a.) Using a voltmeter, verify that the power supply voltage

is within normal limits. (This step assumes that the

Power Supply in the the FiberĆOptic Rack is functional;

refer to section K3.2). The power status indicator on

the faceplate should be on. If it is off, unscrew the

captive screws on the faceplate and remove the

transceiver from the rack. Using a voltmeter, verify that

the rack is supplying 14 to 18 VAC through the plug in

the backplane. ReĆinsert the transceiver into the rack

securely. Replace the transceiver.

b.) Verify that the fiberĆoptic cables are connected

securely to the transceiver. Note that the LEDs on the

transceiver will flicker if it is sending/receiving

messages.

c.) Verify that the data signal wiring is connected securely

to the fourĆscrew terminal block as shown in figure

K2.4.

d.) If the transceiver is located at one of the extreme ends

of the rack, verify that the jumper is securely

connected between terminals 3 and 4 of the

transceiver's sixĆscrew terminal block.

K3.2

Power Supply Status Indicator is OFF

Problem: The green status light on the face of the Power Supply is

off. This light should be on to indicate the presence of power. If this

light is off, use the following procedure to isolate the cause.
Step 1.

Verify that the rocker switch on the front of the Power

Supply is in the ON position.

Step 2.

Verify that the Power Supply is receiving correct input

power.

Step 3.

Verify that the selector switch is in the appropriate

position (115 or 230).

Step 4.

Turn off power to the FiberĆOptic Rack. Remove the fuse

from the Power Supply and, using an ohmmeter, verify

that the fuse is not blown. If the fuse is good, reĆinsert it

and continue with step 5
If the fuse is blown, replace it with the fuse type specified

in Appendix A.

Step 5.

Turn on power to the rack. If the problem is not corrected,

replace the FiberĆOptic Rack and Power Supply.

FiberĆOptic Link Adjustment

If a fiberĆoptic link between any two transceivers is longer than 1000

meters and the values in registers 15Ć18 increase consistently, you

may have to adjust the duty cycle of the the received signal on each

end of the link. Use the following procedure:
Step 1.

Disconnect all other links from the network.

Step 2.

Connect an oscilloscope between terminals 1 and 2 on

the transceiver terminal block. The received signal

amplitude is approximately 4 volts peakĆtoĆpeak.
