Overview
General
TereScope 1 is a wireless optical communication link for transferring data over a distance of up to 470 m (1540 ft) at 17 dB/km.
The TereScope 1 is unique in that data transmission and reception is fully optical.
Most wireless links have an interface unit for transferring data between the transmission lines and air transciever. In the TereScope 1, optical data is directly transferred between a special fiberoptic cable and the air, using appropriate beam-shaping optics, without any intermediate processing electronics. This technology eliminates all the disadvantages of electrical components (e.g., electric power, RFI/EMI, etc.) while providing all the inherent advantages of optics (e.g., large bandwidth, greater reliability, higher security, etc.).
The TereScope 1 is used with a special fiberoptic cable and electro-optic module provided by MRV. The fiberoptic cable has differing transmit and receive fibers.
The module can be a plug-in module for the OptiSwitch family of OSI Layer 2 and
3 compliant switches, or a standalone media converter switch.
The Terescope 1 has a special proprietary coating on the lenses in order to prevent condensation effects on the lenses. As an additional safety measure against moisture build-up on its lenses, the TereScope 1 system also includes an optional heating element. This heating element is powered by a power supply
(supplied with the TereScope 1 system) located near the switch/media converter via an extra-low-voltage power limiting circuit and two copper conductors integrated into the supplied optical cable.
For convenience, it is recommended that at least the rooftop portion of the heating installation (cabling and connections) be made so that if heating is required, only the indoor power connection needs to be made.
Models
Two models of the TereScope 1 are available. Table 1 specifies the differences
between the models.

Pre-Installation
General
Site survey is key for finding a suitable geographical area for an optical wireless link. A good site survey, which covers all aspects of the installation requirements, is a pre-requisite for satisfactory link installation and operation. Accordingly, it is important:
• To determine the optimal geographical location for the link elements.
• That customers recognize their responsibilities prior to installation.
On completion of the link design, the Site Survey Form (shown in Appendix C:
Site Survey Form) should be filled out to assure complete coverage of all
installation aspects.
Tools & Equipment
The following equipment are useful in performing a successful and accurate site survey:
• Rangefinder binoculars
• Digital camera
14
TereScope 1
ML46508, Rev. 05 April 2004
• Compass
• GPS receiver
• 3m’ tape measure.
• Site Survey Form (shown in Appendix C: Site Survey Form)
Site Survey Procedure
Site Suitability
1. Try to avoid East-West directions for links because even if 0.5º of the sun disk overlaps the receiver telescope, errors may occur on a few days in a year for a few minutes each day.
2. Choose buildings of medium height. Avoid tops of skyscrapers because of their large sway. In suburban areas, you should choose the tallest building in the area that is not too tall.
Line of Sight
1. Make sure that no obstacles cross the line of sight between the two
TereScope 1s.
Examples of obstacles are: Growing trees, New buildings, Crane movement,
Bridges over which tall vehicles may pass, Birds nesting, Hot surfaces (such as metal or black roofs), Exhaust gases or dust clouds, Smoke from chimneys.
2. Photograph the line of sight view from the rooftops.
Note
It is important to photograph the view containing the line of sight from the elevation at which you are going to mount the TereScope 1s. The photograph can be used to: Recheck the location for details that may have been overlooked during the survey, Show it for consultation, etc.
Range and Location
1. Referring to the data in Appendix A: Product Specification, under Operating
Range, choose and record the distance between the two TereScope 1s of the
link. (You can use any of the following equipment to determine the distance: rangefinder laser binoculars, GPS receiver, maps, etc.)
2. Noting that the length of fiberoptic cabling (interconnecting a TereScope 1 and
OptiSwitch or Media Converter) should not exceed 50 m (164 ft), choose and record the acceptable distance between each TereScope 1 and the OptiSwitch
(or Media Converter).
3. Noting that two TereScope 1s are required per link, record the quantity of each model of the TereScope 1 required. Each OptiSwitch module supports up to two links, and the OptiSwitch may support several modules depending on the model. Accordingly, one OptiSwitch may be sufficient for connecting several
(possibly all) TereScope 1s at one end of the links provided the maximum fiber
cable length, specified in Step 2 above, is not exceeded.
4. Record the bearing to the opposite site by compass.
15
TereScope 1
ML46508, Rev. 05 April 2004
5. Record the number of links to be installed at the site.
6. Note whether additional sheltering is needed for the TereScope 1s, for e.g.,
against strong winds (120km/h or more) – see Appendix C: Site Survey Form
for details.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 show optimal and acceptable locations for the
TereScope 1 links. Notice that in both figures the TereScope 1s are mounted on rooftop edges and high enough above the ground.

