 DA-DS6804+D is a dual channel SD-SDI distribution amplifier. See page 7 for a
list of its main features.
 DA-HRO6804+D is a 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI single channel optical to electrical and
electrical to optical converting distribution amplifier. See page 8 for a list of its
main features.
 DA-DHROE6804+D is a 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI dual channel optical to electrical
converting distribution amplifier. See page 9 for a list of its main features.
 DA-DHREO6804+D is a 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI dual channel electrical to optical
converting distribution amplifier. See page 10 for a list of its main features.
 DA-DHROO6804+D is a 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI dual channel optical distribution
amplifier with dual electrical outputs. See page 12 for a list of its main
features.
Each distribution amplifier consists of a front module and a back module, and
operates in FR6802+ series frames.
Each distribution amplifier, with its corresponding back module, occupies two slots
in the frame. Ten distribution amplifiers can be loaded in a frame.
Each distribution amplifier contains two inputs and eight outputs, and can be
configured as a single channel (1×8_ACO or 1×8) or two independent channels
(2_1×4). Each FR6802+ frame can provide up to 20 channels for serial digital
signal distribution.
The DA-6804+D series is featured as “green” (power saving). The power can be
shut down automatically if no input signal is detected. Power consumption should
be reduced if any output BNC is not terminated.

Introduction
The setup, control, and monitoring can be controlled locally via jumpers on the
front edge of the front module with LED display; or remotely via RS-232 ports or
Ethernet connection using an ICE6800+ and 6800+ETH Ethernet connection and
Harris CCS control software. CCS remote control provides additional control
functions that are not included in local control mode.

Installation
Setup DA-6804+D series frames, back connectors, and front modules require different
setup procedures before the modules can be installed in the frame.
Procedures
Setting Up a Frame setup consists of installing a frame into its rack, and then connecting to a
Frame power and/or Ethernet source. See the appropriate frame installation and
operation manual for details on installing and operating the frame and its
components.
If the frame does not have CCS control, plug a power cord (A) to the back of the
frame as shown in Figure 2-1. Plug the other end of the power cord into an
electrical outlet.
Figure 2-1 Connection for Non-CCS Control

DA-6804+D Series 21
If the frame uses CCS control, plug the power cord (A) and the Ethernet connector
cable (B) to the back of the frame, as shown in Figure 2-2. Plug the other end of
the power cord into an electrical outlet. Plug the other end of the Ethernet
connector to a PC that has Harris CCS software installed.
Figure 2-2 Connection for CCS Control
Setting Up Back Back module setup consists of plugging in coaxial cables (A) and fiber optical
Connector cables (B), as shown in Figure 2-3. Apply a 75 coaxial cable to the BNC jacks and
LC single mode fiber optical cables, as appropriate, to installed back modules. The
Modules other ends of the cables should be connected to a system’s other devices.
Figure 2-3 Plugging in Coaxial and Fiber Optical Cables
CAUTION: Take special care when attaching fiber optical cables. See
page 21 for more information.

22 Chapter 2
Installation
Setting Up Front Front module setup consists of setting the jumpers for the DA-6804+D series
Modules modules. Three jumpers that need to be set: J1 and J2 are used for reclockers, and
J3 is designed for channel configuration and enabling remote control.
Figure 2-4 shows the location of the J1, J2, and J3 jumpers.
Figure 2-4 Jumper Locations
Setting Up J1 and J2 J1 and J2 are used to locally set the reclocker working mode. J1 is used for

