Connecting a Two Channel Base System with Remote Belt Packs
Fig. 3-1: Connecting a Two Channel Base System with Remote Belt Packs
Connect the Two-Channel Two-Wire Intercom System (1) and CommLink FXC-S201 Fiber
Optic Intercom Link Unit "A" (2). In this example it is assumed that the CommLink FXC-S201
Fiber Optic Intercom Link is powered from the intercom. Run a Single Strand Fiber Cable
(3) between CommLink FXC-S201 Fiber Optic Intercom Link Unit "B" (4) and power the
CommLink FXC-S201 Fiber Optic Intercom Link using the appropriate power supply (5).
Connect your intercom Belt Packs in normal daisy chain fashion to the CommLink FXC-S201
Fiber Optic Intercom Link. The number of Belt Packs will depend on whether they are self-
powered or are powered by the CommLink FXC-S201 Fiber Optic Intercom Link. When
powered by the CommLink FXC-S201 Fiber Optic Intercom Link you can expect 5 units to
work per channel.
Remember that CommLink FXC-S201 Fiber Optic Intercom Link "A" must have a WDM factor
different from CommLink FXC-S201 Fiber Optic Intercom Link "B." You must use a WDM
@1550nm unit at one end of the fiber cable and a WDM@1310nm at the other end of the
fiber cable.
