INTRODUCTION
INSTALLATION / ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Olson Technology Inc. OTPN-2000C is a high-quality, cost-effective, bi-directional
CATV node designed with the latest optical receiver technology. It operates with optical
input levels ranging from -6dBm to +2dBm. The receive RF path include a plug-in 15dB
equalizer to provide for sloped output response as well as plug-in pads to set the
forward and reverse RF gains. The OTPN-2000C is available with two different band
splits.
OTPN-2000C 5-42MHz Reverse Band, 54-1,000MHz Forward Band
The OTPN-2000C does not come with a reverse transmitter. The OTPT-300 return
transmitter is field-installed in the OTPN-2000C node. The OTPN-2000C has a
universal power supply that allows operation from 90-240 V @ 50 or 6 Hz. It consumes
less than 23 Watts of power
. Positive cooling is
provided by means of a small, high-MTBF fan, which may be replaced in the field
without interrupting operation. The OTPN-2000C has flanges on the bottom to allow
mounting it to a flat surface. The available OTLL-RMKIT-2 will allow mounting up to
three of these nodes in a standard 19" rack.
The OTPN-2000C operates from -10°C to +55°C. An air-conditioned environment is
usually not required. Mount in an adequately ventilated area. Like all electronic
equipment, it will have a longer life span if it is not operated at higher temperatures. Do
not install in wet areas or areas of extremely high humidity. Avoid extremely dirty or
dusty areas. Do not block the openings in the housing or the fan. Do not install the
OTPN-2000C in areas that are accessible to children. The OTPN-2000C 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. Mount with a #6 or #8 pan-head
sheet metal screw, or a 6-32 pan-head machine screw. See Figure 1 for dimensions and
mounting details. This is due to limited clearance under the OTPT-300 that is above
some of the mounting slots. If the OTPN-2000C has an installed OTPT-300, mounting
or dismounting the unit does not require the disconnection of the OTPT-300. The fiber
connector can be moved to the other end of the unit. Make forward and reverse RF
adjustments to the OTPN-2000C before mounting in a rack mount kit.
