Warning: Radiation
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Avoid personal injury! The laser light source on this equipment (if a
transmitter) or the fiber cables connected to this equipment emit invisible
laser radiation. Avoid direct exposure to the laser light source.
Avoid personal injury! Viewing the laser output (if a transmitter) or fiber
cable with optical instruments (such as eye loupes, magnifiers, or
microscopes) may pose an eye hazard.
Do not apply power to this equipment if the fiber is unmated or unterminated.
Do not stare into an unmated fiber or at any mirror-like surface that could reflect
light emitted from an unterminated fiber.
Do not view an activated fiber with optical instruments (e.g., eye loupes,
magnifiers, microscopes).
Use safety-approved optical fiber cable to maintain compliance with applicable
laser safety requirements.
Fiber Cable Handling
With repeated use, optical connectors can become dirty or scratched. This can
seriously degrade system performance. It is critical that connectors be maintained in
good condition. Do not disconnect or connect any connectors unless absolutely
necessary. Always clean both halves of each connector with a alcohol solution (99%
recommended) and lint-free wipes when preparing to join the two halves. Use
compressed air to clean the adapter.
Note: A ferrule cleaner, part number 468517, may be ordered for use with SC and FC
