(FC) Fiber Optic Communications Modem Option; Features Async Data Rates Up to 500 Kbps* Distances up to 20km Multimode or Single Mode (850/1300/1550nm) Switch-Selectable 2-wire or 4-wire RS-485 Mix & Match RS-232/422/485 Built-In Test Signal Generator 8 LEDs & 8 DIP Switches for Diagnostics Low Power Consumption Local Dry Contact Alarm High Temperature (-20°C to 70°C) Version Optional The TC1520 is a highly versatile 2-wire RS-485 fiber optic modem that can mix or match RS-422 or RS-485 (2-wire or 4-wire) interfaces, as required. For example, a user could have a 2-wire RS-485 interface on one end and an RS-422 or 4-wire RS-485 interface on the other. 2-wire RS-485 versions can be converted to 4-wire RS-485 by simply changing a DIP switch. The TC1520 supports asynchronous data rates up to 500 Kbps*, depending on the electrical interface, and is compatible with all popular types and sizes of multimode (850/1300nm) or single mode (1300/1550nm) fiber optic cable. Distances up to 20km are possible. Customer must specify whether single or multimode operation will be used. Diagnostics include a built-in Test Signal Generator that verifies both device and fiber optic link operation. This feature benefits users by helping technicians verify that both local and remote devices and the fiber optic link are operating normally. Local and Remote Loopback Tests are available to verify electrical and fiber connections. Eight DIP switches and seven LED indicators are provided to help installation and troubleshooting. An extreme temperature version (-20°C to 70°C), Model TC1520T, is also available. |