Installation
Installing and The DA-6804+D series front modules have corresponding back modules that are
installed in the host frame. See page 24 for details on installing back modules.
Removing These modules cannot be installed in 6800/7000 series frames.
Modules
Back Module The DA-6804+D series back modules have specialized installation procedures. If
Installation installing both front and back modules, ensure that the back module is installed
first before plugging in the front module.
 When removing both the front and back modules, ensure that the front
module is unplugged from the frame first, before removing the back module.
 See the appropriate frame installation and operation manual for details on
installing and operating the frame and its components.
 See the 6800+ Safety Instructions and Standards Manual for important
information about safely installing your module.
Once you have installed the modules, you can connect them to the appropriate
input and outputs.
SFPs on DA-6804+D series back modules have plastic caps that protect the fragile
laser connections from dust (see Figure 2-5 on page 25). You must remove these
protective covers before you attach the fiber cables.
Figure 2-5 on page 25 shows a typical fiber optical back module. Your module’s
appearance may differ slightly from the one shown; however, the protective covers
are positioned identically and must be removed according to the instructions
provided. The installation instructions that follow will prompt you as to when you
should remove the protective covers.
In addition, all of the LC connections of the fiber optical cables must be inspected
and cleaned before they are assembled. Carefully follow the inspection and
cleaning steps described in the next pages. Additional safety information begins on
Laser Safety Guidelines on page 53.

DA-6804+D Series 25

1 Remove a blank back plate from the frame. Do not discard the blank back
plates. They may be needed for future configurations.
CAUTION: Microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously

impair or disable a fiber optic network. Observe strict cleaning
procedures. Do not touch the end of the fiber.
2 If it is already installed, remove the front module from the slot.

3 Install the new back module by inserting the bottom lip into the required
frame slot, and then screwing it into place.

3 Operation
When a frame, back modules, and the front module are set up, plug the front
module into the frame; connect the input and output cables to BNCs on back
module and/or LC fiber optional cables to SFPs; and turn on the power supply of
the frame. After approximately three seconds, the distribution amplifier should
operate properly. Usually there is no need for other operational changes.
Without a CCS remote control system, DA-6804+D series distribution amplifiers

are fully functional in FR6802+ frames. With an installed CCS system (including
6800+ETH module in the FR6802+ frame), distribution amplifier operation can be
monitored and configured on the remote computer display. The J3 jumper must be
set to REMOTE (see Table 2-3 on page 23). If the J3 jumper is not set to this
setting, the distribution amplifier can be remotely monitored only, and remote
configuration is not possible.

Operation
Operating When you set the control parameters on DA-6804+D series distribution amplifiers,
observe the following:
Notes  If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also
be affected.
 When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module
requires up to 30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new
settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be
restarted.
Setting In the local control operation mode, all of the settings’ data status information
appears on the CCS control software application control screen; however, you

A Laser Safety Guidelines
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than

those specified in this document may result in hazardous laser
radiation exposure.
Optical fiber telecommunication systems, their associated test sets, and similar
operating systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit infrared (IR) light
at wavelengths between approximately 800 nanometers and 1600 nanometers.
The emitted light is above the red end of the visible spectrum, which is normally
not visible to the human eye. Although radiant energy at near-IR wavelengths is
officially designated invisible, some people can see the shorter wavelength energy
even at power levels several orders of magnitude below any that have been shown
to cause injury to the eye.

54 Appendix A
Laser Safety Guidelines
General Laser Conventional lasers can produce an intense beam of monochromatic light. (The
term “monochromaticity” means a single wavelength output of pure color that
Information may be visible or invisible to the eye.) A conventional laser produces a small-sized
beam of light, and because the beam size is small the power density (also called
“irradiance”) is very high. Consequently, for their safe operation, lasers and laser
products are subject to federal and applicable state (USA) regulations, as well as
international standards.
A conventional laser beam expands very little over distance, or is said to be very
well “collimated”; thus, conventional laser irradiance remains relatively constant
over distance. Lasers used in lightwave systems, however, have a large beam
divergence, which is typically 10 to 20 degrees. Here, irradiance obeys the inverse
square law (doubling the distance reduces the irradiance by a factor of 4) and
rapidly decreases over distance.
Lasers and The optical energy emitted by laser and high-radiance LEDs in the 400-1400 nm
range may cause eye damage. When a beam of light enters the eye, the eye
Eye Damage magnifies and focuses the energy on the retina, magnifying the irradiance. The
irradiance of the energy that reaches the retina is approximately 105 or 100,000
times more than at the cornea and, if sufficiently intense, may burn the retina.
The damage mechanism at the wavelengths used in an optical fiber

