The DIP-switch S1 establishes the mode of operation
of the modem.
Switch C-1 is reserved for future use. C-2 establishes a
permanent carrier on the line which is useful in a four-
wire fullduplex connection.
Switch 2-W distinguishes between two-wire and
four-wire operation of the modem. In two-wire mode
X3-1 and X3-2 form terminal NF1 which is used for
transmission and reception. In four-wire mode X3-1
and X3-2 form the transmitter terminal NF1 and X3-3
and X3-4 form the receiver pair NF2.
The next three switches belong to the transmitter
amplitude. In a long multi-drop line configuration,
where the modem in the central needs a high
amplification factor to receive the signal of the last
modem, the transmission level of the modem next to
the central station can be reduced by 20 dB with the
–20dB switch. This is done to avoid overdrive of the
receiver in the central station modem. To compensate
a low-pass character of the transmission line, the
amplitude of the upper transmission frequency can
be increased by 20 %, 40 % and 60 %. If both switches
20% and 40% are ‘off’, no increasing of the amplitude
takes place.
The 500FSD10 has five predefined receiver
amplifications: 0 dB, 10 dB, 20 dB, 30 dB and 40 dB.
These are set by the switches 10dB to 40dB. Only one
amplification DIP switch is allowed to be in the 'on'
position at a time.
If the 500FSD10 is to be terminated with the line
impedance, the DIP switches T-T and T-R need to be
switched to 'on'. This is usually the case at both ends
of the line. If the modem is to be connected in a party-
line manner in between, these DIP switches have to
be ’off’. T-T terminates the low frequency (LF) line
NF1, which is formed by terminals X3-1 and X3-2. T-
R terminates the receiver pair NF2 of the four-wire
configuration with terminals X3-3 and X3-4.

Safety
DANGER
Interrupt the power supply before mounting or
dismounting the device.
WARNING
An easy to access manual interrupter has to be
installed into the power feed of the modem to be
able to disconnect the modem from the power
supply in the case of an emergency.
WARNING
The DC power supply has to fulfil the following
requirements in order to supply appropriate fire
protection:
•
Limited power source according to IEC 60950-1
or PS2 classified according to IEC 62368-1
•
Short-circuit current < 8A
WARNING
No plug shall be freely accessible in normal
operation due to safety reasons.
