Note: (A) or (B) in brackets in above table refers to RS485 / RS422 data specification, not Channel A,

Data Channel A Configuration
Channel A is always present and allows for a RS232, RS422 (full duplex, four wire) or RS485 (half
duplex, two wire) interface depending on the position of the switch located above the RJ45 connector.
The switch signifies the presence of the X16004 Low Speed Data/Audio Interface Board. If there are
LED's present on the RJ45 connector then an X16003 Ethernet Interface Board is fitted.
The data input for both the RS485 and the RS422 modes detects a tri-state input condition by
monitoring the differential voltage level across the input. A differential level below 600mV positive or
negative will be detected as a tri-state condition. A level above 600mV positive or negative will be
detected as a logic 1 or logic zero respectively. It is important therefore to terminate the RS485 bus or
the RS422 input bus using 120Ω if a pre-bias is present on the RS485 or RS422 bus.
A large number of third party equipment manufacturers apply a pre-bias on their RS485 bus. This prebias is applied by pulling one arm of the RS485 bus high (+5 volts) and the other arm low (0 volts)
using high value resistors within the third party equipment. In order to ensure that the AMG equipment
detects a tri-state condition, then these resistors should have a value above 5kΩ. If the third party
bias resistors are less the 750Ω the bus can be double or triple terminated as required to ensure that a
tri-state level is detected.
Note: The Data Channel A is shipped from the factory set up for RS485 operation unless otherwise
requested.

Mounting Details
The AMG unit is supplied with a clip-on mounting bracket which should be attached to a panel or wall
using 2 off 4.0mm screws, see diagram on page 1 for dimensions. The unit is clipped into the
mounting bracket, and is then held firmly in position.
Removal / replacement from / to the Case
Note: - The AMG unit PCB's are static sensitive. Handle with proper care and use normal electrostatic
discharge (ESD) procedures. Use properly grounded protection (for example, wrist straps) when
handling the PCB.
To remove units from the case to access the data expansion boards and the daughter boards, remove
the 2 or 4 fixing screws on the rear panel and slide the PCB's out of the case.
Ensure that the fibres do not snag or get trapped.
To replace the PCB's into the case, slide the PCB's gently into the case aligning the boards with the
appropriate slots. Ensure that the fibre do not snag or get trapped.
Safety
AMG Optical Fibre Products use Class 1 laser systems in accordance with EN 60825-2:2000.
It is always advisable to follow good practice when working with optical fibre systems. This includes:

Do not stare with unprotected eyes or with any unapproved collimating device at fibre
ends or connector faces, or point them at other people.

Use only approved filtered or attenuating viewing aids
For other safety issues and advice on good practice associated with optical fibre systems, please see
EN 60825-2:2000 or your local safety officer.
Maintenance and Repair
There are no user serviceable parts within AMG products. See unit data sheet for full specification.
In case of problem or failure, please call your local support centre or contact: AMG Systems Ltd. at