telecommunications is thermal in origin, i.e., damage caused by heating. A specific
amount of energy is required for a definite time to heat an area of retinal tissue.
Damage to the retina occurs only when you look at the light sufficiently long that
the product of the retinal irradiance and the viewing time exceeds the damage
threshold. Optical energies above 1400 nm cause corneal and skin burns but do
not affect the retina. The thresholds for injury at wavelengths greater than 1400
nm are significantly higher than for wavelengths in the retinal hazard region

DA-6804+D Series 55
Classification Manufacturers of lasers and laser products in the U.S. are regulated by the Food
and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (FDA/CDRH)
of Lasers under 21 CFR 1040. These regulations require manufacturers to certify each laser
or laser product as belonging to one of four major Classes: I, II, IIa, IIIa, IIIb, or IV.
The International Electro-Technical Commission is an international standards body

that writes laser safety standards under IEC-60825. Classification schemes are
similar with Classes divided into Classes 1, 2, 3A, 3B, and 4.
Lasers are classified according to the accessible emission limits and their potential
for causing injury. Optical fiber telecommunication systems are generally classified
as Class I/1 because, under normal operating conditions, all energized laser
transmitting modules are terminated on optical fibers which enclose the laser
energy with the fiber sheath forming a protective housing.
Also, a protective housing/access panel is typically installed in front of the laser

modules frames. The modules themselves, however, may be FDA/CDRH Class I or
IIIb; or IEC Class 1, 3A, or 3B.
Laser Safety In its normal operating mode, an optical fiber communication system is totally
enclosed and presents no risk of eye injury. It is a Class I/1 system under the FDA
Precautions and IEC classifications. The fiber optic cables that interconnect various components
of an optical fiber can disconnect or break, and may expose people to laser
for Optical emissions. Also, certain measures and maintenance procedures may expose the
technician to emission from the semiconductor laser during installation and
Fiber Com- servicing.
munication Unlike more familiar laser devices, such as solid-state and gas lasers, the emission
pattern of a semiconductor laser results in a highly divergent beam. In a divergent
Systems beam, the irradiance (power density) decreases rapidly with distance. The greater
the distance, the less energy will enter the eye, and the less potential risk for eye
injury.
Inadvertently viewing an unterminated fiber or damaged fiber with the unaided

eye at distances greater than 5 to 6 in. (127 to 152 mm) normally will not cause
eye injury, provided that the power in the fiber is less than a few milliwatts at the
near IR wavelengths and a few tens of milliwatts at the far IR wavelengths.
Laser Safety WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than
those specified in this document may result in hazardous laser
radiation exposure.
Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that

emit infrared light that is normally not visible to the human eye. Although a
conventional laser produces a small beam of light, the power density is very high,
and it can damage your eyes.

56 Appendix A
If a beam of laser light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses the energy on
the retina. The energy that reaches the retina can be as much as 100,000 times
more than at the cornea and, as a result, it can burn the retina.
Laser transmission products are classified in four major groups (Class 1, 2, 3, and
4), according to their emissions and potential for causing injury. Fiber optic
transmitter modules in this series are designated Class 1.
Precautions for Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication systems are
Enclosed Systems completely enclosed; nonetheless, observe the following precautions:
 Because of the potential for eye damage, technicians should not stare into
optical connectors or broken fibers.
 Under no circumstance shall laser/fiber optic operations be performed by a
technician before satisfactorily completing an approved training course.
 Since viewing laser emissions directly in excess of Class I/1 limits with an
optical instrument such as an eye loupe greatly increases the risk of eye
damage, appropriate labels must appear in plain view, in close proximity to the
optical port on the protective housing/access panel of the terminal
equipment.
WARNING: Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a

microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at the
energized fiber end.
Precautions for During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication

