6 Description
3. Description
ME615A, ME615AE, ME616A, ME616AE , asynchronous RS-485 miniature fiber
optic modems, transmit an RS-485 or V.11 signal via a fiber optic link. They are
typically used for data transmission in utility applications. The asynchronous data
rate can be up to 115.2 kbps in full- or half-duplex mode.
The modems perform diagnostic loopbacks in compliance with ITU V.54 standard.
Two V.54 loopbacks are available: local analog (Loop 3) and remote digital
(Loop 2). The loopbacks are activated via external DIP switches. Local digital
loopback is also available. The loopbacks are available in V.11 mode only.
The devices include a built-in V.52 standard BER tester for testing link integrity.
The internal BER tester is activated by an external DIP switch. The ERR LED blinks
when an error is detected in the data transmission.
ME615A, ME615AE, ME616A, ME616AE incorporate all the advantages of a fiber
optic system, providing:
• Lower attenuation than with copper wire
• EMI/RFI immunity, saving the cost of expensive and heavy shielding, and
complex error checking routines
• Almost absolute security and reduction in the cost of data encryption
• Eavesdropping is virtually impossible as negligible power is radiated from the
fiber
• Safety and electrical isolation: no spark hazard and no ground-loop noise
problems.
The modems operate with an external 9 VDC, 300 mA power supply.

5. Installation
When setting the jumpers or performing any actions inside the open product, be
careful not to bend or break any components.
To install ME615A, ME615AE, ME616A, ME616AE :
1. Open the plastic case by pressing on the points indicated on the sides.
2. Configure the modem according to the desired mode (see Figure 1 and
Table 1).

3. For full- or half-duplex operation over 4-wire:
Set the H.D./F.D. switch to F.D. for full-duplex or H.D. for half-duplex
Set the 4W/2W switch to 4W.
4. For half-duplex operation over 2-wire:
Set the H.D./F.D. switch to H.D.
Set the 4W/2W switch to 2W.
5. Set the CARR. HOLD switch to 4.4 msec.
6. Close the unit by pressing the two halves of the unit together.
7. Connect the DTE:
For the terminal block versions:
Connect the 4- or 2-wire UTP or STP line, observing the following polarity:
4-wire: TDA and TDB clips are data output from the modem; RDA and
RDB clips are data input to the modem (see Figure 2).
2-wire: RDA and RDB clips are data input/output in and from the modem
(see Figure 2).
