SAT Fibre Headend OTX 1310 and OTX 1550
The location for the SAT FO Headend OTX has been selected.
SAT Wideband LNB TWB 40 has also been installed following its separate user manual.
The passive optical network (PON) has been planned and installed correctly; using TRIAX approved
optical couplers and cables.
All ferrule end faces of the FC/PC optical connectors are cleaned prior to making a connection using a
suitable fibre.
Specific safety instructions
Never connect the PSU on mains before all cables have been connected to the OTX unit completely.
Never look with into a fibre core line or fibre connector that is operating with a laser transmitter like in
the OTX. The laser light is not visible but can harm the eye. Take also care for Laser Class 1 in EN 60825-
1.
Do not connect unfiltered terrestrial antennas directly to the port labelled FM/DAB/DTT.
Not used F-connectors shall be closed with DC blocked 75 Ohm terminator like TRIAX RFC 75 DCB
(350659).
The OTX unit needs to connect with the wire for potential equalization of the building!
The grounding cable can be clamped with screw and tooth washer onto a fasten hole in the feet of the
OTX unit or the OTX is mounted on a grounded mast or base plate.
Installation
TRIAX recommends locating the OTX unit in a dry room or cabinet. Alternatively outdoor installation is possible i.e.
directly onto the pole or mast behind a dish by using the mounting bracket (see below, order separately) and the
fibre and coaxial connectors should be water proofed e.g. by gel boot and amalgamating tape.
Optical connection
Clean the output fibre optical connector and check the optical power using a suitable optical power
meter. Optical power out of the OTX should be +8dBm ±0.5dB.
Clean the optical connector of the patch cable and connect it to the optical output of the OTX unit,
ensuring the keyway is aligned.
Coaxial connections
Ports labelled V or H should be connected to a suitable wideband LNB (recommended TRIAX TWB 40)
ensuring correct polarizations are connected to the relevant ports. Voltage is supplied for LNB powering
V: +12V, H: +20V. Maximum current 500mA incl. Terrestrial.