Transmitting through a Window
1. Determine the number of surfaces the beam transits or is reflected from, the reflectivity of each surface, and condensation/precipitation collection areas.
2. Use the data below to determine whether the light beam attenuation is acceptable. o 4% attenuation for each surface of light reflection. o 15% attenuation for a double pane window. o Attenuation due to tint in windowpane must be taken into consideration in choosing the right TereScope 1 model. (The % attenuation depends on the tint and must be measured.)
3. Ensure that the angle of incidence
3 of the beam striking the windowpane is
between 1º and 45º, preferably closer to 1º for greater beam penetration.
Note
On high buildings, for indoor window installation, the user should consider that occasionally the window-cleaning elevator might block the link beam.
Figure 14 shows the arrangement for transmitting through a window.
Angle A is the angle of incidence
1 0 < A < 45 0

TereScope 1
ML46508, Rev. 05 April 2004
Installation
Fiberoptic Cable
General
MRV supplies a special fiberoptic cable for carrying optical data between the
OptiSwitch (or Media Converter) and the TereScope 1. The cable contains both a transmit fiber and a receive fiber, each of different type. The TereScope 1 has no light source, detector, or amplifier inside. Therefore the cable plays a crucial role in the link, as any loss in the cable translates into an equal loss in the received signal strength.
The cable also contains two wires of gauge #20 AWG for connecting an optional indoors heating power supply to a heating circuit in the outdoor unit.
The fiberoptic cable is an outdoor cable having two active fibers, two copper wires of gauge #20 AWG, and one vacant sheath. The vacant sheath (together with the active fibers) is needed to give the cable a cylindrical shape for robustness. The cable has four connectors, two at each end, for interconnecting a TereScope 1 and OptiSwitch (or Media Converter). Each end of the cable is protected with a heat-shrink sleeve, part of which is shrunk around the cable end and the portion around the connectors is left unshrunk for protection of the connectors until they are safely connected. during the installation process. The cable is available in various lengths. (The specification of the cable is given in
Appendix A: Product Specification.)
Handling
The fiberoptic cable should be handled with care since fiberoptic cables, in general, are fragile. In particular,
• Do not bend any part of the fiberoptic cable to a radius that is smaller than the minimum permitted according to the manufacturer’s specification
(usually 210 mm or 8.25 in).
• Do not apply physical stress that is greater than the maximum permitted according to the manufacturer’s specification.
Caution!
Handle the fiberoptic cable and optical jumper ends with care even when the connectors are protected.
Testing
General
Before laying the fiberoptic cables, the attenuation of each fiber should be measured to determine if it is acceptable.
23
TereScope 1
ML46508, Rev. 05 April 2004
Tools and Equipment
The following tools and equipment are required for testing the fiberoptic cables.
• Fiberoptic cables.
• Optical-power meter – shown in Figure 15. (If the readings are in dBm, the
difference between the input and output power gives the power attenuation of the fiber in dB. )
• 850 nm light source
• 100/140 µm patch jumper fiberoptic cable
customer order).
• ST-ST adapter.
Figure 15: Light Source (left) and Optical-Power Meter (right) – Examples
4
An OptiSwitch module or a Media Converter may be used.
5
A patch jumper cable is short, has connectors at both ends, and has negligible attenuation.
6 Instead, the following fiberoptic patch cables may be used:
For Model A: 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm.
For Model C: 50/125 µm. (The 62.5/125 µm patch cable is not suitable for Model C because it introduces measurement errors.)
