* Note that as provided from the factory, the universal data transceiver is set to the RS-232 point-to-point
(200 kbps) and low speed modes of operation. In the low speed mode the unit will operate with all duty
cycles including DC (logic 0 or logic 1 continuously). In the high speed mode of operation, the system will
operate properly with all duty cycles from 50-50% to 70-30%.
General Information
The Universal Data Transceiver is fully compatible with EIA standards for RS-232, RS-422 and
RS-485 at data rates from 0 (DC) to 2.1 mbps (200 kbps for RS-232) in the low speed mode
or from 10 kbps to 10 mbps in the high speed mode. It may be used for simplex or full
duplex asynchronous transmissions in both point-to-point systems and drop-and-repeat
data networks. It may also be used as a protocol converter. Although there are no operating
controls, the user must congure the unit for the protocol, speed and mode of operation
desired.
The universal data transceiver comes in two versions, the 5012 stand-alone model and the
5018A card-cage model. The two models are fully compatible with each other.

Fiberlink® 5012 Operation Theory
Theory of Operation
The transmitting section of the universal data transceiver converts an incoming RS-232,
RS-422 or RS-485 signals into pulses of light at the transmitting LED located in the “Transmit
(or Tx)” optical connector on the unit. These pulses of light equate to ON for a positive input
level and OFF for a negative or zero input level.
The receiving section of the universal data transceiver produces a user selectable RS-232,
RS-422 or RS-485 compatible output from the received light at the photodiode located in
the “Receive (or Rx)” optical connector on the unit. Due to the fact that all internal logic
signals are converted to either light-on or light-o, any protocol may be used in conjunc-
tion with any other protocol, thereby allowing the transceiver to be used as a data
converter as well as a general data transceiver. In addition, provision is incorporated to
allow drop and repeat operation with any protocol.
During normal operation, the RTS line (terminal block position 6) is not used. In external
RTS operation (for RS-485), terminal block position 6 is used as an enable input to toggle
the unit between transmit and receive. In this mode a positive input switches the unit to
the transmit mode while a zero input switches the unit to the receive mode. As an alter-
native, the unit may be automatically switched from transmit to receive by means of an
internal data-driven timer (Data-Derived T/R switching).

Installation instructions
There are no operating controls on the universal data transceiver. Simply set the mode of
operation with the internal DIP switches and then connect the signal, power supply and
ber optic cables between the two units.
1. Connect the data processing equipment to be used to the 6 position terminal block
on the 5012 . Refer to the signal and power connections section on page 6 for specics.
Be certain that the various connections are made properly. Also be sure to only use
the positions called out for any particular protocol.
2. Set the internal DIP switches for the protocol, speed and mode of operation accord-
ing to the instructions beginning on page 8. Note: As provided from the factory, the
unit is set for RS-232, point-to-point.
3. Connect operating power ( +10 to +18 VDC ). Refer to Figure 1 for DC power
connections.
4. Connect the 5012 units together with two conductor ber optic cable. Be certain
that the “Transmit” connector of one unit is connected to the “Receive” connector of
the other unit.
5. The system should now be operational.

The transmitting element in the Fiberlink® 5012 transmitter
unit contains a solid state Laser Diode located in the optical
connector. This device emits invisible infrared electromagnetic
radiation which can be harmful to human eyes. The radiation
from this optical connector, if viewed at close range with no
ber optic cable connected to the optical connector, may be
sucient intensity to cause instantaneous damage to the
retina of the eye. Direct viewing of this radiation should be
avoided at all times!

Signal and Power Connections
The power terminal block connections for the model 5012 are as follows: +10 to +18 VDC,
position 2. DC return, position 1. Note that this input is also reverse-polarity protected.
RS-232 Signal Connections:
Description EIA Designation Terminal Positions
Chassis Ground/Common (AA) 1
Transmit Data (BA) (input) 2
Receive Data (BB) (output) 4
Signal Common (AB) 1
All other terminal block positions should not be connected for this format.
RS-422 Signal Connections:
Chassis Ground 1
Transmit Data (+) (input) 2
Transmit Data (-) (input) 3
Receive Data (+) (output) 4
Receive Data (-) (output) 5
All other terminal block positions should not be connected for this format.
The transmitting element in the “-7” single mode version of the universal data
transceiver uses a solid state Laser Diode located in the “Transmit” or “Tx”
optical connector on the unit. This device emits invisible infrared electro-
magnetic radiation which, if viewed at close range without a ber optic cable
connected to the optical connector, may be of sucient intensity to cause
instantaneous damage to the retina of the eye. As a result, direct viewing of
this radiation should be avoided at all times.

Transmit/Receive Data (+) (input/output) 2
Transmit/Receive Data (-) (input/output) 3
RTS Enable (when used) (input) 6
All other terminal block positions should not be connected for this format.

Transmit Data (+) (input) 2
Transmit Data (-) (input) 3
Receive Data (+) (output) 4
Receive Data (-) (output) 5
RTS Enable (when used) (input) 6
All other terminal block positions should not be connected for this format.
When the RTS mode of operation is used, the input to terminal 6 must be “high” for the unit to transmit data
and “low” to receive data.
Modes of Operation:
On the 5012 stand-alone model of the universal data transceiver, there are two internal DIP
switches which are accessible on the bottom of the housing. These must be set to congure
the desired mode of operation.

Fiberlink® 5012 DIP Switch Settings
Setting the MODE DIP switch
Switch setting example
For all protocols, positions 1 and 2 of the MODE DIP switch should be set as follows:
· Low speed mode (DC to 2.1 mbps):
Position 1 = ON, Position 2 = OFF
· High speed mode (10 kbps to 10 mbps):
Position 1 = OFF, Position 2 = ON
For RS-232, the data rate is limited to 200 kbps. For RS-422/485, the data rate is as above.
The universal data transceiver will not operate properly if positions 1 and 2 are both set to either ON or OFF.
