When you need to:
  Transfer 16 Digital Control signals from a noisy environment,
  Isolate digital signal from high voltage sources,
   Control systems over a long distance,
   Reduce wiring costs,
   Get rid of interferences and spikes
   Get fast and accurate response to your control signals,

The AFL-160 digital/Dry contact fiber optic link Can tranmit 16 Contact closures or 16 TTL signals over a long range at a 93 KHz update speed.

The AFL-160 was primarily designed for industrial and control application. The product is sampling the 16 Digital TTL input at a rate of 93 KHz. simultaneously and transmit all control signals to 16 digital outputs. Those outputs are available as 16 Form C relay contacts or as 16 TTL compatible outputs (0-5V or 0-3.3V). A "LINK" led and relay contacts enables the user to know if the link was disconnected and take any precautions needed to halt the system.
Input sampling and output updates may be synchronized to external circuits or controllers by using the "SAMPLE" pin at the Transmitter or at the Receiver.

The AFL-160 consists of the following components:
  A digital input Fiber Optic Transmitter - AFL-160/TX,
with TTL compatible inputs.
  A digital Fiber Optic Fiber Optic Receiver - AFL-160/RX,
This unit can be configured with Dry contacts (1 change-over per TTL input)
or with TTL outputs.
  Up to 3 km of Multi-mode glass fiber or 50 Km of Single-mode fiber (optional).
Optical budget with Single Mode transceivers: 30 dB
  2 power supplies of 12V - one for each side.
  Can be modified to 24V supplies + DIN rail holder for DIN rail mounting.

The link is connected between the TTL inputs at the transmitter , and the Relay contact outputs at the receiver.

Ordering Information

The AFL-160 may be ordered with Single-Mode or Multi-Mode receivers and transmitters.
Single mode transmitters work in a different wavelength than Multi-mode transmitters and they cannot be combined!
  Each side needs a separate power supply or battery. All units, on the same side, which share the same common ground, may use the same power supply
  A stabilized power supply may supply power for up to 5 (optionally 10) receivers or transmitters (with 16 I/O lines each)

EXAMPLE:
TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER PAIR:
AFL-160 - TT - REL - MM - R
Where:
 TT = TTL Input voltage range(0-5V).
 REL = Relay Outputs(standard). TT = TTL outputs.
  MM= Multi-Mode Transceivers. SM = Single Mode Transceivers
 R = Range in meter

POWER SUPPLIES
AFL-160 - O3
  Power supply for 3 links (for one side - 3 Transmitters or 3 receivers or mixed)

AFL-160-10
Power supply for powering up to 10 units(for one side, Receivers or Transmitters)

Linear Power supplies are also available.