24
TereScope 1
ML46508, Rev. 05 April 2004
Procedure
1. Connect the optical power meter to the light source with the patch cable.
Measure the power (in dBm). Disconnect the patch cable from the power meter but leave its other end connected to the light source.
2. Connect one end of the transmit fiber (yellow-sheathed) of the fiberoptic cable under test to the patch cable with an ST-ST adapter. Connect its other end to the optical power meter. Measure the power (in dBm).
3. Note the difference in the two measurements in Steps 1 and 2. This is the
attenuation of the fiber in dB. Stick a label with the attenuation value on the fiber.
4. Repeat Steps 1 to 3 for the receive fiber (blue-sheathed) of the fiberoptic
cable.
5. For each fiber, the attenuation needs to be between 0.3 dB and 1 dB, depending on the cable length.
6. Repeat Steps 1 to 5 for all fiberoptic cables.
Laying
It is strongly recommended to run the fiberoptic cable on roofs and in buildings in cable canals (made of PVC) and not to pull them through ducts because of the risk of applying too much frictional stress.
For each bend of the cable at a corner, use a short piece of flexible plastic
tubular duct (the same type supplied with the TereScope 1 – see Figure 24). The
duct serves a double purpose. It ensures that no damaging stress will be applied to the cable, and that the cable will be accessible for troubleshooting if needed.
Preparation
Each end of each cable is fitted with two ST type optical connectors and protected with a heat shrink sleeve. After laying the fiberoptic cable, carefully cut off the unshrunk portion of the heat shrink sleeve with scissors or an exactor knife to reveal the cable fibers and their attached connectors and also the two copper wires.
Note
If your TereScope 1 is Model A, do not bend the cable fiber to a radius smaller than 60 mm (2 1 /2 in).
If your TereScope 1 is Model C, do not bend the cable fiber to a radius smaller than 120 mm (5 in).
Connection
The fiberoptic cables are connected after alignment is completed as described in
the section Connecting the TereScope 1s, Media Converters, and Switches.
25
TereScope 1
ML46508, Rev. 05 April 2004
Mounting
This section shows how to mount the TereScope 1 and accessories at a site. For
required materials, refer to Appendix B: Required Materials.
Note
Avoid surfaces with high reflectivity (e.g., white walls) behind the
TereScope 1 so as to reduce interference with the optical signal.
Mounting Accessories
Standard
The following standard mounting accessories are available for the TereScope 1:
1. Mounting Plate (JMP) and Mounting Ring – shown in Figure 16. These are
used for mounting on a horizontal concrete surface, and are supplied with all TereScope 1s. The Mounting Plate is always required.
2. Mounting Brackets (JMBs) – shown in Figure 17. They are used for
mounting on a vertical surface, and are supplied on customer order.
Non-Standard
These are additional accessories required for special mounting options, and are
supplied on customer order. The mounting options are shown in Figure 11,
Mounting Procedure
1. If you are going to use an MRV standard mount, disassemble the
mounting plate and mounting ring (shown in Figure 16) – if they are joined
to each other – from the TereScope 1.
2. Secure the mounting plate to a parapet, ledge, or an MRV mounting bracket, possibly with additional non-standard accessories. (When mounting the TereScope 1 on an MRV non-standard mount, do not disassemble the mounting plate from the ring – just connect the mounting plate with the supplied 4 x 8 mm bolts).
3. Place the TereScope 1 on the mounting plate.
4. Secure the TereScope 1 with bolts and washers, with the mounting ring
outside the bolts – see Figure 16. Do not tighten the bolts so that the
TereScope 1 can be rotated. Tighten them only after coarse alignment has
been performed as described in the section Coarse Alignment.