Unenclosed system is considered unenclosed. Under these conditions, follow these practices:
Systems CAUTION: Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to
do service, maintenance, and restoration.
 Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical

connectors at close distances.
Laser modules associated with the optical ports of laser circuit packs are
typically recessed, which limits the exposure distance. Optical port shutters,
Automatic Power Reduction (APR), and Automatic Power Shut Down (APSD)
are engineering controls that are also used to limit the emissions. However,
technicians removing or replacing laser modules should not stare or look
directly into the optical port with optical instruments or magnifying lenses.
(Normal eyewear or indirect viewing instruments such as Find-R-Scopes are not
considered magnifying lenses or optical instruments).
 Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment
during installation or servicing.
 Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set.
 Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the optical
fiber systems during installation and service.

B Inspecting and
Connections
Small amounts of microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or
disable a fiber optic network. To ensure that your network operates reliably, you
must carefully inspect and clean each connection when installing fiber optical
products.
Table B-1 lists some typical contaminants of a fiber optic connection. The
inspection and cleaning procedure begins on page 61.
Table B-1 Typical Contaminants

Contaminant Comments
Dust particle, 1 micron Can block up to 1% of the light transmission,
creating a loss of 0.05 dB
Dust particle, 9 Although microscopic, the particle can
microns completely block the fiber core
Human hair Typically 50 to 75 microns in diameter
Oil Frequently caused by touching
Film residues Can accumulate from vapors or smoke
Powdery coatings Can be left behind after water or other solvents
evaporate

60 Appendix B
Inspecting and Cleaning Fiber Optic Connections
Important  Before you begin cleaning, always inspect the fiber connections.
 Inspect and clean both fiber ends every time you make a connection.
Points  Keep a protective cap on unplugged fiber connectors.
 Do not touch the end of a fiber.
 Store unused protective caps in a clean resealable container, located nearby for
easy access.
 Do not reuse cleaning tissues or swabs.
 Do not allow alcohol or another wet cleaning agent to dry on a fiber end.
 Never touch the dispenser tip of an alcohol bottle or any clean portion of a
tissue or swab.
 Use care when handling the fiber; do not twist or pull.
 Keep your cleaning fluids away from open flame or spark.
Figure B-1 describes the acceptable limits of defects in a fiber connection.

Inspection To inspect and clean the fibers, follow these steps:
1 Ensure the fiber is not “live.”
I ON : Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as

a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an
energized fiber end.
2 Inspect the fiber endface with a fiberscope.

If the connector is dirty, proceed to the dry cleaning instructions below.
Dry Cleaning If you are using cartridge or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the
manufacturer’s directions. If you are using lint-free wipes, follow these steps:
1 Fold the lint-free wipe four to eight times into a square, taking care to avoid
touching the cleaning surface of the wipe.
2 Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.
CAUTION: Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave

scratches.
3 Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a new wipe.
4 Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope.
5 If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps on page 24.
If the connector is still dirty, proceed to the wet cleaning instructions.
Wet Cleaning Using 99% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean
the fiber:
1 Fold the wipe into a square, about 4 to 8 layers thick.

2 Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99% alcohol,
ensuring that a portion of the wipe remains dry.
3 Lightly wipe the fiber end in the alcohol-moistened portion of the lint-free
wipe.
4 Immediately repeat the wiping action on the dry section of the wipe, removing
any residual alcohol.
5 Inspect the fiber endface again, and if necessary, repeat the wet cleaning with
another clean section of the lint-free wipe.
CAUTION: Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave

scratches.
6 Dry clean any remaining residue, and then inspect the connector again.

62 Appendix B
Inspecting and Cleaning Fiber Optic Connections
7 If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure until
the endface is clean.
If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call
Customer Service for further instructions.
If the fiber end is clean, return to the installation instructions on page 24.
