INTRODUCTION
The OLSON TECHNOLOGY OTOR-300 is a very cost effective indoor wideband optical receiver with an RF
passband of 5 to 300 MHz. This transmitter is intended for indoor applications and combines the receiver and universal
AC power supply in one compact housing that has a footprint of 7.5" x 5.5" x 1.6". This unit has a universal power
supply and will operate from 90 to 240V
AC
at 50 or 60 Hz and consumes about 10 Watts.
The OTOR-300 is an ideal receiver for the OTPN-1000/OTPT-300 High Sensitivity Indoor Node and will allow for
an optical path loss of up to 18dB. Test points are provided for optical receiver power for the setup and historical
reveiw and for RF output level, again for setup and historical review.
Positive cooling is provided by means of a small, high-MTBF fan, which may be replaced in the field without interrupting
the operation of the unit.
The OTOR-300 has flanges on the bottom to allow mounting it to a flat surface. The available OTLL-RMKIT-1 will
allow mounting up to three of these units in a standard 19" rack.
INSTALLATION / ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The OTOR-300 is specified to operate from -10°C to +55°C. It will probably not require an air-conditioned environment.
It should be mounted in an adequately ventilated area. Like any other electronic equipment, it will probably have a
longer life span if it is not operated at the upper limit of the temperature range. Installation in wet areas or areas of
extremely high humidity should be avoided. Extremely dirty or dusty areas should be avoided if possible. Objects or
debris should not be allowed to block the openings in the housing or the fan. The unit should not be installed in areas
that are accessible to children.
The OTOR-300 may be installed and operated in any position on a flat surface. The unit has four slots in the bottom
plate to accommodate mounting hardware. If mounting requires a wood screw, use #6 or #8 (maximum) pan-head
sheet metal screws. These are commonly available at hardware stores. If mounting with a machine screw (to tapped
holes), use 6-32 pan-head screws.