Special Mounting Techniques
This section describes two widely used mounting options:
• Mounting on the Floor
• Mounting on a Fragile/Crumbly Wall
Mounting on the Floor
On roofs with a metallic parapet or without a parapet, drilling holes in the roof floor is not recommended. In such cases, the only place where the installation is practicable or authorized is on the floor.
The technique for mounting on such roof floors – illustrated in Figure 18 – is as
follows:

1. Prepare a small concrete slab (60 cm x 60 cm x 15 cm). (This slab will be used to stabilize the pedestal
2. When the slab solidifies, secure the floor pedestal with screws passed through holes drilled into the slab.
3. Remove any intervening extraneous material, such as asphalt, present between the slab/tower base and the floor. After mounting is completed, restore the roof waterproofing around the slab with appropriate sealing material.

Mounting on a Fragile/Crumbly Wall
At sites where installation on fragile (pre-fab) or crumbly (old or red brick) walls is unavoidable, the best way to securely fix the vertical mounting brackets is to use a
metallic clamping plate 8 . The clamping plate provides greater rigidity and stability.
The technique for mounting on such walls is illustrated in Figure 19.

Alignment
General
Point-to-point connections require face-to-face orientation of both transceiving ends of the link. With wireless optical links, the beam spot should be positioned symmetrically on the remote receiver, as accurately as possible.
Tools and Equipment
Note
The customer can order patch cables and high-output portable source from
MRV.
The following tools and equipment are required at each link end:
• A communication device (mobile phone or walkie-talkie)
• 850 nm fiberoptic light source with 4 to 8 dBm output power to be launched into the 100 µm fiber. The precise output power required depends on the cable attenuation.
• Optical-power meter, preferably giving readings in milliwatts/microwatts rather than in dBm.
• Patch jumper fiberoptic cable (100/140 µm) – for the light source
• Patch jumper fiberoptic cable (400/430 µm or 600/630 µm) – for the power meter.
If there is no other light source available, the OptiSwitch module or Media
Converter transmitter (Tx port) may be used as the light source. The Tx port emits rated power upon power-up. No data transmission is required.
29
TereScope 1
ML46508, Rev. 05 April 2004
Caution!
Procedure
Cover the fiber output from view or turn off the light source until ready to connect it to the link.
The alignment procedure is done in two stages:
− Coarse Alignment
− Fine Alignment
Coarse Alignment
1. Slightly loosen the Horizontal Motion Locking Bolts and the Vertical Motion
Locking Bolts (two on each support bracket) – see Figure 16.
2. To enable maximum flexibility during the fine alignment stage, rotate the
fine alignment screws (Figure 20) until the alignment bar is centered.
3. While looking (see note below) through the telescope, rotate and tilt the
TereScope 1 to bring the telescope crosshairs on the telescope lens of the opposite TereScope 1.
Note
The laser used in the Opto-electronic modules is Class 1M and sighting it through the telescope from 10 m (33 ft) is not harmful. Even so, exposure time should be minimized.
4. Tighten the four coarse alignment screws and four bolts by applying a torque less than 20 Newton-meter.
Fine Alignment
General
The purpose of fine alignment is to position the center of the transmitted beam spot on the center of the TereScope 1 receiver – in both directions. This is
achieved by adjusting the horizontal and vertical motion screws (shown in Figure
20) until maximum power is received at the opposite TereScope 1.

Fine Alignment Horizontal Motion Screws – Two screws. Used for fine rotation of the TereScope 1 in the horizontal plane. Both screws are required to lock a horizontal position.
To use any fine alignment screw, its nut must first be released.
Procedure
Note
Two installers are required for fine alignment, one at each TereScope 1 site.
The fine alignment procedure is as follows:
1. Make certain the power meter is set for 850 nm wavelength.
2. At one TereScope 1 (Site A), remove the flange and duct (shown in Figure
24). Referring to Figure 21, do either one of the following:
a. Connect one end of the yellow-sheathed cable to an OptiSwitch module or Media Converter and the other end to the TereScope 1’s
FROM SWITCH connector, as shown in Figure 29 and Figure 30
or b. Connect a light source with a 100/140 µm patch cable to the FROM
SWITCH connector.
3. At the other TereScope 1 (Site B), remove the flange and duct. Referring
to Figure 21, use the patch cable (400/430
µm for Model A and
600/630 µm for Model C) to interconnect the optical power meter and the
TO SWITCH connector.
TO SWITCH Connector FROM SWITCH Connector
Figure 21: Connectors for Fiberoptic Cables
4. At Site A, turn the horizontal motion screws until the installer at Site B reports maximum received power. (This assures that the beam spot is positioned symmetrically in the left-right direction about the TereScope1
receiver located behind the telescope lens, as shown in Figure 22.)
Close the screws lightly – do not tighten!
31
TereScope 1
ML46508, Rev. 05 April 2004
5. At Site A, turn the vertical motion screws until the installer at Site B reports maximum received power. (This assures that the beam spot is now positioned at the center of the TereScope1 receiver located behind the
telescope lens, as shown in Figure 23. The received power should be
about the same as the expected power given in Table 3 of Appendix F:
Received Signal Power vs Distance. Table 3 shows expected power for
various distances.) Record the maximum received power in µW.
Note
This power reading is the sum of both signal and background light.
On a sunny day, for long air links, the background light may add significantly to
the true signal power. The problem is resolved in Steps 8 and 9.
6. Repeat the horizontal and then the vertical alignment to ensure maximum reading.
7. Tighten all the fine alignment screws and locking nuts.
8. Disconnect or turn off the light source, then measure and record the background light power in dBm.
9. Subtract the background reading from the recorded maximum received
power in Step 5 to get the signal power. This signal power should be close
to the expected power given in Appendix F: Received Signal Power vs
10. Repeat Steps 1 to 9 for the opposite direction.

