7500 Series units.
Installation Instructions | EDID Switch Settings Fiberlink® 7500 Series Installation Instructions (cont.) Figure 1: ( - ) Negative Power Connector (+) Positive DC Input Polarity 9-24 Volts AC or DC EDID Switch Settings The EDID Switch has two positions, Internal and Loop, as described in the chart below. For complete instructions on how to operate the 7500 Series’ Triple EDID function, please refer to the “Triple EDID Function” section of this manual on page 8.
Fiberlink® 7500 Series Triple EDID Function Triple EDID Function The Fiberlink® 7500 Series of fiber optic transmission systems come with a unique “Triple EDID” feature set that allows you to capture and store EDID information, acquire EDID information from a connected loop-through display, or allow the7500/7510 or 7502/7512 unit to generate the EDID internally, on-the-fly. The procedure for implementing each are described below.
Triple EDID Function Fiberlink® 7500 Series Triple EDID Function (cont.) Using stored EDID information: Before you can use a stored EDID setting, you must capture and store EDID information as described in the “Capturing and storing EDID information” procedure. 1) Power off your computer and the 7500 Series units. 2) Set the EDID switch to the “Internal” position. 3) Any DVI display can be connected to the loop-through port of the 7500/10/14 or 7502/12/16.
Lock Bandwidth & Input Equalization Fiberlink® 7500 Series Lock Bandwidth and Input Equalization The 7500/7510/7514 and 7502/7512/7516 transmitter units have a Lock Bandwidth (BW) and Input Equalizer (EQ) Setting Dip switches located on the front panel. The default equalizer (EQ) setting is for a short DVI cable, less than 10 feet. The default Bandwidth (BW) setting is NARROW BW. This should work for most clean, “noise-free” DVI sources.
System Connections Fiberlink® 7500 Series System Connections The input and output connections for the Fiberlink 7500 Series are as follows: Audio Connector (Transmitter & Receiver): 3.
Alarm Switch Settings & Options Fiberlink® 7500 Series Alarm Switch Settings & Options The Rack Card version of this product has an additional red indicator LED that illuminates when an alarm condition exists. The rack card unit also provides an output to drive a model 6020 Alarm Sensing Module which provides an audible tone and activates a set of contacts for external signaling purposes.
Indicator LEDs Fiberlink® 7500 Series Indicator LEDs The Fiberlink® 7500 Series has three integral indicator LEDs that are used to monitor the state of the unit. Card versions have an additional Alarm LED. Transmitter LEDs LED Status Definition Power On Indicates that correct power has been applied.

Fiberlink® 7500 Series Operating Pointers | Troubleshooting Operating Pointers The 7500 Series is available in versions that operate with multimode (MM, 62.5u, 50u) and single mode (SM) optical fibers. Be certain that the correct size fiber is being used for this particular transmitter/receiver combination. Also, remember to check attenuation and bandwidth of the fiber optic cable. The system will only operate properly if these specifications fall within the range of the system’s loss budget.
