Fiber Test Mode
Redundant Power
Isolation Protection
To help ensure that your system works non-stop, the ICF-1170I CAN-
to-fiber converter comes with a built-in redundant power input that is
activated automatically when the primary power input fails. In addition,
A special feature of the ICF-1170I CAN-to-fiber converter is its 2 KV isolation protection to protect the converter in environments with high
electromagnet activity.
an alarm contact will be activated when the redundant power input is
activated.
Special Features
The ICF-1170I supports a special feature called Fiber Test Mode, which
is easily activated with a DIP switch on the ICF-1170I’s outer panel.
Fiber Test Mode can be used to test the fiber cable between two ICF-
1170I units, and provides a simple way to determine if the fiber cable
is transmitting data correctly.
When in Fiber Test Mode, the fiber transceiver (TX) will continuously
send out a data signal and the “Fiber TX” LED will light up. On the
other side of the connection, when the ICF-1170I fiber transceiver (RX)
receives the data signal from the TX side, the “Fiber RX” LED will light
up.
If both the “Fiber TX” and “Fiber RX” LEDs light up at the same time,
it means the fiber transmission between the two converters is okay,
and the fiber cable is connected properly. If the test fails, you should
check the fiber cable and fiber connectors to determine the cause of
the transmission error.
Fiber optic communication is working properly when
both the TX and RX LEDs will light up.