4. Connect the transmit fiber (yellow-sheathed) to the FROM SWITCH connector, and the receive fiber (blue-sheathed) to the TO SWITCH connector.
5. Verify that the connectors are coupled well.
6. Screw the flange back into place, making sure it is firmly tightened.
7. Repeat Steps 1 to 6 for the other TereScope 1 of the link.
8. If you have MRV
9 OptiSwitches, connect the TereScope 1s as shown in
If you do not have OptiSwitches, connect the TereScope 1s to switches
via MRV MC102/P as shown in Figure 30.
9. If the heater is to be used, do the following at the indoor end of the cable: a. Strip the two copper wires of the cable. b. Strip the two copper wires of the output of the MRV heater power supply (15 V, cat no. 1406700). c. Connect each power supply output wire to one cable wire using the
wire-nuts provided as shown in Figure 28.

Troubleshooting
Since the TereScope 1 is a passive device, it is unaffected by EMI, RFI, power cuts, etc. Only violent physical disturbances or faulty optical power input from the
OptiSwitch module may cause the device to malfunction.
The following procedure shows how to troubleshoot a faulty optical power input.
Follow the steps in the order given until the problem is resolved. If the problem persists, consult your MRV representative.
1. Ensure that the fiberoptic cable at the OptiSwitch is properly connected.
2. Invoke the CLI command get-pal-port-optical-power
for the OptiSwitch module port connected to the TereScope 1. For MC102/P, check the reading on its front panel.
If the power is too low, first make sure that there are no interferences with the air link (e.g., fog, smoke, dust, etc.).
3. Ensure that the fiberoptic cable at the TereScope 1 is properly connected.
4. Ensure that the fiberoptic cable (connectors, etc.) is not physically damaged.
5. Ensure that there are no unnecessary bends or pressure on the optical cable anywhere in the building or on the roof.
6. Ensure that there is no physical damage to the TereScope 1.
7. Ensure that the optical link attenuation is less than the power budget of the OptiSwitch module.

Appendix D: Cleaning Optical
Connectors
General
Intrusions (e.g., dust, grease, etc.) at the interface of two optical fibers, such as at a pair of coupled connectors, attenuate the signal through the fiber.
Consequently, optical connectors must be cleaned before they are coupled with other connectors.
Tools and Equipment
Following are tools and equipment required for cleaning connectors.
• Dust caps
Caps for protecting the connector from intrusions. A cap is usually made from flexible plastic. When placing a cap over a connector, avoid pressing it against the fiber ferula surface in the connector so as to prevent contamination.
• Isopropyl alcohol
Solvent for contaminants.
• Tissues
Soft multi-layered fabric made from non-recycled cellulose.
Procedure
The procedure for cleaning connectors is as follows:
1. If no stains are present, using a new clean dry tissue, gently rub, in small circular motions, the exposed fiber surface and surrounding area in the connector to remove dust.
2. If stains are present,
A. Moisten a new clean dry tissue with isopropyl alcohol and gently rub, in small circular motions, the exposed fiber surface and surrounding area in the connector to remove the stains.
B. Using a new clean dry tissue, gently rub, in small circular motions, the exposed fiber surface and surrounding area in the connector to remove the dissolved stains and excess isopropyl alcohol.
C. If a connector is not to be coupled with another immediately, cover it with a dust cap.

Ambient Temperature
The required ambient temperature ranges for the EM2003-2PAL are as follows:
Operating: 0 to 40 °C
Storage: -10 to +50 °C
Mounting
To mount an EM2003-2PAL, do the following:
1. Make sure that the power to the OptiSwitch is OFF.
2. Select any available slot in the OptiSwitch.
3. If a Blank Panel is covering the slot, remove it by loosening the two screws.
4. Holding the EM2003-2PAL by the panel, place the two side edges of its metal base in the rails of the slot. Then slide it until its panel is level with the front panel of the OptiSwitch. (This assures that the module is properly inserted.)
5. Fasten the EM2003-2PAL with its two captive screws (shown in Figure 33).
Removing
1. Make sure that the power to the OptiSwitch is OFF.
2. Loosen the two captive screws on the EM2003-2PAL (shown in Figure 33)
and gently pull out the EM2003-2PAL.
