Safety precautions must be observed when handling the OmniBER
OTN’s Optical Modules as these generate laser signals which can
cause serious injury. The guidelines below must be followed:
•
Check the connector configuration of the Fiber Optic Interfaces. If non FC/PC
connectors are fitted then remove them, then fit the FC/PC connector interface.
•
Check for any damage to the OmniBER OTN’s Fiber Optic Interface spring
loaded aperture covers and connectors. Do not power up the instrument if in
any doubt about the integrity of these connectors.
