Safety Precautions
Please follow the following safety rules:
•
Do not remove instrument covers when operating.
•
Ensure that the instrument is switched off throughout the cleaning
procedures.
•
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the instrument from the mains
before cleaning. Use a dry cloth, or one slightly dampened with water,
to clean the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean internally.
•
After cleaning, do not switch on the instrument when there is no
termination to the optical output connector, to the optical fiber or to
the attached device. The laser radiation is not visible to the human eye,
but it can seriously damage your eyesight.
For Class 3B lasers
WARNING
The built-in laser diode is active whenever the instrument is powered on,
therefore disabling the output is not sufficient to establish eye and skin
safe conditions.
CAUTION
Protect your extra-high power tunable laser from damage:
•
Clean the instrument’s output connector and all interfaces of attached
fibers and termination devices to avoid burning-in dust and other
residue!
•
Do not leave plastic caps on the output connector or on the end of a
connected fiber when you activate the laser – you risk damaging the
connector surface with deposit from hot plastic!
•
Make sure the optical path is terminated properly and confirm that the
termination can cope with an optical power level of over +18.5 dBm or
70 mW!
•
Use a metal cap to cover the laser outputs when open. Terminate
open patchcord ends with a commercially available “fiber optic light
trap”.
